A company deploys an Office 365 tenant in a hybrid configuration with Exchange Server 2013.
Office 365 users cannot see free/busy information that is published from the on-premises Exchange
Server. In addition, Exchange Server users cannot see free/busy information that is published from
Office 365.
You need to troubleshoot why users cannot access free/busy information from both Office 365 and
Exchange Server 2013.
Which tool should you run?
A.
The Hybrid Configuration wizard
B.
The Remote Connectivity Analyzer with the Exchange Server tab selected
C.
The Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer Tool
D.
The Remote Connectivity Analyzer with the Office 365 tab selected
https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/
The Microsoft Connectivity Analyze can also make this check:

Remote connectivoty Analyzer can be run outside user environment, whereas microsoft connectivity analyzer can’t. so I say C
sorry, I say D
The answer is C

It performs 5 tests here is the 5th:
***New MCA Test*** “I can’t view free/busy information of another user” – This test verifies that an Office 365 mailbox can access the free/busy information of an on-premises mailbox, and vice versa (one direction per test run).
As things stand, both C AND D are correct. The Connectivity analyzer tool can perform the free/busy test from a local computer, and the Remote Connectivity analyzer webpage can perform the same tests on the Office 365 tab.
Hopefully Microsoft amends the question soon.

D — correct
This is an *extremely* tricky one. In the MOC manual for this course, the MCA (NOT the remote one) literally starts the troubleshooter by asking you to select (a) Local can’t see cloud F/B or (b) Cloud can’t see local F/B.
However the Remote MCA can test access to F/B information as well. DM is correct, they are technically both correct. Hopefully the wording of the question in the exam is more precise?
Suspecting a hint in a reworded Q may be that MCA requires .NET 4 to be installed etc etc and you may not have admin rights on the machine you’re using, pushing towards Remote, or that perhaps your firewall is so locked down that you cannot access URLs ending in microsoft.com, forcing you to use the local one?
Not tricky… A and D do 50% of the job. To do the job completely you should use A AND D. So it can’t be!
Answer is C
Not A but B… Sorry.
I have the 70-346 book (Orin Thomas) and based on what it says C and D would be correct. At first I thought A, but if you read carefully “The Hybrid Configuration wizard” – the actual tool is “Hybrid Free/Busy Troubleshooter”
For C: (page 278 bullet 5) This test will perform a check to see if an Office 365 mailbox can access the free/busy information of an on-prem mailbox, or that an on-prem mailbox is able to access the free/busy information of an Office 365 mailbox.
For D: (page 275 bullet 5, sub-bullet 3) Checks that an Office 365 mailbox is able to access free/busy information of an on-prem mailbox. Also checks that an on-prem mailbox is able to access the free/busy information of an Office 365 mailbox.
Given that both would work I tend to agree with shashuma’s thinking that because D works offsite and C only works on prem the “better” answer is D, but this is a poor question in general.
