Your company has three offices. The offices are located in Montreal, Toronto, and
Vancouver.
The network contains two Active Directory forests named contoso.com and adatum.com.
The contoso.com forest contains one domain. The adatum.com forest contains two domains.
All of the servers in adatum.com are located in the Toronto office. The servers in
contoso.com are located in the Montreal and Vancouver offices. All of the servers in both of
the forests run Windows Server 2012 R2.
A two-way, forest trusts exists between the forests.
Each office contains DHCP servers and DNS servers.
You are designing an IP Address Management (IPAM) solution to manage the network.
You need to recommend a solution for the placement of IPAM servers to manage all of the
DHCP servers and all of the DNS servers in both of the forests. The solution must minimize
the number of IPAM servers deployed.
What should you recommend?
A.
One IPAM server in each office
B.
One IPAM server in the Montreal office and one IPAM server in the Toronto office
C.
One IPAM server in the Toronto office
D.
Two IPAM servers in the Toronto office and one IPAM server in the Montreal office
E.
Two IPAM servers in the Toronto office, one IPAM server in the Montreal office, and one
IPAM server in the Vancouver office
Correct answer: B
* There are three general methods to deploy IPAM servers:
1. Distributed: An IPAM server deployed at every site in an enterprise.
2. Centralized: One IPAM server in an enterprise.
3. Hybrid: A central IPAM server deployed with dedicated IPAM servers at each site.
Basically, IPAM does not work across two forests. IPAM can work in one Forest, and will work for all domains in that forest, trusted or untrusted.
The reason you need two IPAM servers is because there are two Forests here, so one IPAM will perform IPAM workload for each forest.
The reason we don’t need one IPAM server in each office is because the IPAM server, wherever it is located in the FOREST, will work for remote sites/domains etc too. (and the requirement is to minimize the number of IPAM servers delpoyed.)
