  1. kkahila says:

    the correct answer is D
    Enable the Bridge All Site Links setting
    Reasons:
    -An RODC cannot be a source domain controller for any other domain controller because it cannot perform outbound replication.

    -The RODC can replicate other partitions, including application directory partitions and global catalog partitions, from any writable domain controller that runs either Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008

      Why would D be correct? The new RODC will need to replicate from DC10, which is a RODC itself. As per your comment, RODC can only replicate from any “writable domain controller”. You would have to demote DC10 and re-add it back in as a writable domain controller first.

      Correct answer is B.

      There’s also another question with exactly the same scenario, but different answer choices. One of the choice is “Run the Uninstall-ADDSDomainController cmdlet”, which makes sense as we want to demote RODC as per above. Both answers support my opinion.

      1. bob says:

        Hippo is correct. The question states that we must replicate from DC10. DC10 is currently an RODC and it is impossible to replicate from an RODC. We must make the RODC writable by using the Active Directory Domain Services Configuration wizard to demote the DC and then promote it to a writable domain controller.
