Guide: Creating first DC on Server 2008 R2 Core

Question

In this tutorial (2 parts) I created a Domain Controller with a DNS server and activated the remote management for this server. I also configured a host for remote management of this domain.

 

 

 

 

The steps I performed:

 

c:\sconfig

(configure hostname, remote tools and networkconfiguration)

 

c:\dcpromo /?:Promotion

(lists al the options that are available for the unattendfile)

 

c:\notepad

(create the unattendfile, saved it to c:\unattended.txt)

 

c:\dcpromo /unattend:c:\unattended.txt

(start the installation of the Domain Controller role)

 

c:\shutdown /f /r /t 0

(reboot the server to apply the newly installed role)

 

 

 

The unattended file I used in my presentation:

 

[DCINSTALL]

Childname=Testopia

ConfirmGc=Yes

DNSOnNetwork=No

ForestLevel=4

DomainNetBiosName=TESTOPIA

InstallDNS=Yes

NewDomain=Forest

NewDomainDNSName=testopia.intra

Password=*

RebootOnCompletion=No

SafeModeAdminPassword=1234Test

ReplicaOrNewDomain=Domain
