## **Initial Requirements**
To begin this tutorial you will need to complete the previous tutorial on DNS. where we setup an A entry pointing to the server's private IP:

As you can see here, having a DNS service is required to install the Active Directory.

Now you see the whole point, so let's setup our AD correctly by promoting our server to domain controller but before we do so, let's add another A record that points to the server as the root domain:

Then just hit next at everything and hit install at the end and let windows server reboot
