Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. You recently deleted 5,000 objects from the Active Directory database.
You need to reduce the amount of disk space used to store the Active Directory database on a domain controller.
Which tool should you use?

Answer options

• A. Dsadd quota
• B. Dsmod
• C. Active Directory Administrative Center
• D. Dsacls
• E. Dsamain
• F. Active Directory Users and Computers
• G. Ntdsutil
• H. Group Policy Management Console

Correct answer: G

Explanation

The correct tool for reducing disk space used by the Active Directory database is Ntdsutil, as it allows for database maintenance and compacting. Other options like Dsadd quota, Dsmod, and the Active Directory Administrative Center do not perform database size management, while Dsacls and Dsamain are focused on permissions and domain management tasks respectively.
