Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a
domain controller named DC1.
You need to create an Active Directory snapshot on DC1.
Which four commands should you run?
To answer, move the four appropriate commands from the list of commands to the answer area and
arrange them in the correct order.
Answer: See the explanation
Explanation:
Box 1: ntdsutil
Box 2: snapshot
Box 3: activate instance ntds
Box 4: create
Note:

Correct order:
ntdsutil
active instance ntds
snapshot
create

This seems to work both ways:
ntdsutil
active instance ntds
snapshot
create
and
ntdsutil
snapshot
active instance ntds
create
Microsoft may favour the former:

‘Before you can run the snapshot subcommand, you must run the activate instance subcommand in Ntdsutil to set an active instance.’

ntdsutil
activate instance ntds
snapshot
create
AND
ntdsutil
snapshot
active instance ntds
create
both worked in my lab. Not sure what to answer?? But I will take later one because snapshot is following ntdsutil which is closer to the topic …

Here you can see that Microsoft uses the other way (snapshot – active instance…)
What answer should you take in exam?!
It seems to be 50/50 % !!!

I had this question on exam, it is stated that there is more then one proper order.

ntdsutil > activate instance > snapshot > create
Note: Before you can run the snapshot subcommand, you must run the activate instance subcommand in NTDSUTIL to set an active instance.
