Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Your network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named contoso.com. You need to identify which server is the PDC emulator for the domain. Solution: From a command prompt, you run netdom.exe query fsmo. Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

A: Yes Correct answer

B: No

Correct Answer:

A. Yes

Explanation

The netdom query fsmo command is a built-in Windows Server command-line utility specifically designed to locate and display the domain controllers holding the Flexible Single Master Operations (FSMO) roles within an Active Directory domain or forest. When executed from an elevated command prompt, it queries the directory and outputs the names of the servers currently holding the Schema Master, Domain Naming Master, PDC Emulator, RID Pool Manager, and Infrastructure Master roles. Because the PDC emulator is explicitly listed in the output of this command, running it directly satisfies the goal of identifying which server holds the PDC emulator role for the contoso.com domain.

Why Incorrect

[B] No is incorrect because the provided command accurately and effectively retrieves the FSMO role holders, including the PDC emulator, fulfilling the stated requirement.
