Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com.
The forest contains a single domain. The domain contains three domain controllers.
The domain controllers are configured as shown in the following table.
You discover that when you run Group Policy Results from Group Policy Management, the settings
from site-linked Group Policy objects (GPOs) fail to appear in the results.
You need to ensure that the settings from site-linked GPOs appear in the results.
What should you do first?
A.
Run adprep on DC3 by using Windows Server 2012 R2 installation media.
B.
Transfer the infrastructure master role to DC3.
C.
Upgrade DC2 to Windows Server 2012 R2.
D.
Run adprep on DC1 by using Windows Server 2003 installation media.
Explanation:
In this scenario a Windows 2012 server has been added to a Windows 2003 network.
Note:
* Before adding your new Windows 2012 Domain Controller, or attempting to perform an inplace
upgrade of an existing Windows 2008 or 2008 R2 DC, you must make sure that the Schema is
upgraded to support your new Windows 2012 DC, and that you prepare each domain where you
plan to install Windows 2012 DCs. To do this we can use the ADPREP.exe tool found in the
support\adprep folder on your installation media.
* Starting with Windows 2012 there is only one version of ADPREP available, and that is a 64-bit
version.
* Adprep is the utility–included in the OS installation media–that performs several crucial functions
to upgrade AD to support that OS. The utility has three major options: /forestprep, /domainprep,
and /rodcprep. The /forestprep option runs first, extending the AD schema with new object and
attribute classes that the new AD version needs. The /domainprep option creates new well-known
objects in AD, App1ies security changes, and miscellaneous other bits. Finally, /rodcprep makes
forest-wide security changes to allow read-only domain controller (RODC) functionality. The
Windows Server 2012 R2 version of adprep.exe can run on any server that runs a 64- bit version
of Windows Server 2008 or later.

I don’t think the answer is right. ADPREP runs automatically when you configure ADDS on a Windows Server 2012/2012R2, and the question states “The domain contains three domain controllers.” So DC3 already ran ADPREP.
BUT. DC3 is a Windows Server 2012 (NOT R2). And there’s no planning nor makes a difference in this case on installing a 2012R2 DC. The problem here is that the other answers does not makes sense for me neither. (Maybe I’m missing something or maybe the exhibit is wrong)
B. We have only 1 domain, so the Inf. Master, does not makes any job.
C. Same as B. Changing the version of this OS does not change anything in the Inf. Master.
D. In this scenario the schema is already in this level and above, this does not makes a difference.
I agree. The answers don’t really seem to line up with the question. The links are also not remotely related. I think this is just a bad question/answer.
i am not sure but this is what i think, to fix that GPO problem you need to run ADPrep /gpprep if you did not run it on the 2003 server!
you can only do this on an infrastructure holder, therefore we need to move the infrastructure to the 2012R2 server or upgrade it cause adprep is a 64bit app!!!

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd464018(v=ws.10).aspx
so answer should be B >> Transfer the infrastructure master role to DC3 as a first step then Run A >>>adprep /gpprep on DC3 by using Windows Server 2012 R2 installation media.
agree with Mohamed – ans B
The VCE file i’m playing with says answer A is correct, but as i was unsure about the answer, i decided to look here for this question and after a little reading on @mohamed kassem link, i think he’s right about the answer being B, because somewhere on the link you can read this:
“adprep /domainprep /gpprep
Must be run on the infrastructure operations master for the domain.
If you already ran the /gpprep parameter for Windows Server 2003, you do not have to run it again for later versions of Windows Server.
Once in each domain within the forest”
Looks like B to me.
Still a strange question.
adprep /domainprep /gpprep doesn’t run automatically when installing/promoting a 2012 DC.
needs to run on infrastructure master.
guess those 2003 servers are not 64bit.
Only answer possible to me seems B…
Koen is correct. You can find the proper procedure here:

If you ran the version of the adprep /domainprep command that is included in Windows Server 2008 or later, the adprep /domainprep /gpprep command adds only the inheritable access control entries (ACEs) on Group Policy objects (GPOs) in the SYSVOL shared folder. The additional ACEs give enterprise domain controllers read access permissions on GPOs. These permissions are required to support Resultant Set of Policy (RSOP) functionality for site-based policy.

The Adprep.exe tool is included on the Windows Server 2012 media at \support\adprep. This version of Adprep.exe supports remote preparation and does not have to run on the infrastructure master operations master (also known as flexible single master operations or FSMO) role, as it did in previous server operating systems.
Because adding 2012 to the Forest, the first thing you need to run is adprep /forestprep…then you can go on to update the SYSVOL & GPO’s.
A = correct answer
