You create a new Active Directory domain.
The functional level of the domain is Windows Server 2003.
The domain contains five domain controllers that run Windows Server 2008 R2.
You need to monitor the replication of the group policy template files.
Which tool should you use?
A. Dfsrdiag
B. Fsutil
C. Ntdsutil
D. Ntfrsutl

Understanding Group Policy Replication
Replication of the Group Policy Template
The portion of the GPO that stores the settings into one or more files is the Group Policy Template (GPT). This portion of the GPO and the related files are stored on domain controllers under the Sysvol. The default path for these files is c:WindowsSysvolSysvol<domainname>Policies, as shown in Figure 3.
The Sysvol on domain controllers is used to deliver Group Policy settings and logon scripts to clients at logon. Since Sysvol is used for authentication of users and computers, it must be up to date on all domain controllers. When any information is changed under the Sysvol on one domain controller, it triggers replication of the Sysvol to all other domain controllers.
The Sysvol is replicated using the File Replication System (FRS). FRS does not have a schedule associated with it. FRS uses state-based replication instead. This means that as soon as there is a change to any file under the Sysvol folder structure, replication is triggered. This creates a very efficient and fast replication model for the GPT.
As a side note, FRS replication does not adhere to any site boundaries. Thus, replication will converge to all
of the domain controllers within only a few minutes, even to those domain controllers in remote locations. Note: Windows Server 2008 can use FRS or DFS-R to replicate the contents of the Sysvol.

Ntfrsutl Tool
You can use the Ntfrsutl tool to do the following:
Show the ID table, inbound log, or outbound log for a computer hosting FRS. Examine memory usage by FRS.
Show the FRS configuration in Active Directory. List the active replica sets in a domain.
List the application programming interface (API) and version number for FRS.
Poll immediately, quickly, or slowly for changes to the FRS configuration.
The syntax for Ntfrsutl is shown in Figure 18.7:

NTFRSutl.exe (RK)
..
Note: NTFRSutl has been included in the Windows 2000 Service Resource Kit. Some Beta versions of Windows .NET server family have also comprised this tool.
..
ntfrsutl ds and ntfrsutl sets — these commands display the FRS configuration (replication partners, file filters, schedules, etc.). This information can be partially viewed in the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in (see the File Replication Service node in the System container, and the objects of FRS Sub-scriptions type, which every domain controller has).

With domain functional level 2008 you have available dfs-r sysvol replication. So with DFL2008 you can use the DFSRDIAG tool. It is not available with domain functional level 2003.
With domain functional level 2008 you have available dfs-r sysvol replication. So with DFL2008 you can use the DFSRDIAG tool. It is not available with domain functional level 2003.
With domain functional level 2003 you can only use Ntfrsutl.
