Testing an AD installation
In Installing an AD forest root domain, you installed AD on DC1
. In that recipe, you installed AD (without rebooting) and tested certain services. After the required reboot (which you completed at the end of the previous recipe), it is useful to check to ensure that your domain is fully up and running and working correctly. In this recipe, you examine core aspects of the AD infrastructure on your first DC.
Getting ready
