Procedure

Complete Project 2-1, as written
Complete these steps on both RWDCxx (ParentDC) and RWCDyy (ChildDC) servers

Complete Project 2-2, with the following exceptions (Use the RWDCxx (ParentDC) server)
-Step 1: This will be the parent domain controller.
		-Step 8: Rather than use domainxx.local use your lastname.local   IE) mcwilliam.local

Complete Project 2-3, as written. Use RWDCxx (ParentDC)

Complete Project 2-4, with the following exception
-Step 5- Create 2 accounts one for parent domain called lastnameadmin   ie) mcwilliamadmin and one called bobadmin

Complete Project 2-5, with the following exceptions (Use the RWDCyy ChildDC server)
-  This will be your child Domain Controller. Call your child domain your first name. Therefore your FQDN will be IE) firstname.lastname.local   ian.mcwilliam.local

-Part C- Call your child admin account yourfirstnameadmin. IE) ianadmin the name admin for your admin account

Complete Project 2-6, as written. (Use the ChildDC server RWDCyy)

Skip Project 2-7

Complete Project 2-8, complete only Part A on your server core installation.
	-You will be joining the Server core to the Parent domain.
