6 Useful PowerShell cmdlets for Windows Server 2016 Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC)

In one of my earlier posts, I showed you to deploy Windows Server 2016 read-only domain controller using server manager. However, if you are using Window Server 2016 core version you only have the option to use PowerShell.

In this article, I have compiled six useful PowerShell cmdlets which can help you to install, configure and manage an RODC on Server 2016 core version.

 

  1. Promoting a server to an RODC

    Install-ADDSDomainController -Credential (Get-Credential) -DomainName -InstallDNS:$true -ReadOnlyReplica:$true -SiteName "" -Force:$true

  2. Getting a list of Denied RODC Replication Group members

    Get-ADGroupMember -Identity "Denied RODC Password Replication Group" | ft DistinguishedName, Name, ObjectClass

  3. Adding user accounts to the Allowed Password Replication Group

    Add-ADGroupMember -Identity 'Allowed RODC Password Replication Group' -Members -Confirm:$false

  4. Getting a list of Allowed RODC Replication Group members

    Get-ADGroupMember -Identity "Allowed RODC Password Replication Group" | ft DistinguishedName, Name, ObjectClass

  5. Prepopulating user passwords

    Sync-ADObject -Source ‑Destination -PasswordOnly

  6. Getting the list of accounts with passwords stored on the RODC

    Get-ADDomainControllerPasswordReplicationPolicyUsage -Identity "" ‑RevealedAccounts | ft Name,ObjectClass
