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 run the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT).
Does this meet the goal?

A. B.B
Instead migrate sysvol from FRS to Distributed File System (DFS) Replication.
Note: Do I need to change SYSVOL replication from FRS to DFS? If your domain is built based on Windows server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2, you are already using DFS for SYSVOL replication. If you originally migrated from Windows server 2003, it's more likely you are still using FRS. In that case, before migration, you need to change the SYSVOL replication method from FRS to DFS.

The Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) is a tool used for migrating Active Directory objects (such as users, groups, and computers) between domains in the same forest, or between different forests. It is not designed to replace or upgrade domain controllers, which is the goal in this scenario.
To add the first domain controller that runs Windows Server 2022, you need to follow a different set of steps. Here are the high-level steps to add a new domain controller:
- Install Windows Server 2022 on the new server that will become the domain controller.
- Install the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) role on the server.
- Promote the server to a domain controller by using the Active Directory Domain Services Configuration Wizard.
- Follow the wizard to create a new domain controller and configure the appropriate options (such as the domain and forest functional levels).
- Transfer any FSMO roles that the new domain controller should hold.
- Verify that the new domain controller is functioning properly by running tests and checking replication status.
Note that before adding the new domain controller, you may need to perform some preparatory steps, such as updating the schema or upgrading the forest functional level, to ensure compatibility with Windows Server 2022.
In summary, the correct solution to meet the goal of adding the first domain controller that runs Windows Server 2022 is to install and configure the new server as a domain controller, not to use the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT). Therefore, the answer to the question is B. No.
