network controller

The Network Controller in Windows Server is a server role that enables centralized management of physical and virtual network infrastructures. To install and deploy a Network Controller, the following steps are required: 1. Create a Security Group: Establish an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Security Group by creating a new group in Active Directory User and Computer, adding necessary users, and requesting a certificate from a Certificate Authority. 2. Install the Network Controller: Open Server Manager, navigate to Add Roles and Features, select the Network Controller role, and complete the installation process. 3. Deploy Network Controller: Configure the Network Controller cluster by creating a cluster node using PowerShell commands, specifying parameters such as the node name, server FQDN, fault domain, and REST interface. Then, run a command to configure the cluster with options for authentication, management security group, log locations, and SSL usage. Finally, validate the deployment by executing the command Get-NetworkController.
