Hey there, I see you're facing a challenge with your servers. It sounds like you're trying to set up Active Directory on Server 2 using what Server 1 has. You've installed the AD DC but aren't sure how to configure it properly. Since you're still at the basics, it might help to review the setup steps carefully and double-check your domain configuration. Let me know if you need more guidance!

Did both computers come online at the same time? If not, power on just the one you want to install. If only the active one was on, turn both on again and try. I’m not very confident with this, but that’s what came to mind first.

You're using VirtualBox and both instances are active.

Active Directory servers must function as DNS servers, which means you need to set up the DNS role initially. After that, it allows you to install the Active Directory role.
