  3. Determine the NIC ID: netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces.
  4. Set the IP address for NIC, let say for NIC #2: netsh interface ipv4 set address name=”2? source=static address=192.168.1.3 mask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.1.1.
  5. Set the DNS: netsh interface ipv4 add dnsserver name=”2? address=192.168.1.2 index=1.
  6. Rename server: netdom renamecomputer %computername% /NewName:HyperSvr1.
  7. Reboot for that to take effect: shutdown /r /t 0.
  8. Join it to domain: netdom join %computername% /domain:admininfo.local /userd:administrator /passwordd:*.
  9. Reboot for that to take effect: shutdown /r /t 0.
  10. Copy CoreConfigurator onto the Core server and configured any users, groups, enabled RDP, firewall settings, etc…
