You work as a senior administrator at ABC.com. The ABC.com network consists of a single
domain named ABC.com. All servers on the ABC.com network have Windows Server 2012
installed, and all workstations have Windows 8 installed.
You are running a training exercise for junior administrators. You are currently discussing the
Always Offline Mode.
Which of the following is TRUE with regards to the Always Offline Mode? (Choose all that apply.)
A.
It allows for swifter access to cached files and redirected folders.
B.
To enable Always Offline Mode, you have to satisfy the forest and domain functional-level
requirements, as well as schema requirements.
C.
It allows for lower bandwidth usage due to users are always working offline.
D.
To enable Always Offline Mode, you must have workstations running Windows 7 or Windows
Server 2008 R2.
Prerequisites
To enable the Always Offline mode, your environment must meet the following prerequisites.
An Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain, with client computers joined to the domain. There are no forest or domain functional-level requirements or schema requirements.
Client computers running Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 R2, or Windows Server 2012. (Client computers running earlier versions of Windows might continue to transition to Online mode on very high-speed network connections.)
A computer with Group Policy Management installed.
Enabling the Always Offline mode
To enable the Always Offline mode, use Group Policy to enable the Configure slow-link mode policy setting and set the latency to 1 (millisecond). Doing so causes client computers running Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 to automatically use the Always Offline mode.
Computers running Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2008 might continue to transition to the Online mode if the latency of the network connection drops below one millisecond.
Enable the Always Offline Mode to Provide Faster Access to Files
Use the Always Offline mode of Offline Files to provide faster access to cached files and redirected folders. Always Offline also provides lower bandwidth usage because users are always working offline, even when they are connected through a high-speed network connection.
