DRAG DROP
You have an Exchange Server 2007 organization. You are migrating the organization to Exchange
Server 2013. The migration will last eight weeks. All servers are in a site named Site1. The servers in
the organization are configured as shown in the following table. Users who have mailboxes on all of
the servers will access Outlook Anywhere by using the mail.adatum.com name. You need to
recommend which servers must be associated to the autodiscover.adatum.com and
mail.adatum.com names. Which servers should you identify for each name? (To answer, drag the
appropriate servers to the correct names. Each server may be used once, more than once, or not at
all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.)
Explanation:
INCOMPLETE INFORMATION
MAKES IT TOO DIFFICULT TO EVEN GUESS HOW TO ARRIVE AT THE CORRECT ANSWER
MAY DEPEND ON THE TYPE OF SERVER (MAILBOX OR CLIENT ACCESS SERVER THAT IS IN USE OR
THE VERSION OF OUTLOOK BEING USED
TO DETERMINE IF AUTODISCOVER CAN BE UTILISED ON THAT PARTICULAR SERVER.
WHEN CAN YOU USE AUTODISCOVER WHEN CAN YOU NOT USE AUTODISCOVER
Autodiscover
Exchange Autodiscover is a service which is run on Exchange Client Access Servers.
It is one of the new features it included in exchange 2007+
The Autodiscover service makes it easier to configure Outlook 2007 ,Outlook 2010 + and some
mobile phones.
Autodiscover Service cannot be used with earlier versions of Outlook, including Outlook 2003.
In earlier versions of Microsoft Exchange (Exchange 2003 SP2 or earlier) and Outlook (Outlook 2003
or earlier), you had to configure all user profiles manually to access Exchange.
The Autodiscover service uses a user’s e-mail address and password to automatically configure a
user’s profile. Using the e-mail address, the Autodiscover service provides the following information
to the client:
The user’s display name.
Separate connection settings for internal and external connectivity.
The location of the user’s Mailbox server.
The URLs for various Outlook features that manage functionality such as OOF, free/busy
information, Unified Messaging, and the offline address book.
Outlook Anywhere server settings.Additionally, a new Active Directory object named the service connection point (SCP) is created on
the server where you install the Client Access server role. And Autodiscover information is stored in
it.
Exchange 2013 requires its Outlook clients support auto-discovery of the server; this is in part to
help streamline cloud deployments of Exchange. Clients also have to support “Outlook Anywhere”
access—remote procedure calls via HTTP—to connect to Exchange 2013 instead of using TCP-based
RPCs as in older versions of Exchange.
What actually happens after you have entered your details is that the client looks for
autodiscover.yourdomain.com and attempts to retrieve the rest of the server configuration details
from there.
I can’t post an image of the missing table for this question but here is a screen shot of it with Puush. (a very handy piece of software if security isn’t a major concern…)

4 & 5 are the correct answers because they are the 2013 CAS servers in this deployment.
Way to go Hammer….and please don’t hurt em
