I am installing a Server Core VM to play with ... so it's back to the command line for setting this baby up!
I am going to use the server for network routing, ISATAP, etc... so it has been given 2 network interfaces. First step is to assign an IPV4 address to the first interface. Now you would assume that the first interface is the one called "Local Area Connection" ... however just to be sure running "ipconfig /all" will display the MAC addresses for each NIC ... then all you have to do is look for the MAC address for that NIC in the VM settings... if you set it to "Dynamic" it will be grayed out, but the address in the boxes below will be displayed.
Knowing what the adapter is called (in this case i is "Local Area Connection") I can run the following command to set the IP address, network mask, and default gateway:
netsh interface ipv4 set address "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.12 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1
... and to set the DNS server:
netsh interface ipv4 set dnsservers "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.10 primary
Next... using netdom to rename & join to the domain:
use "echo %computername%" to find out what the current computer name is, and then:
netdom renamecomputer currentcomputername /NewName newcomputername
then reboot.... "shutdown /r /t 0"
then to join to domain
netdom join computername /Domain:domain.name /UserD:administrator /PasswordD:* /reboot
Next steps will be setting it up to allow as much admin to be done remotely from a GUI.....
