Active Directory Lab Setup

Joining Machines to the Domain ➕

This is the part where we actually connect our machines to our domain controller, thus completing the active directory setup

Networking

If you have 16 GB, you can set the workstation ram to 2 GB, the punisher and spiderman machines to 4 GB each and that will be sufficient:

Now for connectivity, click network and internet settings here:

Click Change adapter options:

Paste in the "Preferred DNS server" the IP of your domain controller

(If you still don't know how to get ip address, go to your domain controller machine, open cmd and type ipconfig and copy your ip address)

Go to the punisher machine and search for domain, click on the first option as shown below:

Click on connect, then click Join this device to a local Active Directory domain:

Name it MARVEL.local, if you're following the same naming scheme as us

Enter your administrator account and password same as the domain controller:

Select the account type as administrator and click next, then restart.

Back on the domain controller machine, Click Active Directory Users and Computers:

And here you can see that both of our machines now showup in the AD.

..and thats a wrap, congratulations.

You've set up your active directory lab that you can pentest with different tools.
