Answer should be A.YES. You can do the same using both dsmgmt.exe or ntdsutil.exe in the proposed solution. We can also do it with Powershell command. You are using Seize, not Transfer option and we have to assume that ADLDS is installed. So, there are 3 possible correct answers: 1) Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole -Identity DC2.contoso.com -OperationMasterRole RIDMaster -Force 2) On DC2, you open the command prompt, run dsmgmt.exe, connect to DC2, and use the Seize RID master option 3) On DC2, you open the command prompt, run ntdsutil.exe, connect to DC2, and use the Seize RID master option https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/6736.powershell-move-transfering-or-seizing-fsmo-roles-to-another-domain-controller.aspx https://www.dtonias.com/seize-fsmo-roles-domain-controller/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/cc772302(v%3Dws.11)

I have to vote A. I have two DCs with clean installs and dsmgmt.exe is available on both without AD LDS role installed.

Yes, it is the truth. I have tried to do it on my lab (win2016 only) and the dsmgmt.exe is installed on both DC - desktop and core. My DCs have only ADDS role installed, no more.

the answer is 100000% yes. tested in lab. get two DCS up, turn the role holder off. go into cmd prompt and load dsmgmt.exe type roles then type seize rid master - wait for it to attempt a transfer, takes about 2 mins, then fails, then forces a 'seizure' (lol). do a netdom /query fsmo and you'll see the RID is now on the 'new' DC.

I think you already caught your mistake but just to reiterate it for anybody who missed it: You're aren't connecting to the failed DC1, you're connecting to the domain controller you want to take over: DC2

the question states you... use the Seize RID master opinion...which you do - so the answer is correct even though it gives no further detail about how you use the option - :)

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/cc732473(v%3Dws.11) DSmgmt.exe is only available if you have AD LDS installed. There's no mention of this role installed in the given scenario. Assuming the role is not installed, using DSmgmt.exe will fail because it does not exist.

I agree with Bobgross. Its No. You need AD LDS installed to use DSmgmt.exe. This is not installed by default when installing AD DS.

In the link you posted it is mentioned that dsmgmt is installed with ADLDS whereas ntdsutil is installed with both ADDS and ADLDS. Since the question makes no mention of ADLDS, I'd be wary of assuming that dsmgmt is installed. If it is though, then yes it would be correct

Thank you for your reply. I understood your suggestion. Since the question does not say that AD LDS is installed, Dsmgmt can't be used.

I think A is correct. The Seize RID master opinion is a common one. Ntdsutil and dsmgmt have same subcommand which is role. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/cc772302%28v%3dws.11%29

A is ok Question mentions you use dsmgmt which is available if you have AD LDS or RSAT installed. You cannot assume the cmd does not exist when it can actually do the task. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/cc772302(v=ws.11)
