How to setup an user domain for a small LAN

Hi, I'm a novice Linux user and need to setup a small LAN based only on Linux. I'm using Red Hat 8 and want to setup an user server and theirs clients machines. How do I start for setting up the user server (domain server)? Thanks in advance.

Hi Ericfraga,

What are your client machines, Windows or Linux ?
Did you mean by domain server, your Linux server to be a Primary Domain Controller or Domain Name Server?
Please confirm

Expecting your Reply
Thanks
