Here are some major tools at your disposal when you enable ADUC on your computer. Active Directory Users and Computers is an immensely powerful tool for controlling computers in your professional network. Luckily, it is easy to install and enable. The following sections explain how to create server pools in order to install and manage AD DS on multiple servers, and how to use the wizards to install AD DS.
Server Manager can pool other servers on the network as long as they are accessible from the computer running Server Manager. Once pooled, you choose those servers for remote installation of AD DS or any other configuration options possible within Server Manager.
The computer running Server Manager automatically pools itself. For more information about server pools, see Add Servers to Server Manager. In order to manage a domain-joined computer using Server Manager on a workgroup server, or vice-versa, additional configuration steps are needed. The credential requirements to install AD DS vary depending on which deployment configuration you choose.
For more information, see Credential requirements to run Adprep. The steps can be performed locally or remotely. For more detailed explanation of these steps, see the following topics:. Deploying a Forest with Server Manager.
On the Select installation type page, click Role-based or feature-based installation and then click Next. On the Select destination server page, click Select a server from the server pool , click the name of the server where you want to install AD DS and then click Next. To select remote servers, first create a server pool and add the remote servers to it.
For more information about creating server pools, see Add Servers to Server Manager. On the Select features page, select any additional features you want to install and click Next. On the Results page, verify that the installation succeeded, and click Promote this server to a domain controller to start the Active Directory Domain Services Configuration Wizard. If you are installing an additional domain controller in an existing domain, click Add a domain controller to an existing domain , and type the name of the domain for example, emea.
The name of the domain and current user credentials are supplied by default only if the machine is domain-joined and you are performing a local installation. If you are installing AD DS on a remote server, you need to specify the credentials, by design. If current user credentials are not sufficient to perform the installation, click Change If you are installing a new child domain, click Add a new domain to an existing forest , for Select domain type , select Child Domain , type or browse to the name of the parent domain DNS name for example, corp.
If you are installing a new domain tree, click Add new domain to an existing forest , for Select domain type , choose Tree Domain , type the name of the root domain for example, corp. If you are installing a new forest, click Add a new forest and then type the name of the root domain for example, corp.
For more information about which options on this page are available or not available under different conditions, see Domain Controller Options. For more information, see Password Replication Policy. If you are adding a domain controller to an existing domain, select the domain controller that you want to replicate the AD DS installation data from or allow the wizard to select any domain controller.
If you are installing from media, click Install from media path type and verify the path to the installation source files, and then click Next. You cannot use install from media IFM to install the first domain controller in a domain. IFM does not work across different operating system versions. In other words, in order to install an additional domain controller that runs Windows Server by using IFM, you must create the backup media on a Windows Server domain controller.
On the Preparation Options page, type credentials that are sufficient to run adprep. On the Review Options page, confirm your selections, click View script if you want to export the settings to a Windows PowerShell script, and then click Next.
On the Prerequisites Check page, confirm that prerequisite validation completed and then click Install. On the Results page, verify that the server was successfully configured as a domain controller. The server will be restarted automatically to complete the AD DS installation.
In the second stage, a server is attached to the RODC account. The second stage can be completed by a member of the Domain Admins group or a delegated domain user or group.
In the Tasks Pane right pane , click Pre-create a read-only domain controller account. On the Network Credentials page, under Specify the account credentials to use to perform the installation , click My current logged on credentials or click Alternate credentials , and then click Set. In the Windows Security dialog box, provide the user name and password for an account that can install the additional domain controller.
To install an additional domain controller, you must be a member of the Enterprise Admins group or the Domain Admins group. When you are finished providing credentials, click Next.
On the Select a Site page, select a site from the list or select the option to install the domain controller in the site that corresponds to the IP address of the computer on which you are running the wizard, and then click Next.
On the Additional Domain Controller Options page, make the following selections, and then click Next :. If you do not want the domain controller to be a DNS server, clear this option. However, if you do not install the DNS server role on the RODC and the RODC is the only domain controller in the branch office, users in the branch office will not be able to perform name resolution when the wide area network WAN to the hub site is offline.
Global catalog : This option is selected by default. It adds the global catalog, read-only directory partitions to the domain controller, and it enables global catalog search functionality. If you do not want the domain controller to be a global catalog server, clear this option. However, if you do not install a global catalog server in the branch office or enable universal group membership caching for the site that includes the RODC, users in the branch office will not be able to log on to the domain when the WAN to the hub site is offline.
Read-only domain controller. When you create an RODC account, this option is selected by default and you cannot clear it. If you selected the Use advanced mode installation check box on the Welcome page, the Specify the Password Replication Policy page appears.
By default, no account passwords are replicated to the RODC, and security-sensitive accounts such as members of the Domain Admins group are explicitly denied from ever having their passwords replicated to the RODC. To add other accounts to policy, click Add , then click Allow passwords for the account to replicate to this RODC or click Deny passwords for the account from replicating to this RODC and then select the accounts.
Now, let us look at some advanced tasks that will come in handy for an administrator managing users, computers, and other objects in Active Directory. ADUC contains multiple advanced functionalities that allow administrators to work with complex settings and containers that are otherwise not visible in the console. The advanced settings are now enabled. Now, to view the user and computer attributes, you can perform the following steps:. This action denies the permission to delete the object, and when attempting to do so it displays an error message.
The following steps illustrate how to perform the search:. An alternate method to search for objects is using the DSquery command line tool. To learn how, you can check out this article. Saved Queries in ADUC allows administrators to access and audit information in AD and filter just those objects that meet a certain criteria. Your email address will not be published.
