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 DC2 and transferring the RID master role is the appropriate procedure to follow after DC1 has failed. Option B is incorrect because it suggests that the solution does not achieve the goal, which it does.
