Welcome to the (Computer System Servicing(CSS) Grade-12) Self Learning Module

on (Configure Domain Controller Promoter DCPromo) !

This Self Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by
educators from Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge
Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership
with the Local Government of Pasig through its mayor, Honorable Victor Ma. Regis

 LESSON

WHAT IS DCPromo?

DCPromo (Domain Controller Promoter) is a tool in Active Directory that installs

and removes Active Directory Domain Services and promotes domain controllers.
Dcpromo is a windows server operating system (OS) command. It is used to
promote or make normal windows server functionality to server functionality as
domain controller. It is used to install or remove Active Directory Domain Services
(AD DS) which builds forests and domains in Active Directory, is found in every
version of Windows Server since Windows 2000. The DCPomo console utility is
used on Windows Server to install the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)
role, promoting a member server to the Active Directory (AD) domain controller or
demoting it.

The improvements to the Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard are
all available by default. However, some wizard pages appear only if you select the
use of advanced mode installation. Advanced mode installation provides
experienced users with more control over the installation process, without
confusing newer users with configuration options that may not be familiar. For
users who do not select the Use advanced mode installation check box, the wizard
use default options that apply to most configurations. The new option on the
welcome page of the wizard enables advanced mode installation as an alternative to
running dcpromo at a command prompt.

Domain and Forest functional levels 2008 does not provide any new features over
the Windows 2003 forest functional level. However it ensures that any new
domains created in this forest will automatically operate at the Windows Server
2008 domain functional level.
