4. Access the module at its IP address using RDP. Log in to Windows as the
SBMAdmin user, entering the new password that you set.
5. Access the Windows Server Manager.
6. Use the wizard to add the Active Directory role, and promote the server
to a read-only domain controller for your domain. At the same time, you
can configure DNS on the server.
Basically, you follow the same process for adding a normal domain
controller to your domain; however, you select read-only domain control-
ler (RODC) when you run dcpromo. Make sure that the module has
connectivity to the domain controller at the main office and that the
domains and forest are set up correctly on that domain controller.
Refer to Microsoft documentation for complete instructions on this task.
7. After the module becomes a read-only domain controller, it restarts. Log
in again as a domain user with server administrator rights. You can then
add the other roles and features for this solution:
• Active Directory Certification Authority Services (Intermediate Cer-
tification Authority)
•NPS
• DHCP
•IIS
• Print Services
• File Services
Again, follow Microsoft guidelines for installing and configuring these
services. No special considerations apply to the server running on this
module that would not apply to another branch office server.
8. You can then install any other desired roles, features, and applications. As
with any server, you must follow the guidelines provided by Microsoft or
an application’s vendor to determine whether and how your server and
environment can support the desired service.
