Which two actions should you perform?

Your company has a main office and two branch offices. The main office is located in Seattle. The two branch
offices are located in Montreal and Miami. Each office is configured as an Active Directory site.
The network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. Network traffic is not routed between
the Montreal office and the Miami office.
You implement a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace named \\contoso.com\public. The namespace
contains a folder named Folder1. Folder1 has a folder target in each office.
You need to configure DFS to ensure that users in the branch offices only receive referrals to the target in their
respective office or to the target in the main office.

A.
Set the Ordering method of \\contoso.com\public to Random order.

B.
Set the Advanced properties of the folder target in the Seattle office to Last among all targets.

C.
Set the Advanced properties of the folder target in the Seattle office to First among targets of equal cost.

D.
Set the Ordering method of \\contoso.com\public to Exclude targets outside of the client’s site.

E.
Set the Advanced properties of the folder target in the Seattle office to Last among targets of equal cost.

F.
Set the Ordering method of \\contoso.com\public to Lowest cost.

Explanation:

Exclude targets outside of the client’s site
In this method, the referral contains only the targets that are in the same site as the client. These same-site
targets are listed in random order. If no same-site targets exist, the client does not receive a referral and
cannot access that portion of the namespace.
Note: Targets that have target priority set to “First among all targets” or “Last among all targets” are still listed
in the referral, even if the ordering method is set to Exclude targets outside of the client’s site .
Note 2: Set the Ordering Method for Targets in Referrals
A referral is an ordered list of targets that a client computer receives from a domain controller or namespace
server when the user accesses a namespace root or folder with targets. After the client receives the referral,
the client attempts to access the first target in the list. If the target is not available, the client attempts to
access the next target.

If each office configured as AD site, y cant exclude target outside the site.
The most logical is the client reffered first to the folder in his site than to folder in the main office.

E,F is th answer

B and D:

INSITE + DFS Override Referral Ordering

As I mentioned earlier, INSITE (or Exclude targets outside of the client’s site) will cause the DFS referral process to offer only:

DFS Target A

If we combine this with DFS Override Referral Ordering set to Last Among all Targets on DFS Target Hub, the DFS referral process will offer:

DFS Target A
DFS Target Hub

In other words, our local target first and the hub target second with no other out of site referrals. This would be desirable in environments where the network is not fully routable with client connectivity limited to the local site and the hub site.
