Configure AD DS Server Role Task Sequence Step Settings

AD DS stores directory data and manages communications between users and domains, including logon processes, authentication, and directory searches. An AD DS domain controller is a server that runs AD DS.

Note For ZTI task sequences in Configuration Manager 2012 and Configuration Manager 2007 R3 that are not created using the MDT task sequence templates, ensure that you run the Use Toolkit Package and Gather task sequence steps prior to running any of the server role task sequence steps. The server role task sequence steps are dependent on the Use Toolkit Package and Gather task sequence steps.

Configure the AD DS Server Role task sequence step by:

· Deploying a new domain controller in a new forest as described in Deploy a Domain Controller in a New Forest

· Deploying a new domain controller as a replica in an existing domain as described in Deploy a New Domain Controller as a Replica in an Existing Domain

· Deploying a new domain controller in a new domain tree in an existing forest as described in Deploy a New Domain Controller in a New Domain Tree in an Existing Forest

· Deploying a new domain controller in a new domain in an existing forest as described in Deploy a New Domain Controller in a New Domain in an Existing Forest

· Deploying a new read-only domain controller (RODC) in an existing domain as described in Deploy an RODC in an Existing Domain

· Configuring AD DS advanced properties for domain controllers as described in Configure AD DS Advanced Properties
