Your company has offices in Miami, Singapore and Montreal. An Active Directory site exists for each
office.
You have an Exchange Server 2013 organization that contains a server in each site. Each server has
the Mailbox server role and the Client Access Server role installed.
All users connect to the Miami servers to retrieve the public folder hierarchy.
You need to create several public folders on the server in the Singapore office to meet the following
requirements:
Ensure that the public folders are available if a single Mailbox server fails.
Ensure that the users in the Singapore office connect to their local server to retrieve the public
folder hierarchy.
Which actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all
that apply.)
A.
Create a new public folder mailbox.
B.
Create a new public folder database.
C.
Run the Add-MailboxDatabaseCopy cmdlet.
D.
For each mailbox in the Singapore office, run the Set-Mailbox cmdlet and specify the –
defaultpublicfoldermailbox parameter.
E.
Run the Set-PublicFolderDatabase cmdlet.
F.
For each public folder mailbox, run the Set-Mailbox cmdlet and specify the –
defaultpublicfoldermailbox parameter.
I agree with A and D but not sure about C. I always thought you had to have a DAG to be able to use add-mailboxdatabasecopy
Looking on the internet it looks like E is not longer a cmdlet in 2013.
Just doing A and D however would not keep the public folders available if a mailbox server fails, so for that reason only I would probably go with the answer above.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing when I was looking at this question. I overlooked C because in the question there is nothing mentioned about DAGs and I’m certain as well to use this cmdlet the server needs to be in a DAG per technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298105(v=exchg.160).aspx
But you are right that just A and D does nothing if a exchange server went down. B and E aren’t relevant in Exchange 2013 because Public Folders went from being their own database to just becoming regular mailboxes and hosted on the mailbox databases. F isn’t right because you use set-mailbox on each user mailbox not the public folder mailbox to assign which users use which one as their default. This leaves only A and D as 100% right but I guess C is right too just to satisfy the requirement of the question even though nothing about a DAG is mentioned??? I really hate Microsoft with their troll questions especially when it says choose all that apply instead of pick 3 so it’s more clear!
