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.
