QuestionQ124

VerifiedNetwork Penetration Testing Methodology – Internal

John, a network administrator, is configuring Active Directory roles on the primary domain controller (DC) server. While configuring the Flexible Single Master Operation (FSMO) roles on the primary DC, he set up a role to synchronize time across all DCs in an enterprise. This role also records password changes made by other DCs in the domain, authentication failures caused by an incorrect password, and account lockout activities.

Which FSMO role has John configured?

Explanation

The PDC emulator acts as the authoritative time source for domain controllers and performs key password and account-lockout functions, including expedited password-change replication, processing bad-password authentication attempts, and account lockout handling.
