Answer is Correct 1. Yes. Node 4 has the file server role and is in the same site as node 3. As node 4 is not assigned vote, this means that node 4 will not take part in voting but it can still run the file server service. Furthermore, in multi-stie configuration, failover preference will be on the node in the same site (node 4) 2. No. As node 1 is in the same site as node 2, the preference will be to failover the DFS role on node 1. 3. Yes Site 1 has 2 nodes with the DFS role. Even if site 2 fails, 3 votes will still be remaining (node1, node2 and cloud witness) which is sufficient to maintain quorum.

1 N: because the server doesn't have an assigned vote. the failover will not happen automatically to that server. 2 N: DF1 runs in node2 (site1), when a failover happens node1 will take over. 3 Y: Both servers in site 1 have the DFS namespace service.

I think the answer should be: N,Y,Y. Since Node4 does not have an assigned vote, it does not participate in quorum decisions. Therefore, FS1 cannot automatically fail over to Node4 if Node3 fails.
