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 the command prompt, run ntdsutil.exe, connect to DC2, and use the Transfer RID master option.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The proposed solution is correct because using ntdsutil.exe to connect to the domain controller and selecting the Transfer RID master option is the appropriate method to transfer the RID master role. Since DC1 is inoperable, this is the proper way to ensure that DC2 takes over the responsibility. The other option, which states 'No', is incorrect because it does not recognize the validity of the provided solution.
