    For this first objective, I want to test your knowledge. I have already created two virtual machines and configured the peering required between two virtual networks. Unfortunately, they are not seeing each other yet. For this objective, please complete the following:

    • Set the DNS server of new-vm to the main-vm private IP address.

    In this objective, you will stage the Read-Only Domain Controller:

    1. Access Active Directory Administrative Center on main-vm.
    2. Pre-create a Read-Only Domain Controller account.
    3. Administration should be delegated to cloud_user.
  3. Challenge

    Promote the Read-Only Domain Controller

    In this final objective, you will promote the new-vm server as a Read-Only Domain Controller:

    1. Access the new-vm server.
