In the previous post<\/a>, we covered the installation of Windows Server 2008R2 Enterprise.
Now in the next couple of posts, we will cover the process of deploying Active Directory onto our Windows Server 2008R2 Virtual Machine, then migrating the FSMO Roles to a new server, and finally removing the old 2008R2 Domain Controller and completing a meta-data cleanup of the domain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the 2008R2 Virtual Machine, Open Server Manager and Roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
