Join computers to Active Directory and profile setup

Computers already right now you can see those two computers are in the back doing the imaging but these are ready to be deployed right these are on work group work group meaning they're not managed right now they're not on a network domain basically we call a domain they're not connected to the domain controller so to do that we have to go in and go to the properties of the computer and tell this computer to connect it to job skills shared or domain you might be using some other domain for your company right to add these computer to domain and then you can manage things up but my suggestion to you this if you have a lab like this set up then I prefer don't even move it leave it there set up each user because it's going to be user-specific settings now this is where things can get tricky and that can be stressful when you unplug these computers put it back on their desk and do all this stuff unplugging plugging back bending down you know save yourself some time and if you don't have this ability all this lab like this and set up things somewhere else where you don't interact with the user still you're done with it so the first thing you should do is to connect these computers to domain and then each computer whoever you're giving this computer to set up every basic stuff over here like emails you know some one drive setup or any other setup that it's just normal basic set up for every user just do it here make it prepare that you don't have to deal with small things when you go to the desk order the only time you are going to be dealing with stuff is when you're transferring the files from that old computer to this new computer I'm gonna show you that first I'm going to show you how to join these computers to domain and at this point I can't show you my users because you might have different users so each like this is where you guys won't see that stuff I'm gonna go back and find who needed the computers get their usernames and I have temporary passwords and I'm gonna log in as them okay and each person each computer I'm gonna set it up and then I'm basically gonna do more after that but I'm going to show you guys how I joined computer to domain Active Directory we're gonna be adding it basically you have a server I'm not gonna basically go and explain this stuff because we have a course Active Directory users and management please take that on Java or but in for just too short the reality here that those computer that I just showed you I'm gonna add them to the active directory here and I'm not gonna add it from here I'm just gonna do it from that computer it will automatically add itself to the computer section right here your domain is going to be right here and then you'll have computers however your network engineer server um the set up this stuff you'll see computers over here or maybe if they have any other like you know a folder set up right here then they can go over there but as you can see when I add those computers they are going to automatically come over here and now they are network managed computers own domain they will be on the domain controller there will be added to the domain controller so that we can manage them from central place I on each computer I printed out the paper and on that paper I put a computer name username and temporary password because it's much easier sitting in front of computer you looking at the paper then logging in to the server going to the Active Directory finding out the username finding out the computer name whatever you I mean it's just kind of hard you know and you might not have that kind of access like that so this is what I did and then I basically go into this computer so let's say for example I want to change this computer from workgroup to domain controller and I want to add it to the extra directory all I gotta do is to turn around this computer and right now it's on the workgroup I'm gonna go cancel this and Here I am going to click on start and right click here and go to the properties as you guys can see right now that I remember when we were imaging we were naming these computers so there that's like a dummy name sorry about that no I can't even stop my video now all right sorry about that so I came now I basically click on changed here and when you do that here you can change it to domain you want to add it to extra directory click on change right here and this is where your domain controller will be added so if you put like Java Skillshare org when you click enter it's gonna ask you for a username and password this is where you put your domain administrator password you should have those rights so help that should have it at the admins or anyone and they will put that stuff in their username and password in there and then you will say welcome to whatever whatever domain this computer is a part of the main whatever is going to give you a message and then you restarted and that's it this computer is being managed from that Active Directory then alright so when I put my domain address like Java code shared organically entered then I get a prompt this is where you put a username and password I'm probably not gonna show that because of privacy reasons so I'm gonna click OK and then show you the message so here when you put the username and password welcome to Java Skillshare org domain and then you restart this computer and that's it and then after that you do the user base settings and I'm gonna show you that when I logged in as a user so you'll get this message you want to restore this machine will say yes and now this machine is getting restarted let's talk about something here now this could have been done even more you know better ways but start learn from basics I mean this is basics right here you could make this automated you can even go details and that's more advanced stuff like how much do you work on imaging how what is your job right here like is this your job is this what you do daily is this what you deal with daily if you are going to be doing this type of stuff every day then yes you need to learn more about imaging you need to be more using more advanced scripts and stuff like that so then you will automate a lot of process even this is a lot of automation going on over here but you have to look at your work or here like how much how much is this like is this your daily stuff if it's not if it's like me I have to do it like once in a while and I have to do it right away still I have a lot of automation going on but I prefer doing it this way also because then I know everything is working correctly so it's really up to you how much more advance you want to get into this stuff but this should be like you know basic stuff and everybody knows shouldn't know this stuff so then you and if you like things like your memory in our first video server didn't work for all those computers right there then we came to USB then it's all about solutions you know you should know these solution and you don't have to use these softwares because you're stuck you know company might not even allow some of the software's then you should know at least you should have this idea in your mind that you could do things like that to make it work easier once you're on domain connective directory you're this computer the power of the main now so then you will get this type of message it's not on a workgroup anymore this is being managed now so I put the username that the user name and the temporary password this user specific user that I'm working on right now and I'm logging in as that user right now and it should automatically log in because remember we didn't added this user over here it's on a domain it's being managed now so there you go it's long been at that user now we're going to set up that user email and how to do that you just basically go to email before that there could be some activations that you need to do with Microsoft Office so to do that I'm just gonna open word first and it will up it will activate my word for this user now so you'll get a message like this do you want to activate I'm gonna say next and it will go online and then say thank you and it's activated that's it now you might have some scripts running for printers we have that then that's not in this video we're not discussing that so it's up to your company so we're gonna say a printer for this person this department is using printer number seven I almost say yes and that makes that printer default for that person now I'm gonna set up email for this person and I'm just going to log in and to Outlook I look for the first time it's going to go and connect to office 365 and it's gonna be your ass for the same username and password the email and password will give that and it will just say ok let's get the emails to this computer alright so I'm gonna say welcome to and click Next and then when I click net it's gonna automatically pick the email from this profile I'm already logged in as a user so I'm gonna do next and do that process but after this it's basically just putting the username and password for this person so it already picked that username is on the top I can't show that like I said privacy reasons so I'm just gonna click Next now and it's basically establishing and it will ask for a username and password once it looks so as you guys can see it's it has a use it has an email and I'm gonna put the password the temporary password and then it will be connected to Outlook and there I hope we'll be ready to go so when you put the right password you'll see three checks in there and then you'll just say finish all right once you finish you clicked on finish and what's gonna happen it's gonna just do add-ons and first time and it will look for some things and bam everything will open up and it will download all the emails and that's it guys same process when you go to onedrive you'll just go to onedrive I'll show you that and the rest is just company based specific settings and then after this I'm going to show you how we're going to take this far now this is a basic setting for that user but this user is already having a computer out there now getting those files are from that computer putting into this one is another step and that's also it it makes life easier when you have everything's think like onedrive and things like that because then there's really not much on those computers it's just that favorites and things like that once you put that in this project is over alright I'll see you guys in that video this process for this is to get a USB plug it into the old computer right there and grab documents style ferrets wherever you think your users are saving documents on that machine right there and you probably would know when you start working where is your main places where they save so you could have one cloud type of backup like a onedrive or Dropbox and then the rest they put stuff in their documents desktops they go here and there but most of the time is just specific areas you know you won't be looking inside the computer C Drive this is just the policies you have to set for your user so you can really do that that's impossible if you have like 1,300 computers you can't just go in front of each computer and look into specific you know inside the C Drive and see if they user put something in there that's their job they will put it they'll put it in on the desktop or documents section so at least you can do some thing you can get their signature for out load documents desktop favorites you can you can help as much as you want but you should put a policy that what folders or am I gonna get from each computers and the rest you shouldn't be worried about that again this is up to companies then what you want to do is make sure the computer is properly shut down the old one grab that data put it in the USB and then you can use some kind of scripting now I actually had a script when I was doing this backup some stuff like that and I forgot to bring that USB with me so I basically I'm not gonna show that how to copy a document to this USB so that's what I'm doing I'm putting everything manually now in this from this computer only because I didn't bring that script for for this computer at this point right now so I don't have that then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna just plug this computer in there and remember why I say that sit down it's sitting down in one place and doing everything ahead of the time it's much better because then I could spend that I can create this computer 80 percent or 90 percent and make it totally ready when I get to this point where I have to do unplugging I'll have to do is to plug this computer in there and it's ready to go just put this stuff back onto this machine you don't have to worry about too much it gets stressful when you have too many machines because you doing the same thing here and there again anyone if you have scripts it doesn't matter what you do if you have that same thing again and again repetitively then you will get a little stressed with that so yeah that's this is the last thing that I want to share I really want to show you guys script but maybe later on another a little scenario I'll show you thank you for watching with this whole project I know it was a little longer so but you know we learned a few things let's just summarize quickly quickly so the first thing is mentally preparing yourself that you know week by week working on weekends would be a better thing for for coming days that's number one then we learned about images and how to do images in different ways server USB type of imaging then we said that what would be a best place to do imaging like you know sitting in a lab because you have more monitors and you work on it quickly and you prepare everything then we say we use papers to do kind of like you see where you're working on what you were working on and then the last we learned about the whole process like you know moving the data is another thing the whole thing was to just kind of like you know have you have yourself a process like some kind of process that you can follow for each computer like you know same way because if you don't have a process then you're just hitting if you have if you don't have process even if you have ten computers it's going to get your stress and imagine if you're working on more than three to four hundred computers and imagine if you're working on more than thousands type of computers then good luck because I what I would definitely think that there would be a company with thousand machines and that would help us some some department doing this whole thing but if I have actually seen people that had 70 to 80 computers and they're only one man IT people and trust me that's where things get really stressful so thank you for being with me I'll see you guys and all different videos this is Donna SH and be a part of the obstacle share that all you come and join me help other people or if you can help us don't be shy alright see you guys
