    For this section create 3 new Windows virtual machines.

    1 of them requires just 1 virtual NIC connected to the public network.

    The other 2 require 3 virtual NICs each. One connected to public, one connected to iSCSI and the other connected to heartbeat\private. You could use the following

    VMNet1 Public 172.168.10.0 255.255.255.0

    VMNet2 ISCSI 192.168.93.0. 255.255.255.0

    VMNet3 Private 10.10.10.0. 255.255.255.0

    So the domain controller will have 1 NIC connected to VMNet1

    Each cluster node will have one NIC connected to VMNet1, VMNet2 and VMNet3.

    Get all 3 machines installed and networked and post back for details of how to create the domain controller.

    Sorry, I have one doubt, please don't get mad. It is regarding the below IP addresses you suggested.

    VMNet1 Public 172.168.10.0 255.255.255.0

    VMNet2 ISCSI 192.168.93.0. 255.255.255.0

    VMNet3 Private 10.10.10.0. 255.255.255.0

    Does this mean that we need to provide the same IP address to the following. To be more clear.

    For ClusterDC

    VMNet1 Public 172.168.10.0 255.255.255.0

    For Node1

    VMNet1 Public 172.168.10.0 255.255.255.0

    VMNet2 ISCSI 192.168.93.0. 255.255.255.0

    VMNet3 Private 10.10.10.0. 255.255.255.0

    For Node2

    VMNet1 Public 172.168.10.0 255.255.255.0

    VMNet2 ISCSI 192.168.93.0. 255.255.255.0

    VMNet3 Private 10.10.10.0. 255.255.255.0
