    • 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.
