Question
Your company has a main office and 10 branch offices that are connected by using WAN links. The network contains an Active Directory domain.
All users have laptops and regularly travel between offices.
You plan to implement BranchCache in the branch offices.
In each branch office, you install a server that runs Windows Server and the BranchCache feature. You register the servers in Active Directory.
You need to configure the laptops to use the local BranchCache server automatically. The solution must minimize administrative effort.
Which two Group Policy settings should you configure? To answer, select the settings in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Explanation
Statement 1 (Yes): Turn on BranchCache enables BranchCache on the client laptops. No other BranchCache client setting takes effect without it.
Statement 2 (No): Set BranchCache Distributed Cache mode makes clients cache and share content with peers on the same subnet. It does not use the branch office servers.
Statement 3 (No): Set BranchCache Hosted Cache mode points clients to hosted cache servers by a fixed name. Laptops that travel between offices would keep using one office's server, and every branch would need its own setting.
Statement 4 (Yes): Enable Automatic Hosted Cache Discovery by Service Connection Point makes clients find the hosted cache server for the office they are in, by using the service connection point that the server registered in Active Directory. This works for traveling users and needs no per-office configuration, so it minimizes administrative effort.
Statement 5 (No): Configure Hosted Cache Servers lists specific hosted cache servers by name. This is a static list, so it is not automatic.
Statement 6 (No): Configure BranchCache for network files sets the round-trip latency at which clients start caching SMB content. It does not help clients find a server.
Statement 7 (No): Set percentage of disk space used for client computer cache only sets the size of the local cache.
Statement 8 (No): Set age for segments in the data cache only sets how long cached segments stay valid.
Statement 9 (No): Configure Client BranchCache Version Support only sets which BranchCache version clients use.
