Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a
domain controller named DC1.
You need to create an Active Directory snapshot on DC1.
Which four commands should you run?
To answer, move the four appropriate commands from the list of commands to the answer area and
arrange them in the correct order.
Answer: See the explanation
Explanation:
Box 1: ntdsutilBox 2: snapshot
Box 3: activate instance ntds
Box 4: create
Note:
Create a snapshot of AD DS in Windows Server 2012 R2 by using NTDSUTIL
1 – On the domain server, open command prompt and type ntdsutil and press Enter.
2- Next, type snapshot and press Enter.
3 – Next, type activate instance ntds and press Enter.
4 – Next, type create (this create command is to generate a snapshot of my AD) and press Enter.
I have done this in a lab and it worked fine. My order was:
ntdsutil
activate instance
snapshot
create

I tested in a lab (W2K12 not R2) and both works:
1-
ntdsutil
snapshot
activate instance
create
2-
ntdsutil
activate instance
snapshot
create
So both ways are correct. Snapshots of AD ar generated successfully.

I was also able to confirm that both methods worked in a Win12R2 lab environment.

At my Skillpipe book 20411DC, the order is the same that we view in the explanation.
Box 1: ntdsutil
Box 2: snapshot
Box 3: activate instance ntds
Box 4: create

Microsoft’s way is not always the ONLY way to get something done. For test purposes though, there’s only one right answer and that’s Microsoft’s answer. So if taking the test and you see this question, submit it the way Microsoft would want it done.
