Tutorials on DHCP, DNS & Active Directory, all in one

[raaman rai]

i have found individual tutorials on configureing DHCP, DNS and Active Directory but has not been able to find all of it in one. Its difficult for a person like me to configure all these correctly as i dont know how are three of these services related with eachother. I dont know which should be configured first and what are the parameters that is needed to be set in order to configure all these options correctly. Its quite frustrating that if one works the other gives a problem.

So, please kindly direct me to a good tutorials which includes configurations of all these three services.

Hi,
though this answer comes a year after your question, ihope i may still help you out

first what is a dhcp,

dhcp or dynamic host configuration protocol, it gives an automatic IP address to all computers, when the computer disconnects to the network, then he will have another ip address the next time he logs in courtesy of DHCP

now, going to DNS
what dns does is to translate ip address into words, or sites that are easy for us humans to memorize

Active Directory,

active directory is a huge collection of services tied into 1 service, its primary concern is to create, manage users on the whole domain, but for some case you can add up roles- such as file server, print server, web server, applciation server and so on so forth,

these three are interconnected logically, because, each one of them plays an important or vital role in a domain, except for DHCP, whereas you can use a static ip address instead,

static ipaddress gives a user defined ip address that will not be changed even if you turn your computer off, not unless a priviledge user changes your ip
