Disagree, dcpromo is no longer used for promoting a server to a DC, the article above applies to Windows 2008 & 2008 R2 only.

Answer should be D as this is the replacement PowerShell Command.

If you read that article, it says “If you have experience creating read-only domain controllers, you will discover that the installation wizard has the same graphical interface as seen when using the older Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in from Windows Server 2008 and uses the same code, which includes exporting the configuration in the unattend file format used by the obsolete dcpromo.” So to use the output file File1.txt, you need to use the dcpromo command. Hope that helps. It is not obvious.

Answer is correct its e

Installing AD DS by Using Windows PowerShell

Beginning with Windows Server 2012, you can install AD DS using Windows PowerShell. Dcpromo.exe is deprecated beginning with Windows Server 2012, but you can still run dcpromo.exe by using an answer file (dcpromo /unattend: or dcpromo /answer:). The ability to continue running dcpromo.exe with an answer file provides organizations that have resources invested in existing automation time to convert the automation from dcpromo.exe to Windows PowerShell. For more information about running dcpromo.exe with an answer file, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947034.
For more information about removing AD DS using Windows PowerShell, see Remove AD DS using Windows PowerShell.

I do believe the answer is E in this case.

PowerShell is the preferred method, but DCPROMO with an answer file is still available.

The official 70-410 material state that DCPROMO can be still used “by admins that invested their time in developing complex answer files” so DCpromo is still valid, and in this case is the right answer. You don run it anymore to promote the DC as default but still can be used and is still in sources.

I read through the documentation on Install-ADDSDomainController with the -ReadOnlyReplica

and I don’t see a way to reference an external text file for pulling in setup information.

Here is the explanation from Sacriestory_Aikonfx dump:

“Dcpromo.exe deprecated in Windows Server 2012 Design. You can use it for unattended installations but still.

If you’re in Windows Server 2012 “dcpromo.exe” run (with no parameters) from a command prompt, you will be redirected via a message to Server Manager, where Active Directory Domain Services with the wizard can install the Add Roles.

If you /dcpromo unattend run from a command prompt, you can still perform automatic installations with Dcpromo.exe

So organizations can continua to use automated installations routines with dcpromo.exe for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), to write these routines with new Windows PowerShell.

Passed in Russia, Score 8xx.
Use 70-411 (v.5), read the comment to qestion, some answer incorrect.
And 70-411 (wish1) – i have three questions from this part.

Word

Also passed this 2 days ago, got a score of 8xx as well

All you really need is to study 70-411 (v.5)

Be careful of new questions that are similar to old questions they just changed a word which affects the overall answer.

Passed yesterday Score 9xx.
I used 70-411 (v.6) and Sacriestory_Aikonfx dump from certifychat. With both I just find maybe 1 – 2 completely new questions. I find also a few of questions with one or two words that change the overall meaning of the answer.

Hi Josh ,
How was it? Did You pass? Any new questions on the exam?

Josh

Josh

passed two days ago with 9xx
not even one new question, as I read almost all comments and new questions posted before with other guys…
the point is that I was waiting for 1000 as I answered all questions the same as what I read and was 100% sure… so its not easy to pass.. you need to pay attention on two things:
1- know all questions almost by heart
2- know 100% CORRECT answers, this may be possible by reading comments carefully then try yourself to make sure, you may still find something different from what you thought is 100% true… going to start 412

have read
Microsoft.70-411.v2015-09-30.by.Sacriestory_Aikonfx + v5 and v6 here + ALL COMMENTS

good luck ! 🙂

btw, I will read 412 from certifychat website that Nelson already posted + two last versions of this site 🙂 that’s it!

The answer is correct: D.

Using AD Administrative Center you can pre-create a read-only DC. At the end of the wizard you have an option to export settings which can be next used by dcpromo.
dcpromo.exe /CreateDCAccount /ReplicaDomainDNSName:test.com /unattend:C:\RODC1.txt

If D works and E without options is deprecated it’s obviously D

The question states “You pre-create a read-only domain controller (P.QDC) account named RODC1. You export the settings of RODC1 to a file named Filel.txt.” So I assume in the process of pre-creating an RODC account all of the essential information required for an answer file is generated, so that you can then export the settings to an answer file? Is that how answer files are normally created? By pre-creating an account?

Verified DCPROMO correct answer via
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj574152.aspx
“You perform the staging operation of a read-only domain controller computer account by opening the Active Directory Administrative Center (Dsac.exe). Click the name of the domain in the navigation pane. Double-click Domain Controllers in the management list. Click Pre-create a Read-only domain controller account in the tasks pane. If you have experience creating read-only domain controllers, you will discover that the installation wizard has the same graphical interface as seen when using the older Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in from Windows Server 2008 and uses the same code, which includes exporting the configuration in the unattend file format used by the obsolete dcpromo.
Windows Server 2012 introduces a new ADDSDeployment cmdlet to stage RODC computer accounts, but the wizard does not use the cmdlet for its operation. The following sections display the equivalent cmdlet and arguments in order to make the information associated with each easier to understand.”

It is DCPromo with answer file.
It CANNOT be The Install-ADDSDomainController cmdlet as the answer file FILE1.txt should be used. This is NOT possible with The Install-ADDSDomainController cmdlet
