Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements.
Your company has an Active Directory forest with a single domain, named weylandindustries.com. They also have an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant with the same name.
You have been tasked with integrating Active Directory and the Azure AD tenant. You intend to deploy Azure AD Connect.
Your strategy for the integration must make sure that password policies and user logon limitations affect user accounts that are synced to the Azure AD tenant, and that the amount of necessary servers are reduced.
Solution: You recommend the use of federation with Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS).
Does the solution meet the goal?

- "password policies and user logon limitations affect user accounts that are synced to the Azure AD tenant" → Federation or PTA - "the amount of necessary servers are reduced" → Federation > PTA > PHS (number of server) So the answer is PTA.

Agreed, while federation would force user logon limitations it would require minimum 4 servers (2 ADFS/2 WAP).

While federation with AD FS enforces real-time password policies, it increases server count, violating the "reduce number of servers" requirement

Selected Answer: B
Answer: B, No Reason: Federation with AD FS doesn't meet the requirement to reduce server count as it requires additional infrastructure including multiple AD FS servers and web application proxies for high availability.

No because ADFS does anything but 'reduce the amount of necessary servers'.

A federated authentication system relies on an external trusted system to authenticate users. Some companies want to reuse their existing federated system investment with their Azure AD hybrid identity solution. The maintenance and management of the federated system falls outside the control of Azure AD. It's up to the organization by using the federated system to make sure it's deployed securely and can handle the authentication load.

the solution of using federation with Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) meets the goal of integrating Active Directory and the Azure AD tenant while making sure that password policies and user logon limitations affect user accounts that are synced to the Azure AD tenant, and reducing the number of necessary servers. Federation with AD FS allows for a single sign-on (SSO) experience for users, where they can authenticate with their on-premises Active Directory credentials and gain access to resources in both the on-premises environment and in the cloud. This ensures that password policies and user logon limitations applied to on-premises Active Directory also apply to Azure AD.(ChatGPT)

The correct answer is B However, correct answer is SSO + PHS as it enforces two password policies (Password complexity policy and Password expiration policy also User Logon Restrictions) and it doesnt require any agents.

Can go with PTA and Standby PHS. Need to think of ADFS only when third party application authentication is required. Question doesn't speak about third-party apps. So you don't need ADFS.

The 'correct answer' misses the point. You have recommended (in a badly stated fashion) 2 options: (1) PTA and (2) PHS with SSO. Option 2 does not care about your on prem settings, but option 1 does. Since you recommend both options and only one does the job, mission failed. This answer is incorrect (but not for the reason mentioned in 'correct answer').
