3:53 why this "promote this server to Domain controller" is not appearing on my device? Can u help please

[MichaelCena]

It seems like I promoted a server without knowing I did. I thought once a server was part of the domain controller I then needed to “promote it to be the main”. From watching this video it seems like promoting a server dc to be the main is not a thing. Once join to the domain controller, do all my servers have the same level of privilege/leadership? My goal was to decommission my old server (the first server) and promote the last server I added but it seems I have “promoted it” already if your video is what promoting means.

thanks for the useful video!
and I have to ask one.
don't I have to use ipv6?

[uzbylls]

Thank you for posting the video. My issue is, do I need to change to a static IP address when promoting a server to domain controller? Will there be any issues if I utilize the IP assigned by DHCP server?

[StevenLastname]

Will this promotion work if there is already a DNS server in place? Also, if I have an existing DNS server, and would like to make a new one the primary DNS server, what needs to be done with the pre-existing DNS server, if anything?
