The improvements to the Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard
are all available by default. However, some wizard pages appear only if you select the use of advanced mode installation. 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 new option on the welcome page of the wizard enables advanced mode installation as an alternative to execute dcpromo at a command prompt.
