You are the Exchange administrator for your company. The Tokyo office has six servers that run Exchange Server 2003. The Osaka office has four servers that run Exchange Server 2003. The servers are all in a single routing group.
The WAN administrator reports a large amount of e-mail traffic on the network connection between the Tokyo and Osaka offices.
The traffic is interfering with critical line-of-business database applications that must run during business hours.
The database servers are in the Tokyo office, but many of the users are in the Osaka office.
The large amount of WAN traffic is caused by e-maiI messages that have large attachments.
You need to ensure that large e-mail messages are delivered between offices only after business hours.
What should you do?
A.
Define global size limits for inbound and outbound messages.
B.
Define message size limits on all SMTP virtual servers in both offices.
C.
Create a routing group that contains the Exchange servers in the Osaka office. Create an SMTP connector to connect the Osaka and Tokyo routing groups that schedules the ETRN connection time.
D.
Create a routing group that contains the Exchange servers in the Osaka office. Create a routing group connector between the routing groups in the Osaka and Tokyo offices that uses a specified delivery time for oversized messages.
Explanation:
Using a Routing Group Connector that has a specified delivery time for oversized messages is the Microsoft recommended way of connecting between routing groups that are in the same organization
Incorrect answers:
A, B. Message size limits on inbound and outbound SMTP servers Global Limits would help the problem, but would prevent large messages from passing.
Also, using only one group, there is a lot of unnecessary traffic generated between servers.
C. SMTP connectors are designed for networks that are not well connected. This does not seem to be the case here.
