Certifications Quizzes MCSE 70-293 Exam

Question:
You have configured a Windows Server 2003 network across 3 different physical sites, Site 1, Site 2 and Site 3. Each of these sites has 2 domain controllers. One of these sites, Site 3 does not need replication. In between the other two sites Site 1 and Site 2, the domain controllers are named S1DC1, S1DC2, S2DC1 and S2DC2 respectively. You are required to configure replication between S1DC1 and S2DC1 only. What should you do? Choose the most practical solution.

Option A):
Configure S1DC2 and S2DC2 as Preferred Bridgehead Servers.
Option B):
Configure S1DC1 and S2DC1 as Preferred Bridgehead Servers
Option C):
Ensure there is a dedicated physical WAN link between S1DC1 and S2DC1 only for the purpose of replication.
Option D):
Configure S1DC2 and S2DC1 as Preferred Bridgehead Servers Standalone Servers

Correct Answer is Option B):
Configure S1DC1 and S2DC1 as Preferred Bridgehead Servers

Explanation:
A dedicated WAN link between the DCs for the purpose of replication is not a practical solution at all. Configuring either S1DC2 or S2DC2 as a preferred Bridgehead server will not achieve the desired replication as stated in the question statement.
Since you are required to configure replication between S1DC1 and S2DC1 only, You must configure S1DC1 and S2DC1 as Preferred Bridgehead Servers.
