AZ-801: Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services

QuestionQ21

Secure Windows Server on-premises and hybrid infrastructures

Your network contains a single-domain Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest named contoso.com. The functional level of the forest is Windows Server 2012 R2. All domain controllers run Windows Server 2012 R2.

Sysvol replicates by using the File Replication Service (FRS).

You plan to replace the existing domain controllers with new domain controllers that will run Windows Server 2022.

You need to ensure that you can add the first domain controller that runs Windows Server 2022.

Solution: You raise both the domain and forest functional levels.

Does this accomplish the goal?

Explanation

Windows Server 2022 domain controllers cannot be added to a domain that uses File Replication Service (FRS) for SYSVOL replication. SYSVOL must first be migrated from FRS to Distributed File System Replication (DFSR); raising the domain and forest functional levels alone does not perform that migration.
