Adding RODC

If I want to add a read only domain controller to the network can this be
done after adprep /domainprep has already been run on the domain?

I think I can just do adprep /rodcprep later when I add the RODC.

Hello 2010,

You can wait until you need the first RODC, personal i would do it directly
so you are done. There is no reboot required for each of the adprep commands,
this can be done during business hours.

Best regards

You need to run adprep /rodcprep before you add an RODC to your domain...
