Exam 70-741 topic 1 question 126 discussion

correct answer is "E. New-SmbShare" and "A. New-DfsnFolderTarget"

Full question: "Your network contains an Active directory forest named contoso.com. The forest has a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace named \\contoso.com\namespace1/ The domain contains a file server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016. You create a folder named Folder1 on Server1. You need to use Folder1 as a target for Namespace1. Which two cmdlets should you use?" Install-WindowsFeature New-DfsnFolderTarget

correct answer A. New-DfsnFolderTarget C. Grant-DfsnAccess

Got this in a exam

I think it’s correct. B and C. It does not say the server has the DFS management tools on it that also include the powershell module, therefore all DFS commands will not work. So first, we need to install it —-> B. Install-WindowsFeature It does not say the folder Folder1 is shared, just created so at this point it is just a folder nothing else. Grant-DfsnAccess cmdlet grants permissions to users and groups for a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace folder. So we need to do —-> C. Grant-DfsnAccess

Simply put, If want to create a target for a DFS namespace folder, you have to create a folder that will be used as a target, share that folder, then create the target using the command New-DfsnFolderTarget

Hi guys not 100% sure but here my thoughs: DFS is already installed like metioned in the first sentence so we can exclude answer B: "You create a folder named Folder1 on Server1" is present tense so its the very last action we performed bevor the actual question starts means Answer E: is already done. an already created SMB-Folder on server1 will make Answer D: obsolete we just need to map the Folder to an DFS targed (Answer A:) and optional configure the access for the users. but as 2 actions are needed it's not optional in this question. so i belive A & C are correct

"E. New-SmbShare" and "A. New-DfsnFolderTarget"

A & E is the right answers

Correct is D,E To use New-DfsnFolderTarget, we first have to have a Folder created in the namespace and this is not the case, since only the namespace is created, therefore A is incorrect

The fact is I just spent about three (3) hrs using my lab setup to figure this out. The absolute true result is that A, D and E are all correct. I could configure the exact DFS share using either New-DfsnFolderTarget or New-DfsnFolder. Either of these commands would work. I'd probably select both for the answer, but you also need a existing SMB share to use them, so I was using the the New-SmbShare command. Exam doesn't mention if SMB share was already. It does mention that namespace was already configured (which is EXACTLY what I did before I did my tests). Answer B is not correct, and the Grant command isn't relevant (only gives perms to users). I still don't know exactly what answer Microsoft wants for the exam, but I do know their exam question lacks the details to select the correct answers. As it sits, three answers are correct (and two answers are redundant) Enough said. COMMANDS THAT ACTUALLY WORK: A. New-DfsnFolderTarget (redundant) D. New-DfsnFolder (redundant) E. New-SmbShare

Missing part in question: You need to use Folder1 as a target for Namespace1. Folder does not exist in namespace, only on file server so need to share the folder on the file server, create folder on namespace and give it a target. So DE is correct.

Tested in the lab. First you need to share the folder so E is 100% correct. But problem is in A & D. "New-DfsnFolder" and "New-DfsnFolderTarget" both will create a new folder in namespace1 and assign the target. But if you use "New-DfsnFolderTarget" you cannot set DFSN folder properties like "EnableInsiteReferals" and "EnableTargetFailBack", you can only set target folder properties like "ReferralPriorityClass" and "ReferralPriorityRank". But when we create a new DFSN folder, we consider "EnableInsiteReferals" and "EnableTargetFailBack" properties. So in my opinion the answer should be D, E.

The domain contains a file server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016. You create a folder named Folder1 on Server1. You need to use Folder1 as a target for Namespace1. Which two cmdlets should you use? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. A. Grant-DfsnAccess B. New-DfsnFolder C. New-DfsReplicatedFolder D. New-DfsnFolderTarget E. New-SmbShare F. Install-WindowsFeature This is the complete question According to this, the answer should be New-SmbShare New-DfsnFolderTarget

A and C are Correct answer

if the server dont have the feature, you must install the feature 2nd - you have to share the folder, 3rd - you have to create the "New-DfsnFolder" because there is no folder after namespace

A, E is correct answer, the DFS Namespace exist which mean the DFS feature had already installed, in this case we just create the folder then enable share, there is no other feature need to be install, therefore install new feature is not a correct one.
