Import a Fresh Copy of Kali Linux into VMWare, but don't start it.

Once you have this VM imported into Kali, modify the network settings so that:

• It has one adapter that is in NAT mode
• It has one adapter on the same private VMNet as your Active Directory environment.
  • In Unit 1, we set up our Domain on VMNet5. (Yours may be different)

Power it on and log in.

Assign it an IP Address on the same subnet as your Domain

• We'll manually assign an IP Address to the VMNet5 adapter
• If you reboot Kali, you’ll have to re-assign the IP Address each time.

Type

ifconfig

You'll see two adapters:

• Eth0
• Eth1

One adapter will not have an IP Address. This is the adapter we need to configure so that it is on the same subnet as our Active Directory machines.

In Unit 1, when we set up our domain controller, we gave it an IP Address/Subnet Mask or 172.17.0.254/24

In my case, the Eth0 adapter is the one I need to give an available IP Address because it does not currently have one.

Type: (Again, verify you are configuring the correct adapter!)
