Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two domain controllers named DC1 and DC2.
DC1 holds the RID master operations role. DC1 fails and cannot be repaired. You need to move the RID role to DC2.
Solution: On DC2, you open Active Directory Users and Computers, click Operations Masters.., verify that dc2.contoso.com is listed on the RID tab, and click
Change.
Does this meet the goal?
Answer options
- A. Yes
- B. No
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The proposed solution does not meet the goal because you cannot transfer the RID master role directly through the Active Directory Users and Computers interface when the current RID master (DC1) is unavailable. The correct method would involve using the ntdsutil tool or invoking the role transfer through a command line against the DC that holds the FSMO roles, which is not covered in the provided steps.
