Which master handles updates to the naming context?

• A. RID Master
• B. Domain Naming Master
• C. Schema Master
• D. PDC Emulator

Answer: (C)

Updates to the naming context are controlled by the FSMO role that owns the directory schema. The naming context in question here is the schema naming context, which defines all object classes and attributes in the forest. The Schema Master is the only domain controller that can apply changes to the schema, ensuring these updates are made once and then replicated correctly to all other DCs. Other FSMO roles handle different responsibilities—for example, the Domain Naming Master manages changes to the forest-wide domain namespace, the RID Master allocates unique IDs for new objects, and the PDC Emulator handles time and password-related tasks. So, for updates to the naming context itself, the Schema Master is the correct choice.
