Question 30

By default Active Directory Controllers store password representations in which file?

    Correct Answer: B

    Active Directory stores its data, including user passwords, in a file named ntds.dit. The correct path for the Active Directory database file is %SystemRoot%/NTDS/ntds.dit, not %SystemRoot%.system32/ntds.dit. Thus, the correct answer is the option that specifies %SystemRoot%/NTDS/ntds.dit.

Discussion
devnullOption: B

I also think B is appropriate. Yes, %systemroot%/system32/ntds.dit exists, but it is a skeleton used to install Active Directory. The current database containing the user's password is %systemroot%/ntds/ntds.dit.
