Your network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named contoso.com.
You need to identify which server is the PDC emulator for the domain.
Solution: From Active Directory Domains and Trusts, you right-click Active Directory Domains and
Trusts in the console tree, and then select Operations Master.
Does this meet the goal?

Why do you think Server3 needs a secondary zone if the contoso.com replication scope is just domain-wide?
All Yes. I've seen a similar setup in practice exams, the replication scopes match so nothing unexpected here.
All Yes, matches what I've seen in exam practice and official guide references.
Yes, Yes, Yes. Similar question showed up on a practice set I did. Replication scopes line up with each statement - contoso.com only replicates to DNS servers in its domain, so Server2 syncs it but Server3 doesn't unless you add a secondary. Forest-wide scope on east.contoso.com means Server1 gets those records too. Pretty sure that's right, but open to corrections.
Probably A. You can see the Operations Master option in Domains and Trusts so I think it shows the PDC emulator. Not 100% sure if it's only for Domain Naming Master, but seems like it could work?
All Yes here. Had something like this in a mock and the key is the replication scope-domain-wide for contoso.com means Server3 needs a secondary, but everything else lines up for AD DNS replication. Pretty sure that's right but open to correction if I missed anything subtle.
Looks like all three statements are true here. The replication scopes match up: contoso.com only replicates to DNS servers in its domain, so Server2 gets updates but Server3 would need a secondary zone. east.contoso.com is set to forest-wide replication, so Server1 will get those records too. Someone correct me if I missed a detail, but pretty sure it's Yes for all.
B
All Yes for this one. Saw a scenario like it before, replication scopes match exactly as described.
Nah, Server3 doesn't get contoso.com directly without a secondary. All Yes is correct, that domain scope catches people.
Be respectful. No spam.
