Exam 70-413 topic 1 question 70 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's 70-413

Question #: 70
Topic #: 1

Your company has a main office, ten regional datacenters and 100 branch offices.
You are designing the site topology for an Active Directory forest named contoso.com.
The forest will contain the following servers:
* In each regional datacenter and in the main office, a domain controller that runs Windows Server 2012
* In each branch office, a file server that runs Windows Server 2012
You have a shared folder that is accessed by using the path \\contoso.com\shares\software. The folder will be replicated to a local file server in each branch office by using Distributed File System (DFS) replication.
You need to recommend an Active Directory site design to meet the following requirements:
* Ensure that users in the branch offices will be authenticated by a domain controller in the closest regional datacenter.
* Ensure that users automatically connect to the closest file server when they access \\contoso.com\shares\software.
How many Active Directory sites should you recommend?

A. 1
B. 10
C. 11
D. 111

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
One site for the main office, one site for each regional office (10 in total) as users must connect to the closest domain server which is located at the regional office level, and one site for each branch office (100 in total as users must connect to the closest file server which are located at the branch office level. This adds up to
111.

Yeah, I'd say 111, DFS is site aware, you need clients at each branch office to be aware of the closest target DFS target, which is in their office. So site for each branch office, site for each data centre and site for main office. 111.
