This video is part of a series regarding the installation and configuration of Microsoft Active Directory. In this video, we add a Windows 11 24H2 administrative workstation, sometimes otherwise known as a privileged-access workstation (PAW), from which all (or almost all) domain and server administration will happen. This workstation will be on a dedicated “administrative” VLAN. We’ll cover the following topics. △ Operating System Preparation △ Configuring Domain Controller firewall settings via GPO △ Adding Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows △ Installing Windows Admin Center △ Installing SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and VSCode △ Testing Remote Connections and Sessions △ Enabling Remote SSH Access △ Next Domain Steps Other actions and tasks we’ll cover in this Active Directory series are: 🪟 Adding member servers (DHCP, DFS, SQL, SCCM, etc.) 🐧 Adding Linux clients as domain members 🪟 Failover clustering. 🪟 Standup a new forest and domain using Windows Server Core (no GUI). . . . and more.
