Re: Root domain controller and network connectivity

I thought I was doing it wrong because I had enabled ICS before installing
the loopback adapter. So, I disabled ICS and uninstalled the loopback
adapter. And then I rebooted and installed the loopback adapter followed by
enabling ICS.
I'm still facing the same problem. The loopback adapter has limited
connectivity. How do I fix this.
Thanks.

If you installed ICS with the loopback adapter selected as the private.
interface, it should now be configured with an IP of 192.168.0.1/24. (This
config is done by ICS). It won't have connectivity with anything except a vm
which has its NIC set to use the loopback virtual network.

Hi Bill:
Before we get to the VM, the loopback adapter has to be configured
correctly, right? As of now, it has limited connectivity.
How do I assign the shared ICS connection to the loopback adapter?
Thanks.

If you have connected the vm to the loopback network it should get its
config automatically from ICS.
Having said that, a server OS is not a good ICS client. You could try to
manually configure the vm with a 192.168.0.x IP, 255.255.255.0 subnet
mask
and set 192.168.0.1 for the gateway and DNS address.

Bill:
All I want to do at this stage is complete the installation of Server
2003
by using it's Windows Update feature. For that, I need a connection to
the
Internet.
I'm not sure I want to make this a fully operational domain controller.
This
is something like trial software. I only want to use this as a
development
server. I have SBS 2003 which I will use for my live site.
Now, I have another problem. I installed the Microsoft Loopback Adapter
as
you suggested in your posting on the Virtual Server 2005 newsgroup. And
I
enabled ICS on the host like you said. Now, the loopback adapter has
limited
connectivity. How do I assign the shared ICS connection to the loopback
adapter? And should the loopback adapter get a new IP address
automatically
or should it have a static IP address?
Thanks.

do
and
can have unexpected results for the unwary.
For a start, forget about Internet connectivity for your domain
controller now. In fact I would recommend that you put it on the
internal
virtual network which has no Internet connection. Give your server a
static
IP in its own private IP subnet.
Now run dcpromo. Select the option to create a new DC in a new
domain
and new forest. Let dcpromo set up DNS and DHCP when it offers you the
option. If you want to check out how AD works, install a client OS in
another vm also connected to the internal network.
Giving a domain Internet access involves two things. Firstly you
need
a
routed connection to the Internet. Secondly, you need to modify the
local
DNS server to forward to a public DNS.

Hi:
I can't find a way to copy the output of ipconfig/all from the VM to
the
host's clipboard. How can I do this?
Thanks.

Hello JJ,
Please post an ipconfig /all from the VM and from the vista
machine.

Then why don't I have network connectivity? Here's my setup:
1. Windows Vista 64-bit on the bare metal.
2. Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 64-bit on top of Vista
3. Windows Server 2003 Std on top of a Virtual Server VM.
I have a virtual network configured in Virtual Server with my
active
NIC that has an Internet connection assigned to that virtual
network.
And that virtual network is assigned to the Server 2003 VM.
I just don't have network connectivity.
What am I doing wrong?
Thx.

Hello JJ,
During the 2003 first install you don't have to. The machine
will
be
installed with the server operating system and after that you
can
install the thinigs you like. A domain will be created when you
run
dcpromo from the run line and then it will ask you for the
domainname
etc.

During installation for Windows Server 2003 Std, do you have to
specify that Server 2003 should be joining a domain for network
connectivity to work? I don't have a domain. This installation
of
Server 2003 would be my root domain controller. Do I still have
to
specify the root domain as the domain for Server 2003 to join
during
installation for network connectivity to work?
My problem is that I did not specify a domain during
installation
and now there's no network connectivity.
Thanks.
