I have this TechNet article applying to 2008R2, makes me wonder why I have to upgrade the domain controller:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Dd391964%28v=WS.10%29.aspx
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd367859%28WS.10%29.aspx

maybe someone can help me out with what the point is that i’m overseeing…

Can the Schema be upgraded to 2012 R2 without a 2012 R2 domain controller? If not, then the given answer is wrong.

Yes you can. (This is BASIC knowledge)

Going to throw a spanner in the works. I think it is:

Install a 2012R2 DC
Set-ADServiceAccount
Install- ADServiceAccount

kurt

kurt

it has to be:

Install a 2012R2 DC
New-ADServiceAccount
Install- ADServiceAccount
modify settings
it is in the friggin microsoft books

u have to install the service before you modify the settings

kurt

kurt

however it is an application pool. so install-adserviceaccount may not be required

kurt

kurt

it still doesnt make sense. you install a dc 2012r2 but you stil have to create the kds root key. there are no options for this.

Correct answer is:

Schema is 2012 so we don’t need any new DC.

Answer is:
1-We need to add a New-ADServiceAccount
2-We need to Install-ADServiceAccount to the Servers.
3-We need to change the Application Pool.

IMPORTANT:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj128431.aspx#BKMK_gMSA_Req

Important: Service Accounts were already supported in 2008 howerver for gMSA we have more requirements:

Requirements:

Active Directory Domain Service requirements
• The Active Directory schema in the gMSA domain’s forest needs to be updated to Windows Server 2012 to create a gMSA.

You can update the schema by installing a domain controller that runs Windows Server 2012 or by running the version of adprep.exe from a computer running Windows Server 2012. The object-version attribute value for the object CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=Contoso,DC=Com must be 52.

• New gMSA account provisioned

• If you are managing the service host permission to use gMSA by group, then new or existing security group

• If managing service access control by group, then new or existing security group

• If the first master root key for Active Directory is not deployed in the domain or has not been created, then create it. The result of its creation can be verified in the KdsSvc Operational log, Event ID 4004.
