Installing Active Directory(Domain) in Windows Server 2008

Installing Active Directory Domain Services (AD-DS)

In Windows Server 2008, unlike previous server operating Systems, there is an additional step that needs to be taken before running DCPROMO to promote the server to Domain Controller and installing Active Directory on it. This step is the installation of Active Directory Domain Services (AD-DS) role on the server. In fact, the AD-DS role is what enables the server to act as a Domain Controller, but you will still need to run DCPROMO the regular way.

AD-DS can be installed in one of 3 methods:

Method 1 – Server Manager/Initial Configuration Tasks

Roles can and should be added from Server Manager (but they can also be initiated from the Initial Configuration Tasks wizard that auto-opens the first time you log on to the server).

1. Open Server Manager by clicking the icon in the Quick Launch toolbar, or from the Administrative Tools folder.
2. Wait till it finishes loading, then click on Roles > Add Roles link.

3. In the Before you begin window, click Next.

4. In the Select Server Roles window, click to select Active Directory Domain Services, and then click Next.

5. In the Active Directory Domain Services window read the provided information if you want to, and then click Next.

6. In the Confirm Installation Selections, read the provided information if you want to, and then click Next.

7. Wait till the process completes.

8. When it ends, click Close.

9. Going back to Server Manager, click on the Active Directory Domain Services link, and note that there's no information linked to it, because the DCPROMO command has not been run yet.

10. Now you can click on the DCPROMO link, or read on.
    1. To run DCPROMO, enter the command in the Run command, or click on the DCPROMO link from Server Manager > Roles > Active Directory Domain Services.
    
    2. Depending upon the question if AD-DS was previously installed or not, the Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard will appear immediately or after a short while. Click Next.
    
    1. In the Operating System Compatibility window, read the provided information and click Next.
    
    2. In the Choosing Deployment Configuration window, click on "Create a new domain in a new forest" and click Next.
    
    3. Enter an appropriate name for the new domain. Make sure you pick the right domain name, as renaming domains is a task you will not wish to perform on a daily basis. Click Next.
    
    Note: Do NOT use single label domain names such as "mydomain" or similar. You MUST pick a full domain name such as "mydomain.local" or "mydomain.com" and so on.
    The wizard will perform checks to see if the domain name is not already in use on the local network.
    
    4. Pick the right forest function level. Windows 2000 mode is the default, and it allows the addition of Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 Domain Controllers to the forest you're creating. Read my "Understanding Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Domain and Forest Functional Levels" article for more information on that.
    
    5. Pick the right domain function level. Windows 2000 Native mode is the default, and it allows the addition of Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 Domain Controllers to the domain you're creating.
    
    Note: If you select "Windows Server 2008" for the forest function level, you will Not be prompted to pick a domain function level. Read more about domain and forest function levels on my "Understanding Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Domain and Forest Functional Levels" article.
    6. The wizard will perform checks to see if DNS is properly configured on the local network. In this case, no DNS server has been configured, therefore, the wizard will offer to automatically install DNS on this server.
    
    Note: The first DCs must also be a Global Catalog. Also, the first DCs in a forest cannot be a Read Only Domain controller.
    7. It's most likely that you'll get a warning telling you that the server has one or more dynamic IP Addresses. Running IPCONFIG /all will show that this is not the case, because as you can clearly see, I have given the server a static IP Address. So, where did this come from? The answer is IPv6. I did not manually configure the IPv6 Address, hence the warning. In a network where IPv6 is not used, you can safely ignore this warning.
    
    8. You'll probably get a warning about DNS delegation. Since no DNS has been configured yet, you can ignore the message and click Yes.
    
    9. Next, change the paths for the AD database, log files and SYSVOL folder. For large deployments, carefully plan your DC configuration to get the maximum performance. When satisfied, click Next.
    
    10. Enter the password for the Active Directory Recovery Mode. This password must be kept confidential, and because it stays constant while regular domain user passwords expire (based upon the password policy configured for the domain, the default is 42 days), it does not. This password should be complex and at least 7 characters long. I strongly suggest that you do NOT use the regular administrator's password, and that you write it down and securely store it. Click Next.
    
    11. In the Summary window review your selections, and if required, save them to an unattend answer file. When satisfied, click Next.
    
    12. The wizard will begin creating the Active Directory domain, and when finished, you will need to press Finish and reboot your computer.
    
    Ok Click to restart. There you installed the new active directory

Point Of Sale Pincode Updation Version2

The Requirement

Offices already using Point Of Sale are not able to update their PIN Code Database whenever a new version is released. In the process of upgradation it was not possible to upgrade the PIN Code database due to the size of the database. Hence the latest pincodes were not available for doing transactions in Point Of Sale. Having the latest PIN Codes in Point of Sale is very important, especially after the introduction of eMO. Those who have done upgradation can get the latest pincodes by using the PointOfSale Pincode Updation exe.

How to use

Run the setup.exe in the machine where Point Of Sale Server component is installed to install the application. After the installation, Point of sale Pincode Updation will be available under Start –>Programs. Run the Point of Sale Pincode Updation exe. Point Of Sale application should be closed in all the machines before doing this. Enter the path in which Point Of Sale Server component is installed and click on Update Pincode to update the pincodes.

Those who are using Point Of Sale Pincode Updation Version 1.0 can copy the pincode.txt file available under Upgrade folder to the application installation folder of Point Of Sale Pincode Updation. Then the Point Of Sale Pincode Updation.exe can be run to update the latest pincodes.     

Future Updation

Whenever the Pincode details are updated a revised file will be kept in the ftp site (ftp.ptcinfo.org). The text file can be downloaded and it should be copied to the application installation folder of Point Of Sale Pincode Updation. Then the Point Of Sale Pincode Updation.exe can be run to update the latest pincodes.
