Topic 1, Contoso Ltd Case A
Overview
Contoso, Ltd., is a healthcare company in Europe that has 2,000 users. The company is migrating to Windows Server 2012.
The company has two main offices and two branch offices. The main offices are located in Paris and Amsterdam. One of the branch offices is a sales office located
in Berlin. The other branch office is a research office located in Brussels.
The offices connect to each other by using a WAN link.
Current Environment
Active Directory
The network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. An Active Directory site exists for each office.
The forest contains a child domain named research.contoso.com.
The functional level of both the domains is Windows Server 2008.
In each site, there are two domain controllers for the contoso.com domain and two domain controllers for the research.contoso.com domain. The domain controllers
run Windows Server 2008 R2.
All of the domain controllers are global catalog servers.
The FSMO roles were not moved since the domains were deployed.
Network Infrastructure
All servers run Windows Server 2008 R2.
Each user has a laptop computer that runs Windows 7.
The company has 10 print servers. Each print server contains several shared printers.
The company has 10 file servers that have the following disk configurations:
A simple volume named C that is the System and Boot volume and is formatted NTFS
A mounted virtual hard disk (VHD) named DATA that is formatted NTFS
A simple volume named D that is formatted FAT32
A simple volume named E that is formatted NTFS
A Clustered Shared Volume (CSV)
The Paris office contains a server named PA1. The Amsterdam office contains a server named AM1.
Both servers have the following server roles installed:
DNS Server
DHCP Server
Remote Access
The DNS servers are configured to use the DNS servers of the company’s Internet Service Provider (ISP) as forwarders.
Users often work remotely. The users access the internal network by using an SSTP-based VPN connection.
Requirements
Planned Changes
The company plans to implement the following changes:
Create a child domain named sales.contoso.com. Only the domain controllers in sales.contoso.com will host a zone for the sales.contoso.com domain. The
domain controllers in sales.contoso.com will run Windows Server 2012. The client computers in sales.contoso.com will use the sales.contoso.com domain
controllers as their DNS servers.
Implement two servers in the Amsterdam office and two servers in the Paris office to replace PA1 and AMI. These new servers will run Windows Server 2012
and will not have shared storage.
Decommission the research.contoso.com domain. All of the users and the Group Policy objects (GPOs) in research.contoso.com will be migrated to
contoso.com.
Migrate the existing print queues to virtualized instances of Windows Server 2012.
Migrate the file servers to new servers that run Windows Server 2012.
Implement RADIUS authentication for VPN connections.
Deploy Windows Server 2012 to all new servers.
Technical Requirements
The company identifies following technical requirements:
All changes to Group Policies must be logged.
Network Access Protection (NAP) policies must be managed centrally.
Core networking services in each office must be redundant if a server fails.
The possibility of IP address conflicts during the DHCP migration must be minimized.
A central log of the IP address leases and the users associated to those leases must be created.
All of the client computers must be able to resolve internal names and internet names.
Administrators in the Paris office need to deploy a series of desktop restrictions to the entire company by using Group Policy.
The new sales.contoso.com domain will contain a web application that will access data from a Microsoft SQL Server located in the contoso.com domain. The
web application must use integrated Windows authentication. Users’ credentials must be passed from the web applications to the SQL Server.

You are evaluating the implementation of data deduplication on the planned Windows Server 2012 file servers.
The planned servers will have the identical disk configurations as the current servers.
You need to identify which volumes can be enabled for data deduplication.
Which volumes should you identify? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)

Explanation:
* Scenario:
A mounted virtual hard disk (VHD) named DATA that is formatted NTFS A simple volume named E that is formatted NTFS

It slices, it dices, and it cleans your floors!
Well, the Data Deduplication feature doesn’t do everything in this version. It is only available in certain Windows Server 2012 editions and has some limitations.
Deduplication was built for NTFS data volumes and it does not support boot or system drives and cannot be used with Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV). We don’t
support deduplicating live VMs or running SQL databases. See how to determine which volumes are candidates for deduplication on Technet.
