Which master handles updating an object's SID and distinguished name?

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

Answer: (A)

The Infrastructure Master is the one that handles updating references to objects as they are renamed or moved across domains, which includes ensuring that other domains reflect the correct distinguished name and, in cross-domain scenarios, the correct identifiers like the SID. When an object’s DN changes due to a rename or a move, or when other domains reference that object, the Infrastructure Master coordinates the update so cross-domain references don’t become stale. The RID Master is responsible for issuing SIDs to new objects within a domain, but it doesn’t manage cross-domain reference updates. The Schema Master and Domain Naming Master handle schema changes and forest-wide naming changes, respectively, and the PDC Emulator handles time, password, and policy-related roles.
