Case Study 5: Contoso Ltd Case B
Contoso, Ltd., is a software development company. The company has a main office in Seattle and branch offices that are located in Los Angeles and New Delhi.
Contoso’s sales staff are all located in the Los Angeles office. Contoso’s software developers are all located in the New Delhi office.
Current Environment
The network for the Seattle office contains:
– 2 domain controllers with integrated DNS
– 200 Windows workstations
– 14-node Hyper-V cluster
– 1 file server with multiple shares
– 1 Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) cluster
The network for the Los Angeles office contains:
– 2 domain controllers with integrated DNS
– 100 Windows workstations
– 1 file server with multiple shares
The network for the New Delhi office contains:
– 2 domain controllers with integrated DNS
– 300 Windows workstations
– 10 Hyper-V servers that host 100 development virtual machines (VMs)
– 50 production virtual machines that are hosted in Azure
All the Contoso offices connect to each other by using VPN links, and each office is connected to the Internet.
Contoso has a single Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named contoso.com. Contoso.com has a configured certification authority (CA). Contoso
currently leverages System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2 to manage its virtual environment servers.
Contoso uses an application named HRApp1 for its human resources (HR) department. HR users report that the application stops responding and must be
restarted before they can continue their work.
Fabrikam Inc
Contoso has recently acquired Fabrikam. Inc. Fabrikam has a single office that is located in Seattle.
Fabrikam has a single AD DS domain named fabrikam.com.
The network for Fabrikam contains:
– 2 domain controllers with Active Directory-integrated DNS
– 150 Windows workstations
– 5 Hyper-V servers
– 1 file server with multiple shares
A two-way trust exists between Contoso.com and Fabrikam.com.
Business Requirements
Consolidation
Contoso must complete the consolidation of the Contoso and Fabrikam networks.
The consolidation of the two networks must:
– Minimize all hardware and software costs.
– Minimize WAN traffic.
– Enable the users by providing self-service whenever possible.
Security
Contoso requires that all Windows client devices must be encrypted with BitLocker by using the Trusted Platform
The CA for the domain contoso.com must be designated as the resource forest. The domain fabrikam.com must leverage certificates that are issued by the
domain contoso.com.
Other Information
HRApp1
Each time HRApp1 stops responding and is restarted, an incident must be created and associated with the existing problem ticket.
Development environment
You have the following requirements:
– Developers must be able to manage their own VM checkpoints.
– You must implement a disaster recovery strategy for development virtual machines.
Technical Requirements
Windows System Updates
You have the following system update requirements:
– Consolidate reporting of all software updates in all offices.
– Software updates must be applied to all Windows devices.
– Ensure the ability to report on update compliance.
Monitoring
You have the following monitoring requirements:
– Each time HRApp1 shows performance problems, ensure that a ticket is created.
– When performance problems are resolved, ensure that the ticket closes automatically.
Security
You have the following security requirements:
– Ensure that all documents are protected.
– Ensure that contoso.com domain users get use licenses for RMS-protected documents from the domain contoso.com.
– Ensure that fabrikam.com domain users get use licenses for RMS-protected documents from the domain contoso.com.

This question consists of two statements: One is named Assertion and the other is named Reason. Both of these statements may be true; both may be false; or one
may be true, while the other may be false.
To answer this question, you must first evaluate whether each statement is true on its own. If both statements are true, then you must evaluate whether the Reason
(the second statement) correctly explains the Assertion (the first statement). You will then select the answer from the list of answer choices that matches your
evaluation of the two statements.
Assertion:
You must implement Azure site recovery between the New Delhi and Seattle offices to meet the backup requirements.
Reason:
Azure site recovery allows replication and failover of virtual machines on host servers that are located in the Virtual Machine Manager cloud.
Evaluate the Assertion and Reason statements and choose the correct answer option.
A.
Both the Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason is the correct explanation for the Assertion.
B.
Both the Assertion and Reason are true, but the Reason is not the correct explanation for the Assertion.
C.
The Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.
D.
The Assertion is false, but the Reason is true.
E.
Both the Assertion and the Reason are false.
Explanation:
Certbase notes:In the section Development Environment states that
You need to create a plan for disaster recovery of used for software development virtual machines.
The data used for software development virtual machines (VMs) hosted on 10 Hyper-V servers in the site New Delhi. The Stuttgart has a Hyper-V cluster with 14
nodes. Replicating the virtual machines from New Delhi to Stuttgart would be a possible way to ensure disaster recovery.
The assertion is true. The statement of reasons is also correct and also constitutes an acceptable justification of the claim.
Microsoft Azure Site Recovery organizes and manages the replication of your primary data center to a secondary location, so your data is backed up in the event
of planned or unplanned outages and are restorable. Internal private clouds that reside on System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM), you can back up other
internal sites or from the Microsoft Azure Storage. To make replication, VMM uses the Hyper-V Replica, a replication mechanism that is built into Hyper-V in
Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
It provides asynchronous replication of Hyper-V virtual computers between two host servers. Every server workload that can be virtualized in Hyper-V can be
replicated. The replication works over any ordinary IP-based network. The Hyper-V Replica can be used with stand-alone servers, failover clusters or a combination
of both.
In my understanding “Azure Site Recovery” replicates to Azure. So you cannot set it up between your own sites. You could just use normal replication for that.
So the answer.. I think The Assertion is false
This is a tough one. I’ve read up a bit on it since your comment and I’m still unsure.
Anybody?
Ok so you can also do site to site..

Answer is correct
Yes, Azure Site Recovery can replicate VM on a VMM at site A to either another VMM at site B or a Recovery Services vault on Azure subscription.
Where are your machines located? (on Azure Portal)
Option 1: Azure – PREVIEW
Option 2: On-premises (i.e., private cloud on SC VMM at site A)
Where do you want to replicate your machines to? (on Azure Portal)
Option 1: To Azure
Option 2: To recovery site (i.e., another private cloud at SC VMM at site B)
This is the outcome of one-day lab
