Do I need to worry about anything else besides following through the wizard? Such as FSMO, etc?
Any things that I should be aware of to avoid screwing up the existing AD?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can install Secondary domain controller which is called as Child Domain controller ,and the procedure is same as how you install a domain controller ,the steps are ,goto start--run--type (Dcpromo) and select child domain controller instead of Domain Controller and the steps are the same this will install child domain controller.
