Exam 70-413 topic 1 question 30 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's 70-413
Question #: 30
Topic #: 1
[All 70-413 Questions]

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. All servers run Windows Server 2008 R2. All domain controllers are installed on physical servers. The network contains several Hyper-V hosts.
The network contains a Microsoft System Center 2012 infrastructure.
You plan to use domain controller cloning to deploy several domain controllers that will run Windows Server 2012.
You need to recommend which changes must be made to the network infrastructure before you can use domain controller cloning.
What should you recommend?

  • A. Upgrade a global catalog server to Windows Server 2012. Deploy Virtual Machine Manager (VMM).
  • B. Upgrade a global catalog server to Windows Server 2012. Install the Windows Deployment Services server role on a server that runs Windows Server 2012.
  • C. Upgrade the domain controller that has the PDC emulator operations master role to Windows Server 2012. Deploy a Hyper-V host that runs Windows Server 2012.
  • D. Upgrade the domain controller that has the infrastructure master operations master role to Windows Server 2012. Install the Windows Deployment Services server role on a server that runs Windows Server 2012.

Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
The clone domain controller uses the security context of the source domain controller (the domain controller whose copy it represents) to contact the Windows
Server 2012 Primary Domain Controller (PDC) emulator operations master role holder (also known as flexible single master operations, or FSMO). The PDC emulator must be running Windows Server 2012, but it does not have to be running on a hypervisor.
The requirements for domain controller cloning are:
The hypervisor must support VM-GenerationID. Hyper-V running on Windows Server 2012 supports this feature. Other virtualization vendors will have the ability to implement this as well, so check with your vendor to see if it's supported.
The source virtual DC must be running Windows Server 2012.
The PDC emulator role holder must be online and available to the cloned DC and must be running Windows Server 2012.
