?– TCP/IP and DNS Server addresses should be configured. (If this is the first
domain controller and DNS Server, the installation process will install the DNS
service automatically and update the primary DNS entry for you.)
?– If you are adding this server to an existing Windows 2000 or Windows Server
2003 forest, you must first update the schema on the schema operations master
by running adprep /forestprep.
?– If you are adding this server to an existing Windows 2000 or Windows Server
2003 domain, you must also update the infrastructure master by running
adprep /domainprep /gpprep.
?– If you are installing a read-only domain controller (RODC), you need to
prepare the forest by running adprep /rodcprep (more on RODCs in the
next section and later in the chapter).
?–? A working DNS infrastructure must be in place. If you don??™t already have one,
you can install the DNS service as part of the installation.
107 Chapter 4: Active Directory Domain Services
The New Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard
Since Windows Server 2008 introduces some new functionality to Active Directory, the
Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard??”otherwise known as dcpromo
.exe??”has also undergone some changes. DNS installation and configuration in Windows
Server 2008 is automatic, if needed, unlike previous Windows versions in which it was
optional. DNS also creates a new delegation or updates an existing delegation for the
server automatically if it has to be installed.
