You do this using the router you mentioned. So, the first thing you HAVE to do is isolate yourself from the school network. I'm sure your tech team will love that! :)
If you hook things up wrong, as it sounds like you may have, you're not just going to not have a working system, you are going to take down the entire school network. The first thing it sounds like you are doing wrong is that you are trying to use the same networking addresses as your school's network. I'm also assuming a default configuration on the router and server. They should be clean Windows systems that are being joined to your new server and Windows domain. You cannot accomplish what you are trying to do, if the laptops are part of your school's domain or remain connected to your schools network.

I also am assuming that you have full control of the laptops and the server. The information you provided doesn't give me a clear picture of what we are working with. And truth be known, this type of information is abundantly available on the internet for you to research and learn, which may be more effective than trying to do this with a single post on the internet.

I'm going to try to describe how to do this the proper way, but this will probably be a little bit like drinking from a fire hose. You are talking about networking, windows domains, server management, etc. But, you are biting off a big task if you have little experience. The scope I setup in DHCP on the laptop server is 192.168.3.190 - 192.168.3.220 with the same subnet mask as the school one which is 255.255.255.0.Īny help or assistance will be greatly appreciated!!įirst of all, I appreciate your desire to learn and wish you all the best. So i tried to add the computer to the domain, IT WORKED!! YAY.īut, We need an internet connection and I don't know whether I've screwed anything up or whether anyone could offer some support or an alternative setup I could use. The only issue was that it couldn't establish an internet connection. The routers ip address is now 192.168.3.188.Īfter I made these changes, I connected one of the classroom laptops to the WiFi network of the router and it connected. As our school has a massive ip address scope setup, I had a look at the ip address the school system assigned to the laptop server, it was 192.168.3.187 so I decided to stay on that scope to prevent any mix ups. It connects to the internet normally just acting as another device itself. So therefore, I installed a router with it's WAN port connected to the building distribution switch. I thought this was due to a second domain being on the same network or maybe the laptops weren't on the same ip address scope.
However, On any of the laptops in our classroom, they can't seem to find the domain when I search to add it in settings. I tried to connect the server to the normal school network through the building distribution switch and the server itself got internet connection while keeping its static ip address I set. I have installed Active Directory and DHCP so far on the laptop server.

We don't want to use the school domain because it restricts access to things and we'd need the password for installing software, etc. Our class teacher is wanting to setup a domain just for the users in our class. I have installed Microsoft Windows Server 2012 r2 on a spare laptop. Our school has all of there servers, etc.
