  1. Ex says:

    Correct answer is D.

    DCCloneConfig.xml is an XML configuration file that contains all of the settings the cloned DC will take when it boots.
    This includes network settings, DNS, WINS, AD site name, new DC name and more. This file can be generated in a few different ways.

    The New-ADDCCloneConfig cmdlet in PowerShell
    By hand with an XML editor
    By editing an existing config file, again with an XML editor (Notepad is not an XML editor.)

    CustomDCCloneAllowList.xml – If you have services or installed programs that reside on your source domain controller that are outside of those listed in
    the DefaultDCCloneAllowList.xml file, those services and programs must be included in this file. To find the services or installed programs that are not
    listed in the in the DefaultDCCloneAllowList.xml file, run the Get-ADDCCloningExcludedApplicationList cmdlet. You should use the –GenerateXml argument to
    generate the XML file.

    DefaultDCCloneAllowList.xml – This file is present by default on every Windows Server 2012 domain controller in the %windir%\system32. It lists the services
    and installed programs that can be safely cloned by default. You must not change the location or contents of this file or cloning will fail.
