	Active Directory Read-Only Domain Controller Experts

Read-Only Domain Controllers in Active Directory
Miles Consulting Corp's Active Directory consultants may deploy a Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) to allow an organization to easily deploy a DC in locations where physical security cannot be guaranteed. RODC hosta a read-only replica of the database in Active Directory Domain Service (AD DS) for any given domain..

Except for account passwords, an RODC holds all the AD DS objects and attributes that a writable DC holds. By default, no user/computer passwords are stored on an RODC.

Branch Office
Read only replica AD DB
Unidirectional replication
Credential caching
read-only AD-integrated DNS zone

	Universal group membership caching automatically enabled for site in which the RODC is deployed
	Read-Only Attribute Set Prevents replication of sensitive information. Requires manual configuration.
	RODC Deployment - Incremental Requirements Windows Server 2003 Forest Functional Mode Multiple Windows Server 2008 DCs per domain are recommended to load balance RODC ewplication.
	RODC is advertised as the Key Distribution Center (KDC) for the branch office. By default an RODC will not store user or computer credentials except for its own computer account and a special "krbtgt" account (the account that is used for Kerberos authentication) Each RODC has a unique "krbtgt" account.
	RODC can be combined with Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption to provide enhanced data security for branch offices through boot-level hard-drive encryption

Delegated Administartion for RODC

RODC: administartors can be different users from domain administrator users. Benefits include:

Prevents accidental modifications of directory data existing outside RODC
Delegated installation and recovery of RODC

Delegated Instalattion and Administartion Process for RODC

(Note: Steps 1 and 2 are not necessarily performed from the same computer)

Pre-Create and Delegate

Domain Administrator uses AD Users and Computers MMC: snap-in to pre-create RODC
Specifies RODC's FQDN and Delegated Administration group

Promote RODC

Delegated Administrator (non-DA) uses DCPROMO Wizard from server to configure as RODC
Replicates over network, with support for secure IFM
Reboots as RODC

IFM is complementry to replication over the network, but it does not replace the need for network replication.
