Installing Active Directory
William Panek · 2018
This chapter discusses how to install a new forest, add or remove a domain controller from a domain; upgrade a domain controller, and install AD DS on a Server Core installation. The chapter also offers guidance on how to install a domain controller from Install from Media (IFM), resolve DNS SRV record registration issues, and install and configure a read-only domain controller (RODC). Windows Server 2016 includes a file system called Resilient File System (ReFS). ReFS was created to help Windows Server maximize the availability of data and online operation. ReFS allows the Windows Server 2016 system to continue to function despite some errors that would normally cause data to be lost or the system to go down. Protecting against disk failures is an important concern for production servers. Although earlier versions of Windows NT supported various levels of Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) technology, software-based solutions had some shortcomings.
