Question 217 Question of the Week 03/23-03/30

Lets have a few more Questions, shall we?

You are the administrator of your company's network. Your company's main office is in Seattle. Large regional offices are located in the following locations:
Chicago
Los Angeles
New York

Three smaller branch offices are located within each region. The regional offices are connected to the main office by T1 lines. The branch offices are connected to the regional offices by ISDN lines. Branch offices in Boston, Dallas, and San Diego also have direct ISDN connections with Seattle. The network consists of one Windows 2000 domain. For fault tolerance and load balancing purposes, each office has its own Windows 2000 domain controller. Each office is configured as its own site. All site links have been created.

You want to create a replication topology that allows only the regional offices to communicate with the main office. You want to ensure that each branch office communicates only with the closest regional office.

What should you do?

A. Manually create connection objects between the domain controllers in the main office and the regional offices Use SMTP as the transport protocol.

B. Manually create connection objects between each branch office and the closest regional office. Use SMTP as the transport protocol.

C. Allow the Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) to automatically create the connection objects between the main office and all other offices.

D. Allow the Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) to automatically create the connection objects between the branch offices and the regional offices.

We'll see ya' on the Weekend for the Answer!

A&B

Although you will need a CA for this answer, as far as I can see you can't use KCC as this will create links from the main office to some branch offices under certain conditions and from the branch offices to other regional offices depending on other conditions.

The way the question is worded makes it sound like you don't want these links to ever occur.

It's a nasty question though and I certainly don't profess to be too confident with my answer.

You do B. By making site links from the branch sites to the regional sites you assure that the branch sites do their updates through the regional sites as you wanted. The KCC will automatically configure the regional sites to update from the domain, so you don't have to do A. The KCC MAY arrange some of the smaller sites to update directly since they have direct lines.

Sorry about the Delay...
The Answer was indeed C.

The domain controllers must be in different domains and in different sites (inter-site) for you to use SMTP. In most cases, choose RPC over IP for replication within a site (replication within a site should take place over reliable, high-speed connections). "Create connections between the branch and regional offices" is out because there is no mention of the main office, which is a requirement. That leaves the answer C.

I still vote for B

I don't believe that the sites have to be in different domains to use SMTP between them. It is also not required to use links in all locations if you use any. If you create the links between the branches and the regions, the KCC will make the connections between the regions and the main site. I still vote for B.
