Topic #: 1

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The physical topology of the network is configured as shown in the exhibit.
Each office contains 500 employees.
You plan to deploy several domain controllers to each office.
You need to recommend a site topology for the planned deployment.
What should you include in the recommendation?
More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.

Exhibit -

A. Five sites and one site link
B. Three sites and three site links
C. One site
D. Five sites and three site links

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
Create a site for each LAN, or set of LANs, that are connected by a high-speed backbone, and assign the site a name. Connectivity within the site must be reliable and always available.
This would mean 5 sites Site links are transitive, so if site A is connected to site B, and site B is connected to site C, then the KCC assumes that domain controllers in site A can communicate with domain controllers in site C. You only need to create a site link between site A and site C if there is in fact a distinct network connection between those two sites.

This would mean 3 sitelinks -
So, answer is "Five sites and three site links"

The person who provided that answer clearly has never implemented an AD topology. Good luck with that number of users authenticating to DCs over a 5mb WAN link. As someone already mentioned, you need each office to be a site to keep authentication requests from crossing WAN links. 5 sites/3 site links is the best answer from the choices given.

Best option would be five sites as each site will have domain controllers. Authentication for clients will then stick with domain controllers at their sites. High speed links between Washington, Atlanta and Boston so they can all go in one site link. Then just need site link from Atlanta to NY and Atlanta to Sydney. Odd that on exact same question here, 5 sites and 3 links its the option: https://www.examtopics.com/discussions/microsoft/view/13738-exam-70-413-topic-1-question-138-discussion/
