The default UPN suffix for a forest is the forest root domain. Because the
forest root domain is Adatum.local, this will be the default UPN suffix.

It’s D:

The default UPN suffix for a user account is the DNS name of the Active Directory domain where the user account is located.

Hi! I think it’s D.
Two Users in Two Different Domains in the Same Forest
Joe S. User is a user in the domain named mydomain.com. The down-level name of mydomain.com is mydomain.
First name: Joe
Middle initial: S
Last name: User
The logon name portion of the user logon name is joeuser.
The UPN for this user is [email protected].
The user’s down-level logon name is MYDOMAIN\joeuser.

There is another user named Joe S. User. However, he is a user in the domain named childdomain.mydomain.com. Childdomain.mydomain.com is a child domain of mydomain.com, and both domains are in the same forest.

First name: Joe
Initial: S
Last name: User
The logon name portion of the user logon name is joeuser.
The UPN for this user is [email protected].
The user’s down-level logon name is CHILDDOMAIN\joeuser.
There is no conflict between the two user logon names because each user is a member of a separate domain

“No additional UPN suffixes have been configured”
Even though the computer account is in adatum.local, the user account properties for the user will only have @australia.contoso.com available for UPNs, since that’s the domain where the user account exists.
Therefore, I believe the answer must be D. @australia.contoso.com

Hi all,
i thinks that answer is D:
“User Principal Name
In Active Directory, each user account has a user principal name (UPN) in the format user@DNS-domain-name.”

And

“The three parts of a UPN are the UPN prefix (user logon name), the @ character, and the UPN suffix (usually a domain name). The default UPN suffix for a user account is the DNS name of the Active Directory domain where the user account is located.”
