B

Yes, the provided solution meets the goal of identifying the PDC emulator for the domain.

In an Active Directory domain, the PDC (Primary Domain Controller) emulator is responsible for providing backward compatibility for down-level clients, managing time synchronization, and performing certain password-related functions, among other things.

To identify which server is the PDC emulator for the domain, you can use Active Directory Domains and Trusts console. The provided solution correctly directs you to right-click Active Directory Domains and Trusts in the console tree and then select Operations Master.

The Operations Master dialog box will show which server currently holds the PDC emulator role for the domain. If needed, you can also use this dialog box to transfer the PDC emulator role to a different server.

Therefore, the solution provided in the question is correct and meets the goal of identifying the PDC emulator for the domain.
