Your company has a single Active Directory domain. All domain controllers run Windows Server 2003.
You install Windows Server 2008 R2 on a server.
You need to add the new server as a domain controller in your domain.
What should you do first?
A.
On a domain controller run adprep /rodcprep.
B.
On the new server, run dcpromo /adv.
C.
On the new server, run dcpromo /createdcaccount.
D.
On a domain controller, run adprep /forestprep.
I think the ans should be B. Any comment?
Answer B is wrong, we use dcpromo /adv to install from media (IFM)
But now we move from 2003 to 2008 so we must first prepare the forest and then prepare th domain.
I think it is the correct answer.
In order to install a 2k8R2 DC you firstly need to prep the schema by running the /forest prep then the /domain prep
For example, if your organization has domain controllers that run Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003, before you can add a new domain controller that runs Windows Server 2008 R2 or upgrade one of the existing domain controllers to Windows Server 2008 R2, you must run Adprep.exe from the \Support\Adprep folder of the Windows Server 2008 R2 installation DVD on your existing domain controllers.
Adprep.exe is a rollup of all previous versions of this tool. In other words, if you currently have domain controllers that run Windows Server 2003 and you want to add domain controllers that run Windows Server 2008 R2, you only have to run Adprep.exe from the Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system disk. It is not necessary to run the version from Windows Server 2008 because the version in Windows Server 2008 R2 includes all the changes from previous versions.
