Probably this is a very easy question for most of the experts here! :)<br />
We want to dcpromo a server in a remote site in order to serve as domain controller for our WIN2K3 domain. The &quot;problem&quot; is that we will send a technician there and we do not want to give him domain admin permissions. Is it possible to allow a &quot;low level&quot; user to promote a server as a domain controller by just giving him limited permissions?<br />
Thank you very much in advance for any response.<br />

Domain admin in order to dcpromo?

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
