Ticket 5 for setting up Active Directory says: We have decided it is in our best interest to host a DNS service simultaneously on our Windows domain controller server. Our network needs to be configured to use this new DNS service. Update our network settings to point to that server. Use Schools default DNS as an alternate server. We need to find a way to push our DHCP clients on our Wi-Fi and wired LAN to our internal DNS server. This change will need to take place on the Turris router.
Now I predict that at least part of the last bit of instructions will not be done in this particular case because there is already an AD in place that everyone uses in class and I am only doing this to familiarize myself AD and get so I could set this up if I had to. Doug may have me switch everything over to this new system later but right now Doug is unavailable and I have to do this outside of class, and this ticket has to be done in order to unlock the next ticket.
I went back into my WinServ AD VM > went to the Server Manager > went on the Dashboard to Add Roles and Features > chose Role Based or Feature Based Installation > Under Select a server from the server pool, I selected my Domain Controller which had the same IP as my WinServ VM, now it wanted me to select DNS Server so it can be installed but it already was installed. I had no recollection of doing this but I cancelled the installation process and clicked on the side panel of the Server Manager on the DNS Server under my AD DS and AD LDS Servers I had also created in previous tickets.Now I have found that after using ChatGPT on numerous occasions, it is helpful to have two tabs of it open, one to read the instructions it initially gives you and you can stay scrolled to that section of the chat and return as needed to adhere to the instructions, and then when you have furtherr questions, you go to the second tab and just explain what your doing and what your question is. I have been plagued on numerous occasions by losing my spot and having to spend a great deal of time going back through the conversation to find where I left off in the instructions, often getting lost again because I see another thing that I want an answer on, losing track of what I was even doing in the first place, and totally forgetting where I had left off, and then I ask more questions and eventually ask ChatGPT where I am in the instructions if I am stuck at this point and then it rehashes all of the instructions again, which I then have to comb through. And then I'd be further frustrated and confused when every time I had a further question about something and didn't want to lose my spot, I had to go through this whole process again.
So I find that if you are particularly curious, things catch your eye, you get lost easy, or you need clarification on anything before moving forward, etc., just have a second tab open of ChatGPT so that you can keep your instructions where you left off.
So I went to my second tab and asked ChatGPT in the process of setting Active Directory and having installed DNS from Roles and Features (to give context so it doesn't think you're doing something unrelated like setting up a Pi Hole DNS for example), what am I checking for when I am clicking on the DNS server to make sure it was installed properly?
It instructed me to go Tools > DNS (to open the DNS Server Console) > confirm that it is listed in the DNS Manager Console > expand it > go Forward Lookup Zones > Ensure there's a zone for Active Directory Domain such as domain.local or whatever you had named it. There were also other instructions. Basically, it has been installed properly. I can move on. Now, once here, you don't actually need to close the DNS Server Manager because actually, the instructions from tab one ChatGPT are going to have you go to Forward Lookup Zones and go Action > click New Zones > select Primary Zones and Allow it to be stored in Active Directory, next >
