A branch has a constrained WAN but can contact a healthy writable DC. The administrator wants to reduce the initial data transfer when adding a replica. Which approach fits?

Choose the single best answer.

A.Use installation from media and retain live DC connectivity
B.Use installation from media without any live DC access
C.Use an offline copied VM disk as an independent new DC
D.Create a second forest with the same DNS name

Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

Use installation from media and retain live DC connectivity

Installation from media reduces initial replication but still requires a live DC for remaining updates. An arbitrary VM disk copy is not a supported independent promotion workflow; removing all live connectivity defeats IFM requirements. A second forest does not add a replica to the existing domain.
