This checklist worked well. &nbsp;I would add '<a href="https://www.petri.com/prepare-for-server-2008-r2-domain-controller" rel="ugc">https://www.petri.com/prepare-for-server-2008-r2-domain-controller</a> to make it more complete. For people that do not perform these functions often, petri frequently does a great job with images and step-by-step instructions.

A person may also want to review <a href="https://www.petri.com/prepare-for-server-2008-r2-domain-controller" rel="ugc">https://www.petri.com/prepare-for-server-2008-r2-domain-controller</a>&nbsp;in addition to this checklist. &nbsp;Worked great.
