When performing this type
of install, you must heavily consider whether Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server
2003 domain controllers will exist in this domain. That will drive the forest and domain
functional level of your Active Directory. Windows Server 2008 also drops support of all
Windows NT Server 4.0 domain controllers. The PDC Emulator domain controller role
will still exist, except Microsoft will not support it talking to domain controllers running
the legacy Windows NT 4.0 server operating system. Since this is the first domain controller
in a new domain and new forest, it cannot be set up as an RODC.
Hands-On Exercise: Installing a New Windows Server 2008 Domain in a New Windows Server 2008
Forest In this exercise, we will install and configure Active Directory Domain Services
on Windows Server 2008 as a new Windows Server 2008 domain in a new Windows
Server 2008 forest.
1. Open Server Manager and click Add Roles to start the Add Roles Wizard.
2. On the Before You Begin screen, complete all the preliminary tasks. The most
critical one is to set a static IP address, since domain controllers should not be
configured to use DHCP. Click Next after you have completed these tasks.
3. On the Select Server Roles page, select Active Directory Domain Services, as
shown in Figure 4-6. Then click Next.
4. You will see additional information about Active Directory Domain Services
(Figure 4-7).
