2. Ensure that you can ping the IP address of the first server
3. In Network Connections, select the Network adapter ‘vEthernet (vmxnet3 Ethernet Adapter - Virtual Switch)’ right click, and select properties. (When we install HyperV in the host it will automatically create a Virtual switch with the name vEthernet and transfer the IP address from original Ethernet adaptor)

10. Verify that the entry is found and the IP address corresponds with the IP of your new DC.
11. If you are getting result like “Default Server: UnKnown” then create a PTR entry of the server HPV-DC-01 in Reverse Lookup Zone. Then restart the DNS service and now you will get the correct domain name.
Verify that you can browse to a file share on the server by DNS name
