Topic 3, Scenario 3
Background
General Background
You are employed as a SharePoint administrator at Weyland Industries. Weyland Industries has a
SharePoint 2010 environment configured at present. You are preparing to configure a SharePoint
2013 environment, which is intended for managing data and pooling resources with internal and
external associates. You are planning to migrate the current SharePoint environment to
SharePoint 2013.
Weyland Industries teams up with a few companies for design, manufacture, and sales purposes.
The design process is predicted to be improved due to the application of SharePoint 2013.
Technical Background
Weyland Industries has a single Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain, named
weylandindustries.com. Servers in the weylandindustries.com domain have Windows Server 2008
R2 installed. Active Directory is used to host and administer user-specific contact data. Weyland
Industries’ users are included in an organizational unit (OU), named WIUsers.
Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) has been implemented on the internal network, with
two AD FS proxy servers implemented on the external network. Weyland Industries users make
use of [email protected] to access their workstations.
Each company that Weyland Industries collaborates with has its own URL for accessing Weyland
Industries’ SharePoint environment. Each of these companies has a committed web application
and site collection configured. The default restrictions for each web application with regards to
uploads has been increased.
Weyland Industries has a current managed metadata service, which includes managed metadata.
The service also includes content types, which includes workflows that transfers data for the
duration of an item’s development.
Business Prerequisites
The SharePoint environment should for design, manufacturing, and sales data to be shared
between Weyland Industries and associates. It should also make a training site available for
internal and external users. Content writers should be able to upload documents, and large media
files that can be sorted by users according to type.
Associates should only be able to access content in their individual areas of the portal, while also
being restricted from including terms or generating enterprise keywords. Keywords and content
types should be shared amongst sites, site collections, and web applications.
Distinctive qualities and data with reference to uploaded items should be accumulated to allow for
search methods to be streamlined. Administrators should be able to promote search query results
throughout the environment.
External associates, contractors, and staff should be allowed to interact socially to encourage the
creation of new concepts. Profile data should be replicated to associate sites from the
https://weylandindustries.com site.
Third-party suppliers should have the ability to view and alter documents. Only friendly URLs
should be used for publishing sites. Furthermore, exclusive training media should be contained in
single files, and must be exhibited on the training site. The logging of modifications to sensitive
files should also be allowed for.
Technical Prerequisites
Large files should not be hosted by the SharePoint content database or databases. Servers
should be installed on virtual machines. search queries should be dealt with by web servers, and
multiple content types should be supported by all lists.
*********************************************************
You have received instructions to make sure that navigation for publishing sites is suitably
configured to meet the prerequisites.
Which of the following actions should you take?
A.
You should consider configuring the use of path-based site collections.
B.
You should consider configuring the site to make use of managed navigation.
C.
You should consider configuring the use of host-named site collection.
D.
You should consider configuring the site to make use of unconstrained navigation.
Explanation:
The correct answer seems to be
B. You should consider configuring the site to make use of managed navigation.
Is there any specific explanation in preferring “the use of path-based site collections”?
The background says each company has its own web app and site collection which is vague to me. Do these companies share a single web app and have their own site collection or do they really have there own web app as well. The guidance says no more than 10 web apps so it wouldn’t scale. The limits also state no more than 20 managed paths.
I think the key is the question refers to publishing and navigation and the background mentions the managed metadata service is configured so that would leave me to believe b would be the answer.

Thanks for clarifying Justin, I agree. Very vague but managed navigation seems to be the best suited answer.
