Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two domain controllers named DC1 and DC2.
DC1 holds the RID master operations role. DC1 fails and cannot be repaired. You need to move the RID role to DC2.
Solution: On DC2, you open the command prompt, run dsmgmt.exe, connect to DC2, and use the Seize RID master opinion.
Does this meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
A is correct. answers are
Dc1 holds RID master operations role. It fails and cannot be repaired. You need to move
the RID role to DC2
– Seize the role by using ntdsutil
OR
– Move-AddirectoryServerOperationMasterRole -Force
OR
On DC2, open command prompt, run dsmgmt.exe. connect to DC2 and Seize the RID master option
this tool is working without ADLDS and is available even if you install ADDS. You can use it to size and transfer FSMO roles so this an A Yes.
B is correct
ADLDS is required for “dsmgmt”.
There is no mention of this being installed and this is not done by default when AD DS is installed.
B – No — This would work if DC1 was still online. In that case we would be “transferring” the role. However, as DC1 is offline, we need to “seize” the role which can only be done by using the ntdsutil command or the Move-AddirectoryServerOperationMasterRole PowerShell cmdlet with the -Force parameter.
