Your network contains an Active Directory forest that has two domains named contoso.com
and europe.contoso.com. The forest contains five servers. The servers are configured as
shown in the following table.
You plan to manage the DHCP settings and the DNS settings centrally by using IP Address
Management (IPAM).
You need to ensure that you can use IPAM to manage the DHCP and DNS settings in both
domains. The solution must use the minimum amount of administrative effort.
What should you do?
A.
Upgrade DCE1 and DCE2 to Windows Server 2012, and then install the IP Address
Management (IPAM) Server feature. Run the Set-IpamConfiguration cmdlet for each
domain.
B.
Upgrade DCE1 and DCE2 to Windows Server 2012, and then install the IP Address
Management (IPAM) Server feature. Run the Invoke-IpamGpoProvisioning cmdlet for each
domain.
C.
Upgrade DC1 and DC2 to Windows Server 2012, and then install the IP Address
Management (IPAM) Server feature. Run the Invoke-IpamGpoProvisioning cmdlet for each
domain.
D.
Upgrade DC1 and DC2 to Windows Server 2012, and then install the IP Address
Management (IPAM) Server feature. Run the Set-IpamConfiguration cmdlet for each
domain.
Explanation:
Invoke-IpamGpoProvisioning
Creates and links group policies in the specified domain for provisioning required access
settings on the servers managed by the computer running the IP Address Management
(IPAM) server.

Set-IpamConfiguration
Sets the configuration for the computer running the IP Address Management (IPAM) server,
including the TCP port number over which the computer running the IPAM Remote Server
Administration Tools (RSAT) client connects with the computer running the IPAM server.

IPAM supports only Microsoft domain controllers, DHCP, DNS, and NPS servers running Windows Server® 2008 and above. You have to upgrade DCE1 and DCE2

According to the link provided by Stefma IPAM cannot be installed a domain controller:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj878312.aspx
Quote: IPAM must be installed on a domain member computer. You cannot install IPAM on a domain controller. If IPAM is installed on the same server with DHCP, then DHCP server discovery will be disabled.
Hm, just gave it a try on my 2012 r2 test environment and one _can_ install ipam on a domain controller … so the technet article is wrong
I think the answers are off. You always install IPAM on a member server and certainly never on a server running DHCP.
The only other way I can read the available answers:
Upgrade DCE1/2 and install Ipam on the 2012 file server (Server1)
Question: You need to ensure that you can use IPAM to manage the DHCP and DNS settings in both domains
Answer: B
The question is not about what server will recieve the role, but which steps are required to be able to use IPAM. You have to upgrade the European servers, otherwise IPAM won’t be able to collect data from them.
And, once the role is installed somewhere, the only cmdlet that needs (being a GPO a domain-level object) to be executed on each domain, is Invoke-IpamGpoProvisioning.
