- The TCP/IP protocol
- An NTFS partition with enough free space
- A network connection (to a hub or to another computer via a crossover cable).

- The Windows 2000 Server (or Advanced Server) CD media (or at least the i386 folder)
This article assumes that all of the above requirements are fulfilled. See my Active Directory Installation Requirements page for more info.

- 2. When the Windows 2000 Configure Your Server page appears, select This is the only server in my network and click Next.
- 3.Click Next to configure the server as a domain controller and set up Active Directory, DHCP, and DNS.
- On the What do you want to name your domain page, type dpetri

- DHCP Scope: 10.0.0.3-10.0.0.254
- Preferred DNS Server: 127.0.0.1
- IP address: 10.10.1.1
