Your network contains one Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
The domain contains the domain controllers configured as shown in the following table.
The functional level of the domain and the forest is Windows Server 2008.
An administrator named Admin1 is a member of the Domain Admins group.
You need to ensure that Admin1 can deploy a Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controller to
contoso.com.
What should you do?
A.
Raise the forest functional level.
B.
Run the Set-ADForestMode cmdlet.
C.
Raise the domain functional level.
D.
Run the adprep.exe command.
Explanation:
Adprep.exe commands run automatically as needed as part of the AD DS installation process on
servers that run Windows Server 2012 or later. The commands need to run in the following
cases:
* Before you add the first domain controller that runs a version of Windows Server that is later
than the latest version that is running in your existing domain.
* Before you upgrade an existing domain controller to a later version of Windows Server, if that
domain controller will be the first domain controller in the domain or forest to run that version of
Windows Server.

This is a tricky one.
At first I didn’t notice that new DC is R2.
So you need to prepare domain for R2 version of DC.

Good notice. You are totally right.
I was under the impression since we already have WS2012, why we will need to run Adprep again, but you are right the server we have is WS2012 and we are planning to install WS2012R2 thus we need to update the schema.

Server 2012 R2 requires FFL and DFL of 2003 only, so I think answer is correct (D)

The schema needs to be updated first because the admin1 is not a schema master, just a domain admin, he can’t
