The domain contains 10 domain controllers and a read-only domain controller (RODC) named RODC01. All domain controllers and RODCs are hosted on Hyper-V host that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
You need to identify which domain controller must be online when cloning a domain controller. Which cmdlet should you use?
A. Get-ADGroupMember
B. Get-ADDomainControllerPasswordReplicationPolicy
C. Get-ADDomainControllerPasswordReplicationPolicyUsage
D. Get-ADDomain
E. Get-ADOptionalFeature
Correct Answer: D
Explanation/Reference:
A prerequisite to clone a domain controller is that an existing Windows Server 2012 DC that hosts the PDC emulator role is online. The output of the Get-ADDomain command includes a line indicating which domain controller acts as a PDC emulator.
For example: PDCEmulator : Fabrikam-DC1.Fabrikam.com
Incorrect answers:
Not A: The Get-ADGroupMember cmdlet gets the members of an Active Directory group. Members can be users, groups, and computers.
Not E: The Get-ADOptionalFeature cmdlet gets an optional feature or performs a search to retrieve multiple optional features from an Active Directory.
