Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The forest contains a member server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016. All domain controllers run Windows Server 2012 R2.
Contoso.com has the following configuration.
PS C:\> (Get-ADForest).ForestMode

Windows2008R2Forest -
PS C:\> (Get-ADDomain).DomainMode

Windows2008R2Domain -
PS C:\>
You plan to deploy an Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) farm on Server1 and to configure device registration.
You need to configure Active Directory to support the planned deployment.
Solution: You raise the domain functional level to Windows Server 2012 R2.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Raising the domain functional level to Windows Server 2012 R2 does not meet the requirements for deploying AD FS because the current forest functional level is still Windows2008R2Forest. The forest functional level must also be raised to Windows Server 2012 R2 to fully support the AD FS farm and device registration functionalities.
