- TITLE :Installation Sequence for TCP/IP Routed Advanced Server Domain
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SUMMARY
- =======
-
- Whenever a new Windows NT Advanced Server is installed in a routed NetBIOS
- domain environment, with the Advanced Server Primary Domain Controller
- (PDC) located on another subnet you must follow the guidelines that follow
- to ensure the new Domain Controller can properly validate itself onto the
- Advanced Server PDC.
-
- ==========================================================================
- If a Windows NT Advanced Server PDC can't be located during the
- installation procedure, complete reinstallation is needed, because the
- Domain SIDs won't match
- ==========================================================================
-
-
- 1. LMHOSTS File Creation
-
- Create a "ready-to-run" LMHOSTS file containing at least the "NetBIOS
- name to IP Address" entry for the Windows NT Advanced Server PDC on a
- disk using the above mentioned predefined values.
-
- 2. Add Computer to Domain
-
- Define the workstation name for this new Advanced Server DC on the
- Advanced Server Primary Domain Controller by using the Control Panel
- Applet Server Manager in the Add Computer To Domain dialog box.
-
- 3. Start Installation of Windows NT Advanced Server
-
- Run the Advanced Server installation by using the network install
- procedure (WINNT.EXE) or the CD-ROM installation procedure with
- inserting the boot disk in drive A, until the network adapter
- configuration appears.
-
- 4. Add Adapter...
-
- During the initial installation of the new Advanced Server Domain
- Controller, the setup program scans for an available adapter. By
- default, the setup installs only the first adapter recognized. If
- multiple adapters have been installed, ensure the default adapter can be
- used to access the Advanced Server PDC. Otherwise, install any
- additional Adapter Card driver by using the Add Adapter button at this
- time.
-
- 5. Add Software...
-
- By default, only the NetBEUI protocol is installed; therefore, enter
- "Add Software ..." and select TCP/IP Protocol as the Network Software to
- install.
-
- 6. Configure...
-
- In the Installed Network Software dialog box, select the TCP/IP Protocol
- and use the Configure button to define the proper values for the IP
- Address(es), Subnet Mask and Default Gateway per adapter. Be sure you
- select the right adapter in the Adapter box to define those settings.
- Warning, only one adapter can support NetBIOS over TCP/IP. To eliminate
- any conflicts, install only the TCP/IP setting in this dialog box for
- the adapter needed to connect to the Advanced Server PDC.
-
- 7. Import LMHOSTS...
-
- Select the Import LMHOSTS option and import the "ready-to-run" LMHOSTS
- file created during the first step before you choose the OK button to
- continue the installation.
-
- 8. Return to Network Settings Dialog Box
-
- When you choose the OK button, you will be returned to the Network
- Setting dialog box
-
- 9. Leave Network Setting Pressing OK
-
- Be sure to have the above eight points checked before you choose OK in
- the Network Settings dialog box, because there is no way back from this
- point.
-
- 10. Define Computer Name and Domain
-
- Define the proper Computer Name added to the domain at point 2 and
- select the domain name into which this new Domain Controller will
- participate.
-
- 11. Validate onto Windows NT Advanced Server Primary Domain Controller
-
- If you continue from this point, the Advanced Server server will try to
- connect to the Advanced Server PDC to be validated, and synchronize the
- domain SIDs. If this fails into an error, check all network hardware
- including the routers and repeat to find the Advanced Server PDC. If at
- this point the connection fails, and you continue without connecting to
- the server, domain synchronization will fail and a full installation
- from point 3 is needed.
-
- Additional information on how to create a LMHOSTS file is available in
- chapter 19 of the Windows NT Resource Guide, Volume 1.
