Dc Domain Controller 
الأستاذ/ إبراهيم العديني 
إعداد الطالب/ شرف مشيلح الشريف
First of all, you need to install new machine based on 
Windows Server 2012. When server is already installed, 
you have to configure its network card properties to be 
able to start promotion process. As it is Domain 
Controller, server requires static IP address from the 
same subnet or subnet which is routable within a 
network. As directory services rely on DNS server, you 
need to properly point where the service is running. In 
this example additional server is using 192.168.1.1 DNS 
IP address (a forest root domain DC).
After IP address verification and server name change, you can simply startActive 
Directory: Directory Servicesrole installation. As you already know, Windows 
ni taht od ot does not support server promotion over dcpromo, you need2012 Server 
.spets noitallatsni-tsop 
Open Server Manager and click on “Add roles and features ”underDashboard screen 
Active Directory: Directory Services role installation
step (in this article those steps ”Server roles“Using default settings in a wizard go up to 
Active are not described. You may expect their description in another article) and select 
role. Accept also default features which are required Directory Directory Services 
Verify if check box is in proper place and go to the next step during installation. 
Active Directory: Directory Services role installation
As we are adding Domain Controller into existing domain, we need to 
select proper option. It is selected by default, however, please ensure if 
is ”Add a domain controller to an existing domain“you can see that 
selected 
Domain Controller promotion 
When you verified that, place in field with red star DNS domain 
name to which you are promoting DC. Provide Enterprise Administrator 
credentials and go to the next step
Domain Controller promotion
Define if server should be DNS server and Global Catalog. I 
would strongly recommend installing both roles on each Domain 
Controller in your environment. Select a Site to which this DC 
should belongs to and define Directory Services Restoration 
Mode (DSRM) password for this DC
If all prerequisites will pass and you are sure that all setting you have set up properly, you can 
start installation 
Domain Controller promotion 
After you clicked on “Install ”button, wait until wizard will do its job and after server restart you 
will have additional Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller.
