Your network contains an Active Directory forest. The forest contains a domain named contoso.com. The domain contains three domain controllers.
A domain controller named lon-dc1 fails. You are unable to repair lon-dc1.
You need to prevent the other domain controllers from attempting to replicate to lon-dc1.
Solution: From Active Directory Domains and Trusts, you transfer the operations master roles from lon-dc1.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Transferring the operations master roles from lon-dc1 effectively removes it from the replication topology, preventing other domain controllers from attempting to replicate with it. Since lon-dc1 is non-functional, failing to transfer the roles would not resolve the replication issues, making this solution appropriate and effective.
