Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a
domain controller named DC1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
You create an Active Directory snapshot of DC1 each day.
You need to view the contents of an Active Directory snapshot from two days ago.
What should you do first?
A.
Run the dsamain.exe command.
B.
Stop the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) service.
C.
Start the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
D.
Run the ntdsutil.exe command.
Explanation:
Dsamain.exe exposes Active Directory data that is stored in a snapshot or backup as a Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772168.aspx
You need to mount the snapshot using ntdsutil first before you can host it with dsamain.
Per https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753609(v=ws.10).aspx
Run Ntdsutil.exe to list the snapshots that are available and then mount the snapshot that you want to view.
Run Dsamain.exe to expose the snapshot volume as an LDAP server.
D.
Run the ntdsutil.exe command.
