Re: Looking for a step by step guide on setting up AD

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

the thing you are asking probably does not exist. if it exist it may be company specific

first of all you start with a design, then test and implement

your way to go (very short version):
start understanding/learning about AD using books/white papers
create a design
implement/roll-out

if you do not understand what you are doing, you might as well not do it

Hi,

Can anyone please recommend me a step by step walkthrough on setting up a Domain Controller and Active Directory on Windows Server 2003 ?
I've found lots of articles, white papers and blog posts on AD, but not the kind of thorough, one-stop, step-by-step guide that explains how to carry out a professional setup of Active Directory in a corporate environment. Does that document exist ?

Thanks.
Fernando
