NOTE
It??™s important to remember that you can??™t use WMIC to promote your server to a domain
controller. You also can??™t use the OCSetup utility to perform the task. The correct utility to perform
a promotion is the DCPromo utility. To use the DCPromo utility, simply type
DCPromo
at
the command line and press Enter. If you want to use advanced options with DCPromo, include
the
/adv
command line switch. When you have an answer file to use with the DCPromo utility,
include the
/answer:
Filename
command line switch, where
Filename
is the name of the file
you want to use. You can learn about how DCPromo works at

.
When working with the CREATE action, you only have access to the DomainGuid property. The
system automatically generates a Domain Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) when you promote
the system to a domain controller. If you??™re using the system only for a local network, the GUID
provided should be unique. Even though the GUID should be unique everywhere, there is a small
chance that you could find it repeated due to the technique used by the Open System Foundation
(OSF) algorithm of basing part of the GUID on the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the Network
Interface Card (NIC) in your server.
