hardwarecrazy 0 Posted January 10, 2002 Hi, My W2KS is not currently set up as a Domain Controller as it is used in a Peer-to-Peer Network. But I need to move up to configuring my LAN to use it as a Domain Controller. What is the easiest way to convert my W2KServer as a Domain Controller? I understand that there is a command line prompt to do the same. Also what settings I need to incorporate in W98SE workstations to make use of the Domain Controller? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted January 10, 2002 Since you are looking to introduce Active Directory, simply use "dcpromo" and go through the wizard. If you do not have internal (internal, not external as in using the ISP) DNS setup then it will prompt you to create a DNS zone as well. I would recommend scouting around Technet for some articles on Active Directory first so you can get an idea as to what is going to happen, as well as checking out how Win9x workstations fit into the bill.

Lactic.Acid 0 Posted January 11, 2002 This is a fun process, as Clutch can attest to =) as he more or less held my hand through it, but once you get the kinks worked out, it's great! Ask me for help (or just post here =) and I'll do what I can for ya, test my own knowledge of what I did. /L.A Share this post Link to post
