Configure Windows Server 2019 — Set Static IP, Remote Desktop, and Firewall Settings
In this tutorial, we configure the initial settings on a freshly installed Windows Server 2019 instance — setting a static IP address, configuring the hostname, enabling Remote Desktop, and adjusting firewall rules. These are the foundational steps every Windows Server administrator must complete before adding server roles.
Skipping or misconfiguring any of these steps is the leading cause of problems when adding Active Directory, DHCP, and other roles later.
What you will learn:
✅ Setting a static IP address on Windows Server 2019
✅ Configuring the DNS server addresses correctly
✅ Renaming the server with a production-appropriate hostname
✅ Enabling Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)
✅ Configuring Windows Firewall for server role requirements
✅ Verifying network connectivity from the server
Who this is for: IT admins and students configuring Windows Server 2019 for a lab or production environment.
