Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The physical
topology of the network is configured as shown in the exhibit.
Each office contains 500 employees.
You plan to deploy several domain controllers to each office.
You need to recommend a site topology for the planned deployment.
What should you include in the recommendation?
More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.
Exhibit
A.
Five sites and one site link
B.
Three sites and three site links
C.
One site
D.
Five sites and three site links
Explanation:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc960573.aspx
Create a site for each LAN, or set of LANs, that are connected by a high speed backbone,
and assign the site a name. Connectivity within the site must be reliable and always
available.
This would mean 5 sites Site links are transitive, so if site A is connected to site B, and site B
is connected to site C, then the KCC assumes that domain controllers in site A can
communicate with domain controllers in site C. You only need to create a site link between
site A and site C if there is in fact a distinct network connection between those two sites.
This would mean 3 sitelinks
So answer is “Five sites and three site links”
The suggested answer recommends one site for each ‘type’ of wan-connection (5mbits, 1mbits and 512kbits). Your site topology should represent your physical environment. In a real world environment I would configure one link for each physically existing link to be prepared for any customization that may come up in the future. It would give more granular control.
the answer also recognizes the mesh linkage between Wash Atlanta Boston
so these three share one site link
the other 2 links Atlanta to NY and Atlanta to Sydney do not connect to the Boston or Washington sites .
the objective here is to emulate the real world physical topology in ADSS
so three site links not 5
Washington cannot replicate directly with New York . these cannot share a site link and same goes for Wash to Sydney
