If you have a network connection between sites that are slow unreliable or costly you might find it
necessary to add another domain controller at a remote location or branch office.
In this scenario it is often better to deploy two days to a server by installing it from media rather
than by deploying it over the network.
For example if you connect to a server that is in a remote office sound to your server manager to install
a days the entire HDD database and the system or folder will cooperate to the new domain controller
over a potentially unreliable Ram.
Alternatively to significantly reduce the amount of traffic moving over the west link you can create
a backup or faded yes perhaps two years b drive and take this back up to the remote location.
Many already the remote location and run server manager to install ADT yes you can select the install
for a media option.
Most of the coping then are curious locally.
In this scenario only security related traffic uses the rand link.
The rand link also helps ensure that the new domain controller receives any changes made to the central
ADT years after you created the install from media backup to install a domain controller by installing
for media browse to the main controller that is not an raw DC.
Use the anti DLC steal command line tool to create a snapshot of the ADF database and then copies is
a snapshot to the sorrow that will promote to a domain domain controller you server manager to promote
the server to domain controller by selecting the install for a media option and then providing the local
path to the install from media directory that you previously created.
The procedure is as follows on the full domain controller at an administrative command prompt time the
following commands where your files are located on IE fam folder on C drive you can name this folder
whatever you like but for this example we'll use this name.
So this folder is a destination directory that will contain the snapshot of the aid it is database.
So please type and TADS you to activate instance enter the s I fam.
Create this world full circle on backslash.
I've found the second step is on the server that you are promoting to the main controller perform the
following steps.
User or manager to add the ADA s role.
Wait while the ADA deals files install and turn server manager click the notification item and then
under post deployment configuration click promote the server to the main controller the Active Directory
Domain Services configuration resort runs and the next step is on the appropriate page of The Visitor.
Select the install from mid option and then provide the local path to the snapshot directory.
Edit Yes install from the snapshot.
Note that when the Domain Controller restarts it contacts the other domain controller as in the domain
and updates aided yes with any changes made after the creation of the snapshot.
