Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
In this scenario a Windows 2012 server has been added to a Windows 2003 network.
Note:
* Before adding your new Windows 2012 Domain Controller, or attempting to performaninplace upgrade of an existing Windows 2008 or 2008 R2 DC, you must make sure that the Schema is upgraded to support your new Windows 2012 DC, and that you prepare each domain where you plan to install Windows 2012 DCs.
To do this we can use the ADPREP.exetool found in the support\adprep folder on your installation media.
* Starting with Windows 2012 there is only one version of ADPREP available, and that is a 64-bit version.
* Adprep is the utility--included in the OS installation media--that performs several crucial functions to upgrade AD to support that OS. The utility has three major options: /forestprep, /domainprep, and /rodcprep. The /forestprep option runs first, extending the AD schema with new object and attribute classes that the new AD versionneeds. The /domainprep option creates new well-known objects in AD, App1ies security changes, and miscellaneous other bits. Finally, /rodcprep makes forest-wide security changes to allow read-only domain controller (RODC) functionality. The Windows Server2012 R2 version of adprep.exe can run on any server that runs a 64- bit version of Windows Server 2008 or later. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb726995.aspx http://www.ipuptime.net/Multicast.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg144561(v=exchg.141).aspx http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address

I think the answer is B - as adprep /domainprep /gpprep "Must be run on the infrastructure operations master for the domain" as stated in this Microsoft document, what do you guys think? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/dd464018(v=ws.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN
