If this is the first Windows Server 2008 domain
controller in a Windows 2000 Server domain, you must also prepare the domain by running
the following command on the infrastructure master:
Adprep /domainprep /gpprep
If this is the first Windows Server 2008 domain controller in an existing Windows
Server 2003 domain, you will need to run a similar command as above on the infrastructure
master minus the /gpprep switch:
Adprep /domainprep
NOTE Technically, you could run the same command on a Windows Server 2003 domain and
a Windows 2000 Server domain (with the /gpprep switch), except it will display an error message
on a Windows Server 2003 domain that you can safely ignore.
Surprisingly enough, you can install a Windows Server 2008 domain controller as an
RODC when it??™s added to an existing Windows 2000/2003 domain, but only if the domain
is running in the Windows Server 2003 forest and domain functional levels, and the
PDC FSMO role is on a Windows Server 2008 server. The caveat is that if this is the first
RODC in the forest, you must also run the following command to prepare the forest:
Adprep /rodcprep
Hands-On Exercise: Installing a New Windows Server 2008 Domain Controller in an Existing
Windows Server 2003 Domain In this exercise we will install a new Windows Server 2008
domain controller in an existing Windows Server 2003 domain. We will work under the
assumption that this is the first Windows Server 2008 domain controller to be added to
the domain and the forest, so we will need to extend the schema and prepare the domain
using adprep.
