Rename: Rename-Computer computername<\/strong><\/p>\n Reboot: Restart-Computer<\/strong><\/p>\n Configure an IP: New-NetIPAddress -IPAddress x.x.x.x -InterfaceAlias “Ethernet” -DefaultGateway x.x.x.x -AddressFamily IPv4 -PrefixLength 24<\/strong> (or whatever your subnet mask is)<\/p>\n Configure a DNS server: Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias “Ethernet” -ServerAddresses x.x.x.x<\/strong><\/p>\n Join a domain: Add-Computer -DomainName domain.com<\/strong><\/p>\n You can start using Server Manager after that to install roles and features, and configure them.
