Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
You plan to implement Network Load Balancing (NLB).
You need to identify which network services and applications can be load balanced by using NLB.
Which services and applications should you identify?
A.
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services
B.
A failover cluster
C.
A DHCP server
D.
A Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Mailbox server
E.
A file server
F.
A Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 front-end Web server
Explanation:
NLB is ONLY usable on STATELESS network services – ie: Read-only services, like front end web servers, or SQL reporting servers. (on servers that do
not allow the clients to change/modify anything).
Need Help with this.. Got this question in the exam and they want three options not two. i am confused as to what the third one would be
Not sure on this one…. I’m thinking A,D, and F.
A & F. NLB is for stateless services such as proxy servers, HTTP, and Exchange Client Access Servers (CAS). An Exchange Mailbox server is not stateless.
Not D.
The CAS role was introduced in Exchange 2007. The CAS role is separate from the Mailbox server role and supports Web Outlook (HTTP/HTTPS), POP, and IMAP, and other mainly external perimeter connections in order to access internal mailboxes.
Load balancing helps distribute incoming client connections over a variety of endpoints—for example, Client Access servers—to ensure that no one endpoint takes on a disproportional share of the load.
