接下来，就可以按照通常的方法来安装Windows Server 2008 的域控制器。具体提升的步骤我在此不在描述。
提升完成后，如何验证该域控制器是否工作正常呢？我们可以通过下面的工具来判断：
" Active Directory 站点和服务
" DNS管理器
" 事件查看器
" Netdiag.exe
" Dcdiag.exe
" Repadmin.exe
" Ntfrsutl.exe
" Gpotool.exe
下面举一些例子来说明，当你在域控制器上运行repadmin /showreps命令后，如果出现类似下面的结果则说明目录服务复制工作正常。
SITE_NAME\DC1_NAME

当你在域控制器上运行ntfrsutl sets dc_name命令后出现类似下面的结果，说明FRS复制也正常。

当你在域控制器上运行gpotool /dc:dcname /verbose命令后出现类似下面的结果，说明活动目录和SYSVOL中的组策略是一致的。
