First, the installation prerequisite:
* The installer must have local Administrator privileges
* The operating system version must meet the conditions
* The local disk has at least one partition is the NTFS file system
* Have TCP/IP settings (IPs, subnet masks, etc., DNS point to)
* With appropriate DNS server support (SRV record)
* Have enough free space 250M
Second, installation: Dcpromo directly run Complete installation
* Note: Generally in a domain preferably to place more than one DC, do redundant backup, so let's look at how to install a second DC.
1. Set the IP address of the DNS of the computer that you want to do as an additional DC to point to DNS for the first DC.
2. Run dcpromo installation end.
To implement DNS redundancy, the following settings are also made:
3. Install the DNS component on the second DC. Wait a minute, it will automatically copy the relevant areas and records of the first DNS. (Requires that the first DNS be integrated with the first DC, must be ad-integrated DNS and allow secure dynamic updates)
4. Set up two DC and all client DNS points to two DNS, that is, preferred DNS and alternate DNS.
The redundancy and backup capabilities of DNS are implemented at this time.
Case: If the main DC is in Beijing, while the additional DC is in Shanghai, if installed?
It is not possible to install directly in Shanghai, because the replication traffic will be very large, WAN lines can not do it, then what to do?
First in Beijing's parent domain to do the backup of the ad (using Ntbackup to back up the system state), restore the backup to a Shanghai server (location select alternate location), and then build a second DC on this server.
such as: Beijing dc:ntbackup―――― Backup "System State" FileName: bakup.bkf, a server to Shanghai: Restore Backup to a folder, and then start running DCPROMO/ADV find the recovery directory, you can install successfully.
The concrete operation, I think you should not have too big problem, oneself try more several times also OK.
