Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains six domain
controllers. The domain controllers are configured as shown in the following table.
The network contains a server named Server1 that has the Hyper-v server role installed. DC6 is a virtual
machine that is hosted on Server1.
You need to ensure that you can clone DC6.
Which FSMO role should you transfer to DC2?
A.
Rid master
B.
Domain naming master
C.
PDC emulator
D.
Infrastructure master
Explanation:
The clone domain controller uses the security context of the source domain controller (the domain controller
whose copy it represents) to contact the Windows Server 2012 R2 Primary Domain Controller (PDC) emulator
operations master role holder (also known as flexible single master operations, or FSMO). The PDC emulator
must be running Windows Server 2012 R2, but it does not have to be running on a hypervisor.

You have to Transfer the PDC Emulator. Not sure why. Don’t get why this FSMO is still a Thing. Not really applicable since Win NT. Maybe for Legacy applications.

Global Catalog, that’s why.

@Niels, PDC Emulator is still used for a bunch of things, such as tracking password changes to AD object, hence it is required to create a new AD object for the clone of DC6…

The PDC emulator needs to be on windows server 2012 r2 as the cloning machine

From my 70-411 Ref book:
The support for cloning a virtualized domain controllerwas introduced with Windows Server
2012. The environment for cloning must meet the following requirements:
■ PDC emulator FSMO role hosted on Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2
domain controller
■ PDC emulator available during the cloning operation
■ Clone source and target of Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2
■ Virtualization host platform supports VM-Generation ID (VMGID)

The PDC emulator operations master role must be online and held by a pc running win server 2012 or 2012 r2
