I have server 2000 and would like to know how I set the I.P. address 111.222.333.444 to a domain name www.example.com (they are examples)? I already have the domain names and have a static I.P. address so all I need to do is linked them together.
Also I have 4 domains which I want to poin to the one I.P. address any ideas? They are the same name except they are like www.example.com, www.eaxmple.net, www.example.org, www.example.co.uk

If your domain name is already registered and associated to your IP address all you need to do is to promote your machine to a domain controller by running dcpromo.
I say "that's all" tongue and cheek. You'd better get some books on Active Directory, DNS and such.

Amen that! It's been my experience it's always best to setup DNS before running dcpromo as compared to setting up DNS during the installation of Active Directory.
