Question
Your company has offices in New York and Seattle that are connected by using a dedicated WAN link.
The network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain. The domain contains four domain controllers, with two domain controllers in each office.
You need to minimize the bandwidth required to replicate AD DS data between the offices.
What should you do first?
Select only one answer.
Proposed answer
- Create an AD DS site for each office.
- Enable the Bridge All Site Links option.
- Enable the global catalog role on each domain controller.
- Run the
repadmin /kcccommand.
Correct answer
Create an AD DS site for each office.
- Correct - Creating an AD DS site for each office is the correct answer. AD DS sites represent the physical structure, or topology, of a network. AD DS uses site information to optimize replication and to locate the nearest servers when servicing client requests, thus minimizing the bandwidth for inter-office replication.
- Incorrect - Enabling the BASL option is not the first step to perform. This option is used when there are more than two sites to control how site links are bridged, but it does not directly reduce the bandwidth used for replication.
- Incorrect - Enabling the global catalog role on each domain controller might improve the efficiency of certain Active Directory operations, but it does not directly affect the bandwidth required for AD DS replication.
- Incorrect - The
repadmin /kcccommand is used to force the domain controller to immediately recalculate the inbound replication topology for a specific directory partition. It does not directly affect the bandwidth required for AD DS data replication.
