A company has a main office and multiple branch offices. The corporate network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain and servers that run Windows Server 2008 R2.
You plan to deploy 50 read-only domain controllers (RODCs) to the branch offices. You will configure the RODCs at the company’s main office and then ship them to the branch offices for installation by on-site technicians.
You have the following requirements:
- Minimize network traffic related to the installation.
- Ensure the security of the RODCs.
You need to create a server configuration plan that meets the requirements.
You use the Ntdsutil command-line utility to prepare an Install From Media (IFM) source, removing any sensitive credentials.
What should you recommend next? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)
A. Perform a Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 and add the RODC server role.
Run DCPROMO and specify an answer file that includes the IFM location.
B. Perform a Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 and add the RODC server role.
Run DCPROMO with the /UseExistingAccount: Attach switch.
C. Install Windows Server 2008 R2 and add the RODC server role. Run DCPROMO with the /ReplicationSourcePath switch and specify the IFM source.
D. Install Windows Server 2008 R2 and add the RODC server role. Run DCPROMO and specify an answer file that includes the IFM location.
