Senario
Create a new forest
Create a new domain on existing forest
Add a new domain controller
Step 1:
Run install-windowsfeature to install ADDS
Step 2:Choose your route:
Install-ADDSForest – Creates a new forest.
Install-ADDSDomain – Creates a new domain in an existing forest.
Install-ADDSDomainController – Creates a new domain controller in an existing domain.
——————
question asks to create ‘a first domain controller’ in a ‘new domain’.
I think the route you choose should be the second one, install-addsdomain. Then this will take care of creating a new child domain and promoting the DC2 as a first DC in the new domain.
It says, ‘reconfigured as member server’ which means it’s just reconfigured, but didn’t remove ADDS from the previous DC2 state.So it already has ADDS role installed. So you skip step 1 and run install-addsdomain.
