Question
Your company has an office in New York.
The network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest.
You plan to open a new office in Seattle. The Seattle office will connect to the New York office by using a high-speed WAN link.
You need to recommend a solution for the Seattle office that meets the following requirements.
• Ensures that users in the Seattle office authenticate against a local domain controller, whenever possible
• Ensures that the Seattle office users can change their password in the event of a WAN outage
• Minimizes administrative effort
What should you include in the recommendation?
- A. a subnet, an SMTP site link, and a read-only domain controller (RODC)
- B. a custom AD DS partition, a subnet, and a site link bridge
- C. a subnet, a site, and a domain controller Correct
- D. a subnet, an IP site link, and an Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) server
Explanation
Option C ensures that users in the Seattle office can authenticate against a local domain controller by creating a subnet and site for the new location, with a domain controller deployed there. This setup minimizes administrative effort while ensuring local authentication and password changes during WAN outages.
