    Windows 2008 Core Read Only Domain Controller Script

    1. Enter the productkey:
    slmgr.vbs -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

    2. Activate:
    slmgr.vbs -ato

    3. Show activation:
    slmgr.vbs -dli

    4. Rename the computer:
    Netdom renamecomputer WIN-???????? /newname:W2K8RDC01 /reboot:15
    (use the command set to view all the variables used by Microsoft Windows)

    5. Show all network interfaces:
    Netsh interface ipv4 show interface

    6. Set a static IP address:
    Netsh interface ipv4 set address name=2 source=static address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx mask=255.255.255.0 gateway=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    (make sure that you’re choosing the right network interface. In this example it’s 2, so name=2 it means interface 2)

    7. Set a static DNS server:
    Netsh interface ipv4 add dnsserver name=2 address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx index=1

    8. Turn Remote Desktop (RDP) on:
    Cscript %windir%system32SCRegEdit.wsf /ar 0

    9. Enable Remote Desktop (RDP) in the Windows Firewall:
    netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=”remote desktop” new enable=yes

    10. Enable Remote Management (RemoteCMD) in the Windows Firewall:
    netsh firewall set service type=remoteadmin mode=enable 

    11. Join the domain:
    Netdom join W2K8RDC01 /domain:adtest.local /usero:administrator /passwordo:*
    (This step is only for joining a member server to the domain. For a Domain Controller go to step 12)

    12. Preparing the promotion to a Read Only Domain Controller:
    We need to create a unattend.txt that we are going to use by the DCPROMO. So let’s create a new textfile, type notepad

    13. Making the unattended.txt:
    Copy and past the following test into the new textfile and save this file on the C: drive of the Core Server.

    ==================================================
    [DCInstall]
    InstallDNS=Yes
    ConfirmGc=Yes
    CriticalReplicationOnly=No

    Windows 2008 Core Configurator Download

     

    Ik vond een nice tooltje om Windows Core mee te configureren. Het tootlje is gemaakt door voormalig MVP Guy Teverovsky. Het tooltje heet dan ook Core Configurator.
    Hij geeft dit tooltje gemaakt in prive tijd maar dit heeft dit van zijn voormalige werkgever of line moeten halen. Zie het verhaal hier.

    Hoezo voor malig MVP: Hij heeft zijn MVP Titel moeten inleveren toen hij voor Microsoft ging werken in Isreal.

    Downloaden:
    CoreConfigurator.cab
    Coreconfigurator.zip

    En zo ziet het tooltje er uit:

    Deploying Windows Server 2003 R2 using MDT 2008

    1. Voeg in MDT onder Operating System de Windows 2003 R2 CD1 toe.
    Maak hier voor ook gelijk een Task toe.
    Locatie in mijn geval:
    D:DistributionOperating SystemsWindows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise SP2 Eng x86

    2. Maak de volgende structuur lijkend op deze
    D:Distribution
    -Operating System
    –Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise SP2 Eng x86
    —$OEM$
    —-$1
    —–R2

    3. Van de Windows Server 2003 R2 CD2, kopieer de CMPNENTS map naar D:DistributionOperating SystemsWindows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise SP2 Eng x86$OEM$$1R2

    4. In de OEM$$1R2 map maak een batch bestand aan genaamd InstallR2.cmd (met de onderstaande tekst er in)

    reg add HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSetup /v SourcePath /t REG_SZ /d C:WindowsSourcei386 /f
    reg add HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSetup /v ServicePackSourcePath /t REG_SZ /d C:R2CMPNENTSR2 /f
    C:\R2CMPNENTSR2setup2.exe /q /a /sr

    Opmerking: Er zijn 3 regels. Regel 1 & 2 beginnen met  "reg", regel 3 begint met "C:R2".

    4. Pas de Windows Server 2003 R2 X86 Task Sequence aan.
    Pas de [GUIRunOnce] sectie in Unattend.txt aan zoals het hier onderstaat:
    [GUIRunOnce]
        "C:R2InstallR2.cmd"
        "cscript.exe C:MININTScriptsLiteTouch.wsf /start"
        "cscript.exe D:MININTScriptsLiteTouch.wsf /start"
        "cscript.exe E:MININTScriptsLiteTouch.wsf /start"
        "cscript.exe F:MININTScriptsLiteTouch.wsf /start"

    Opmerking: Wil je de melding Windows Server Post-Setup Security Updates scherm niet krijgen moet je onder staan regel gebruiken.

    Option 1:

    Set "HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionServerOOBESecurityOOBEDontLaunchSecurityOOBE" to "0"

    Option 2:

    Wil je Windows Firewall uitgeschakeld hebben voeg deze regels dan toe in unattend.xml

    [WindowsFirewall]
    Profiles = WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall

    [WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall]
    Mode = 0
