Server 2016 Core Domain Controller
Purpose
To build a domain controller from Server 2016 Core. In this case I am running in AWS as the hub to spoke sites that may run their own DCs. Nothing else should run on this system.
Installation
[1] This is assuming you have created a computer object in an existing domain that has firewall and other options set via group policy. In this case we will also be making use of AWS's ACL.
- Running from powershell, either using ps-remote or RDP.
- Run all updates.
