Why each option

To ensure User1 is a local administrator on an RODC while adhering to least privilege, use Computer Management.

ASystem Configuration

System Configuration (msconfig.exe) is used for managing system startup options, not for configuring local user group memberships.

Bdsmgmt.exe

dsmgmt.exe is a command-line tool for managing directory service roles and objects, but it is not the primary or most straightforward tool for adding a domain user to a local group on a server with least administrative effort.

CComputer ManagementCorrect

Computer Management (compmgmt.msc) provides the 'Local Users and Groups' snap-in, which is the standard graphical interface to manage local group memberships on a Windows Server. This allows you to specifically add User1 to the local Administrators group on RODC1, providing precise control and adhering to the principle of least privilege.

DActive Directory Sites and Services

Active Directory Sites and Services is used to manage the AD DS topology, replication, and site-specific settings, not for managing local users and groups on individual servers.
