The first DC Windows Server 2008 R2 R2

To use the first Windows Server 2008 R2 on a network, there are no prerequisites. The operating system can coexist with older versions. But when the function to be fulfilled is Domain Controler, there are some prerequisites to be met.

a) There can be Windows NT 4.0 and BDC in red.Deben be removed prior to all DC Windows 2000 Server, as the minimum required version level Domain and Forest functionality to have Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 is Windows 2000 Native.

b) We must prepare the Forest and Domain to support the inclusion of the new version of SOIncluso if the Forest was prepared for Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2008 R2, the schema is different.

Windows 2000 -> Version 13
Windows 2003 -> Version 30

Windows 2003R2 -> Version 31

Windows 2008 -> Version 44

Windows 2008R2 -> Version 47

Windows Server 2008 R2 only 64-bits, but includes a version of adprep that works in 32 bits (called adprerp32) in case the network structure where you only want to run 32-bit DC.

To prepare the Forest, the Schema Master run:
adprerp / forestprep

To prepare the domain, the Infrastructure Master run:
adprep / domainprep

For which team meets functions Schema Master and Infrastructure Master run:

netdom query fsmo

The 32 bits of "adprep" is used in the same way, just remember that is called "adprep32", both are in the same directory DVD in Windows Server 2008 R2.

c) The level domain must be at least Windows 2000 Nativo.Preparar the Forest or Domain does not raise the level of functionality by itself, must be raised manually.

To raise the domain: 1.Open

"Active Directory Users and Computers."

2.In the console, press right-click the domain that you want to raise, and click on "Raise Domain Functional Level." 3.Select

level available in the list, and click on "Raise."

2.In the console, right-click button "Active Directory Domains and Trusts ", and click on" Raise Forest Functional Level. "

3.Select

level available in the list, and click on" Raise ".

The idea of \u200b\u200bthis paper is not to describe all the new features in R2, but simply mention some small changes that justify upgrade Windows Server 2008 installed.

1) Look and Feel: May seem simple, but I really find it very useful to have available improved display Windows 7 on a server operating system. I am not referring to the Aero interface, but the possibility of anchoring the windows on the sides or to shake a window to minimize the rest.

2) Wbadmin: R2 Now we can perform a file backup granularity. For those not using Windows Server 2008 this may not be new, because previous versions and could be done. But Windows Server 2008 takes backup image files, making simple operations of backup and restore, even on other hardware. The problem was that we had to take backup the entire hard drive. Now we can have both benefits R2: take backup image file and file granularity.

3) Server Core: With server core can now use Power Shell. Net (at least one sub-set). This allows us to greatly expand the usefulness of a server core installation and gives us the ability to use our scripts in Power Shell.

4) Hyper-V: You can use virtual machines with up to 64 logical CPUs. While this is important only if we have a hardware capable of providing this amount to our virtual machines, when presented the opportunity is great to access this feature.

5) AD Recycle Bin: Any administrator who needs to recover a deleted user or OU, know this is not a simple operation. AD Recycle Bin completely changes how to retrieve objects that were deleted (and still are in the trash). Clarified that the Forest functional level must be Windows Server 2008 R2 before using this feature.

6) BitLocker to Go: Especially useful if you're using Windows 7, allows us to use BitLocker on mobile devices like pen drives encrypted.

Not

worth recalling that R2 is only available in 64-bit platform (x64), so there is no 32-bit version (x86).
