I agree. Also confirmed with the following TechNet article: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753609(v=ws.10).aspx
it works both ways, I tested it!
Malik is right. It works both ways, i tested it too in my lab. and both work.
1 – ntdsutil
2 – active instance ntds
3 – snapshot
4 – create
1 – ntdsutil
2 – snapshot
3 – active instance ntds
4 – create
I confirm it works both ways.Although when I read a few technet articles most of them do Snapshot before Act Ins NTDS.Guess it’s the MS way.Also I viewed CBT nuggets videos and they too use snapshoy before act ins ntds. It is strange that it actually works both ways,but would select snapshot before act ins ntds myself on the test
