You have an Exchange Server 2013 organization that contains one office in Los Angeles and one
office in New York.
All servers have the Mailbox server role and the Client Access server role installed and are members
of a data availability group (DAG) named DAG1. The servers and databases are shown in the exhibit.
(Click the Exhibit button.)
You need to ensure that if the active copy of NYDB01 fails, a server in the same site will attempt to
activate a copy of the database before a server in another site does. The solution must not influence
the activation of other database copies.
Which command should you run?
A.
suspend-mailboxdatabasecopy -identity nydb01\ex3 -activationonly
B.
set-mailboxserver -identity ex3 -autodatabasemountdial bestavailability
C.
suspend-mailboxdatabasecopy -identity nydb01\ex4 -activationonly
D.
set-mailboxserver -identity ex4 -autodatabasemountdial bestavailability.
Ex4 only option to suspend if NYDB01 on Ex3 or Ex5 fails
After some more research looks like answer is A. We don’t want to suspend -activationonly on ex4 if we want NYDB01 to failover to it from EX5 in the same site.

Someone else confirm.
I’m sure the wrong options are given here, seen this question somewhere else where we change the preference of the database on a server in the same site to 1
but having said that, I think if these are the correct options A would be correct…
If you suspend this copy of the database it cannot activate, the only servers therefore it has a copy on are EX4 and EX5
Suspend-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity NYDB01\EX3 -ActivationOnly
This example only suspends activation for the copy of the database NYDB01 hosted on the Mailbox server EX3.
A is correct
