AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 209

You have a Simple AD deployment, and you wish to use it for your Microsoft Exchange email server. You are having issues finding the AD server, why might this be?

Answer options

• A. You need to contact AWS to receive a PTR record for your email server.
• B. Your firewall is blocking it.
• C. Simple AD is not a full Active Directory server and will not work with many MS products.
• D. SSL is not implemented.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because Simple AD lacks the full functionality of a complete Active Directory server, which limits its compatibility with various Microsoft products like Exchange. Options A and B refer to network issues that are not directly related to the compatibility of Simple AD. Option D is irrelevant since SSL implementation does not affect the basic compatibility of the directory service with Exchange.
