Now the Domain Server is installed. Follow-up work is required. Open the "Domain Security Policy" of the management tool and modify the password policy. Otherwise, when adding a domain user, the endless "password does not comply with the policy" prompt will put people into trouble. Since this is only a demonstration, of course, such a high level of security is not required. The settings window is as follows:

Modify the "Complexity Requirement" and "minimum value" requirements.

2) Add a domain user

Use "Active Directory users and computers" of the management tool to add "ClusterAdmin" to cluster installation for cluster management. This user is automatically added to the "Administrator" group when the group is installed.

So far, the domain installation is complete.
