You are the Exchange administrator for your company. The Exchange organization is shown in the exhibit.
In the Paris routing group, Mail2 runs Exchange Server 2003, and Mail3 runs Exchange Server 5.5. Mail2 is configured as the bridgehead server for all routing group connectors in the Paris routing group.
Mail3 is configured as the bridgehead server for the X.400 connector in the Paris routing group. Mailboxes for all Paris users are on Mail3.
Mail2 is shut down for repairs. Users who have mailboxes on Mail1 report that there is an unusual delay in the delivery of messages to Paris recipients.
You discover that messages between London users and Paris users are being forwarded to the servers in the following sequence: Mail1, Mail4, Mail5, Mail6, and Mail3.
You need to ensure that messages are delivered as quickly as possible between the London and Paris routing groups. You do not want to alter the normal flow of messages between any of the other sites or routing groups.
What should you do?
A.
Increase the cost of all site connectors to 25.
B.
Decrease the cost on the routing group connector between London and Paris to 5.
C.
Decrease the cost of the X.400 connector between the London and Paris routing groups to 20.
D.
Modify the routing group connector between the London and Paris routing groups to add Mail3 to the list of bridgehead servers in the Paris routing group.
Explanation:
There must be a routing group connector between routing groups if you want to be able to send mail between them. In this case we have two links.
They told us that Mail2 is shut down forrepairs. Mail2 is also the bridgehead server for all routing group connectors in the Paris routing group.
If Mail2 is down, the new server in routing group is Mail3. The only way to go from London to Paris will be based on cost.
If we add Mail3 to the list of London routing group connector and because this server is Exchange 2003, and because
by default the cost will be 10, the mail will be flow through the site connector between Mail1 and Mail4
