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 R0DC1. You install the DNS Server server role on R0DC1.
You discover that R0DC1 does not have any DNS application directory partitions.
You need to ensure that R0DC1 has a copy of the DNS application directory partition of contoso.com.
What should you do? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose two.)
A.
From DNS Manager, right-click RODC1 and click Create Default Application Directory Partitions.
B.
Run ntdsutil.exe. From the Partition Management context, run the create nc command.
C.
Run dnscmd.exe and specify the /createbuiltindirectorypartitions parameter.
D.
Run ntdsutil.exe. From the Partition Management context, run the add nc replica command.
E.
Run dnscmd.exe and specify the /enlistdirectorypartition parameter.
Explanation:
Please Check but I think this should be A and C and not A and D.I have changed it to A and C.
Reason: Once the application directory partition is created, contoso.com should replicate to it.
Dnscmd /enlistdirectorypartition — Adds the DNS server to the specified directory partition’s replica set.
Dnscmd /createbuiltindirectorypartitions
Creates a DNS application directory partition. When DNS is installed, an application directory partition for the service is created at the forest and domain levels. Use this command to create DNS application directory partitions that were deleted or never created. With no parameter, this command creates a built-in DNS directory partition for the domain.
To create the default DNS application directory partitions
Using the Windows interface
Open DNS.
In the console tree, right-click the applicable DNS server.
Where?
DNS/applicable DNS server
Click Create Default Application Directory Partitions.
Follow the instructions to create the DNS application directory partitions.
I thought as much. I have found several conflicting answers from other dumps, which don’t provide any explanations. I find your answers with the explanations very convincing and I think you are the best.
My worry is this: Am still preparing for my exams and am wondering what answers to retain in a situation like in the one above
Application directory partition VS Active Directory-integrated.
In my opinion the correct answer are as follow:
A: WRONG – Create default application partition ?#@$#%# There is no such thing
C: CORRECT – Run dnscmd.exe and specify the /createbuiltindirectorypartitions parameter. (thats the only way to create directory application partition)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754292.aspx
E: CORRECT – Run dnscmd /EnlistDirectoryPartition (Add DNS server to partition replication scope)
pls correct me if im wrong
GUI: From DNS Manager, right-click RODC1 and click Create Default Application Directory Partitions.
CMD: Run dnscmd.exe and specify the /createbuiltindirectorypartitions parameter.
Are identically!!
Because the RODC doesn’t have the standard partition: Forest and Domain in DNS!
“You discover that R0DC1 does not have any DNS application directory partitions.”
The question not say of custom application directory partition!
hhm yeah you’re right now i see why! I suspected that question to be mess up – I was expecting to do 2 things in order to get it done –
also it’s written at the bottom – “each correct answer present a complete solution”
Thank you for clarifying it Daniele !
🙂
yes I agree the question is incorrect,You create custom app partition using dnscmd.exe and NTDSutil can create custom partition
Remember this is RODC and you cannot use DNS manager to create a partition. I go with C and E
Correct answers are D and E. So nice to find this obscure TechNet article just hours after I failed my 640 exam with this very question on it…

Nice Dan!
