Grab a copy of the Windows 10 Template from Synced Files and open it in VMWare, but don’t start it.

• Copy it to your Virtual_Machines folder within Documents.

Once you have it open in VMWare, scale the RAM back and add a VMNET adapter on the same VMNET interface as the rest of your Domain.

• I’d suggest naming it ‘Windows_Domain_Client.’
  • We’ll save it once it’s ready so it can be redeployed in a fresh state.

Go to the ethernet properties for the adapter with the unidentified network and give it the following properties.

• IP Address: 172.17.0.3
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway: Blank
• DNS: 172.17.0.254

Find ‘Computer Name’ under ‘Advanced System Properties’ and click ‘Change.’

Change the following:

• Computer name: CLIENT2
• Domain: <Whatever_Your_Domain_is>

Enter your domain administrator credentials when prompted, and you should see the following message.
