*********************************************************************************************
Configure Domain Controller and Active Directory for SQL Server Always On Availability Groups
***********************************************************************************************
To begin with, we require the following servers.
• Server 1: We require a server for configuring domain controller and active directory
• Server 2: Primary node in the SQL Server Always On Availability group
• Server 3: It acts as a Secondary node for SQL Server Always On Availability group

We prepared the following VMs for our demo purposes.
Server Name IP address Role
ADServer 192.168.61.161 Domain Controller and Active Directory
SQLNode1 192.168.61.162 Primary Node of SQL AG
SQLNode2 192.168.61.163 Secondary Node of SQL AG

In this article, we will explore the following topics.
• Domain controller, active directory and join servers (SQLNode1 and SQLNode2) in the configured domain
• Assign static IP’s for all virtual machines
• Disable firewall settings
• Validate and create a cluster

Prerequisites
• You should follow the article, be ready with the Powered on machines.
• You should get a basic knowledge of domain controller, active directory, IP configurations

Enable Domain Controller and Active Directory on a virtual machine for SQL Server Always On Availability Groups. Before enabling these features and roles, let’s briefly review their descriptions:
• Domain Controller: A domain controller serves all security authentication requests for a Windows Server domain. In an organization, each server is a member of the domain controller. We use a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) in the format [ServerName].[Domain] to connect with the server.

• DNS: Remembering the IP addresses of all servers can be challenging. For example, connecting to Chirags.in is more straightforward than memorizing its IP address. Associating names with IP addresses using DNS is a standard method.

• Active Directory: It is a container that includes organizational units for all users, their credentials, and groups. All users must authenticate themselves to access organizational resources.
