Promote Server Core (ds replication server)


i'm working in vmware testing environment 2 2008 server installations. first 1 full server install, promoted domain controler (server01). second 1 server core installation (server02) want operate replication server. 

i got stuck when execute following cmd in order setup te core dc:

 

 c:\>dcpromo /unattend /replicaornewdomain:replica

 /replicadomaindnsname:contoso.
 com /confirmgc:yes /username:contoso\administrator
 /password:* /safemodeadminpas
 sword:p@ssword

checking if active directory domain services binaries
> installed...
> active directory domain services setup
>
> validating environment , parameters...
>
> must supply name of domain this
> user account belongs...

yes, did replaced * domainadmin password ;)

i assume has someting authentication domain.

hope guys can me out of one, thnx! 

instead of using /username:contoso\administrator should use /userdomain:contoso /username:administrator. furthermore, shoud refrain using netbios domain name of domain, instead use qualified domain name (fqdn) of active directory domain.

your dcpromo one-liner look like this:

dcpromo.exe /unattend /userdomain:domain /username:administrator
/password:* /installdns:yes
/replicaornewdomain:replica
/replicadomaindnsname:contoso.local /confirmgc:yes
/safemodeadminpassword:"p@ssw0rd"
