Correct Answer: D
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
To create or delete an application directory partition
– partition management
Manages directory partitions for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) or Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS).
This is a sub command of Ntdsutil and Dsmgmt. Ntdsutil and Dsmgmt are command-line tools that are built into Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
– partition management create nc %s1 %s2
Creates the application directory partition with distinguished name %s1, on theActive Directory domain controller or AD LDS instance with full DNS name %s2. If you specify "NULL" for %s2, this command uses the currently connected Active Directory domain controller.
Use this command only with AD DS. For AD LDS, use createnc %s1 %s2 %s3.
Note:
An application directory partition is a directory partition that is replicated only to specific domain controllers. A domain controller that participates in the replication of a particular application directory partition hosts a replica of that partition.
