Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The forest contains a child domain
named corp.contoso.com.
The network has Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 deployed.
You need to create a mail-enabled distribution group. Which type of group should you create?
A.
Domain local
B.
Global
C.
Local
D.
Universal
Which type? of group should you create or scope ?…
Yea, I agree with you. Microsoft exam questions are always vague and badly written. You just have to take a punt; I chose B. B or D will work, it’s such a crap question!
global group is a group that can be used in its own domain, in member servers and in workstations of the domain, and in trusted domains. We don’t have any indication that corp.contoso.com is a trusted domain. We probably want users in the child domain to use the e-mail service.
Universal group seems the only choice to me.
Huh? corp.contoso.com IS the child domain and therefore trusted.
You use a Universal group, but only add Global groups from each of the domains to it, the global groups have the users from each domain in them.
Why? Because Universal groups are replicated and changes to them are replicated, if you only use groups in there, then they don’t change much, only the global group membership changes.

Universal groups are used to grant permissions on a wide scale throughout a domain tree or forest. Members
of global groups include accounts and groups from any domain in the domain tree or forest. Only universal
groups should be used as mail-enabled groups.
I would have to go with D also, universal group. The question states that there is a parent domain and a child domain, which would imply the use of a universal group.
Yeah,Paul…I agree with you.
Global = all trusted domains in a forest
Universal = all domains in all forests
Child domain = trusted domain to parent domain
I would say the answer should be A. Global as it grants the least amount while fulfilling the duty.
However, with Microsoft and the testings.. I would just say Universal as that is guaranteed to cover the role. Plus, the question doesn’t state to use the minimal method.
Global groups can only contain users from the same domain, so it must be Universal group the correct answer.
You wrote about local groups – your explanation is not good.
Global groups are for one forest domain
Universal groups are for few forest domain
Question says about one forest
Answer for me – B
This url says that exchange requires universal groups
https://exchangequery.com/2013/06/12/explanation-on-global-and-universal-distribution-listgroup/
and some microsoft pages also only talked about universal groups.
