HOTSPOT
Your company has a main office and a branch office. An Active Directory site exists for each
office.
The network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The contoso.com
domain contains three member servers named Server1, Server2, and Server3. All servers
run Windows Server 2012 R2.
In the main office, you configure Server1 as a file server that uses BranchCache.
In the branch office, you configure Server2 and Server3 as BranchCache hosted cache servers.
You are creating a Group Policy for the branch office site.
Which two Group Policy settings should you configure?
To answer, select the appropriate two settings in the answer area.
Answer: 
Explanation:
Distributed Cache mode
If client computers are configured to use Distributed Cache mode, the cached content is
distributed among client computers on the branch office network. No infrastructure or
services are required in the branch office beyond client computers running Windows 7.
Hosted Cache mode
In hosted cache mode, cached content is maintained on a computer running Windows
Server 2008 R2 on the branch office network.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee649153(v=ws.10).aspx

Shouldn’t this be Set BranchCache Hosted Cache mode instead of Configure Hosted Cache Servers?
turn on branchcache + set branchcache hosted cached mode?
turn on branchcache. 2 servers hosting branch cache requires “configure hosted cache servers” because it could be servers list. “set brachcache hosted cache mode” allows set up only 1 server, it is necessary for Windows 7 clients.
original answer is correct.
you’re right
The question should have mention the clients are either windows7 or windows 8. otherwise im not sure how to decide the configure options..
If it doesnt specifically state a version, rule of thumb is when it says Server 2012, then you think Win8. If Server 2008, then think Win7.
Wrong.
Server 2012 R2 -> Windows 8.1
Server 2012 -> Windows 8
Server 2008 R2 – Windows 7
Server 2008 -> Windows Vista

There are two possible options to enable Win8 clients to discover BranchCache Servers in the office they are located. See link posted by Wim above
“Enable Automatic Hosted Cache Discovery by Service Connection Point.”
“Configure Hosted Cache Servers”
Hopefully the wording of the question will be clearer to help make the right choice if a similar one appears in your exam
the answer should be: turn on branchcache + Configure Hosted Cache Servers.
The question should have mention the clients are either windows7 or windows 8.
Configure Hosted Cache Servers. This policy setting specifies whether client computers are configured to use hosted cache mode and provides the computer names of the hosted cache servers that are available to the client computers. Hosted cache mode enables client computers in branch offices to retrieve content from one or more hosted cache servers that are installed in the same office location. You can use this setting to automatically configure client computers that are configured for hosted cache mode with the computer names of the hosted cache servers in the branch office.
If you enable this policy setting and specify valid computer names of hosted cache servers, hosted cache mode is enabled for all client computers to which the policy setting is applied. For this policy setting to take effect, you must also enable the “Turn on BranchCache” policy setting.
This policy setting can only be applied to client computers that are running Windows 8. This policy has no effect on computers that are running Windows 7 or Windows Vista.
Set BranchCache Hosted Cache mode. This policy setting specifies whether BranchCache hosted cache mode is enabled on client computers to which this policy is applied. In addition to this policy, you must use the policy “Turn on BranchCache” to enable BranchCache on client computers. When a client computer is configured as a hosted cache mode client, it is able to download cached content from a hosted cache server that is located at the branch office.

Agree with this answer.
Turn on branchcache – required no matter what configuration you want to use.
configure hosted cache servers – allows you to select more than one cache server. set branchcache hosted cache mode only allows you to select one server.
configure hosted cache servers only works with windows 8 machines, as it does not mention windows we can assume that there are none.
Rule of thumb for this one:
If it does not mention client version always assume they are all Windows 8 and above; and answer will be the one provided which is correct.
If it mentiones Windows 7 clients, then options will be “Turn on BranchCache Mode” and “Set BranchCache Hosted Cache mode”, this will limit us to only use one Cache server in the remote location
yes it has to mention the client OS.
win7 clients: enable “set branchcache hosted cache mode”
Win8 clients: enable “configure hosted cache servers”
assume win 8 clients so answer is correct
No need to have *two* hosted cache servers if the clients are windows 7 and can use only one.
We have to assume branch office has Win8 clients.
Provided answer is correct.
no dipshit. where is hassan ?
Hassan is now MCSA 🙁
Ugh, may “Allah” help him, wherever he is working.
