Question 1
You are employed at a company that has two offices linked via a WAN connection. Every server in the company’s environment has Windows Server 2016 installed.
The headquarters, located in Liverpool, hosts a Distributed File System (DFS) server named DFS- L. The other office, located in San Francisco, hosts a Distributed File System (DFS) server named DFS-SF.
You have previously configured a folder located on DFS-L to replicate to DFS-SF. As a result of users constantly adding files to the replicated folder, replication via the WAN connection has become too much during the course of the work day.
You are required to make sure that the bandwidth, used for replication during office hours, are minimized.
Solution: You change the properties of DFS-L.
Has the requirement been satisfied?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
No, this requirement has not been satisfied. Having a single DFS server in the Liverpool headquarters without proper replication configuration does not provide optimal file availability for users in remote offices connected via WAN. For effective DFS implementation, you should configure DFS Replication between the headquarters and remote office locations, establish multiple DFS targets for redundancy, configure DFS namespace for centralized file access, and implement proper site topology to ensure users access the closest available file server replica.
