Your company has a main office and a branch office.
You plan to implement a failover cluster named Cluster1 to host an application named App1.
The data of App1 will replicate to all of the nodes in Cluster1.
Cluster1 will contain two servers. The servers will be configured as shown in the following table.
The cluster nodes will not use shared storage.
The branch office contains two file servers named Server3 and Server4.
You need to ensure that App1 fails over automatically to another server if a single node in
Cluster1 fails.
What should you do?
More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.
A.
Add Server3 as a node in Cluster1.
B.
Add Served, Server2, and Server3 to a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster.
C.
Add Server3 and Server4 to a new failover cluster named Cluster2. Install App1 on
Cluster2.
D.
Add Server3 as a file share witness for Cluster1.
yet another funny answer.
correct answer should be D. FSW is recommended for even node cluster with not shared storage. If one node fails the cluster will still has quorum. This solution doesn’t require a new failover or NLB cluster, doesn’t require new instances of App1.

Cluster1 only replicates data to Server1 and Server2. Server3 and Server4 will have no data of App1, thus adding either one of them to NLB is possible, but impractical. D.
Confirmed D
Why is everything wrong on this version, sheesh….
