Help needed installing Server 2008 & Windows 7!

Hi. I am currently doing a module on virtualisation at college and have been given an assignment that requires me to do this.



Install windows 2008 Server

Install Active Directory Services

Install DHCP

Install and configure a windows 7 client

Configure client to access the server AD services and Domain

Configure Group policy on server and replicate the policy to theclient

Install Exchange Email services

Configure Client to send E-mail via MS Outlook.



I have the first two done, and was just wondering if anyone here could point me in the direction of some videos or tutorials that could help me? I've been on youtube for hours but can't find anything helpful. I know the server should have a static IP but the windows client will never connect to it!



Thanks in advance for any help

Sarah

The easiest and for most the best way to use and test Windows domains in VirtualBox
Setup Windows Domain in VirtualBox

This will keep your domain away from your local LAN and make it easier. For the rest you would need to ask the Windows Domain forums. They will help with the actual configuration of the domain.

I also found this link to be most helpful if going down the PFSense route.
