Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
One requirement for cloning a domain controller is an existing Windows Server 2012 DC that hosts the PDC emulator role. You can run the Get-ADDomain and retrieve which server has the PDC emulator role.
Example: Command Prompt: C:\PS>

Get-ADDomain -
Output wouldinclude a line such as: PDCEmulator : Fabrikam-DC1.Fabrikam.com

Answer is A (found this great explanation on another site) It says all DCs are already 2012 R2. The PDC emulator ONLY needs to be on the server that has the same OS of the server you want to clone. For example, If the PDC emulator is on a server 2008 R2 DC, and I have a Server 2012 R2 server, I cannot clone from that 2008 R2 DC. I must transfer the PDC Emulator role to another 2012 R2 DC then clone from that 2012 R2 DC. In this question, all of the servers are already 2012 R2. So we dont need to care where the PDC emulator is. We just have to identify which DCs are authorized to be cloned. You can have more than one DC that is allowed to be cloned, and only 1 DC per domain is allowed to have the PDC emulator. So the answer is A. provided answer is wong. H-O-W-E-V-E-R…. There is another question that is very similar but asks “You need to identify which domain controller MUST BE ONLINE when cloning a domain controller.” In that case, the answer is D.
