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 Active Directory Users and Computers, you right-click contoso.com in the console tree, and then select Operations Master.
Does this meet the goal?
- A. Yes Correct
- B. No
Explanation
Yes. In Active Directory Users and Computers, right-clicking the domain node (contoso.com) and selecting Operations Masters opens the Operations Masters dialog. It has RID, PDC, and Infrastructure tabs, and the PDC tab shows which domain controller holds the PDC emulator role for the domain. This is Microsoft's documented way to identify the PDC emulator in the GUI. You can get the same result with netdom query fsmo or Get-ADDomain | Select-Object PDCEmulator.
