Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The functional level of the forest is Windows Server 2008 R2.
The DNS zone for contoso.com is Active Directory-integrated.
You deploy a read-only domain controller (RODC) named RODC1.
You install the DNS Server server role on RODC1.
You discover that RODC1 does not have any application directory partitions.
You need to ensure that RODC1 has a copy of the DNS application directory partition of contoso.com.
What should you do?
A.
From DNS Manager, create secondary zones.
B.
Run Dnscmd.exe, and specify the /enlistdirectorypartition parameter.
C.
From DNS Manager, right-click RODC1 and click Update Server Data Files.
D.
Run Dnscmd.exe and specify the /createbuiltindirectorypartitions parameter.
I think this is D. Since the application directory partitions have not been created yet. Thoughts?
it’s B, partition was already created before, RODC needs to be enlisted as replication partner for this partition.
I agreed with you.
Voted!
where it is written that already exists??
the text says: “You discover that RODC1 does not have any application directory partitions.” then it does not exist already!
It also says that “You need to ensure that RODC1 has a copy of the DNS application directory partition of contoso.com.” So, if the RODC needs a copy, then the application directory partitions must have been created on a writable DC already. By default, RODCs do not enlist application partitions. So ‘b’ is the answer.
But before enlisting you have to create the application directory partition!
the questions states that you need to ensure that rodc1 has a COPY of the dns application partition. The word COPY implies that it already exists. I think the answer is B.
