Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure (AZ-800) Practice

Which tool can you use to trigger an Active Directory schema update?

1. ADSI.MSC

2. Active Directory Domain Services Configuration Wizard

3. RSAT

4. Group Policy Management Console

The correct answer is: ADSI.MSC

The correct tool to trigger an Active Directory schema update is ADSI.MSC, which is the Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) Management Console. This console provides a graphical interface that allows administrators to view and manage objects stored in Active Directory, including making modifications to the schema. The schema is a crucial part of Active Directory that defines the types of objects in the directory and the attributes those objects can have. By using ADSI.MSC, administrators can connect to the schema directory partition and apply updates or changes directly. This makes it particularly suitable for schema updates, as it provides the necessary access and functionality for detailed schema management. The other options do not serve the specific purpose of triggering a schema update. The Active Directory Domain Services Configuration Wizard is primarily designed for setting up and configuring Active Directory environments rather than making schema changes. RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools) provides various tools for administering different aspects of Active Directory but does not directly trigger schema updates. The Group Policy Management Console focuses on managing Group Policy Objects and settings rather than schema modifications. ADSI.MSC stands out as the appropriate tool specifically for managing the Active Directory schema and facilitating updates to it.
