Step-by-Step guide to install Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC)

In previous post i have explain what is RODC and the benefits of it. If you not read it yet you can find it in here.

Before install a RODC in a domain environment it need to meet the following requirements,

If forest have any DC running windows server 2003 we need to adjust permissions on DNS application directory partition to allow them to replicate to RODC. It can be done by running adprep /RODCprep from windows 2012 server installation disk \support\adprep folder.

In my demo setup i do have a domain called contoso. Before start lets check the forest function level.

As we can see here its runs with windows server 2012 R2 so we do not need to prepare domain with adprep /RODCprep

To install RODC i have a fresh installed windows 2012 R2 server and its already added to the domain. (Here i do not going to explain how to add it to domain as in previous in my posts i explain how to add server to a domain)

This completes the installation of RODC in domain. in next post we will look in to configuring RODC with different policies.
