Which setup goes first?

[Dukester0122]

In Windows server 2003, which setup needs to be installed first - AD,DNS,DHCP or WINS?

if you run dcpromo first, i think it will configure the rest within the setup.. either way, it will tell you.

dcpromo will install AD+DNS
DHCP+WINS, u need to isntall by yourself
either sequece is fine.

Benlu is correct, but there is one exception you should be aware of. If you already have AD running and are adding a new DC, then DNS is not automatically installed. You would need to install it after running DCPROMO.

I hope you find this post helpful.
