Topic 1, Fabrikam, Inc
Overview
Fabrikam, Inc., is a pharmaceutical company located in Europe. The company has 5,000 users.
The company is finalizing plans to deploy an Exchange Server 2013 organization.
The company has offices in Paris and Amsterdam.
Existing Environment
Active Directory Environment
The network contains an Active Directory domain named fabrikam.com. An Active Directory
site exists for each office.
Network Infrastructure
The roles and location of each server are configured as shown in the following table.
Client computers run either Windows 7 or Windows 8 and have Microsoft Office 2010 installed.
The Paris office uses the 192.168.1.0/24 IP range. The Amsterdam office uses the 192.168.2.0/24 IP range.
The offices connect to each other by using a high-speed, low-latency WAN link. Each office has a 10-Mbps
connection to the Internet.
Planned Exchange Infrastructure
The company plans to deploy five servers that run Exchange Server. The servers will be configured as shown
in the following table.
The company plans to have mailbox databases replicated in database availability groups (DAGs). The mailbox
databases and DAGs will be configured as shown in the following table.
DAG1 will use FS1 as a file share witness. DAG2 will use FS3 as a file share witness.
You plan to create the following networks on each DAG:
A dedicated replication network named DAGNET1
A MAPI network named DAGNET2
All replication traffic will run on DAGNET1. All client connections will run on DAGNET2. Client connections must
never occur on DAGNET1. Replication traffic must only occur on DAGNET2 if DAGNET1 is unavailable.
Each Exchange Server 2013 Mailbox server will be configured to have two network adapters.
The following two mailbox databases will not be replicated as part of the DAGs:
A mailbox database named AccountingDB that is hosted on EX1
A mailbox database named TempStaffDB that is hosted on EX4EDGE1 will have an Edge Subscription configured, with both EX1 and EX2 as targets.
Requirements
Planned Changes
An external consultant reviews the Exchange Server 2013 deployment plan and identifies the following areas of
concern:
The DAGs will not be monitored.
Multiple Edge Transport servers are required to prevent the potential for a single point of failure.
Technical Requirements
Fabrikam must meet the following technical requirements:
Email must be evaluated for SPAM before the email enters the internal network.
Production system patching must minimize downtime to achieve the highest possible service to users.
Users must be able to use the Exchange Control Panel to autonomously join and disjoin their department’s
distribution lists.
Users must be able to access all Internet-facing Exchange Server services by using the names of
mail.fabrikam.com and autodiscover.fabrikam.com.
The company establishes a partnership with another company named A. Datum Corporation. A Datum uses the SMTP suffix adatum.com for all email addresses. Fabrikam plans to exchange sensitive information with A.
Datum and requires that the email messages sent between the two companies be encrypted. The solution must
use Domain Security.
Users in the research and development (R&D) department must be able to view only the mailboxes of the users
in their department from Microsoft Outlook. The users in all of the other departments must be prevented from
viewing the mailboxes of the R&D users from Outlook.
Administrators plan to produce HTML reports that contain information about recent status changes to the
mailbox databases.
Fabrikam is evaluating whether to abort its plan to implement an Exchange Server 2010 Edge Transport server
and to implement a Client Access server in the Paris office instead. The Client Access server will have antispam agents installed.
###EndCaseStudy###
You are evaluating the implementation of a second Edge Transport server named EDGE2 in the Amsterdam
office.
You need to recommend which tasks must be performed to ensure that email messages can be sent by the
organization if a single Edge Transport server fails.
Which three actions should you include in the recommendation?
To answer, move the three appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in
the correct order.

Explanation:
Configure Edge Transport Server Using Cloned Configuration
You can use the provided Shell scripts to duplicate the configuration of a computer that has the Microsoft
Exchange Server 2010 Edge Transport server role installed.
This process is referred to as cloned configuration. Cloned configuration is the practice of deploying new Edge
Transport servers based on the configuration information from a previously configured source server.
The configuration information from the previously configured source server is copied and exported to an XML
file, which is then imported to the target server.
Edge Transport server configuration information is stored in Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD
LDS) and isn’t replicated among multiple Edge Transport servers. By using cloned configuration, you can make
sure that every Edge Transport server that’s deployed in the perimeter network is operating by using the same
configuration.
These scripts are located in the \\scripts folder in your Exchange installation folder. The default location for this
folder is C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft\\Exchange Server\\Scripts.
exportedgeconfig.ps1
This script exports all user-configured settings and data from an Edge Transport server and stores that data in
an XML file.importedgeconfig.ps1
During the validate configuration step, the ImportEdgeConfig.ps1 script checks the XML file to see whether the
server-specific export settings are valid for the target server.
If settings have to be modified, the script writes the invalid settings to an answer file that you modify to specify
the target server information that’s used during the import configuration step.
During the import configuration step, the script imports all user-configured settings and data that’s stored in the
intermediate XML file that was created by the ExportEdgeConfig.ps1 script.
Send Connectors In Microsoft Exchange Server 2013, a Send connector controls the flow of outbound
messages to the receiving server.
They are configured on Mailbox servers running the Transport service.
Most commonly, you configure a Send connector to send outbound email messages to a smart host or directly
to their recipient, using DNS.
Exchange 2013 Mailbox servers running the Transport service require Send connectors to deliver messages to
the next hop on the way to their destination.
Send connectors that are created on Mailbox servers are stored in Active Directory and are available to all
Mailbox servers running the Transport service in the organization.
Edge Subscription
The Edge Subscriptions management role enables administrators to manage edge synchronization and
subscription configuration between Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Edge
Transport servers and Microsoft
Exchange Server 2013 Mailbox servers in an organization.
Edge Transport servers deployed with Microsoft Exchange are deployed in an organization’s on-premises
perimeter network The Edge Subscription file is used in the EdgeSync process, and it contains information
about the credentials that are used during the LDAP communication process. These credentials are used to
authenticate and authorize the connection between Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service (AD LDS)
and Active Directory during replication.
Although creating an Edge Subscription is optional, subscribing an Edge Transport server to the Exchange
organization provides a simpler management experience for the administrator and enhances the available
antispam features. You must create an Edge Subscription if you plan to use recipient lookup or safelist
aggregation, or if you plan to help secure SMTP communications with partner domains by using mutual
Transport Layer Security (TLS).
Edge2 is the new edge transport server therefore have to create a new edge subscription for Edge2.
Cloned configuration doesn’t duplicate the Edge Subscription settings of a server. The certificates used by the
Microsoft Exchange EdgeSync service aren’t cloned.
You must run the EdgeSync process separately for each Edge Transport server. The MicrosoftExchange EdgeSync service overwrites any settings included in both cloned configuration information and in
EdgeSync replication information.
After an Edge Transport server has been subscribed to the Exchange organization, the Microsoft Exchange
EdgeSync service replicates data from the Active Directory directory service to the Active Directory Application
Mode (ADAM) directory service instance on the Edge Transport server. The replicated data lets you implement
a wider range of anti-spam features and enables domain security functionality. The EdgeSync synchronization
process also lets you configure Send connectors and configuration objects that are common to both the
Exchange organization and the Edge Transport server on a Hub Transport server and then have that data
automatically populated to ADAM. The EdgeSync synchronization process keeps this data up to date by
performing scheduled synchronization.
However should it be created 1st or last in the answer selection.
The Microsoft Exchange EdgeSync service overwrites any settings included in both cloned configuration
information and in EdgeSync replication information
Therefore it should be last on the answer list.
