Your network contains an on-premises Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The forest contains the following domains:
✑ Contoso.com
✑ East.contoso.com
An Azure AD Connect server is deployed to contoso.com. Azure AD Connect syncs to an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant.
You deploy a new domain named west.contoso.com to the forest.
You need to ensure that west.contoso.com syncs to the Azure AD tenant.
Solution: You install a new Azure AD Connect server in west.contoso.com and set AD Connect to staging mode.
Does this meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
When Azure AD Connect is set to staging mode, this action makes the server active for import and synchronization, but it does not run any exports. A server in staging mode is not running password sync or password writeback, even if you selected these features during installation.

All that solution does is setup an additional AADC server which doesn't do any exports. You have to actually change the config to add the new domain into the sync. You can do it through the wizard or just flag that domain inside the sync manager.

Provided answer is correct. Explanation: When ADDC is set to staging mode, this action makes the server active for import and synchronization, but it does not run any exports. A server in staging mode is not running password sync or password writeback, even if you selected these features during installation.

Completely WRONG. A server in staging mode will not do any sync. That's what the active mode is for. You need to read the question - "You need to ensure that west.contoso.com syncs to the Azure AD tenant.". A staging mode server will not be able to do a sync.

Agree, they do not tell first was previously down to staging, new can not set new one as active first as staging During installation, you can select the server to be in staging mode. This action makes the server active for import and synchronization, but it does not run any exports. A server in staging mode is not running password sync or password writeback, even if you selected these features during installation. When you disable staging mode, the server starts exporting, enables password sync, and enables password writeback. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-sync-staging-server

You do get to add a second AD Connect if the second one is in staging mode...but it doesn't help with the new domain.
