7.5.1 Provisioning Precheck

This task verifies the state of the servers to ensure that they are ready for provisioning.
As part of the provisioning precheck activity, a health check is performed in the background to
validate the state of the system to avoid a stale state. Not validating the system state can lead to
irrecoverable failures in the system. This makes the health check very important.
The health check performs the following actions:
Verifies that the services important for the installation, such as Kerberos, Samba, and NMB
services, are running on the remote server.
Verifies that the DNS service is active on the server configured as the DNS server.
Password Details Required
