RabbieBurns Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 trying to dcpromo a 2008r2 core server, but having problems with the unattend file: Can anyone paste me a sample please?
AngryTechnician Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 This is what I used (anonymised, obviously) [DCINSTALL] UserName=DOMAIN\AdminAT UserDomain=domain.internal Password=mypassword SiteName=DOM ReplicaOrNewDomain=replica ReplicaDomainDNSName=domain.internal DatabasePath="C:\NTDS" LogPath="C:\Logs" SYSVOLPath="C:\Sysvol" InstallDNS=yes ConfirmGC=yes SafeModeAdminPassword=mypassword RebootOnCompletion=no 1
RabbieBurns Posted February 17, 2011 Author Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks. Im not sure what the SiteName=DOM line is.. Whats its equievelnet when you use the GUI ?
AngryTechnician Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 No idea, I've only ever promoted using the command line. You can find out what it should be by opening up ADSIEdit, connecting to the Configuration context, and looking in the Sites container. Your site will be listed as CN=whatever with the class site. Take whatever and that's what you put as your SiteName=.
RabbieBurns Posted February 19, 2011 Author Posted February 19, 2011 I just removed that line, and it worked fine and just used the default. Cheers for your help, I now have a nice Core edition DC
SYNACK Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 You can make and save an unattend with the GUI on another server which makes it easier. 1
