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
DC4 as the RID master would need to be online in order to give the new DC a bunch of SIDs to hand out as required.
Logic:
DC1 – Domain Naming Master – Im not creating a New Domain, so Domain Naming Master is not required
– Schema master handles attributes so probably not required initially to get a new DC up and running
– Global Cat – not a FSMO role, not required to spin up new DC
DC2 – PDC does all the writing to writable DC, TIme Sync
– Global Cat – not a FSMO role, not required to spin up new DC
DC3 – Infrastructure master handle trusts and changes between two domains
