When installing active directory on a Windows 2008 R2 server the error message:

Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard

The local Administrator account becomes the domain Administrator account when you create a new domain. The new domain cannot be created because the local Administrator account password does not meet requirements.
Currently, a password is not required for the local Administrator account. We recommend that you use the net user command-line tool with the /passwordreq:yes option to require a password for this account before you create the new domain; otherwise, a password will not be required for the domain Administrator account.
At a command prompt run:
net user administrator /passwordreq:yes

Preventing deletion of desktop icons
How to prevent deleting desktop icons
Log in to client pc with the domain administrators account.
Navigate to the user's profile folder, and open it.
Take ownership of the desktop folder, and de-select the inherit permissions check box.
Remove the user from the permissions access list. Then re-add him. The users permissions now should be read, execute, and and list.
Then copy the shortcuts to desktop of domain users.
Note:
Make sure that you should logon to client pc at least one time to have the user’s profiles like Desktop.
Can be implemented in domain and in work group too.

To disable auto login network share folders
/ comment is that everytime when we accesses network machines for eg: 192.168.1.2, it automatically opens. The first time, there was a prompt for the username and password. Now it never does that.
cmd-> net use \\IPorDOMAIN /del
Eg: cmd-> net use \\192.168.1.2 /del
Now windows can store login information for network locations and websites as follows:
start-->run--> rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr
cmd-> net use \\IPorDOMAIN /del
Eg: cmd-> net use \\192.168.1.2 /del
Now windows can store login information for network locations and websites as follows:
start-->run--> rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr

Windows Server Backup Step-by-Step Guide for Windows Server 2008
Windows Server Backup Step-by-Step Guide for Windows Server 2008 can be viewed from the link from here
Note: You can no longer back up to tape. (However, support of tape storage drivers is still included in Windows Server 2008.) Windows Server Backup supports backing up to external and internal disks, DVDs, and shared folders.
NTbackup earlier in (windows 2003 server) was Veritas, since Veritas is now Symantec, they probably did not come to an agreement. Note, that the entire disk management suite has been rewritten, because the original one was Veritas as well.
