Within the Manage AD DS operations master roles (FSMO) section of the AZ-800 materials, Microsoft documents multiple supported methods to identify role holders. The guidance states that the command-line utility NETDOM can enumerate all FSMO roles with: netdom query fsmo. The output lists the Schema Master, Domain Naming Master, RID Master, PDC Emulator, and Infrastructure Master, each with the current role holder's FQDN. The course notes emphasize that this method is fast, non-interactive, and does not require specific MMC snap-ins, making it suitable for both Server Core and remote administration scenarios. Because the command returns the PDC Emulator holder explicitly in its results, running netdom.exe query fsmo does meet the goal of identifying which server is the PDC Emulator for the domain. This aligns with best practices for quick verification of FSMO placement during operations such as time service verification, password update convergence checks, or when planning FSMO transfers and seizures.
