Some wizard pages in the Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard appear only if you select the Use advanced mode installation check box on the Welcome to the Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard page of the wizard.
Advanced mode installation provides experienced users with more control over the installation process, without confusing newer users with configuration options that may not be familiar. For users who do not select the Use advanced mode installation check box, the wizard uses default options that apply to most configurations.
The Use advanced mode installation option on the Welcome page of the wizard is an alternative to running dcpromo at a command prompt with the /adv switch (dcpromo /adv).
The following table lists the additional wizard pages that appear for each deployment configuration when you select the Use advanced mode installation check box.
