Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
All domain controllers were upgraded from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
The functional level of the domain is Windows Server 2003.
You need to configure SYSVOL to use DFS Replication.
Which tools should you use?
(Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A. Dfsrmig
B. Frsdiag
C. Ntdsutil
D. Set-ADForest
E. Repadmin
F. Set-ADDomainMode
G. DFS Management
Correct Answer: AF
Explanation/Reference:
First we need to upgrade the domain functional level, using Set-ADDomainMode. Then, now that the domain controllers have been upgraded to Windows Server 2008 R2 and the domain functional level has been upgraded (to Windows Server 2008 (R2)), we can migrate to DFS Replication for replicating SYSVOL, instead of File Replication Service (FRS) of previous Windows Server versions. We can use Dfsrmig for that migration.

In versions of Windows Server prior to Windows Server 2008, the FRS was used to replicate the contents of SYSVOL between domain controllers. FRS has limitations in both capacity and performance that cause it to break occasionally. Unfortunately, troubleshooting and configuring FRS is quite difficult. In Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 domains, you have the option to use DFS-R to replicate the contents of SYSVOL.

Set-ADDomainMode
The Set-ADDomainMode cmdlet sets the domain mode for a domain. You specify the domain mode by setting the DomainMode parameter.
The domain mode can be set to the following values that are listed in order of functionality from lowest to highest.
Windows2000Domain
Windows2003InterimDomain
Windows2003Domain
Windows2008Domain
Windows2008R2Domain

Migrating to the Prepared State
The following sections provide an overview of the procedures that you perform when you migrate SYSVOL replication from File Replication Service (FRS) to Distributed File System (DFS Replication).
This migration phase includes the tasks in the following list.
(…)
Running the dfsrmig /SetGlobalState 1 command on the PDC emulator to start the migration to the Prepared state.
