3. Run Cygwin as Administrator, then run the following command with the listed options:

   $ ssh-host-config
   *** Query: Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no) yes
   
   *** Query: Do you want to install sshd as a service?
   *** Query: (Say "no" if it is already installed as a service) (yes/no) yes
   *** Query: Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon: [] ntsec mintty
   
   *** Query: Do you want to use a different name? (yes/no) no
   *** Query: Please enter the password for user 'cyg_server':
   *** Query: Reenter:
   

4. Create rsyncd.conf file

   vi /etc/rsyncd.conf
   uid = root
   max connections = 50
   syslog facility = local5
   pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
   
   [coop]
     path = /cygdrive/d/coop
     hosts allow = 142.103.236.30
     read only = yes
   

5. Install rsyncd as a service

   cygrunsrv --install "rsyncd" --path /usr/bin/rsync --args "--daemon --no-detach" \
    --desc "Starts a rsync daemon for accepting incoming rsync connections" \
    --disp "Rsync Daemon" --type auto

6. Start the rsyncd service

   net start rsyncd

7. Open ports 22 and 873 on Windows Firewall

Promote the server to be a domain controller

1. Installed Active Directory Domain Services on the server.
2. Run adprep /forestprep & adprep /domainprep on current domain controller (coopsvr.sciencecoop.ubc.ca)
3. Run dcpromo on batta to add a second domain controller ( Instructions on installing an additional domain controller)
4. Send netlogon.dns to NMC (http://web.it.ubc.ca/forms/network/), ask them to add the entries to the DNS server.
5. run dcdiag to test connectivity between two domain controllers.
