Case Study: 1
Fabrikam, Inc
Overview
General Overview
Fabrikam, Inc., is a plastics manufacturer. Fabrikam has an Exchange Server organization
that contains only servers that have Exchange Server 2013 installed.
Physical Locations
Fabrikam has two main offices. The main offices are located in Tampa and Charlotte. The
company has 8,000 users in each office.
Existing Environment
Active Directory Environment
Fabrikam has an Active Directory forest that contains one domain named fabrikam.com.
Each office is configured as an Active Directory site. The network contains four subnets. The
subnets are configured as shown in the following table.
All of the traffic from Subnet1 is routable to Subnet3. All of the traffic from Subnet2 is
routable to Subnet4. All client computers are on Subnet1 and Subnet3 only. Subnet
192.168.1.0/24 and subnet 192.168.10.0/24 are assigned as the MAPI network. The network
contains four domain controllers. The domain controllers are configured as shown in the
following table.
Network Infrastructure
The network contains the following components:
• Two 10-gigabits per second WAN links that connect the Tampa office and the
Charlotte office. The links have a latency of less than 15 ms.
• One IP-PBX that is located in the Tampa office. The IP-PBX can use only
unencrypted communications.
• An Internet connection in the Tampa office and an Internet connection the Charlotte
office.
Exchange Environment
The network contains six servers that have Exchange Server 2013 installed. The servers are
configured as shown in the following table.
The Exchange Server environment has the following configurations:
• Two data loss prevention (DLP) policies named DLP_Finance and DLP_PII.
DLP_Finance is based on a template named Financial Data – U.S. DLP_PII is based on a
template named PII (U.S.).
• A mailbox database named UM that hosts only Unified Messaging (UM)-enabled
mailboxes and is replicated between the Mailbox servers in the Tampa office only.
• A database availability group (DAG) named DAG1 that contains EX2, EX3, EX5,
and EX6. DAG1 is configured to use DHCP to obtain an IP address.
• A Send connector named Tampa SMTP that uses SMTP1 as a smart host. The cost of
the Tampa SMTP connector is 10.
• Mailbox servers in the Tampa office that provide outbound SMTP services to the
Internet.
• A UM dial plan named UMl.
• An SMTP relay device named SMTP2 in the Charlotte office.
• An SMTP relay device named SMTP1 in the Tampa office.
• No client access services are published to the Internet.
Requirements
Exchange Server Issues
• The current Exchange Server environment has the following issues:
• Due to power failures, the Exchange servers unexpectedly fail, causing databases to
fail over. During the database failovers, the preferred database is not activated, causing an
unexpected distribution of active databases.
• An IRM template named No Print or Screenshot is deployed, but the template fails to
prevent users from taking screenshots of email messages.
Technical Requirements
You identify the following technical requirements:
• Assign a static IP address to DAG1.
• Block all personally identifiable information (PII) data and financial data without
exception.
• Prevent the forwarding of email messages sent by users who have a value of Legal in
their Department field.
• Ensure that the members of a group named HR1 can search all of the mailboxes for
sensitive email content.
• Use Information Rights Management (IRM) to protect all of the voice mails left for
the telephone number of the human resource (HR) department.
• Implement an archiving policy that moves all of the email messages from the mailbox
folders to an Archive mailbox after 30 days and permanently deletes all of the email
messages after 365 days.
###EndCaseStudy###
The Internet link in the Tampa office will be unavailable during the weekend. You need to
ensure that all outbound email messages are sent from the Charlotte office during the
planned outage. What should you do?
A.
Modify the cost of the Tampa SMTP Send connector.
B.
Create a new mail exchanger (MX) record named SMTP2.fabrikam.com in the internal
DNS zone.
C.
Modify the smart host of the Tampa SMTP Send connector.
D.
Modify the preference value of the fabrikam.com mail exchanger (MX) records.
C might be easier.
I agree.
Or in reality, if you want to be safe, you might as well disable the Internet Send connector at the Tempa site so Charlotte send connector becomes the only valid choice.
