Your network contains an Active Directory forest. The forest contains a single domain named
contoso.com. The domain contains four domain controllers.
The domain controllers are configured as shown in the following table.
All domain controllers are DNS servers.
You plan to deploy a new domain controller named DC5 in the contoso.com domain.
You need to identify which domain controller must be online to ensure that DC5 can be
promoted successfully to a domain controller.
Which domain controller should you identify?
A.
DC1
B.
DC2
C.
DC3
D.
DC4
Explanation:
To perform a domain controller promotion you need the Infrastructure master to be online.
The schema master and the domain naming master are per-forest roles. Therefore, there is
only one schema master and one domain naming master per forest.
The RID master, the PDC master, and the infrastructure master are per-domain roles. Each
domain has its own RID master, PDC master, and infrastructure master. Therefore, if a
forest has three domains, there are three RID masters, three PDC masters, and three
infrastructures masters.
Incorrect answers:
A: The domain naming master Flexible Single Master Operations (FSMO) role holder is
assigned to the domain controller that is responsible for making changes to the
CN=Partitions,CN=Configuration, DC=domain configuration container in Active Directory
B: Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-in will always contact the PDC when User
Properties is opened
D: very Exchange Server 5.5 site or Exchange 2000 Server Routing Group needs a Routing
Information Daemon (RID) master, or routing master. This RID master generates the routing
table for the rest of the site (or Routing Group), which replicates to the entire Exchange
Server organization. By default the RID master is the first Exchange Server computer in the
site.
