Server 2019 ADDS

Hi guys,

got a couple of computers that need replacing. Currently the computers require username/password to login to a domain on startup. There is a desktop server running Server 2019 in the office.

I presume it's a case of logging in as the local admin on the new units then connecting to the domain (Switching over from the Workgroup)?

Would I then need to setup the network shares again or will that be done already through the user settings on the active directory?

On a base level yeah that is all thats required, you just need to ensure the account joining the computer to the domain has the correct level of access at the domain level


The homedrive and any user profiles will automatically connect/sync if the user is setup with them in active directory, otherwise any other share would likely be handled by Group policy or manually assigned.

I hope that helps

Thank you.


Will start up the current computers to see exactly how they are setup. Got the reception ones to do first before the doctors computers.


It's actually for a small medical center. Found out yesterday it's Server 2019 running on hyper-v which hosts the medical records. There's 2 virtual guests. One is for the AD and the other is the medical software.
