Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
All domain controllers run Windows Server 2012.
You pre-create a read-only domain controller (RODC)account named RODC1.
You export the settings of RODC1 to a file named File1.txt.
You need to promote RODC1 by using File1.txt.
Which tool should you use?
A.
The Install-WindowsFeature cmdlet
B.
The Add-WindowsFeature cmdlet
C.
The Dism command
D.
The Dcpromo command
E.
The Install-ADDSDomainController cmdlet
Explanation:
DCPromo is gone, HOWEVER, it is still used for forceremoval functions and unattend installations using
unattended files. This allows administrators the chance to get used to using powershell commands instead of
the unattended file.

Install-WindowsFeature
Installs one or more Windows Server roles, role services, or features on either the local or a specified remote
server that is running Windows Server 2012.
This cmdlet is equivalent to and replaces Add-WindowsFeature, the cmdlet that was used to install roles, role
services, and features in Windows Server 2008 R2.
so the 2 first answers are the same and we only have one choice here…

E, with the syntax C:\PS>Install-ADDSDomainController –ReadOnlyReplica should work.

I don’t see a parameter to use RODC and pass it a file to use.
Has to be D. for this reason which is dumb because they are moving away from using dcpromo.

DCPromo is still used with Unattended text files. Install-ADDSDomainController would use a .ps1 file.

I think because it is a Windows 2012 server (not 2012 R2) That D:DCPROMO would be correct. Link that helped me come to this conclusion. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Cc732887.aspx If it is a windows server 2012 R2 then it would be E:Install-ADDSDomainController as the DCPROMO is not a recognized command……I think.

No. Dcpromo is still a usable command in R2, see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh472162.aspx#BKMK_PS for reference. It can’t be run on its own, but you can still use it with an answer file, which is what File1.txt is.
This is kind of a trick question, since Microsoft basically says non-stop in all of the training materials that dcpromo has been deprecated, then they hit you with something like this.

Strange thing is that according to this article (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj574152.aspx), dcpromo is obsolete but is doesn’t say that it is unavailable in windows 2012R2. The article is updated on April 15, 2016….
At first sight I thought the answer was E, but now I think it’s a trick… so I would go with D.

See https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj574152.aspx
“You perform the staging operation of a read-only domain controller computer account by opening the Active Directory Administrative Center (Dsac.exe). Click the name of the domain in the navigation pane. Double-click Domain Controllers in the management list. Click Pre-create a Read-only domain controller account in the tasks pane. If you have experience creating read-only domain controllers, you will discover that the installation wizard has the same graphical interface as seen when using the older Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in from Windows Server 2008 and uses the same code, which includes exporting the configuration in the unattend file format used by the obsolete dcpromo.
Windows Server 2012 introduces a new ADDSDeployment cmdlet to stage RODC computer accounts, but the wizard does not use the cmdlet for its operation. The following sections display the equivalent cmdlet and arguments in order to make the information associated with each easier to understand.”
