Hotspot Question
Your network contains one Active Directory forest named contoso.com.
The forest contains the domain controllers configured as shown in the following table.
You perform the following actions:
– Create a file named File1.txt in the SYSVOL folder on DC1.
– Create a user named User1 on DC4.
You need to identify on which domain controller or controllers a copy of each object is stored.
What should you identify? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
Answer: 
Not sure I agree with this answer. Why would the user on DC4 not also be present on DC5 and 6? There are members of the same domain, surely users must replicate to all DCs regardless of them not being Global Catalog servers??
Am i missing something obvious?
I agree with Darren.
Agreed also.
Agreed. I tested this, and the users replicated to the DC’s (Not GC’s) in different Sites.
So User1 is stored in DC4, DC5 and DC6.
Darren is correct.
All objects in a DOMAIN are stored on all domain controllers in that DOMAIN. A partial copy of all objects in a FOREST are stored on all Global Catalogs.
1- DC3 only because SYSVOL replicates on a domain level. (And DC1 and DC2)
2- DC4, DC5, DC6. (And DC1 and DC2)
Bonus- they should probably make DC4 a GC so that site has a local copy.
finally answer is file.txt is DC3 , User1 is DC4,DC5,DC6
– users replicate to all DC in a domain.
– SYSVOL replicate on a domain level.
File1.txt Replicates to DCs in the same domain (FRS or DFSR). Then, the answer is DC3 (DC1 and DC2 too).
User1 is created in DC4 and stored in its Domain database, and it’s replicated to DC5 and DC6. Is this a copy or is the Object? I hate this kind of questions!

And remember, by the way, that DC do not hold copies of objects from whole forest. They hold and replicate ONLY some properties from the objects that are not from their domain.
Replace GC with DC, my mistake, sorry.
