When you install Windows Server 2003 and log in for the first time, the Manage Your Server window opens.

Procedure

To configure Active Directory

  1. In the Manage Your Server window, click the Add or remove a role icon, which will open the Configure Your Server Wizard.

  2. On the Preliminary Steps page, make sure that you have completed all of the prerequisite preparation, and then click Next.

  3. On the Server Role page, in the list under Server Role, click Domain Controller (Active Directory), as illustrated in the following figure.

    This automatically launches the Active Directory Installation Wizard.

  4. On the Welcome page, click Next.

  5. On the Domain Controller Type page, shown in the following figure, click Domain controller for a new domain, and then click Next.

  6. On the Create New Domain page, click Domain in a new forest, and then click Next.

    The Wi-Fi Authentication Test Suite must be run against a private network, one that is isolated from the corporate network. For this reason, this domain controller must be a root domain controller.

  7. On the New Domain Name page, enter the name of the new domain, and then click Next.

    Important

    Use the .local label, for example, Wince.local, because this provides a more secure configuration for your test environment than using other labels. It is not registered for use on the Internet and will prevent the server from attempting to authenticate itself against a higher domain.

  8. On the Database and Log Folders page, keep the default values for the Database folder and Log Folder, and then click Next.

    Important

    If you want to change the location of these folders, you can do so, but the drive that you use must be a local resource and it must not be mapped to a network path.

  9. On the Shared System Volume page, keep the default value for Folder location, and click Next.

    For the Wi-Fi Authenticate Test Suite, setting a shared system volume is irrelevant.

The process for setting up DNS server functionality begins with the next page of the Active Directory Installation Wizard. See How To Set Up a DNS Server.
