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: B One IPAM Server per forest:
Scope of discovery: Determine the domains that will be managed by each IPAM server. You must deploy more than one IPAM server to manage a multi-forest environment.

As a general guideline: ipam can not be installed on a domain controller.
An IPAM server provides support for a single Active Directory forest. Multi-forest topologies are not supported. Multiple IPAM servers can support a single domain, or a single IPAM server can support all domains in an Active Directory forest.
