A company named Contoso, Ltd. has a SharePoint farm. The farm has one Search service application
configured. The Search service application contains five crawl databases, all of which contain content.
Contoso plans to crawl knowledge base content from its partner company Litware, Inc. The knowledge
base content must be stored in a dedicated crawl database.
You need to configure crawling.
What should you do?
A.
Add a crawl database that contains the Litware knowledge base to the existing Search service
application.
B.
Provision a new Search service application. Configure the service application to crawl the Litware
knowledge base content.
C.
Set the MaxCrawlDatabase parameter to 6.
D.
Create a dedicated Microsoft SQL Server instance for the Litware crawl database.
Explanation:
The maximum number of crawl databases is 5 per Search service application so we need
another Search service application.
This maximum limit is increased to 15 with an Office 2013 update but the question doesn’t mention that
this update is installed so we have to assume the question was written before the update was released.
