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 Windows PowerShell and run
Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole
.
-OperationMaster RIDMaster -Identity DC2.Contoso.com
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The solution correctly utilizes the Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole cmdlet to transfer the RID master role from a failed DC1 to DC2. Since DC1 is not operational, this method is appropriate for moving the role to ensure the continuity of Active Directory functions. The other option is incorrect as it suggests that the solution does not meet the goal, which it does.
