Explanation
The first step in moving the Active Directory database to another location is to first bring down Active Directory services on that computer, as it locks the ntds.ditfile containing the Active Directory database. This was traditionally done only by rebooting a computer in DSRM, but this Microsoft 70-648 Exam would not minimize impact on the network for DC1 as it also operates the DHCP and file server roles. Server 2008 added the ability to manage AD as a service, which would only bring down AD but would not impact the DHCP and file server roles. Safe Mode does not provide access to directory services restoration and would not minimize impact to the network. The same applies for Windows PE.
