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.

You need to configure Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS).
What should you do? To answer, drag the appropriate domain or option to the correct location.
Each domain or 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.
Select and Place:
Answer: 
Current answers (1=c 2=c 3=b 4=a) is incorrect.
It should be “1=a 2=a 3=d 4=c”
That is to say,
Deploy an RD RMS cluster to: “fabrikam.com” (Not Contoso.com)//
Configure “fabricam.com” (Not Contoso.com) as a “trusted user domain” (Not trusted publishing domain)
// for the domain “Contoso.com” (Not fabrikam.com)
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd983944%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
fabricam.com –> fabrikam.com
I had already put a comment on this but not sure where it went.
There’s two answers here.
1)
Deploy an AD RMS cluster to “fabrikam.com”
Configure “fabrikam.com” as a “trusted user domain” for the domain “contoso.com”
2)
Deploy an AD RMS cluster to “fabrikam.com”
Configure “contoso.com” as a “trusted publishing domain” for the domain “fabrikam.com
But it states:
– 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.
Doesn’t that mean we need it in Contoso, since we’re all accessing Contoso?
Also, if we want to be nitpicky, it states “ensure…get licenses…FROM…contoso.com”
That means we’d need an RMS in Contoso, right?
Hey, what do I know, I’ve never actually seen RMS implemented in a production environment.
Keep in mind here that Contoso.com does have an AD RMS implementation but Fabrikam does not. This is why I’m not so sure the second answer I gave is acceptable.
I’d use:
Deploy an AD RMS cluster to “fabrikam.com”
Configure “fabrikam.com” as a “trusted user domain” for the domain “contoso.com”
In order to configure the second option I mentioned, I believe Fabrikam would need an AD RMS implementation as well, which they do not.
Nevermind, I think I’m losing it! Seeing as the solution states that Fabrikam will have an AD RMS implementation, the second answer I provided should also be correct.
