Welcome To My Journey

I have created this blog to record the things I learn as I progress in my studies of the Windows Operating System. My focus will primarily be the latest Operating System offerings by Microsoft, but much of the content below may also apply to earlier versions. I invite you to join me as I explore and learn about Microsoft Windows!

Installing Windows 2008 R2 Active Directory Domain Services - Part 2

In this demonstration, I show how to add a second domain controller to an existing forest.  Additionally, I demonstrate how to work through a particular problem related to DNS that the 2nd DC encounters when trying to find the AD DS domain.

Tools used in this video:

  1. DCPromo – This command-line tool is used to add/remove Active Directory Domain Services on a specified Windows Server

In the third part of this series, I’ll show you how to install AD DS onto a Windows Server running Windows Server Core.  Until then…
