Hallo !
I red more than one books about how to set up a server.
Now I would like to do this on my own and I am confused about the
million cases.
In my books the examples are about lots of different things which
might or might not depend on each other. Therefore I could ask a second
question: Is there somewhere a document which says what depends on.
(For example to set up Active Directory, I need DNS Server.)

And this is the main question I spent already some days on it. While I
tried to set up DNS-Server, the errormessage is something like " The
DHCP-service does not offer any service for clients because the active
net components have no static configured IP-Adress. "
(Message number 1041, I use a German version)

But before I set my IP-adress on:

use following IP-Adress: 192.168.1.8
Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
and Standardgateway: 192.168.1.1

According to any tutorial "use the folowing DNS-Server: 127.0.0.1

Now I am wondering what else is nescessary for the Server.
Because this seemed to be a classical beginner problem I guess there
should be a simple tutorial for this case.

Thanks for your answer,
Joi

Not totally sure what you are asking but the one thing I see is:

> use following IP-Adress: 192.168.1.8
> Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
> and Standardgateway: 192.168.1.1

In your example you should use 192.168.1.8 *not* 127.0.0.1.

Hi
Assuming DNS AD Integrated Zone
-Make sure that each DNS server points to itself under NIC preferred DNS. If
the Server IP-Address is 192.168.0.1 then the preferred DNS should also be
192.168.0.1.

-When Adding Additional DCs to an existent Domain, and if you want to make
it a DNS server, Install DNS service, make sure that the server (the
additional DC) points to the existent DNS DC under NIC preferred DNS, then
run Dcpromo, wait or force replication (this can take a awhile), then check
on DNS console, and if the DNS zone is already transferred, then point the
additional DC to itself again.

- Clients: Make sure that the clients only use their local available DNS
server(s) on their NIC DNS configuration. Do not place the ISP DNS server or
any other DNS on the client or DNS Server NIC properties, this is a common
mistake. The clients should use their local DNS server to resolve all
queries. It's up to the local DNS server to handle the Internet resolution
as any other Zone that the DNS is not authoritative for. Check the link for
configuring DNS for Internet resolution.

Note: The DNS client does not utilize each of the DNS servers listed in
TCP/IP configuration for each query. By default, on startup the DNS client
will attempt to utilize the server in the Preferred DNS server entry. If
this server FAILS to respond for any reason, the DNS client will switch to
the server listed in the alternate DNS server entry. The DNS client will
continue to use this alternate DNS server.

Set the DC server to a static address don't use dhcp and make sure there is
only 1 nic card in your dc, DON'T use a multihomed server. When bringing up
the DC let AD create the DNS service for you on the same server as the DC.
Just following these two simple steps should get you on your way.
