* Now we have to create a virtual disk on top of this storage pool. We are going to create a virtual disk with mirroring option which is essentially Raid 1. Go to Server Manager->File and Storage Services->Volumes->Storage Pools and select 'create a new virtual disk' option on the bottom left box. A set up window will pop up to create a virtual disk, name the virtual disk and select the option 'mirroring' in the Storage layout tab. Select 'fixed Size' option in the provisioning tab and then in the next tab select maximum size. click on create button. A new virtual disk will be created with the mirroring option. the size of the disk is half of the original physical storage because of the mirroring option that we selected.
*After this a new Volume Wizard will pop up. This will create a volume and assign a drive letter. Select a letter for the drive, allocate tall the available space and click on create button. This will create a volume with the assigned letter.
'''Setting up Domain controller'''
*To set up the domain controller we need to add a new role to the server- 'AD DS role' Go to Server Dashboard-> Add roles and features. A window will pop up asking to add roles and features. In the installation type tab select role based installation. Select the server in the next tab. In the next tab there will be a list of roles that one can add. For this installation we need Active Directory Domain Services(AD DS). After selecting AD DS it will pop-up to add other AD DS related tools. Click on Add Features. In the features we do not need additional features than those that are selected default. Click Next->next->Install.
