The Confirm Installation Selections screen will show you some information messages and warn that the server may need to be restarted after installation. Review the information and then click Install.
The Installation Results screen will hopefully show Installation Succeeded , and an additional warning about running dcpromo. Click Close. This is because we have not run dcpromo yet. Click on the Start button, type dcpromo. There are links to more information if you want to learn a bit more you can follow them or you can go ahead and click Use advanced mode installation and then click Next.
The next screen warns about some operating system compatibility with some older clients. Click Next. Next is the Choose Deployment Configuration screen and you can choose to add a domain to an existing forest or create a forest from scratch. Choose Create a new domain in a new forest and click Next. The Name the Forest Root Domain wants you to name the root domain of the forest you are creating. For the purposes of this test we will create ADExample. After typing that go ahead and click Next.

If so, is the 1C and 1B record correct? Visit my blog: anITKB. Friday, May 21, PM. What problems are you having since the demotion of one DC? Thanks for that. I'll give your suggestions a shot and get back to you. Thanks for your help so far. Friday, May 21, AM. Should is the key word, my clients running a very small business, only like 10 computers, so 2 servers wasn't an option for him.
No, should is the solution. Install second server on a laptop you bring in as consultant. Noone says it has to be there for ages. THAT SAID: I run a small business with 6 employees and we have 2 servers because guess what - small servers cost nothing compared to having 6 pople not do any work while backups come in. And the client DOES make backups, or is he gambling his business away? Look into the cost of getting a decent server for virtualization purposes, then have a physical and one virtual AD server.
Really, small business or not, losing your AD because of a single server going down can cost more than the cost of an extra server. AD doesn't need a hugely spec'd system to be functional.
