OK, so now I'm asked about How can you remove Active Directory from a domain controller and make it a standalone server again? i know that i should lunch dcpromo and uninstall it but do i have to do it to the both domain controllers on my network or just one?

I'm OK now it turn out that im working in the local policy group, thanks.

I was logged in by administrator account on the server and when enabled the "prohibit access to the control panel" the control panel on the server that im working on had been disabled!! Any help.??

Thanks for the replication test it worked. but now i'm on this How can you stop the users of the domain from accessing the control panel (except the administrators)?

Can you help me about how to test the replication between the 2 dc?

So you are saying that i should install another win 2008 on the vmware and configure the dcpromo on it right?

I installed the roles. for the first dc and dns,ahcp.ac

like this link: http://helewix.com/blog//index.php/Microsoft-Solutions/2011/03/15/server-2008-dcpromo-remove-active-directory-domain-controller-using-dcpromo

OK So now i reached installing the second dc. But the problem that when i go to dcpromo the only available option is to uninstall the first ad dc. and there is no option to add ac to the forest. so what should i do?

Ok that is clear now, So I'm now installing the first domain and they asking me for the (FQDN) is it"submarinefastfood.com" Because they said "called submarinefastfood.com,by building the first domain controller on the network using the Active Directory installation program." But i just want to make sure. OR that will be later. And i want to ask you about the IP that i should but for the server is it a class C as usual, or i should give it class A as I'm building the sever for a large company.

OK so when he is asking about "you will join a Windows server 2008 and a Windows XP Professional machine to the domain" What dose he mean if not installing a virtual machine. And thanks for replying.

I have this situation that i have to deal with and i dont know where to start correctly and i just need the steps that i have to do to build my work correctly i hope you help me: "MR. Submarine is an Ontariobased fast-food company, specialized in healthy food and considered one of the major retailers of submarine sandwiches in the country. MR. Submarine Corp. has hired you on a contract basis, to help with the implementation of a new Windows 2008 domain. You have been given the task of installing the first domain controller on the network at the headquarter office, which will install Active Directory and create a new domain for MR. Submarine Corp. You are also in charge of making sure that all client computers, which have been installed, are able to join the new domain. In this part, you will create a new domain for MR. Submarine Corp., called submarinefastfood.com, by building the first domain controller on the network using the Active Directory installation program. You will then configure DNS to work with Active Directory and test that it is working properly on the network. Once your domain controller is working properly, you will join a Windows server 2008 and a Windows XP Professional machine to the domain. Finally, you will create a second domain controller for higher reliability and better performance on your domain and test replication between the two domain controllers" until now i installed the win server 2008 on a virtual pc and i learned how to build the domain but im still don't know if it need specific configuration, and i don't know how to install win xp virtually inside the server and not understanding where to configure the site . I now that im totally newbie but i just need the Action sequence? Thanks in advance.
