Case Study: 2
Proseware, Inc
Overview
General Overview
Proseware, Inc. is a pharmaceutical services company that has a sales department, a
marketing department, an operations department, and a human resources department.
Physical Locations
Proseware has two main offices. One of the offices is located in New York. The other office
is located in Chicago. The New York office uses a 172.16.1.0/24 network ID. The Chicago
office uses a 192.168.1.0/24 network ID.
The offices connect to each other by using a high-bandwidth, low-latency WAN link. Each
office connects directly to the Internet.
Existing Environment
The network contains an Active Directory forest named proseware.com. The forest contains
two domains named proseware.com and chicago.proseware.com. All of the user accounts and
the computer accounts in the New York office reside in the proseware.com domain. All of the
user accounts and the computer accounts in the Chicago office reside in the
chicago.proseware.com domain. All DNS zones are Active-Directory-integrated.
Each office is configured as an Active Directory site. The network ID for each office is
associated to the appropriate site.
Each office contains two domain controllers. The domain controllers were recently upgraded
from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2. The functional level of the
domain and the forest is Windows Server 2003.
The company uses Active Directory user attributes to store the personal information of its
employees in custom attributes.
Existing Servers
The relevant servers are configured as shown in the following table.
All servers run Windows Server 2012 R2.
DC01 has an IPv4 scope. The starting IP address in the range is 172.16.1.100 and the ending
address is 172.16.1.199.
DC03 has an IP4v scope. The starting IP address in the range is 192.168.1.100 and the ending
IP address is 192.168.1.199. There are no exclusion ranges configured on DC01 or DC03.
Requirements
Planned Changes
Proseware plans to implement the following changes:
• Deploy a read-only domain controller (RODC) to the London office.
• Give users remote access to both offices by using a VPN connection from their laptop
or tablet.
• If DC01 fails, ensure that the computers in the New York office can receive IP
addresses within 30 minutes.
• In the New York site, deploy two 50-TB, Fibre Channel SAN disk arrays. Offloaded
Data Transfer (ODX) will be used on both storage arrays. The Hyper-V hosts will use the
new SANs for virtual machine storage.
• Open three additional offices in Montreal, Atlanta, and London. The offices will
connect to each other by using a high-bandwidth, low-latency WAN link. Each office will
connect directly to the Internet.
• For legal reasons, the Montreal site will have its own forest named
montreal.proseware.com.
• The Montreal and Atlanta offices will have local IT administrators to manage the
network infrastructure of their respective office. The London office will not have a local IT
staff. Each office will have approximately 50 client computers.
Technical Requirements
Proseware identifies the following technical requirements:
• Users in the Montreal office must only be allowed to access shares that are located on
File01 and File02. The Montreal users must be prevented from accessing any other servers in
the proseware.com forest regardless of the permissions on the resources,
• Users in the New York office must be able to reconnect to the remote access VPN
servers automatically. Users in the Chicago office must use SSL to connect to the remote
access VPN servers.
• Domain controllers that run Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2
must be able to be deployed to the proseware.com domain.
• Administrators in the New York office must be able to restore objects from the Active
Directory Recycle Bin.
• The DNS servers must be prevented from overwriting the existing DNS entries that
have been stored in cache.
• Each DNS server must be managed by an administrator from the same office as the
DNS server.
• The required time to create new fixed virtual hard disks (VHDs) on the SANs must be
minimized.
• The remote access servers must be able to restrict outgoing traffic based on IP
addresses.
• All certificates must be deployed to all of the client computers by using autoenrollment.
• All of the DHCP Server server roles must be installed on a domain controller.
• Only one DHCP server in each site must lease IP addresses at any given time.
• DHCP traffic must not cross site boundaries.
• RODCs must not contain personal user information.

You need to recommend a storage configuration for the Hyper-V hosts.
What should you recommend? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
Answer: 
Explanation:
The key for me is :
“The required time to create new fixed virtual hard disks (VHDs) on the SANs must be
minimized.”
and
“In the New York site, deploy two 50-TB, Fibre Channel SAN disk arrays. Offloaded
Data Transfer (ODX) will be used on both storage arrays. The Hyper-V hosts will use the
new SANs for virtual machine storage.”

To use ODX, your environment must support the following:
– The computer initiating the data transfer must be running Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8.
– Files must be on an unencrypted basic partition. Storage Spaces and dynamic volumes are not supported.
– Files must be on a volume that is formatted by using NTFS. ReFS and FAT are not supported. – Files can be directly transferred to or from this volume, or from one of the following containers: A virtual hard disk (VHD) that uses the .vhd or .vhdx format
