Thanks
Brian/Dan, this is now up and running perfectly. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Holme Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 8:00 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DCPromo Answer file....no DNS. No. DCPromo looks
ONLY at the DCPromo section. Run Sysoc.inf against
the answer file. For a ‘fresh’ dc, run
SYSOC.INF followed by DCPROMO as your two commands in the [GUIRunOnce]
Section From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
On Behalf Of Smith,
Brad The bit that threw me
is that my DCPromo process ignored the section [NetOptionalComponents] DNS =
1 Hence first
invoking. C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\SYSOCMGR
/I:C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\SYSOC.INF
/u:C:\my_answer_file.txt Also
FYI - This is not the first DC on the network, and is not the first AD based DNS
server either (obviously). This is being run after the machine has been sitting
on the network, in the domain as a member server for a couple of days (to allow
for patching and prove the h/w isn't immediately faulty). This is all
W2K3. Should
DCPromo be actioning the [NetOptionalComponents] section
? From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
On Behalf Of Dan Holme To clarify what Brian
meant, you run dcpromo
/answer:answer_file [GUIRunOnce] dcpromo
/answer:answer_file DNSOnNetwork =
No Setting, which installs
DNS on the server. That only works for the FIRST dc in the
forest. [NetOptionalComponents] DNS =
1 From:

Desmond You
have DNS installed? You need to use the sysoc stuff (look it up in the ref.chm
in deploy.cab) to install DNS
first… From:

All, I
have set up a Win2K domain (single DC, SP3) and have joined a Win2K3 member
server. I have promoted the W2K3 Member server using a dcpromo answer
file, but cannot seem to force it to install
DNS. Any
ideas ?? Brad
