How To Create A New Domain In Windows Server 2008 R2 X64.

Good.
Today I'll show you how to create a domain from scratch on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64. This procedure is exactly the same in 32 bit versions and versions that are not R2.
The domain that we create will be called megacrack2.es and will be the first domino of a new forest.
First we have a Windows Server 2008 R2 X64 server. (You can follow this article to see how 2008 installed Windows from scratch but without the passage of sysprep since this server will not be a basis: Installing Windows Server Std 2008 R2 X64 step by step to use BASE).
Now that we have a clean server Windows Server 2008 with the latest patches proceed to make the first settings to prepare the server for a promotion to domain controller.
1.- We started the session as a local administrator.
2.- We set a fixed IP.
3.- Configure a name server (in our case we have called Mega2DC1).
We press on 4.- Home -> Run -> Write dcpromo and click on OK to validate.


click on Next. (Advanced mode only serve us if you want to install the domain controller via a backup, in case you want to modify the default generated NETBIOS name or to select a different source domain controller).

click on Next. (This message warns that the authentication algorithm that was used in the past on Windows NT is no longer supported and if a Windows NT 4.0 computer tries to use the NETLOGON service to establish a secure channel to a domain controller based on Windows Server 2008, the operation may fail) you can find more information here: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=942564

We mark Create a new domain in a new forest and click on Next. (Like us what we want here is to have a primary domain controller this is the option we choose).

Write the name you give the domain: In our case megacrack2.es and click on Next. Remember that should be the complete domain name (Think this will be the father of the whole forest, from here we can create subdomains that are part of this forest that should call first name.megacrack2.es

Forest functional level, um here a screen difficult to understand. See if you explain it in an easy way.
There are several domain functional level and forest level levels. In the present case that asks us about our new functional level forest work.
In the event that all domain controllers that we will install from now are Windows Server 2008 R2 interests us select as Windows Server 2008 R2 the forest functional level because it offers the possibility of restoring Active Directory objects we have eliminated mistake from a recycle bin, in any other case if the domain controllers that we will create within this forest Windows Server are 2003 or less have to select another functional level.
Note: This does not affect such that if in future other companies have domain controllers in Windows Server 2003 and we want to integrate them into our domain with a trust relationship to stop working. This is only at the level of our forest. So everything ending in megacrack2.es

As explained in the previous article the first domain controller must be Global Catalog with what we can not uncheck this option. Moreover, the DNS is essential in a new domain. If we do not have a DNS server DNS Server leave the option checked by default and will press on Next. Nor can we make the RODC option because they do not have the time to a domain controller in Windows Server 2008. Until the end of this article clear.
press sobe Next.

click on And it is.

To improve performance I / O is recommended to host the database and log files in a different unit than the SYSVOL.
click on Next.

This password will be required in case we need to go into Active Directory Restore mode. Write down a safe and remember-the sets as only once and not again request password under any circumstances. Only when it is needed most do in a disaster recovery.
We write the password and ulsamos on Next.

We check that the data are correct and click on Next. In case you want to save this setting for a response file click on Export settings.

When installation is complete: (Not taking too long)

click on Finish (We note that no error message).

click on restart Now.
Upon entering we again ask for a username and password (As you can see in the picture below but the user is Administrator of the domain MEGACRACK2 and has the same password as the local administrator user were using so far) This is because to make the domain controller has changed the local administrator user domain administrator.

Entering the Server Manager we can see that we have installed and functional roles of Active Directory and DNS.

I hope you have been helpful and the next MegaCracks.
