In the previous article, we described how to create a child domain using the Server Manager console. In this article, we will show you how to do the same thing using Windows PowerShell. PowerShell is a powerful tool that can be used to automate many tasks in Windows Server. It is also a great way to create child domains, as it can save you time and effort.

To install AD DS and create a forest, you can follow the instructions in the article “Install Active Directory On Windows Server 2022 Using PowerShell“.

Steps to Create a Child Domain Using PowerShell

The creation and configuration of a child domain is part of the post-installation process of Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). This process also includes promoting the server to a domain controller. First, the AD DS role must be added to the server. Once the role is added, you can create and add a child domain to the parent domain.

Add AD DS Role Using Windows PowerShell

Follow the steps below to add the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).

1. Open Windows PowerShell as administrator.
   • If you are working with Windows Server Desktop Experience, right-click on Windows PowerShell in the Start Menu and select Run as Administrator.
   • If you are working with Windows Server core, run powershell the command in the command prompt. It opens PowerShell. Once the PowerShell is opened, use Start-Process PowerShell -Verb runAs to open it as administrator.

2. Before installing the AD DS role, let’s first see if it is available. To do so, run Get-WindowsFeature AD-Domain-Services. As shown in the below command, it is not already installed and it is available.

3. To install the AD DS role, run the Install-WindowsFeature AD-Domain-Services -IncludeManagementTools command. Wait for a moment until it finishes the installation, and it will show the result as shown in the picture below.

The Active Directory Domain Service role is by now added to our Server. You can verify it using the Get-Windows-Feature AD-Domain-Services command. If it is properly installed, It will not be available for installation anymore. Now, in the second section, let’s go through the steps to creating and configuring a Child Domain using Windows Powershell in Server 2022.

Create a Child Domain Using Windows PowerShell

Now that we have the AD DS role added, we can create and configure a Child Domain using PowerShell in the AD DS post-installation process. Below are the steps.

1. Import AD DS module. To do so, run the Import-Module ADDSDeployment command.

2. Provide the credential to specify the user name and password of an admin used to accomplish this configuration. Use it only if you are not logged in with administrative privilege. To do so, use the Get-credential cmdlet and fill the pop-up window with an administrator’s username and password.

3. To create a Child Domain, use the Install-ADDSDomain cmdlet followed by the following mandatory arguments and their values.
   • -DomainType followed by the “ChildDomain” value.
   • -NewDomainName followed by the single-labeled (left-most part of a domain) child domain name which is “ca” in our example.
   • –ParentDomainName followed by the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the parent which is “technig.lab” in our example.

Note: the above arguments are the mandatory arguments that we must specify when we create a Child Domain. For more optional parameters click HERE.

So, considering the cmdlet and the required arguments, our whole line of code becomes: Install-ADDSDomain -DomainType ChildDomain -NewDomainName ca -ParentDomainName technig.lab

4. Now, it prompts us to specify the safe mode administrator password. Enter the password and confirm it. Then, type down Y and press enter. Wait for a while until it finishes the Child Domain installation and configuration process. Once the process completes, it will restart the machine.

Once the machine restarts, the Child Domain is created on it. To this end, we are all done with the child domain configuration.

Steps on how to create a child domain in Server 2022 using PowerShell:

1. Open PowerShell as an administrator.
2. Run the following command to install the ADDSDeployment module:

Install-Module ADDSDeployment

3. Create a variable to store the parent domain name and the child domain name. For example:

$parentDomainName = "technig.com"
$childDomainName = "lab.technig.com"

4. Run the following command to create the child domain:

Install-ADDSDomain -NewDomainName $childDomainName -ParentDomainName $parentDomainName

5. Enter the SafeModeAdministratorPassword when prompted.
6. The child domain will be created.

Here is an explanation of the command:

• Install-ADDSDomain is the PowerShell cmdlet that creates an Active Directory domain.
• -NewDomainName specifies the name of the child domain.
• -ParentDomainName specifies the name of the parent domain.
• -SafeModeAdministratorPassword specifies the password for the Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM).

Here are some additional details that might be helpful for a beginner:

• The child domain name must be a single-label domain name.
• The child domain name must not already exist.
• The parent domain name must be a valid domain name.
• The SafeModeAdministratorPassword must be a strong password.

Summary

In this article, we installed the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) role on a Windows Server 2022 server using PowerShell. We then created a child domain using PowerShell cmdlets. The steps involved in creating a child domain using PowerShell are as follows:

• Install the ADDSDeployment module.
• Create variables to store the parent domain name and the child domain name.
• Run the Install-ADDSDomain cmdlet to create the child domain.
• Enter the SafeModeAdministratorPassword when prompted.

PowerShell Remoting allows you to manage a remote computer from your local computer. You type commands on your local computer, and the changes are made on the remote computer. When you set up a PowerShell Remoting connection, you can execute commands remotely, and the changes will be made on the remote computer. The remote computer is the computer that you want to manage, and your local computer is the computer that you are using to manage the remote computer.

Here are some important points to keep in mind before setting up a PowerShell Remoting connection:

1. Both the local and remote computers must be in the same domain or workgroup. This is because PowerShell Remoting uses Windows Remote Management (WinRM), which is a feature of Active Directory.
2. Both computers must have PowerShell installed. PowerShell is a command-line shell and scripting language that is included with Windows.
3. AD-DS, DHCP, and DNS servers must be configured and running on your network. These servers are used by WinRM to authenticate users and resolve hostnames.
4. The IP address configuration on both computers must be correct. The remote computer’s IP address must be reachable from the local computer.
5. The network adapter connection type for all network adapters on both computers must be set to Private. If any of the network adapters are set to Public, you will receive an error when you try to connect to the remote computer.

Create PowerShell Remoting Sessions

Follow the steps below to set up a PowerShell Remoting connection.

1. Enable Powershell remoting on the remote computer by running the Enable-PSRemoting command.

2. Set up a remote connection by typing the Enter-PSSession -ComputerName [Name of the computer] command in the local computer. The name of the machine that you are connected to will add at the beginning of commands to show that you are running commands on that particular machine.

3. If you want to create multiple sessions, use the command New-PSSession [Computer Name]. Instead of [Computer Name] use the computer name of your own machine.

4. To see the list of created PowerShell sessions, type the command Get-PSSessions. As you can see, I have one PowerShell session in the list and it is available for connection.

5. Type the command Get-Command -Noun PSSession to see the list of PowerShell Remoting session commands.

You don’t have to use PowerShell Remoting for commands that have computer name parameters. You can execute commands that have computer name parameters on the target computer without setting up a PowerShell Remoting session.

PowerShell Remoting is much faster than other remoting tools because it uses commands and scripts to manage the target computer. You can create multiple remoting sessions without loading much on the CPU.

Check out this article to know more about PowerShell Remoting.

Opening PowerShell as an administrator will give you the ability to execute scripts with administrative rights. To speed up your skills, you have to know how to run PowerShell as an Administrator in different ways, especially if you are using Windows Server 2022. For example, you are running commands in Command Prompt, and you need to open PowerShell. You should be able to open PowerShell directly from Command Prompt instead of minimizing Command Prompt and opening PowerShell in another way.

Run PowerShell as Administrator From Graphical User Interface

The Windows Server 2022 comes with two major types, Desktop Experience, and Core versions. The Desktop Experience editions will allow you to do tasks in a graphical environment, but using the core versions, you have to run PowerShell, and CMD commands.

Start Menu: to open PowerShell with administrative capabilities from the start menu, click on the Windows icon or press the Windows key. Right-click on Windows PowerShell, then click on Run as administrator.

Search Bar: if for any reason you unpin PowerShell from the Start menu, you can open it from the windows search bar. Type Windows PowerShell in the search bar, right-click on it, then click on Run as administrator.

Windows Run: press Win+R to open the Run, type PowerShell in it, then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter.

It is easy to run PowerShell using GUI tools, but sometimes you are not in the graphical interface. A good example is Windows Server core editions. You must know how to run PowerShell from the command line interface.

Click on this article to learn how to replace PowerShell with cmd in Windows 10?

Run Powershell as Administrator From Command Line Interface

In non-GUI windows operating systems, you will have to use Command Prompt and PowerShell to do tasks. There is no Run or Start menu to open PowerShell. You will use Command Prompt.

Command Prompt: Open Command Prompt, type PowerShell, and press Enter key. The PS will be added at the beginning of your commands. It means you have opened PowerShell but not as an administrator. Execute the Start-Process PowerShell -Verb runAs command. Enter a username and password with administrative access.

PowerShell: if you opened PowerShell on your computer and want to open it as administrator. Just execute the Start-Process PowerShell -Verb runAs command, then enter the administrator user name and password.

The ability to work in both GUI and CLI is important for everyone using Windows Server. I hope that I can cover every detail about how to run PowerShell as an administrator in Windows Server 2022.

PowerShell offers a quick way to manage computers remotely through scripting and cmdlets. You can enable Windows PowerShell Remoting to manage multiple computers remotely in Windows 11 and other latest windows.

While setting up a remote connection between computers, Windows Firewall blocks the request to the remote computer, so you have to allow the firewall features related to remote management in the Windows Firewall. Go to Control Panel, System and Security, Windows Defender Firewall, and click on Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall.

In order to be able to set up PowerShell remoting in Windows 11, allow the following features in the Windows Defender Firewall.

1. Remote Desktop
2. Remote Assistance
3. Remote Event Log Management
4. Remote Event Monitor
5. Remote Scheduled Tasks Management
6. Remote Service Management
7. Remote Shut-down
8. Remote Volume Management
9. Virtual Machine Monitoring
10. Windows Firewall Remote Management
11. Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
12. Windows Remote Management
13. Windows Remote Management (Compatibility)

It looks a long way and has a lot of things to configure. The quick way is to enable it through PowerShell. Open PowerShell as administrator and then type Enable-PSRemoting. If this command does not run successfully, then you have to allow the features mentioned above manually.

Sometimes you will receive an error message. If your computer’s network adapter is set up for a public network, then you have to change the connection type to private.

For more about PowerShell remoting, click here.

Change Network Profile Type Using PowerShell

To change the network profile type from public network to private network using PowerShell, follow the steps below.

4. When you type a command in PowerShell, and it runs without any error, then it means that the configuration is successful. To make sure that the Network type changed from Public to Private, type Get-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex 15command.

Now that the connection type changed from public to private try to enable PowerShell remoting.

PowerShell is a great tool to configure windows settings locally or remotely because there is no Graphical User Interface (GUI) involved, and it runs the command quickly. Another advantage of PowerShell is that you can manage multiple remote computers at the same time, and run one command on multiple computers.

We have published a step by step guide on how to install and configure DHCP in Server 2022 using Server Manager. This article, in turn, covers an easy and step by step guide on how to install and configure DHCP in Server 2022 using Windows PowerShell. Using PowerShell to perform such technical tasks is always a preferred alternative for IT pros. Besides other benefits, using Powershell takes us less time to complete the tasks. It is, of course, a professional way to accomplish almost any task in Windows Server operating systems.

Steps to Install and Configure DHCP Using PowerShell

Generally, the process of DHCP installation and configuration in Windows Server encompasses three tasks: installing the DHCP capability and its management tools, adding security groups, and authorizing DHCP in Active Directory. Let’s dive into the steps.

• Open the PowerShell from the Start Menu. See the picture below. You can also open it from Run usingpowershellcommand in the Run dialogue box.

• Before straightly going to the DHCP installation command, run theGet-WindowsFeaturecommand. This command lists all the features available in Windows Server 2022. It shows the name and installation state of those features. As the picture below shows, we have the DHCP feature available to install.

• To install DHCP and its management tools, run the commandInstall-WindowsFeature DHCP -IncludeManagementTools.Wait for a while till it finishes the installation, and you will see the details upon successful installation.

• Now, run thenetsh DHCP add SecurityGroupscommand to add the DHCP local security groups.

• The next step is to authorize the DHCP server to the Active Directory. To do so, use the command Add-DhcpServerInDC -DnsName ServerName.DomainName.Use your DHCP server name instead of the ServerName and your domain name instead of the DomainName in the above command. In my case, technigDC is the DHCP server name, and Technig.com is the domain name, as shown in the below picture.

• At this point, we are all done with our DHCP installation and configuration. We can view the authorized DHCP servers in Active Directory usingGet-DhcpServerInDCcommand.

That is all with DHCP installation and configuration using Windows PowerShell. That simple, it is installed and authorized.

Summary

Using Windows PowerShell is a professional way of completing configuration tasks on Windows OSs, including Windows Server 2022. Throughout this article, we explained how we can install and configure DHCP on Windows Server 2022 using the PowerShell tool. We saw that we can easily do it using a few simple command lines.

In the end, I hope you found this article helpful. Feel free to put your related questions in the comment section below.

As a developer or web designer, we use NPM almost more than 5 times on average per day. Sometimes, it takes a long time to install a package. Even more than 5 minutes or more. Besides, you watch some people on tutorials who install a package in 5 seconds. How they do that? If you want to make NPM install Work 20 times faster, this tutorial will help you.

Why NPM install is Too Slow?

Before we make NPM work faster, we should know what are the reasons why NPM install is too Slow. Well, there are many reasons. We just mention a few of them. So, if you are using Mac, it’s faster than the PC. Because all Apple MacBooks are having SSD hard drive. Also, most SSD drives are 5 to 10 times faster than HDD hard drives. Therefore, your computer might work slow.

If you have Mac or PC with SSD hard drive and still your NPM install command work slow, you can make it faster by following the tutorial. Also, this method works for HDD drives as well. 

Make NPM Install  Work 20 Times Faster

1. The first way to make NPM install faster is to make the progress set to false. So, this makes NPM install packages without showing the progress status.

npm set progress=false

It makes NPM install run 2x faster.

2. The second way is to use PNPM. It’s fast, disk space-efficient package manager. Besides, it’s a lot faster than NPM and Yarn. The way it works is similar to NPM. Also, as the documentation says, it supports almost 80% of NPM commands.

Features:

• Fast. Faster than NPM and Yarn.
• Efficient. One version of a package is saved only ever once on a disk.
• Deterministic. It has a lock file called.shrinkwrap.yaml
• Strict. A package can access only dependencies that are specified in its.package.json
• Works everywhere. Works on Windows, Linux and OS X.

Here is how you install and use it. Assuming you have NPM.

npm install -g pnpm

Now, instead of using NPM install, use PNPM install. For example.

pnpm install bootstrap

But you should remember, it will not work if you don’t have the filepackage.json.

npm init -y

Before using PNPM install command, run  npm init -y to create an empty package.jsonfile.

NPM commands that are re-implemented in PNPM:

• install
• update
• uninstall
• link
• prune
• list
• install-test
• outdated
• rebuild
• root
• help

You can read more here about it.

Conclusion

I hope it has been informative for you and y help you. If you have any questions, feel free to comment below. Besides, you can join our forum and ask questions there.

The storage management or hard disk management is easy with the command line as GUI disk management on Windows. Here we just focus on this topic to manage hard disk using the command on Windows 10 and other Windows operating systems. Manage Hard disk with command-line tool DiskPart.

The Disk Partition Utility (Diskpart) is a command-line tool for managing hard disk in Windows operating system. Diskpart has replaced with FDisk command-line tool which works with the MS-DOS-based operating system.

Manage Hard Disk using Command Line

Diskpart can be used on both command prompt and PowerShell. But, you must well be understanding what you are doing when using Diskpart. It might happen much time which formatted the entire disk with one command. The last one was a Laptop of my friend with lots of memorial photos and videos. Fortunately, we had recovered all data successfully with data recovery software. But take too us much time.

Manage Hard Disk using Command Line in Windows 10: 

1. Open command line or PowerShell.
2. Run DiskPart as Administrator privilege.
3. Clean Hard Disk with Command-Line.
4. Create Partition with Command.
5. Format Hard Disk with Command.
6. Delete Partition.
7. Extend Partition with Command-Line.
8. Shrink Partition with Command.

That’s all you will learn from reading this article about tips to manage hard disk using the command line in the Windows environment. Let’s start it with running DiskPart as administrator privilege on Windows 10. You can use this command on other Windows operating systems as well.

1. Press Windows+R to open the Run and type “diskpart” then press enter to run the DiskPart utility.
2. Click Yes to User Account Control prompt.

1. Create Partition with Command

You may want to list installed hard disks of the system. Just type ‘list disk’ then press enter to display all connected hard disks of your PC. The List disk command only shows the normal hard disks on your computer. If your hard disk is corrupted, it’s not possible to display with DiskPart List Disk command.

1. Type “List Disk” to view all hard disks.

2. In this PC we have two hard disks. You must select the correct disk you want to manage with the command line. Choose the disk with select disk command.

For example, you want to select disk 1. Type “select disk 1” command and press enter. Now the disk one has chosen as the disk you want to manage it with the command line.

To see whether the disk has selected or not, just type “list disk” and see the result. The strick in front of Disk 1 shows that disk one is selected and ready for management.

2. Clean a Partition Using DiskPart

Now clean the disk by ‘Clean’ command.

1. Type “clean” and press enter to clean disk with command.

That’s all command to clean a disk with DiskPart command. Let’s create a new partition with command.

3. Create a Partition with Command

To create a partition with command just type “Create partition primary size=40000″ and press enter. This command will create a 40 GB primary partition from disk 1. You can assign the size of your partition according to your hard disk capacity.

1. Type “create part primary size=50000” then press enter.

2. To check the created partition type ‘List vol’ command. The command will list all volumes. On the below screenshot Volume 3 is the created partition with 39 GB space.

The last Volume 3 is the newly created partition. It is selected and ready to format it.

4. How to Format Partition with Command?

1. Type ‘format fs=ntfs quick’ to format the partition, and type ‘list vol’ to see the formatted partition with NTFS file system.

You can see the result of Diskpart format partition. It shows volume 3 has formatted as NTFS type. Next, assign a letter to the newly formatted partition.

2. Just type “assign letter=f” and press enter. The F letter has assigned to volume 3. Now it appears as F local drive on File Explorer.

Now you have learned creating, formatting and some diskpart commands for managing hard disk with the command line in Windows 10. The next step is using some more DiskPart command to get expert on Diskpart disk management tool.

5. How to Delete a Partition with Command?

1. To delete a partition or volume with command first select volume then type “delete partition.” Like screenshot.

Yes, you can see the result, the partition ‘Volume 3’ has deleted successfully.

6. How to Extend a Partition with Command?

The extended process is to add some more space to existing partition from the free space of a hard disk. To do this, just follow the screenshot.

1. List the volumes with “List vol” command.
2. Type “extend size=10000” to add extra 10 GB to volume 3 from the free spaces of the hard disk.

The ‘Extend size=10000’ will add 10 GB to the Volume 3 partition. If you don’t mention the size, the system will add all free space.

6. How to Shrink a Partition with Command?

It is the best option for a newly purchased laptop that only has one drive on its hard disk. You can use DiskPart shrink command to shrink the extra free spaces of a drive. Shrink a volume is to create unallocated space from free spaces of an existing partition.

1. Type “List vol” to see all volumes.
2. Just type “shrink desired=20000 minimum=10000” then press enter.

The Diskpart shrink command has shrunk 19 GB from the Volume 3 successfully.

Finally, I hope this article helps you manage the hard disk using the command line easy. If you have any issue with disk management or DiskPart commands, please comment us.

You can reset Windows 10 IP address with these three methods, using network connections settings, command prompt, and PowerShell. The easiest option to reset Windows 10 IP address with command prompt (CMD). If your system obtains its IP address automatically from a DHCP server, the “ipconfig” command can refresh your system IP address. The refreshing IP address process releases the old IP address and requests a new IP address from the DHCP server.

The other methods for changing Windows 10 IP address is GUI from network connections settings and using Windows PowerShell. Let’s do it with the easy one inside command prompt with ipconfig command.

Reset Windows 10 IP Address

To reset Windows 10 IP address, just open the command prompt or PowerShell interface and do it with the following “ipconfig” commands.

Resetting Windows IP address needs:

1. Press Windows+R to open the Run.
2. Type “cmd” and press enter.
3. To display the current IP address type “ipconfig.”
4. Check the output results of “ipconfig” commands.

1. Press Windows and type “PowerShell” and open the Windows PowerShell. Now type “ipconfig.” The IP config command shows the current system IP address. Here my computer IP address is 200.100.10.2 with the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and default gateway of 200.100.10.1.

2. To reset your system, IP address just types “ipconfig /release” and press enter. The /release option of ipconfig command will remove the current IP address. When the “ipconfig /release” command process has finished, type “ipconfig /renew” to obtains a new IP address from DHCP server.

Yes, the output result of ipconfig /release shows that the current IP address removed. Now the system doesn’t have an IP address, and it is ready to obtain a new IP address from DHCP server.

3. To get a fresh new IP address, just type “ipconfig /renew.” The /renew option of ipconfig command request a fresh new IP address from the DHCP server.

That’s good. The output result’s of ipconfig /renew shows that the system obtains a new IP address from the DHCP server.
