I am trying to promote a Windows Server 2012 R2 to a domain controller in an existing
domain containing two Windows 2008 domain controllers. The current domain functional level is Windows Server 2008. When I run the Wizard on the Win2012r2 server it creates this Powershell script:
#
# Windows PowerShell script for AD DS Deployment
#
Import-Module ADDSDeployment
Install-ADDSDomainController `
-NoGlobalCatalog:$false `
-CreateDnsDelegation:$false `
-CriticalReplicationOnly:$false `
-DatabasePath "C:\Windows\NTDS" `
-DomainName "mydomain.local" `
-InstallDns:$true `
-LogPath "C:\Windows\NTDS" `
-NoRebootOnCompletion:$false `
-SiteName "Default-First-Site-Name" `
-SysvolPath "C:\Windows\SYSVOL" `
-Force:$true
When the prerequisite check runs it returns the following error:
Windows Server 2012 domain controllers have a default for the security setting named
"Allow cryptography algorithms compatible with Windows NT 4.0" that prevents weaker
cryptography algorithms when establishing security channel sessions.
For more information about this setting, see Knowledge Base article 942564
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=104751).
A delegation for this DNS server cannot be created because the authoritative parent zone
cannot be found or it does not run Windows DNS server. If you are integrating with an
existing DNS infrastructure, you should manually create a delegation to this DNS server
in the parent zone to ensure reliable name resolution from outside the domain
"mydomain.local". Otherwise, no action is required.
Verification of prerequisites for Active Directory preparation failed. Unable to perform
Exchange schema conflict check for domain mydomain.local.
Exception: Server execution failed.
Adprep could not retrieve data from the server PDC.mydomain.local through Windows
Managment Instrumentation (WMI).
[User Action]
Check the log file ADPrep.log in the C:\Windows\debug\adprep\logs\20141211091657-test
directory for possible cause of failure.
Prerequisites Check Completed
One or more prerequisites failed. Please fix these issues and click "Rerun
prerequisites check"
The important failure is the "unable to perform Exchange schema conflict check", as it
will not let me continue with the server promotion.
