Microsoft Exam Questions

Which domain controller should you identify?

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

Explanation:
In order to add a Domain Controller to corp.contoso.com, you need PDC and RID of that domain, not
of the root domain. The Domain Naming Master is needed to add, remove and rename domains in
the forest, i.e. not for individual Domain Controllers.
