https://activedirectorypro.com/how-to-check-fsmo-roles/Yes, the provided solution of running "netdom.exe query fsmo" from a command prompt meets the goal of identifying which server is the PDC emulator for the contoso.com domain.
Explanation: In an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) environment, the PDC emulator is a domain controller that performs a number of critical functions, including maintaining time synchronization and processing password changes. To identify which server is the PDC emulator for a given domain, you can use the "netdom.exe query fsmo" command. This command will query the Flexible Single Master Operations (FSMO) roles assigned to each domain controller in the domain, and return information about which server is currently holding each role. The PDC emulator role is one of the FSMO roles in AD DS, and the command will display the server currently holding that role.
Therefore, running "netdom.exe query fsmo" from a command prompt is an appropriate and valid solution for identifying the PDC emulator server for the contoso.com domain.
