Yes you can. You need to decide if you are going to use Active Directory (AD) or not. It's handy but complex so if you are new, I would recommend waiting on the AD part.

If you set up AD, make sure you have the Domain name you like because once you set it up, you can't change it without starting from scratch.

Links can be irritating but these really are useful ones.
