Step 1: Setting up the CP&L Enterprises Domain

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2

Before you create the AD RMS licensing-only cluster, you need to configure and add two servers to the infrastructure of the CPANDL domain. In this step, you will perform the following tasks:

  • Add the AD RMS Licensing-only Cluster Server (CPANDL-ADRMSLIC) to the cpandl.com domain

  • Add the AD RMS licensing-only cluster database server (CPANDL-LICDB) to the cpandl.com domain

This step assumes that you have completed the Windows Server Active Directory Rights Management Services Step-by-Step Guide (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=72134).

Use the following table as a reference when setting up the appropriate computer names, operating systems, and network settings that are required to complete the steps in this guide.

Important

Before you configure your computers with static Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, we recommend that you first complete Windows product activation while each of your computers still has Internet connectivity. You should also install any available critical security updates from Windows Update (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=47290).

Add the AD RMS Licensing-only Cluster Server (CPANDL-ADRMSLIC) to the cpandl.com domain

To configure the member server, CPANDL-ADRMSLIC, you must install Windows Server 2008, configure TCP/IP properties, and then join CPANDL-ADRMSLIC to the cpandl.com domain. You must also add the ADRMSADMIN account to the local administrators group so that an administrator can use the ADRMSADMIN account to install AD RMS on CPANDL-ADRMSLIC.

First, install Windows Server 2008 as a stand-alone server.

To install Windows Server 2008
