The forest contains a single domain.
The domain contains the domain controllers is configured as shown in the following table.
Name Site
DC1 Site1

You discover that replication between Dc1 and DC3 takes a few hours.
You need to reduce the amount of time it takes to replicate Active Directory changes between
DC1 and DC3.
What should you do?
A.
Create a site link that connects Site1 and Site3, has a cost of 350, and replicates every 15
minutes.
B.
Modify SiteLink4 to replicate every 15 minute.
C.
Disable Site Link bridging.
D.
Set the cost of SiteLink4 to 100.
Either the answer is wrong, or the information on the question is wrong.
SiteLink1, SiteLink2 and SiteLink4 are linking the same sites. And Site1 is not on any Site Link. So the answer is either A or the information on the question is wrong.
You are right Stalin, the info about site links is liquid crap.
I agree. A is the only option that makes any sense. Though, the reason replication could be taking so long is because there’s no valid site link defined.
answer is A
Question on exam is different. It was a Hotspot and it asked about replication time between sites. How long for replication between DC1 and DC5. I can’t remember the rest but it was like that
