 Domain

• A domain is a kind of network that allows you to login to your user

from any computer on the network.
• The network has to contain at least one computer running
Windows Server and the rest of them running Pro or Enterprise
Windows versions.

6
Useful Cases:
• A small office with no fixed computer for each employee.
• Even if they have fixed computers, you can watch their work and
give different permissions to each of them from your server.
• A big company with a number of computer less than number of
employees.
• Universities and schools.
• So, you can simply sit on any computer, login with your
username and password, submit your work and logout again.

7
Give IPv4 DNS Server address

8
And now, all you need to join the domain is:
• The domain name
• A username
• A password
• The server’s IP (That’s to make the connection more reliable)

Your domain administrator is the one responsible of creating a user on

the server computer and give you all the previous information.

know what to pick just leave it as it is).

22
Restart your computer now or later, it’s up to you, but it won’t take effect until you perform a
restart.

23
The first thing you’ll notice once your restart is complete is that your lock screen will look a little
different. Enter your domain user’s password.

24
In some cases, you’ll be asked to change your password immediately, it’s a feature your server administrator might have set. Otherwise, you may ask your server administrator to change your password when you need
to.
You will have to be a little patient and wait while everything gets ready, it’s like you’re on a new computer, but every change you’ll make from now on will be saved to this domain user and accessible from any other
computer on the domain using your credentials.

25
Now you’re logged in, go to your Settings -> System -> About, you’ll see that your computer is
registered on the domain now.
