Configure a domain on windows server 2003

This is my first time working on a server, and yesterday we received our server so i tried to create a domain. I let it auto config the first time, then when i tired to setup a vista computer to connect to the domain it couldn't find it.
So i went to Microsoft's site and they gave me the instrustions for a manual install (could have used more detail), after that the vista computer found the domain and it prompted me to a username and password, but after a minute or so it would give an error stating that the domain name was not a valid format. Right now the DCHP, DNS, Active Directory, all roles are uninstalled that way i can do it fresh again.

We don't want to host the website on the server and currently the server is plugged into a switch and all ips for every computer is assigned by the router.

I need help on how to figure this out.

If more information is needed please ask.

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone seen this problem, or does anyone have suggestions on how to solve the issue? The DB2 instance is...

Environment: W2K SP3 and .NET 1.1 I'm trying to set my machine up to do some Web-form development but am unable to successfully configure the IIS Extensions. When I click Finish at the end of the Wizard I get a dialog telling me "Cannot create folder "_vti_pvt'". I suspect it may be a permissions problem, but even if it is I don't know how to fix it. On the 'Create Windows Groups' page of the Wizard I've both specified 'Create local...

How do I set up access to a file on a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller that also has IIS? The file sits on another server. The Domain Controller / IIS server connects to this file through a share. Domain controllers have no local users so ASPNET user is not available. Microsoft states, "On Windows 2003 domain controller servers, ASP.NET applications run under the NETWORK SERVICE identity (regardless of the IIS isolation mode)....

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
