Finding inactive computers. Bulk-importing new users. About The Author Guy Thomas. Related Posts. Unfortunately there are more of these old systems out there than you'd think. Click "Next". This is the first domain controller for our new Active Directory environment, so select "Domain controller for a new domain" and click "Next". Again, this is a brand new Active Directory environment, so here we'll choose "Domain in a new forest" and click "Next".
Here you must enter a name for your new domain. I used "fixtheexchange. Some places like to use ". You could even use ". Give yours a name that makes sense to you, and click "Next". Here you can change the folder that AD stores the database and logs in.
Since this is a test lab, I just left the default location. For best performance, store them on separate disks. Next, the Shared System Volume window will come up. Choose the folder location, and click Next. On the next window, the DNS registration diagnostic will show up. The first option will allow you to perform the DNS diagnostic again, if you have corrected the problem. The third option allows you to bypass this window if you plan to correct the problem later on.
Even though we have already installed DNS on this server, we have not configure any of its services, so we will choose the option to Install and configure DNS server on this computer and set this computer to use this DNS server as its preferred DNS server. On the next window, you need to choose what type or permissions you want for users and group objects.
Here you will get two options. The first options should be selected if you run server programs on pre-Windows servers. Select option two if you only run Windows Server and Windows Server in your domain. On the next window, you need to enter the Directory services restore mode administrator password.
This password is used when you start the computer in directory services restore mode. This account is different from the domain administrator account. InstallationMediaPath Indicates the location of the installation media that will be used to install a new domain controller. MoveInfrastructureOperationMasterRoleIfNecessary Specifies whether to transfer the infrastructure master operations master role also known as flexible single master operations or FSMO to the domain controller that you are creating"in case it is currently hosted on a global catalog server"and you do not plan to make the domain controller that you are creating a global catalog server.
Specify this parameter to transfer the infrastructure master role to the domain controller that you are creating in case the transfer is needed; in this case, specify the NoGlobalCatalog option if you want the infrastructure master role to remain where it currently is.
Specifies the single domain name for the new domain. For example, if you want to create a new child domain named emea. The default value is derived from the value of "NewDomainName.
This parameter is used only when the IP setting of the network adapter for this computer is not configured with the name of a DNS server for name resolution. It indicates that a DNS server will be installed on this computer for name resolution. Otherwise, the IP settings of the network adapter must first be configured with the address of a DNS server. NoGlobalCatalog Specifies that you do not want the domain controller to be a global catalog server.
Domain controllers that run Windows Server are installed with the global catalog by default. In other words, this runs automatically without computation, unless you specify: Code - -NoGlobalCatalog NoRebootOnCompletion Specifies whether to restart the computer upon completion of the command, regardless of success.
By default, the computer will restart. You use this argument when you install a child domain or new domain tree. The default is automatically computed. The default is an empty password. You must supply a password. The password must be supplied in a System. The SafeModeAdministratorPassword argument's operation is special:If not specified as an argument, the cmdlet prompts you to enter and confirm a masked password. This is the preferred usage when running the cmdlet interactively.
If specified without a value, and there are no other arguments specified to the cmdlet, the cmdlet prompts you to enter a masked password without confirmation. This is not the preferred usage when running the cmdlet interactively. If specified with a value, the value must be a secure string. For example, you can manually prompt for a password by using the Read-Host cmdlet to prompt the user for a secure string:-safemodeadministratorpassword read-host -prompt "Password:" -assecurestring You can also provide a secure string as a converted clear-text variable, although this is highly discouraged.
The site name must already exist when provided as an argument to -sitename. The cmdlet will not create the site. The default is none. Data must be in format provided by read-host -assecurestring or ConvertTo-SecureString. SkipPreChecks Does not run the prerequisite checks before starting installation. It is not advisable to use this setting. WhatIf Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run. Specifying Windows PowerShell Credentials You can specify credentials without revealing them in plain text on screen by using Get-credential.
If not specified as an argument, the cmdlet prompts you to enter and confirm a masked password. For example, you can manually prompt for a password by using the Read-Host cmdlet to prompt the user for a secure string.
As the previous option does not confirm the password, use extreme caution: the password is not visible. You can also provide a secure string as a converted clear-text variable, although this is highly discouraged:. Providing or storing a clear text password is not recommended. Anyone running this command in a script or looking over your shoulder knows the DSRM password of that domain controller. With that knowledge, they can impersonate the domain controller itself and elevate their privilege to the highest level in an Active Directory forest.
The test cmdlets runs only the prerequisite checks for the installation operation; no installation settings are configured. The arguments for each test cmdlet are the same as for the corresponding installation cmdlet, but "SkipPreChecks is not available for test cmdlets. The command syntax for installing a new forest is as follows. Optional arguments appear within square brackets. The -DomainNetBIOSName argument is required if you want to change the character name that is automatically generated based on the DNS domain name prefix or if the name exceeds 15 characters.
For example, to install a new forest named corp. To install a new forest named corp. The command syntax for installing a new domain is as follows. The -credential argument is only required when you are not currently logged on as a member of the Enterprise Admins group.
The command syntax for installing an additional domain controller is as follows. To install a domain controller and DNS server in the corp. If the computer is already domain joined and you are a member of the Domain Admins group, you can use:.
The command syntax to create an RODC account is as follows. The command syntax to attach a server to an RODC account is as follows. Then run the following commands on the server that you want to attach to the RODC1 account.
The server cannot be joined to the domain.
