Active Directory in Virtual Box

[MatzeB]

Hey Guys,

I hope you can help me. I would like to set up an Active Directory on my local computer with DCHP and DNS, but I don' know which configurations I have to use.
Should I use NAT oder Host-only Adapter?

I would be very pleased if you can help me!

Best regards

Matthias

Thank you for the answer,

but I don't know how I have to set my configurations regarding the network in virtual box. I have to use a private network? How can I get a static IP for the Server and for the clients?

Best regards

Matthias

For specific instructions on how to set up active directory you would need to go to Microsoft active directory forum.

I agree. A far as VirtualBox is concerned, Perry has given you all the info you need. You then proceed in exactly the same way as you would with physical machines on a physical switch. Any instructions to set up AD apply to both physical or virtual machines and networks.
