In the lab workflow, which server role is installed when the server is promoted to a domain controller for a new forest?

The lab promotes the Windows Server to a **Domain Controller** for a new Active Directory forest, and DNS is included in that deployment so the domain can resolve names and locate directory services. The other options are not the role identified by the promotion procedure. DHCP provides address configuration, IIS hosts web applications, and File and Storage Services manages storage functions. The domain controller’s DNS service is then used by the client during domain joining. **Key takeaway:** Domain-controller deployment in this lab includes DNS.\n\n**Glossary:** **Domain Controller (DC)**: A server that provides Active Directory domain services. **DNS**: The system that resolves names to network records.
