    Agree with Kholo

    You have to create the managed service account in AD with the new-ADServiceAccount command

    Then you install the account on the server that will use it with the install-ADServiceAccount command.

    Then you modify the settings of AppPool1 to use the installed managed service account.

      but, gMSAs can only be created on a DC running windows server 2012 R2. So you won’t be able to create them without them. I think the provided answer is correct.

    No, you don’t need to have a running 2012r2 DC to create a gMSA. It’s enough to update the schema, which in this case is done beforehand according to the question. So in this case the logic SHOULD be – provision the account (new-adserviceaccount), install it on the machine (install-adserviceaccount) and finally configure the apppool to run using the gmsa.

    As the Active Directory module is not installed by default unless you have a Domain Controller, you’d need additional steps to make it work without de DC. I’ll stick with the provided answer.

    According to this link: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askpfeplat/2012/12/16/windows-server-2012-group-managed-service-accounts/

    Group Managed Service Accounts Requirements
    At least one Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller
    A Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8 machine with the ActiveDirectory PowerShell module, to create/manage the gMSA.
    A Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8 domain member to run/use the gMSA.

    So my answer would be:
    1. Install a 2012 R2 DC
    2. Run new-adserviceaccount
    3. Modify the settings of AppPool1
