How you can raise domain functional and forest functional level in Windows Server 2008?

Raise the Domain Functional Level for 2008 server

Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2

When you install Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) on a server running Windows Server 2008 R2, a set of basic Active Directory features is enabled by default. In addition to the basic Active Directory features on individual domain controllers, there are new domain-wide and forest-wide Active Directory features available when all domain controllers in a domain or forest are running Windows Server 2008 R2.

For the new domain-wide features to be enabled, all domain controllers in the domain must be running Windows Server 2008 R2, and the domain functional level must be raised to Windows Server 2008 R2.

Membership required: Domain Admins or Enterprise Admins

To raise the domain functional level

1.Open Active Directory Domains and Trusts. To open Active Directory Domains and Trusts, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Domains and Trusts.

2.In the console tree, right-click the domain for which you want to raise functional level, and then click Raise Domain Functional Level.

3.In Select an available domain functional level, do one of the following:

* To raise the domain functional level to Windows Server 2008, click Windows Server 2008, and then click Raise.

* To raise the domain functional level to Windows Server 2008 R2, click Windows Server 2008 R2, and then click Raise.

Caution

Do not raise the domain functional level to a later version (such as Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2) if you have or will have any domain controllers running earlier versions of Windows Server.

Important

After you set the domain functional level to a certain value, you cannot roll back or lower the domain functional level, with one exception: when you raise the domain functional level to Windows Server 2008 R2 and if the forest functional level is Windows Server 2008 or lower, you have the option of rolling the domain functional level back to Windows Server 2008. You can lower the domain functional level only from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2008. If the domain functional level is set to Windows Server 2008 R2, it cannot be rolled back, for example, to Windows Server 2003.

What command do you type to DEMOTE your domain controller back to a simple Windows 2003 member server?

Is it cost effective for a backup domain controller?

That depends entirely on the business model of the domain. The point of a BDC is to eliminate down time, and in smaller companies or companies that do not rely heavily on their computer network, downtime is not an issue and the extra cost involved with the BDC does not outweigh its usage.

What is a read only domain controller Or RODC?

One of the new features receiving close attention in Windows 2008 is a new breed of domain controllers referred to as Read-Only Domain Controllers, also known as RODCs. The RODC hosts a copy of the Active Directory (AD) database like any other writable domain controller, but as its name implies, the contents replica of the domain database residing on the domain controller is read-only and write operations are not supported. It is equally important to mention that the RODCs do not participate in Active directory replication in the same fashion as writable domain controllers. The fundamental difference between RODC replication and the typical multimaster replication model between writable domain controllers is that RODCs replication is unidirectional. This means all changes from a writable domain controller are propagated to the RODCs. As a result, the RODC receives changes, but does not partake in or perform outbound replication with other domain controllers.

Read-only domain controllers (RODCs) in Active Directory, intended for use in branch office or other scenarios where a domain controller may reside in a low physical security environment. The RODC holds a non-writeable copy of Active Directory, and redirects all write attempts to a Full Domain Controller. It replicates all accounts except sensitive ones.In RODC mode, credentials are not cached by default. Moreover, only the replication partner of the RODC needs to run Windows Server 2008. Also, local administrators can log on to the machine to perform maintenance tasks without requiring administrative rights on the domain.

What active directory domain services are not installed on a Windows server 2008 computer until you install AD DS role to the computer?

Which type of server assigns ip addresses to clients on a temporary or lease basis?

The DHCP server (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

What is DHCP?Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a computer from a defined range of numbers (i.e., a scope) configured for a given network.

DHCP assigns an IP address when a system is started, for example:

  1. A user turns on a computer with a DHCP client.
  2. The client computer sends a broadcast request (called a DISCOVER or DHCPDISCOVER), looking for a DHCP server to answer.
  3. The router directs the DISCOVER packet to the correct DHCP server.
  4. The server receives the DISCOVER packet. Based on availability and usage policies set on the server, the server determines an appropriate address (if any) to give to the client. The server then temporarily reserves that address for the client and sends back to the client an OFFER (or DHCPOFFER) packet, with that address information. The server also configures the client's DNS servers, WINS servers, NTP servers, and sometimes other services as well.
  5. The client sends a REQUEST (or DHCPREQUEST) packet, letting the server know that it intends to use the address.
  6. The server sends an ACK (or DHCPACK) packet, confirming that the client has a been given a lease on the address for a server-specified period of time.

Why can you remote in to your Windows 2003 server but can't get the server and your computer to see each other?

Make sure the settings are correct. I know you looked at them a thousand times but,,

255.255.255.000

And make sure 192.168.00#.00# . if you use 168.192.00#.00# this will cause an administrator setting in your computer which conflicts with you servers programmed dominance. Placing 168 first is cool to use on small home/office networks cause you can see them but they can';t see you. :>)

Sorry but I think the question "What can you do to promote a server to DC if you're in a remote location with slow WAN link" is different.

There may be many scenario's wherein you have to build a DC remotely and connection speed is slow. It may take a very long time to build the DC. The solution for this is the new feature called New Domain Controller from Replica. Steps Involved are

Take a NTBackup from a DC

Put in a disk and ship it to the desired location

Restore to the prospective New DC

Decrease initial replication load
