domain. Click Next. The utility confirms that the name is not already being used.
10. Don’t change any options on the next screen.
11. Type in the DSRM password Pa$$w0rd twice. It meets the complexity requirements for passwords. It
is extremely important that this password is kept secure because it is for the Directory Services Restore

13. Leave the NETBIOS name alone and click Next.
14. Leave the location of all folders. Click Next.
15. Review the information, click Next.

nothing to prevent the installation of AD. Click on Install.

been reports of several hours. So chill out and come back to this lab when it’s done.
