Install Active Directory from a media to save initial replication time
If you need to setup Active Directory on another location and you don’t much bandwith you can install it from a media.
On the source AD create the files to copy to the media:
#ntdsutil
#activate instance ntds
#ifm
#create rodc c:\temp
For a Read Only Domain Controller
#create full c:\temp
For a Standard Domain Controller
#quit
#quit
Check the files and copy it to a media. On the new DC you can choose the files for the first replication
