Question
You deploy a new Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest named contoso.com. The domain contains three domain controllers named DC1, DC2, and
DC3.
You rename Default-First-Site-Name as Site1.
You plan to ship DC1, DC2, and DC3 to datacenters in different locations.
You need to configure replication between DC1, DC2, and DC3 to meet the following requirements:
✑ Each domain controller must reside in its own Active Directory site.
✑ The replication schedule between each site must be controlled independently.
✑ Interruptions to replication must be minimized.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence in the Active Directory Sites and Services console? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Explanation
First create Site2 and Site3 and move DC2 and DC3 into them, so that each domain controller is in its own site. New sites are added to DEFAULTIPSITELINK, so at that point all three sites share one link and one schedule. Intersite replication schedules are set on site links, so create an additional site link that contains Site1 and Site2, and then remove Site2 from DEFAULTIPSITELINK. Site1 and Site2 then replicate over the new link, Site1 and Site3 over DEFAULTIPSITELINK, and each link has its own schedule. The connection objects are left to the KCC: it creates and maintains them automatically and builds new ones when a domain controller or link fails, which keeps interruptions to a minimum. Connection objects you create manually are not managed or optimized by the KCC, and their intersite schedule comes from the site link anyway.
