What are you looking for?

I am a professional IT widget. If I cannot answer, I can do research.

By default it's not installed so you need to do that first. Once that's done you'll find in Administrative Tools :

I am trying to do it with Windows server 2012 r2


RE: Looking for help with Active Directory - Alestone - 02-23-2015

Are you trying to create a new forest/domain? If so, which server version are you using?

Active Directory cannot be installed on a workstation version of Windows. The management tools can, but the actual Active Directory structure has to be installed on a server.


RE: Looking for help with Active Directory - Freeroamer - 02-23-2015

As far as I know I have the enterprise version

Yes I know that you need a server to do that..
I just cant figure out how to create the domain in Server 2012 R2
