Which three actions should you perform?

Your company has a main office and a branch office. The main office is located in Seattle.
The branch office is located in Montreal. Each office is configured as an Active Directory site.
The network contains an Active Directory domain named adatum.com. The Seattle office
contains a file server named Server1. The Montreal office contains a file server named
Server2.
The servers run Windows Server 2012 R2 and have the File and Storage Services server
role, the DFS Namespaces role service, and the DFS Replication role service installed.
Server1 and Server2 each have a share named Share1 that is replicated by using DFS
Replication.
You need to ensure that users connect to the replicated folder in their respective office when
they connect to \\contoso.com\Share1.
Which three actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Choose three.)

A.
Create a replication connection.

B.
Create a namespace.

C.
Share and publish the replicated folder.

D.
Create a new topology.

E.
Modify the Referrals settings.

Explanation:
To share a replicated folder and publish it to a DFS namespace Click Start, point to
Administrative Tools, and then click DFS Management. In the console tree, under the
Replication node, click the replication group that contains the replicated folder you want to
share. In the details pane, on the Replicated Folders tab, right-click the replicated folder that
you want to share, and then click Share and Publish in Namespace. In the Share and
Publish Replicated Folder Wizard, click Share and publish the replicated folder in a
namespace, and then follow the steps in the wizard.
Note that: If you do not have an existing namespace, you can create one in the Namespace
Path page in the Share and Publish Replicated Folder Wizard. To create the namespace, in
the Namespace Path page, click Browse, and then click New Namespace.
To create a namespace
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DFS Management.
In the console tree, right-click the Namespaces node, and then click New Namespace.
Follow the instructions in the New Namespace Wizard.
To create a stand-alone namespace on a failover cluster, specify the name of a clustered file
server instance on the Namespace Server page of the New Namespace Wizard.
Important
Do not attempt to create a domain-based namespace using the Windows Server 2008 mode
unless the forest functional level is Windows Server 2003 or higher. Doing so can result in a
namespace for which you cannot delete DFS folders, yielding the following error message:
“The folder cannot be deleted. Cannot complete this function. ”
To share a replicated folder and publish it to a DFS namespace

1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DFS Management.
2. In the console tree, under the Replication node, click the replication group that contains
the replicated folder you want to share.
3. In the details pane, on the Replicated Folders tab, right-click the replicated folder that you
want to share, and then click Share and Publish in Namespace.
4. In the Share and Publish Replicated Folder Wizard, click Share and publish the replicated
folder in a namespace, and then follow the steps in the wizard.

I think it should had been A, C & E
else where do u create the replication?
can somebody verify

Question states that share folder is replicated by DFS replication, so you don’t need to create it again.

Shaun

Shaun

It should be B, C, D.

B and C are given.
D – you create a mesh topology. Since there is only 1 server in each site, this works perfectly. You would not need to modify referral settings, since there is only going to be 1 in each site there is nothing to modify to.

Why should I need to create a new topology ?? Mesh topology is created by default.

B. You cannot assume the namespace has already been created. Replication can occur without a namespace, but the question states you need to access via the namespace \\contoso\Share1.

C.The replicated folder has not yet been published to the namespace. The folder needs to be published to the namespace to be available in the dfs namespace \\contoso\Share1.

E. Referrals settings need to be modified so that the local site target is the preferred target.

@adam: Thanks, that was confusing. I was sure E was one of the answers, but I didn’t understand why the hell they wanted us to create and publish a share that already existed.

I guess the big clue is this right here: “You need to ensure that users connect to the replicated folder in their respective office when they connect to \\contoso.com\Share1.”

They may already have a local share at seattle.contoso.com\server folders\Share1 that is replicated by DFS, like you say, but that doesn’t have the DFS namespace.

I agree with Adam
B C E

Confusing, Id say :

logically it is ACE, you do not need to create a namespace.
the case tell us that there already is a share yhat is replicating.
thus no need to create a new namespacet

wrong, folders can be replicated without the need for a namespace.
A is reduntant, since the replication is already in effect. The case doesn’t say there is a namespace so we should assume there isn’t. It’s BCE.
