Okay I have a PowerEdge 1750 server that was taken out of an
Enterprise network setup and was given to me to install in a remote
office. They don't want me to disjoin any of the domains as they want
to be able to retrieve the data if needed. The server is currently
configured for roughly 7 domains (when I am prompted to log in under
Log-In To I see various domains and not just one primary domain) ,
i.e. addot domain, nvs domain, nhsta domain, abc domain etc etc...

My task is to configure this server for the local domain TTB. Now I
have only setup servers from scratch and have no problem creating a DC
or Child DC but I am not familiar with the process of creating a new
domain on a pre-configured server. There is no local admin account
only the domain accounts of which I only have 2 passwords for.

My question is how do I go about setting up the server for an
additional domain, TTB, while leaving the settings of the already pre-
configured domains in tact? How do I enable to local admins account?
Only one domain will be active at a time.

I attempted to boot into safe mode but it still prompts me to log in
to a domain and not the local machine, the option has even been
removed from the drop down list. Any assistance or tutorials will be
greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
I think you need to get some clarification on what exactly they are asking
you to do. Its not clear from what you have described. Is this a forest? Are
there external trusts? Are they asking you to create a new domain in a
forest, or a new forest, or a new DC in a domain, or just move the server?
