How to Setup & Utilize RODC on Server 2008 Server Core
Read-Only Domain Controller in Server 2008 and Server Core provides an added level of security. RODC is best utilized on servers in remote locations or where the physical security of the server cannot be guaranteed.
RODC is also useful in situations where you have poor network bandwidth, a computer without the resources needed for a full install of Server 2008, or when you don’t have a user with enough expertise to have access to the domain-wide AD DS database.
Do you need a full Domain Controller for a branch office of 5 people? No, you really don’t. Using Windows Server Core and RODC you can create an great experience for your remote users that’s more secure and cheaper to implement.
Today I’m going to show you how to turn your Server Core into a RODC. This is going to be a little different than deploying RODC on a full install of Server 2008 that Coach showed you because we’re restricted to the command prompt.
