L0200 System Connectivity Checklist
Contents
All labs for this course will be completed in the Windows Lab Environment.
Ensure connectivity to the Lab Environment.
- Understand the basic Lab network topology.
- Remote Desktop Connect to the Lab Member Server, WS01
- Remote Desktop Connect to the Lab Domain Controller, DC01
Review the provided Lab Network Topology map and System and Credential reference table.
The lab facilitator will provide instructions on connecting to the lab environment. For on site classes this may require a physical cable connection. For remote classes, this may require connecting directly to the lab Domain Controller via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or using a VPN.

Remote Desktop Connection To The Member Server
NOTE: The Lab Facilitator will provide you with initial connection information. This initial connection may be an alternate RDP session directly to the Domain Controller system over the Internet. Follow any alternate instructions provided by the facilitator. This lab is complete when you have confirmed RDP access to the lab Domain Controller.
| Context | Information |
|---|---|
| MSRDP | IP Address provided by instructor |
| Username | labs\itadmin |
| Password | APTClass2021! |
When you have confirmed you have access to the Member Server via RDP, you have completed this connectivity check step.
Remote Desktop Connection To The Domain Controller
Once logged on to the Member Server, open a new RDP session from that RDP session. Log in to the Windows DC at dc01.labs.local via MSRDP.
