Dear Customer,

Thank you for posting in newsgroup. And thanks to Meinolf for the
contribution.

According to the description, my understanding is that you want to add a
Windows Server 2008 based computer as an additional DC in the current
domain and you want documentation for the modifications of that. If I have
any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

Based on the experience, here is some information which may be helpful for
you.

Analysis and Suggestions:
=======================

If you are installing an additional Windows Server 2008 domain controller
in a Windows Server 2008 forest, you do not have to prepare the forest
before you begin the installation. However, as you are installing the first
Windows Server 2008 domain controller in an existing Windows 2000 Server
domain, ensure that the following tasks are completed:

1. Prepare the forest by running "adprep /forestprep" on the server that
holds the schema master operations master role (also known as flexible
single master operations or FSMO) to update the schema.

2. Prepare the domain by running "adprep /domainprep /gpprep" on the server
that holds the infrastructure operations master role.

3. If you are installing an RODC in an existing Windows Server 2003 domain,
you must also run the "adprep /rodcprep" command.

Please note: the "Adprep" utility is in the location "X:\sources\adprep" of
the Windows Server 2008 installation disc.

For more information, please refer to the following link:

Installing an Additional Windows Server 2008 Domain Controller
http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/library/6c141f6a-6c7b-462
f-b2a8-a06c543022981033.mspx

You may verify the Active Directory Schema level by using the
"Adsiedit.exe" or the "AD Explorer" to view the "ObjectVersion" attribute
in the properties of the "CN=Schema, CN=Configuration, DC= <domain>
partition" on the domain controller. The "ObjectVersion" value should be 31
in this case.

The Schema Version "ObjectVersion" values and corresponding operating
system support level:

13=Microsoft Windows 2000
30=Original release version of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1
31=Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2
44=Microsoft Windows Server 2008

Please note: we need to install the support tools from the installation
Disk before we can use Adsiedit.exe.

For the information about AD Explorer, you may refer to:

Download: Active Directory Explorer v1.01
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963907.aspx

ok i read all the articles an some other, i just need few confirmations to
be sure :

If my new server is only a TSE 2008:
1) i'm not oblige to make the extension of the schema or something else (i
will do it after)
2) i can't have the TS licensing server on my 2003 DC, but it can be on my
tse (that i dislike, but i will move it before adding a DC2008 next year...)


thanks for the answers

nicolas

wrong you need new cal for 2008 TS.
