DCPROMO contains a

According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223757/en-us the SetForestVersion entry
in the dcpromo answer file can only be used to set FFL to 1 or 0 when building

Is this correct? I'd like to automate the

Re: [ActiveDir] Setting FFL=2 automatically when building first DC in forest
This is a real problem for me. I've got no qualms about doing things in an
unsupported fashion, as I feel I know what I'm doing. However, our
customers won't have any of it. Especially as we won't be around to help
support it, etc.
Another example is replicating NDNCs. Apparently, I can't script the
population of mSDS-NC-Replica-Locations, I can only get bridgeheads that
don't, for example, run DNS to replicate the DNS NDNCs by using the
applicable NTDSUTIL options. I doubt NTDSUTIL is doing anything different
to my script (in this one instance of course) but the DSE said that my
script was unsupported.
I'd be interested in knowing why some of these switches in the answer file
only work under select circumstances. As it seems that doing so is going to
force some people to do one of two things:
-- Perform unsupported tasks to automate their DC promotions
-- Write a number of pre- and post-promotion scripts, which can be a pain
as it adds additional complexity to the automation environment, etc.
[I hope] Longhorn should have better support for these options as the new
DCPROMO UI alows you to select GC, etc.

Let's just hope that Longhorn enables us to build machines (DCs) in a

Title: Setting FFL=2 automatically when building first DC in forest
It might be worth looking at the
%systemroot%\system32\schema.ini file again. I just had a poke around in
there after reading Dean's answer to your question yesterday and the first
section, the [DEFAULTROOTDOMAIN] section is setting nTMixedMode.
You can change that to 0 (for native) and try adding
mSDS-Behavior-Version and setting it to 2.
I don't know if that will work, but you're
probably in a position to test this...

According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223757/en-us the SetForestVersion entry
in the dcpromo answer file can only be used to set FFL to 1 or 0 when building
a new forest.
Is this correct? I'd like to automate the
transition to FFL=2 when building the first DC in a forest (without a

Perhaps another change request for Longhorn?

RE: [ActiveDir] Setting FFL=2 automatically when building first DC in forest
Title: Setting FFL=2 automatically when building first DC in forest
As we English like to say on an unbelievably regular basis
same again please. In this context however, Im
referring to the file I mentioned earlier this week, the SCHEMA.INI.
Locate the [Partitions] section, roughly 9 or 10 lines below that
youll see the line
msDs-Behavior-Version=$REGISTRY=InstallForestBehaviorVersion
erase the $REGISTRY=InstallForestBehaviorVersion
and hard code the value to 2 (Id recommend taking a copy of the existing
line first and prefixing that copy with a semi-colon to comment it out). The
result should be
msDs-Behavior-Version=2
; msDs-Behavior-Version=$REGISTRY=InstallForestBehaviorVersion

RE: [ActiveDir] Setting FFL=2 automatically when building first DC in forest
Title: Setting FFL=2 automatically when building first DC in forest
Thats v. close my mint-sauce-fearing friend but its
likely that that will set only the dom. func. level to K3 native (though to be
honest Ive not tried). So, since forests tend to drag domains with
them, functional level wise, (i.e. when a new domain is created within an existing
forest), we simply need to tell the forest func. level to seed itself with a
value of 2 see my previous post for instructions on how to do that.

I dont believe DCpromo accepts an arg. that redirects its
attention to an alternate schema.ini but, to be honest, Ive not looked
that closely since editing is easy enough (opinion-wise though I doubt it
does one of us here would have likely stumbled across it before now).

It might be
worth looking at the %systemroot%\system32\schema.ini file again. I
just had a poke around in there after reading Dean's answer to your question
yesterday and the first section, the [DEFAULTROOTDOMAIN] section is setting
nTMixedMode.
You can change that to 0 (for native) and try adding mSDS-Behavior-Version
and setting it to 2.
I don't know if

RE: [ActiveDir] Setting FFL=2 automatically when building first DC in forest
Not that I'm aware of. To my mind, the goal of most unattend files is to
remove or reduce human interaction by answering questions presented by a
user-interface, maybe a wizard-ized process or perhaps even 'tweak' a
behavior slightly. Editing such discreet and specific values of the
resulting system (in this case, system-purposed attributes in AD) is beyond
an unattend file's scope.

Is this stuff you can't do in the unattend.txt and specify an answer
file to dcpromo?
Thanks,

Touching schema.ini would qualify as very not supported ...

I
just had a poke around in there after reading Dean's answer to your
question yesterday and the first section, the [DEFAULTROOTDOMAIN]
section is setting nTMixedMode. You can change that to 0 (for
native)
and try adding mSDS-Behavior-Version and setting it to 2.
I don't know if that will work, but you're probably in a position
to
test this...

According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223757/en-us the
SetForestVersion entry in the dcpromo answer file can only be used to
set FFL to 1 or 0 when building a new forest.
Is this correct? I'd like to automate the transition to FFL=2
when
building the first DC in a forest (without a script).
Perhaps another change request for Longhorn? :)

RE: [ActiveDir] Setting FFL=2 automatically when building first DC in forest
Granted ... though perhaps a moot point to those (on the consumer side of
the fence) capable of using such a tweak since proving such usage is
challenging to say the least.
Aside, since its purpose has been well served twice in as many days and on 2
unrelated topics, maybe it could be considered a feature suggestion ...
