In an isolated test environment, you deploy a server named Server1 that runs a Server Core
Installation of Windows Server 2012 R2. The test environment does not have Active Directory
Domain Services (AD DS) installed.
You install the Active Directory Domain Services server role on Server1.
You need to configure Server1 as a domain controller.
Which cmdlet should you run?

A.
Install-ADDSDomainController
B.
Install-ADDSDomain
C.
Install-ADDSForest
D.
Install-WindowsFeature
Explanation:
Install-ADDSDomainController – Installs a domain controller in Active Directory.
Install-ADDSDomain – Installs a new Active Directory domain configuration.
Install-ADDSForest – Installs a new Active Directory forest configuration.
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 R2. This cmdlet is
equivalent to and replaces Add-WindowsFeature, the cmdlet that was used to install roles, role
services, and features.

“e:\Logs”Installs a new forest named corp.contoso.com, creates a DNS delegation in the
contoso.com domain, sets domain functional level to Windows Server 2008 R2 and sets forest
functional level to Windows Server 2008,installs the Active Directory database and SYSVOL on the
D:\ drive, installs the log files on the E:\ drive and has the server automatically restart after AD DS
installation is complete and prompts the user to provide and confirm the Directory Services Restore

You need to read carefully:
“The test environment does not have Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) installed.”
Since this is the first domain and domain controller in the environment, you must run
>Install-ADDSForest
to install the first domain controller in the new forest
