Question: What is the PDC Emulator role in Active Directory?

Answer: The Primary Domain Controller (PDC) Emulator is a role in Active Directory that plays a crucial role in backward compatibility with older Windows NT systems. It acts as the primary time source for the domain and handles certain authentication requests.

Example:

If a user's password is changed, the PDC Emulator ensures that the change is replicated to all other domain controllers.
