Hi, Im new to this forum and Win Server 2008, Recently I watched a video on how to make a domain and he said to install Active Directory Domain Servies which I did and open dcpromo.exe etc

(yes I made a static ip)

Heres what I did:

1. Install WIN Server 2008 Enterprise

2. Installed internet

3. Installed Desktop Exprience

4. Installed Active Directory Domain Services

5. Made a static IP and opened dcpromo.exe

6. Made a new forest and Installed DNS server

7. Booted up my other laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate and went to Start -> Computer -> Right click -> Properties -> Change Settings and entered my domain name and it asked to enter a username and password (I already made two) and I get the error.

Please no complicated respones, guided ones would be really helpful.
 
didnt work I tried to enter it but the stupid error came up again. Im on wireless home network if that helps, could you tell if I did anything wrong?

I did the same you said

Username: Saad@ARSHAD.local

Password: *********

still not working. "Saad" is a normal user not administrator

Could you tell me what Im doing wrong?
 
I changed "Saad" to an Administrator but still no avail it didn't work. I went to Start -> User Account -> and It came up with a windows listed with the Administrator account so I went to add and typed Saad and set the level to Administrator but it didnt work. I has been 4 days and I cant make the domain. In Server Manager the DNS server has turned to an i but the Domain Services is a triangle with a ! in it.
 
Saad is a member of DOMAIN ADMIN?

What does: "In Server Manager the DNS server has turned to an i but the Domain Services is a triangle with a ! in it." mean?

Can you post a screen shot?
