Do We need to Run the ADPREP32.exe /DomainPrep /gpprep on Child Domain Controller ?


hello ds experts!

i have got 1 forest 1 child domain (forest:xyz.com , child abc.xyz.com) has 2003r2.

i have ran adprep32.exe /forestprep , adprep32.exe /domainprep /gpprep on xyz.com.

so question - still needs run adprep32.exe /domainprep /gpprep on abc.xyz.com ?

while running permission needed run (adprep32.exe /domainprep /gpprep) on abc.xyz.com, because have 1 account in root domain using have ran forestprep , domainprep in root doamin, when ran in child domain - says need part of domain admin of abc.xyz.com,
when try account (which part of schemaadmin,domainadmin, enterpriseadmin root domain) making member of child domain domain admin, wont allow me.

any appriciated

thnaks,
kumar

how set dns?

configuring dns in child domain

you dont require above solution if dns replication scope forestwide.

you can use nslookup dns troubleshooting. see below example.
cmd---nslookup
set q=srv
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.trusteddomain.com
_ldap._tcp.gc._msdcs.trusteddomain.com
_ldap._tcp.pdc._msdcs.trusteddomain.com
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.trustingdomain.com
_ldap._tcp.gc._msdcs.trustingdomain.com
_ldap._tcp.pdc._msdcs.trustingdomain.com

if above test passed can dns seems ok.

to deploy child domain:
dcdiag /test:dcpromo /dnsdomain:child_domain_name.forest.com /childdomain
