Windows Server 2008 / Longhorn”RODC Deployment Requirements

[Build1] The single requirement is to set Windows Server 2003 Forest Functional Mode (because of linked value replication) and one domain controller running Windows Server "Longhorn." This domain controller must hold the PDC emulator operations master role for the domain to create the new KrbTGT account for the RODC. The RODC needs to forward authentication requests to a domain controller running Windows Server "Longhorn." [Build2] No patching to down-level DC or clients are needed at all. No domain restructuring is required.

Long Horn beta 3 – Wondows Server 2008 – Read Only Domain Controller

The new Windows Server 2008 includes a new set of features such as the Role of a Read Only Domain Controller (RODC). This new feature will become very use full at Remote Branch Offices where little security is available. Some of the benefits RODC offers are:

Unidirectional Replication

Because no changes are written directly to the RODC and therefore do not originate locally, writable domain controllers that are replication partners do not have to pull changes from the RODC.

Credential Caching

Credential caching is the storage of user or computer credentials. Credentials consist of a small set of approximately 10 passwords that are associated with security principals.

More information later this week!
