Your network contains a single Active Directory domain. The domain contains five read-only domain controllers (RODCs) and five writable domain controllers. All servers run Windows Server 2008. You plan to install a new RODC that runs Windows Server 2008 R2. You need to ensure that you can add the new RODC to the domain.
You want to achieve this goal by using the minimum amount of administrative effort.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Choose two.)
A.
At the command prompt, run adprep.exe /rodcprep.
B.
At the command prompt, run adprep.exe /forestprep.
C.
At the command prompt, run adprep.exe /domainprep.
D.
From Active Directory Domains and Trusts, raise the functional level of the domain.
E.
From Active Directory Users and Computers, pre-stage the RODC computer account.
I think there something wrong with the question here. I believe the rodcprep would be enough to prepare for a 2008R2 RODC – so the answer should be just A.
You’re adding the first 2008 R2 domain controller to the domain. You’ll need to run /forestprep and /domainprep before promoting the RODC.
Thanks Dan, I agree after some reading. The rodc-prep is not needed at all for R2 if ran for 2008. R2 is also able to replicate from a 2008 dc.
