Summary

TLDRIn this tutorial on Windows Server 2012, viewers learn how to install an additional domain controller. The presenter guides through configuring a new server (`DC02`), joining it to an existing domain (`victor.fasold.local`), and installing Active Directory Domain Services. Key steps include promoting the server to a domain controller, setting the Directory Services Restore Mode password, and verifying successful replication from the primary domain controller (`DC01`). The video concludes with a reminder to check DNS settings and replication status, setting the stage for future tutorials on managing FSMO roles.

Takeaways

  • 😀 Ensure you have a primary domain controller set up before adding an additional one.
  • 😀 DC 02 should be joined to the existing domain by entering the domain name and administrator credentials.
  • 😀 After joining the domain, a restart of the server is necessary for changes to take effect.
  • 😀 Use Server Manager to add the Active Directory Domain Services role on DC 02.
  • 😀 Installation of Active Directory requires confirming the addition of necessary features.
  • 😀 Promote DC 02 to a domain controller by selecting the appropriate option in the post-installation tasks.
  • 😀 During promotion, set a Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM) password for recovery purposes.
  • 😀 Ensure that replication is set to occur from the existing domain controller (DC 01) during the setup.
  • 😀 After installation, check Active Directory Users and Computers to confirm successful replication.
  • 😀 Verify DNS settings to ensure they have been replicated properly between the domain controllers.

  • What is the significance of the 'Global Catalog' in the context of domain controllers?

    -The Global Catalog allows the new domain controller to provide information about every object in the Active Directory forest, which is important for efficient queries.

  • What will be covered in the next video of the series?

    -The next video will cover how to transfer or move FSMO roles from one domain controller to another.
