Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario Each question in the
series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets the stated goals.
Your network contains a single Active directory forest. The forest contains a domain controller and Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) servers that are deployed to virtual machines. The virtual machines run either on-premises or on Microsoft Azure.
You have Azure AD connect deployed on-premises. The Azure AD connect database is installed on an onpremises instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2014.
Last month, an Azure AD connect server experienced a hardware failure that caused an Azure AD connect server to go offline for several days.You need to recommend a solution to reduce the outage window when hardware failure occurs on the
Azure AD connect server.
Solution: you deploy a new on-premises Azure AD connect server that uses the Same SQL Server instance. You set the Azure AD connect server to staging mode.
Does this meet the goal?
A.
Yes
B.
No
Yes… The answer is correct mamanema.

I mean the answer is NO = B…
To reduce the outage window when hardware failure occurs we most deploy a new azure ad connect server to an azure virtual machine that uses a new sql server instance…
DUrisimo mamanema…
Does not meet the goal, because a staging server has his own SQL instance.
“A server in staging mode continues to receive changes from Active Directory and Azure AD. It always has a copy of the latest changes and can very fast take over the responsibilities of another server. If you make configuration changes to your primary server, it is your responsibility to make the same changes to the server in staging mode”
copy paste from the same link resource as given above (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-operations#staging-mode)
SO the answer is YES.
