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 upgrade the PDC emulator.
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.
https://www.rebeladmin.com/2021/09/step-by-step-guide-active-directory-migration-from-windows-server-2008-r2-to-windows-server-2022/The solution provided, which is to upgrade the PDC emulator, is not sufficient to meet the goal of being able to add the first domain controller that runs Windows Server 2022. While upgrading the PDC emulator is important, it is not the only step required in preparing the Active Directory environment for the introduction of domain controllers running Windows Server 2022.
In order to prepare the environment for domain controllers running Windows Server 2022, a number of steps need to be taken. These steps include:
Verifying that the domain and forest functional levels are at least Windows Server 2008 or higher. The functional levels of the domain and forest can be raised using the Active Directory Domains and Trusts console.
Updating the schema to support Windows Server 2022. This can be done by running the Adprep.exe tool, which is included with Windows Server 2022.
Ensuring that all existing domain controllers are running Windows Server 2008 or higher. If any domain controllers are running earlier versions of Windows Server, they should be upgraded or decommissioned.
Verifying that the Active Directory environment is healthy, including checking for any replication issues, DNS issues, or other problems that could prevent the introduction of new domain controllers.
Configuring SYSVOL replication to use Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) instead of the older File Replication Service (FRS). This is necessary because SYSVOL replication using FRS is not supported on domain controllers running Windows Server 2022.
Therefore, while upgrading the PDC emulator is an important step in the process of preparing for the introduction of domain controllers running Windows Server 2022, it is not the only step required. Thus, the solution provided does not meet the goal, and the answer is B. No.
