Problems Creating New Child Domain

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I want to create a child domain in a domain tree in a forest. Does the
machine that I run DCPROMO on for this need to first be a member server in
the parent domain? Or do I want the machine to be simply in a workgroup
outside of any domain before I run DCPROMO?
