Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The forest contains 10 domains.
The root domain contains a global catalog server named DC1.
You remove the global catalog server role from DC1.
You need to decrease the size of the Active Directory database on DC1.
Solution: You restart DC1 in Safe Mode. You run ntdsutil.exe, use the files option, and then restart DC1.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The solution does not meet the goal because simply running ntdsutil.exe in Safe Mode does not effectively reduce the size of the Active Directory database after removing the global catalog role. Additional steps, such as performing a database cleanup or defragmentation, are required to accurately decrease the database size.
