I need help setting up an active directory that will work when I place other xp workstations within the virtual network. I am currently in a 2003 server class, so I really do not know too much.

I was able so far to install server 2003 onto the wmware. I would like to add workstation clients that can log and use the server. But first I need to get the virtual active directory working.

I am not sure which DNS name to use. Since I am loaded onto a laptop that I take everywhere I do not have static IP address. I read somewhere about setting up the dns and settings to use this laptop as the local dns address.

So I need to know which dns name to use so that the virtual network clients will be able to use the virtual server.

Thank you,

Scott
