Windows Server 2003 as a Domain Controller

I love it.

I downloaded the WS2003 180-day trial recently and installed it in VMware Server II. This afternoon, I painstakingly set up a DNS server and Active Directory, and recently got a Windows XP and a 98 client logging into the domain. Granted, I need to give each a static IP instead of using the router's DHCP server, but it connects to the network and the internet fine!

I've also set up a document/network drive system that works wonders. The X: drive is set to be the user's nice little chunk of the small 20GB virtual drive I'm using.

Now I just need to get a crapload of people using my server :P
