First available in Windows 2003, you will create a copy of the system state from an existing DC and copy it to the new remote server. Run "Dcpromo /adv". You will be prompted for the location of the system state files

===================================

Answer B:

Backup system state as;

  1. Click Start, click Run, type ntbackup, and then click OK. (If the Backup utility starts in wizard mode, click the Advanced Mode hyperlink.)
  2. From the Backup tab, click to select the System State check box in the left pane. Do not back up the file system part of the SYSVOL tree separately from the system state backup.
  3. In the Backup media or file name box, specify the drive, path, and file name of the system state backup.
name the file .bak (recommended and general)

Restore system stat as below on the target computer;

  1. Log on to the Windows Server 2003-based computer that you want to promote. You must be a member of the local administrators group on this computer.
  2. Click Start, click Run, type ntbackup, and then click OK. (If the Backup utility starts in wizard mode, click the Advanced Mode hyperlink.)
  3. In the Backup utility, click the Restore and Manage Media tab. In the Tools menu, click Catalog a backup file..., and then locate the .bkf file that you created earlier. Click OK.
  4. Expand the contents of the .bkf file, and then click to select the System State check box.
  5. In Restore files to:, click Alternate Location. To restore the system state, type the logical drive and the path. We suggest that you type X:\Ntdsrestore. In this command, X is the logical drive that will ultimately host the Active Directory database when the member computer is promoted. The final location for the Active Directory database is selected when you run the Active Directory Installation Wizard. This folder must be different from the folder that contains the restored system state.
Now Last stage is Promoting an additional domain controller
  1. Verify that the domain controller that is to be promoted has DNS name resolution and network connectivity to existing domain controllers in the domain controller's target domain.
  2. Click Start, click Run, type dcpromo /adv, and then click OK.
  3. Click Next to bypass the Welcome to the Active Directory Installation Wizard and Operating System Compatibility dialog boxes.
  4. On the Domain Controller Type page, click Additional domain controller for an existing domain, and then click Next.
  5. On the Copying Domain Information page, click From these restored backup files:, and then type the logical drive and the path of the alternative location where the system state backup was restored. Click Next.
  6. In Network Credentials, type the user name, the password, and the domain name of an account that is a member of the domain administrators group for the domain that you are promoting in.
  7. Continue with the remainder of the Active Directory Installation Wizard pages as you would with the standard promotion of an additional domain controller.
  8. After the SYSVOL tree has replicated in, and the SYSVOL share exists, delete any remaining restored system files and folders.

Why can you remote in to your Windows 2003 server but can't get the server and your computer to see each other?

Make sure the settings are correct. I know you looked at them a thousand times but,, 255.255.255.000 And make sure 192.168.00#.00# . if you use 168.192.00#.00# this will cause an administrator setting in your computer which conflicts with you servers programmed dominance. Placing 168 first is cool to use on small home/office networks cause you can see them but they can';t see you. :>) Sorry but I think the question "What can you do to promote a server to DC if you're in a remote location with slow WAN link" is different. There may be many scenario's wherein you have to build a DC remotely and connection speed is slow. It may take a very long time to build the DC. The solution for this is the new feature called New Domain Controller from Replica. Steps Involved are Take a NTBackup from a DC Put in a disk and ship it to the desired location Restore to the prospective New DC Decrease initial replication load

How do you make content downloadable from a website?

You must first upload it to the server using your content management system, or through FTP. Depending on the type of access you have, you may have to ask your web developer or host to do this for you. They may charge you for this service depending on your maintenance agreement etc. Once the file is on the server, a link to the file must be added to the public side of your site that is pointed to the file's location on the server. Clicking that link will send a request for the file.
