Case Study: 3
Baldwin Museum of Science
Background
Baldwin Museum of Science has an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain
named BaldwinMuseumOfScience.com.
The domain has a SharePoint environment that contains two farms named ContentFarm and
SearchFarm.
ContentFarm includes content and collaboration tools. A custom app named Time Entry is
deployed to the App Store on ContentFarm. ContentFarm includes a site collection named
HR.
You are planning for a major content and configuration update to the term store in the
managed metadata service application that is located on ContentFarm.
SearchFarm is reserved for crawling content and responding to search queries.
ContentFarm Topology
The topology of ContentFarm is shown in the following table.
ContentFarm has the following characteristics:
• Primary content for the farm is available at the URL
SharePoint.BaldwinMuseumOfScience.com.
• Requests for content from the farm are load-balanced between
SPC-WEB01 and SPC-WEB02.
• The servers that run Microsoft SQL Server are members of an
active/passive cluster that run a failover cluster named SP-SQL01.
• MySites sites for each user are hosted on a separate web
application available at the URL my.baldwinmuseumofscience.com.
• Requests for MySites pages are load-balanced between SPCWEB01 and SPC-WEB02.
• A full backup of the farm is performed once a week.
• An incremental backup of the farm is performed once a day.
• The Site Owner of the HR site collection requires that the HR
Site Collection be backed up in full on a daily basis.
• The managed metadata, user profile, and BCS service
applications are enabled in the farm.
• All members of the SharePoint developer team belong to an
AD DS security group named SharePoint_App_Dev.
SearchFarm Topology
The topology of SearchFarm is shown in the following table.
SearchFarm has the following characteristics:
• The farm currently uses SPS-DB01 as its primary database
instance.
• SPS-DB01 has experienced multiple hard drive failures in the
last month.
• The identity of the search service application is not
documented.
Technical Requirements
The following requirements must be met for ContentFarm and SearchFarm:
• All administrative activities must be performed by using
Windows PowerShell.
• Custom applications created by using the SharePoint app model
must be deployed to, and hosted in, an internal App Store.
• Site owners must not be able to directly purchase third-party
apps from the public SharePoint Store.
• Members of the SharePoint_App AD DS security group must
have the ability to submit new apps and app updates to the App Store
of ContentFarm.
• Members of the SharePoint_App_Dev AD DS security group
must not be granted farm administrator rights in ContentFarm.
• The Time Entry app must remain available to users at all times.
• The contents of ContentFarm must be indexed by the Search
service application of SearchFarm.
• All responses to queries submitted by users in ContentFarm
must be served by the Search service application of SearchFarm.
• The database resources for SearchFarm must be configured to
be highly available by using SQL Server database mirroring with
automatic failover.
• MySite content databases must be moved to a separate
clustered database instance. The new clustered database instance must
be created by using existing database servers in ContentFarm.
• All storage resources for both farms must be redundant and
provide high performance for both read and write operations and
support disk mirroring.
• A snapshot of the current state of the managed metadata service
application must be taken before the service application receives the
planned major update.

DRAG DROP
You need to reconfigure the ContentFarm database topology.
What should you do? (To answer, drag the appropriate options to the correct location or locations in
the answer area. Each option may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag
the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.)
Answer: 
Explanation:
Note:
* From Scenario:
/ MySite content databases must be moved to a separate clustered database instance. The new
clustered database instance must be created by using existing database servers in ContentFarm.
/ All storage resources for both farms must be redundant and provide high performance for both
read and write operations and support disk mirroring.
* Box 1:
Use both SQL Server 2012 servers (SPC-DB01 and SPC-DB02)
* Box 2:
/ From Scenario: SPS-DB01 has experienced multiple hard drive failures in the last month.
So we use SPC-DB02 as the active node.
* Box 3, Box 4, Box 5: We move the content databases to the new SQL Server instance
* Box 6: Reattach to the web application.
