Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two
member servers named Server1 and Server2. All servers run Windows Server 2012 R2.
Server1 and Server2 have the Failover Clustering feature installed. The servers are configured as
nodes in a failover cluster named Cluster1.
You add two additional nodes in Cluster1.
You have a folder named Folder1 on Server1 that hosts Application data. Folder1 is a folder target in
a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace.
You need to provide highly available access to Folder1. The solution must support DFS Replication to
Folder1.

The Scale-Out File Server
Explanation:
File Server for general useNote: You can deploy and configure a clustered file server by using either of the following methods:
* File Server for general use.
This is the continuation of the clustered file server that has been supported in Windows Server since
the introduction of Failover Clustering. This type of clustered file server, and therefore all the shares
associated with the clustered file server, is online on one node at a time. This is sometimes referred
to as active-passive or dual-active. File shares associated with this type of clustered file server are
called clustered file shares. This is the recommended file server type when deploying information
worker scenarios.
* Scale-Out File Server for application data
This clustered file server feature was introduced in Windows Server 2012, and it lets you store server
application data, such as Hyper-V virtual machine files, on file shares, and obtain a similar level of
reliability, availability, manageability, and high performance that you would expect from a storage
area network. All file shares are simultaneously online on all nodes. File shares associated with this
type of clustered file server are called scale-out file shares. This is sometimes referred to as activeactive. This is the recommended file server type when deploying either Hyper-V over Server
Message Block (SMB) or Microsoft SQL Server over SMB.Scale-Out File Server for Application Data Overview
This is a bit of a tricky one. It says Application Data, which implies Scale Out File Server, but it is a DFS target. That is why a general use file server should be the correct answer.
File server for general use: Supports SMB, NFS, Data Deduplication, FSRM, DFS Replication..
Scale-Out File Server: Supports only SMB.
