You are the Exchange administrator for your company. The company has eight branch offices in addition to the main office. All network computers are members of a single Active Directory domain. Each office has 1,000 users, two domain controllers, and one server running Exchange Server 2003. Microsoft Outlook 2003 is the only email client in use. Users often schedule meetings by using Outlook’s meeting scheduling feature. They report that the available and unavailable times for other users are frequently incorrect, especially for users located in other offices. You discover that the availability information for a user can be as much as two days out of date when viewed by users in other offices.
You need to ensure that availability information is as accurate as possible in all offices. What should you do?
A.
Configure all Active Directory site links and site link bridges to increase the frequency of Active Directory replication.
B.
Configure all Exchange servers to increase the frequency of public folder replication with other Exchange servers.
C.
Instruct all users to configure the Microsoft Office Internet Free/Busy Service in Outlook 2003.
D.
Install Microsoft Schedule+ 7.0 on all client computers in all offices.
Explanation:
Usually The Public folders are out of date because replication is not happening often enough. This is especially true in larger
organizations where a folder may be a replica of a replica they have two DC and just one server running Exchange 2003 per office
this means that they have 9 Exchange servers, In this way an organization architecture like this and if Public Folders are not
configured with the defaukts values if possible to get a two days delay for Schedule+ Free Busy Folder, By default schedule + free
busy connector use the default settings for replication interval with is inherit from Public Store setting. That by default is always run
that means each 15 minutes or message limit of 300 Kb They told us that the availability information for a user can be as much as
two days out of date this means that they are not using the defaults setting for schedule + free busy connector folder They also tell us
that they are using outlook 2003 as mail client with the Microsoft� Office Internet Free/Busy Service, users can publish their
free/busy times to a shared Internet location or an Exchange server. Members of the service can view each other�s free/busy
information and can help to control which members have access to their information. Because they do not tell us that there is any
bandwidth constrain, a best solution is answer B.
Incorrect answer:
A. Increasing the frequency of AD replication could potentially make the situation worse, as more network traffic is generated to
the remote offices. In any event, this will not resolve the problem as the Public Folders are out of date, not Active Directory.
C. They can do it in this way but best answer will be B.
D. Installing Schedule+ 7.0 on all client computers will remove functionality. In addition, the problem is not that the data can�t be
seen. The problem is that the data seen is out of date. No client will change that issue.
