Scenario Prepare a presentation for the ADcorp company
which has implemented Active Direcotory 2008 (adcorp.local) and how approximately 10,000 objects (users, computer, printers) in the Active Directory. The reason for this presentation is ADcorp is pursuing acquiring another organization called GoodPurchase with an existing Active Directory 2003 domain (gdpurchase.local) with 5,000 objects. In your presentation, you are to present how ADcorp will integrate the organization under one forest, how accounts between the domain will work, functional forest level and domain levels, GPOs, etc. Use what you have learned in this course to demonstrate the ability to bring the two organizations.

Look Before You Leap!“What may people forget is before you can
raise your forest and domain functional level, you need to update to perform forest and domain preps to upgrade the Schema?”

install a domain controller that runs Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 by running adprep /domainprep
• Prepare the forest for read-only domain controllers (RODCs), if you plan to install them, by running adprep /rodcprep
