Raise domain/forest functional levels in Server 2008 core

Asked by mukulag in Windows 2003 Server, Active Directory

Tags: Microsoft, Windows Server 2008 core, Windows Server 2008 core

I have installed Server 2008 core in my test lab and have installed AD DS on the same as well. However before running dcpromo, I forgot to change the server name. When I try to change the server name it asks to raise the domain and forest functional levels. I can very well install AD DS on another Server 2008 for the same domain and then raise the domain and forest functional levels from the GUI. However I am curious to know if the same can be done on Server 2008 core.

In nutshell: Is there an option to raise the domain and forest funtional levels in Server 2008 core? Start Free Trial
