1. Creating Domain Controller (DC1)
2. Using sysprep to clear configured settings.
sysprep is used to deploy a Windows image to different PCs, you have to first generalize the image to remove computer-specific information such as installed drivers and the computer security identifier (SID). You can either use Sysprep by itself or Sysprep with an unattend answer file to generalize your image and make it ready for deployment.
