An organization purchases an Office 365 plan for 10,000 user accounts. You have a domain controller that runs Windows Server 2008 R2. The forest functional
level is set to Windows Server 2000.
The organization must be able to synchronize user attributes from the on-premises Active Directory Domain Services environment to Office 365.
You need to prepare to install the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
A.
Upgrade the domain controller to Windows Server 2012.
B.
Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.
C.
Install Windows Server 2012 Standard edition.
D.
Raise the forest functional level to Windows Server 2008 R2.
E.
Join a workstation to an Active Directory domain.
Explanation:
This is a tricky question because the forest functional level does need to be upgraded to perform a directory synchronization which would make answer D correct.
However, this question is asking about installing the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool (Dirsync). The requirements for the machine running Dirsync are a
member server running Windows Server 2008 or 2012 and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.

Try not to confuse Windows Azure Active Directory Sync (DirSync) with Azure AD Connect.
DirSync is supported on Windows 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, and 2012 R2 and you can install DirSync on a domain controller so A and C is not the right answer.
.Net 3.5 sp1 and at the time DirSync was first released .Net 4.0 was required so B is the right answer. (.Net 4.5.1 is now required)
DirSync won’t work unless you have at least a Windows 2003 forest functional level. Since 2003 is not an option you must choose D.
You do not need to join a computer to the domain to install Dirsync so E is not the right answer.
The answer is B and D.

B and D
ExchGuy is right.
B and D. DirSync needs a minimum of Server 2003 forest functional level (pg 146, Objective 4.2: Set up DirSync, MS Exam Ref 70-346) and both dotNet versions.
