Begin configuration

Each time you boot, a window will be waiting for you, called "Initial Configuration Tasks". Start at the top:

- Windows should already be activated, so you can skip that one.
- You probably need to change your time zone...this is really important for computers on a domain, because they need to make sure they're getting current information.
- It's a good idea to change the computer name to whatever you're going to call it - something like DC01 (for Domain Controller). This will require a restart.
- Now, enable Automatic Updates, then check for and install any critical updates. I also installed all the optional updates that weren't a "best-practice checklist"...I'll come back to these later. This will likely require a restart as well.
