Active
Directory Domain Services (AD DS)
act as tools that store information about the identities of users, computers,
and services; authenticate individual users or computers and provide a
mechanism with which a user or computer can access resources in the enterprise.
This chapter focuses on the creation of a new Active Directory forest with a
single domain in a single domain controller. The practice exercises in this
chapter guide you through the creation of a domain named TamilITTraining.com
that you will use for all other practices
Install a New Windows Server 2008 R2 Forest
Install a New Windows Server 2008 R2 Forest
1. Click Start,
click Run, type Dcpromo.exe, and then click OK.
Note Dcpromo
will add the AD DS role
if necessary
2. Click Next.
3. On the Operating
System Compatibility page, review the warning about the default security
settings for Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controllers, and then click next.
4. On the Choose a
Deployment Configuration page, select create a New Domain in a New Forest, and
then click next.
5. On the Name the
Forest Root Domain page, type TamilITTraning.com, and then click next. The system performs a check
to ensure that the DNS and NetBIOS names for the forest are not already in use
on the network.
6. On the Set
Forest Functional Level page, choose a forest functional level of Windows Server
2008 R2, and then click Next.
Each of the functional levels is described in the
Details box on the page. Choosing Windows Server 2008 R2 forest functional
level ensures that all domains in the forest operate at the Windows Server 2008
R2 domain functional level, which enables several new features provided by
Windows Server 2008 R2. The Additional Domain Controller Options page appears.
DNS Server is selected by default. The Active Directory Domain Services
Installation Wizard creates a DNS infrastructure during AD DS installation. The
first domain controller in a forest must be a global catalog (GC) server and
cannot be a read-only domain controller (RODC).
7. Click Next.
A warning appears that informs you that a
delegation for the DNS server cannot be created. In the context of this
exercise, you can ignore this error. Click Yes to dismiss the message.
8. On the Location for
Database, Log Files, And SYSVOL page, accept the default locations for the
database file, the directory service log files, and the SYSVOL files, and click
Next.
The best practice in a production environment is to
store these files on three separate volumes that do not contain applications or
other files not related to AD DS. This best practices design improves
performance and increases the efficiency of backup and restore.
9. On the Directory
Services Restore Mode Administrator Password page, type a strong password in
both the Password and Confirmed Password boxes. Click Next.
Do
not forget the password you assigned to the Directory Services Restore Mode Administrator.
10. On the Summary
page, review your selections. If any settings are incorrect, click Back to make
modifications.
11. Click next, and
then click Finish.
Configuration
of AD DS begins. The server will require a reboot when the process is completed.
