Eli,
You are an inspiration to all of us who want to learn or relearn computers in the network environment. I semi retired 2009 and now want to return to the computer world. You make it exciting to get through each course. Thank you for sharing you professional knowledge.
I'm studying ccna 5 year course, and we are now installing windows server 2012 and configuration them. Weird that I have learned more from watching you than my actual teachers it's kind of sad tbh, but thanks anyhow.
You mean a CCNA course which is over 5 years long???
Your the man, I've learn so much from you it's amazing !. God bless you....
Hey Eli,
Thank you for the informative content you have been pushing out. I've been following your videos for quite some time.
Without these videos, I could not have landed my first I.T job.
I love your videos thank you, I'm 17 and interested in going to school for IT before enlisting for an officer position in the Marines, your videos are interesting and helpful.
eli your videos are great , you are helping so many people , may god bless you
You are very good with making video's making time and explaining why. Its very usefull for myself because i have a project for my internship.
And you don't speak very fast, thats nice because if you come from the Netherlands not everybody can follow someone that is very fast speaking.
You are looking in to the camera and it feels really like you speaking to me.
Keeps up!!!
Eli, you rock. Thank you for the knowledge transfer and guidance. You are doing a great job. Thank you from the entire digital forensics community.
Thanks Eli. Information given was concise and gave me a quick refresher course.
Simply and eficience. Thanks for your videos, Eli!
Good teacher ! Super LIKE
bro you look like Jason stathom 😊😊 .. great lecture BTW
may be his brother

thank you so much!. simple but very informative! GodBlessyou!
BEST REGARDS KING =)
BRO you are classy . thanks for your brilliant lecuture.
First off all, pardon my grammar, but I love watching your videos. It is really helpful.
Second, I want to address an issue that I have to join a server to a Domain Controller, don't you need to change the IP address of the server to point to the Domain Controller, I also had to disable the firewall to join the domain. I'm not sure if you need to do this, but in your video you didn't talk about disabling the firewall. Also, there is no internet, how can you configured the internet access?
Thanks for making it simple and easy
Thanx for gave us information about that in simple language
You buy server grade boards, ECC (error correction) memory (minimum of 16 GB), 2 Intel Xeon processor 3 to 5 HDDs (1 or 2 TBs each). If you want to build it virtually remember you are limited to the box VMWare Player is on. That means whatever CPU, memory, mobo, HDs (or SDDs) in the virtual environment. Though going virtual is becoming the norm, I still prefer physical hardware on physical machines. BTW Exchange is a PITA to work with, and if you screw up the install it is a PITA to remove.
thanks for all of the information!
i dont no how a can thank you you are the best thank you so much for tutorial
in a smb a server or two may have multiple roles or multiple virtual machines with windows hyper-visor
you are awesome man, been following your video's and have learnt so much. Thank you :)
If you right click on the Start button(in Windows 8, 10, or Server 2012) there is an option for System in the menu.
You don't have to create the computer in AD before joining it to the domain do you? If the account isn't there and you join the domain with valid credentials, it should just create the item automatically, shouldn't it?
Is there any particular reason/benefit to creating the computer account in the active directory before adding the actual computer/server to the domain?
In my experience, if the computer name is set correctly on the PC/server you're going to add,
the process of adding it will create the computer account automatically.
There is no reason to add the new server to AD manually. I'm not sure why he demonstrated it that way. It's an extra, unnecessary step.
That said, I'm really enjoying these videos. Thanks Eli!
+Mark Warbington Not necessarily true. In real world scenarios you can create a pre-staged computer account in AD and move it to the correct OU for proper management before the actual computer joins. Once you connect your actual server to the domain, AD will recognize the server and attach it to the pre-staged account that is already located in the proper OU. If a computer is not pre-staged before adding to the domain, the new computer object will be in the default folder and you will have to manually locate it and set its management scope, greatly reducing the efficiency of the process. Imagine in Eli's case where he had to add 200+ servers for his client, do you really want to manually drag and drop 200 computer accounts to their perspective OU after installation? While for the purpose of this video it doesn't really do much, Eli is just promoting good practice in general as an experienced IT guy should.
+turtleban This 100%. In a somewhat large environment that I work at we have hundreds of regional offices all over the state and when the local Admin adds a computer without creating the object in AD first, it gets sent to a default folder which only our head Server Admin has and it creates work that is unneeded. Just as a personal example from a newbie to back up your statement :)
Could you do a class on how to set up a webserver in a CentOS console environment? Would be awesome!
You probably have covered this under a previous video, but I have been watching and haven really seen an answer. When you added this server to the domain, how did it know the IP address of your domain controller? Did you have dynamic DHCP enabled, or is there an A record on the DHCP server for the ETCG domain name?
I have really enjoyed your videos and have learned a great deal from them. Keep up the fantastic work!
Tank you for sharing your knowledge with us :)
helped me A LOT in my work =) Thank you very much!!
I love you ELI ♥️❤️.
HI Eli,
I was really enjoying watching this video. however I have a question, will you post any video about introducing and migrating domain from Server 2003 to Server 2012?
Kind regards
i have found a teacher for me to learn.
That was very to follow, thanks a lot. Any video on how to set the new server for file share? I have trouble since I dont know hot to import the users from the original server, which has the Active Directory, to set permissions to the folders. Thanks in advance for any help
great tutorial. do you have the follow up tutorial to manage this joined server like being a file server?
I am getting an error that says "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted." I am using Server 2016 as my AD-DS and trying to connect another Server 2016 to the domain.
Hello Eli, thank you very much for this tutorial.
I tell you, I am a computer engineering student and I am studying to develop my final project. Broadly speaking this has to add a web server to an active directory network to control each computer in the network and send them commands, in turn they will send information back, something like communication by sockets.
This are my questions:
1) If I want to add a web server to the active directory network, does this necessarily have to be IIS? (Would this be the best option?)
In case the first answer is a yes.
2) Within IIS, can I program in node JS the logic of the application that will control each client computer of the active directory network? Or should I necessarily learn ASP.NET, C #, MSSQL, etc.?
Thank you so much for everything.
So in windows 2012 server do you have to add the computer to active directory first before joining the domain, in 2008 and 2003 you just joined the server to the domain and it added the server to active directory for you.
friend and eli i need help , i was following along with these videos ,but when it comes to join the file server to domain controller , it doesn't allow me to do so, it says domain cannot be contacted.
i need help
Yup.. you are right
V Informative
Hello Eli am working on Domain controller om my domain but i dont know how to create subdomain can you help me
While installing windows server 2012 R2 in vmware it is showing error system service exception can you please tell me the solution
unable to contact active directory to verify claim types ! need help, tried to share a folder and this error pop
it wont let my friend connect to it is there a way to connect to it without same LAN/Nat like my friend is in another state
How do you work out what server hardware you need to support x amount of users on say a DC, File Server and Exchange, each physical servers? Or if the 3 servers are all running as VM's on one physical server?
Hi there, I am using VirtualBox and I have try what you show me in the video and it not working. what kind of network adapter do I need to use in order to add the other server to the domain controller server domain?
Having the similar issue. I created my own network with little hassle but dont know what I am doing wrong. But I 'll be researching it. I wonder if my problem is due to me working on one virtual and one physical ?
Have you put the computer with Virtualbox into another subnetwork?
For example - your default subnetwork, that connected to the ISP router is 192.168.0.0, then you should put the PC into an another subnetwork, for example: 192.168.1.0.
Have you split the network with an another router?
Yes! Actually I did both. I even bought a router and a switch since I didn't have another router. I am not certain however if I need to configure port forwarding. Thanks for the response.
are you getting an error message or something like that?
If yes, what does it says?
I got an error message, says: "DNS name does not exist" error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR
why is that? I did everything the same way like u... :(
thanks for help
Nice.
Hi,
I need your help to clarify something.
If a have a file server 2012 and an active directory 2012 server.
I need to add the file server to my 2012 ad, so that when sharing the folder on the file server 2012 user get some rights as on the active directory 2012 server.
Kindly confirm if this process will work for me.
hi.....my domain controller is in my network and i want my additional domain controller in my other network / office...kindly help me is it possible?
or tell me the way to do.....thank you
yes it is possible....
Eli the Computer Guy - I am trying to join a child domain controller located on a network located in India to a forest with top level domain (root) located in Australia / Sydney (Here). Is it possible to do that or does the CHILD Domain controller have to be on the same DOMAIN as the forest it's trying to connect to?
I have heard that Site A is capable to connect to Site B (both sites are located on separate networks) I understand basics of forest, domains and child domains...
Can I add an existing MS SBS 2003 to MS Server 2012 in much the same way. What happens if the SBS 2003 had previously been a domain controller. Thank you

i try the administrator user name and the password
but it is not work.
do you have any idea?

and i can ping and remore to server 2012 from my win 10
so i don't know
What should I do if my server tells me "the specific domain either does not exist or could not be contacted" when in putting administror credentials at 11:16 ?
Try to ping your server first, maybe something is wrong with the connectivity
hi am a big fan but as i wanted to add a server i got this error
Note: This information is intended for a network administrator. If you are not your network's administrator, notify the administrator that you received this information, which has been recorded in the file C:\WINDOWS\debug\dcdiag.txt.
The domain name "SPORTSHD" might be a NetBIOS domain name. If this is the case, verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS.
If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then the following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS configuration.
The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate an Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) for domain "SPORTSHD":
The error was: "DNS name does not exist."
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.SPORTSHD
Common causes of this error include the following:
- The DNS SRV records required to locate a AD DC for the domain are not registered in DNS. These records are registered with a DNS server automatically when a AD DC is added to a domain. They are updated by the AD DC at set intervals. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses:
- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:
SPORTSHD
SAME PROBLEM
Are you related to Eric The Car Guy(ETCG)?
I know this is super old, but in work enviroments people can sometimes work from home, which means they have to have access to the main server over the internet, can you or anyone show us or link me an existing video on how to do that?
Dylan Maniatakes Usually they use a remote desktop app or VPN into a mgt station on the same network then RDP into the target box.
how i can add second server to the domain?
its just pre set ur computer in active directory
I want to k own how to join my domain out of my network
Why when entering domain name you have entered just ETCG and not ETCG.com is it the same thing ?
That's what I was thinking, but it worked so IDK.
How to add a NAS to my server?
how many active directory in server
Thanks, but way too much time was spent explaining that enterprise businesses have one server per service because of a higher budget
in typical environment, should have their own naming convention
Hi Eli,
Would like to see more about hacking videos from you... :)
Can we use linux server ?
how to create domain name?
great video will be a lot of help for me, thanks. I am doing an assignment which requires me to create servers at VM on windows 2012
200 servers !!! wouldn't be better to use a virtualizacion appliance ??
Yo Dawg. I heard you like servers, so I put a server in your server, so you can network while you network.
no u dont have to add computer to active directory
Where is yours hacking classes ? :(
1st love your Videos Eli
talking about what you will be talking about instead of actually talking about it
no no. It's slosh slosh server slosh share
i know whack sounds better.
