What action is being performed in the following session?
The session shown is using the ntdsutil utility to create an Install from Media (IFM) set. This process involves creating a copy of the Active Directory database and related files that can be used for purposes such as backup, disaster recovery, or deploying additional domain controllers. The steps include activating the NTDS instance and then issuing the 'ifm create full c:\ntds' command to generate the full backup in the specified location. This action is consistent with creating a rescue boot disc rather than gathering Active Directory hashes, escalating privileges, or dumping information from the LSASS.EXE process.
ChatGPT The provided commands are using the ntdsutil utility to perform an "Install from Media" (IFM) operation, creating a copy of the Active Directory database and related files. This is often done for backup, disaster recovery, or deployment purposes. Therefore, the correct answer is: C.
