Designing and Deploying Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 — Question 15

You have an Exchange Server 2016 organization.
You configure the organization for site resilience.
You have to Exchange servers named exch1.adatum.com and exch2.adatum.com. Each server is in a different data center. The certificates on both servers have a subject name of mail.adatum.com.
Outlook Anywhere is configured to use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server in the local data center.
You need to ensure that Outlook Anywhere remains connected after a database, server, or data center switchover.
Which command should you run?

Answer options

• A. Set-OutlookProvider EXPR -CertPrincipalName "msstd: *.adatum.com"
• B. Set-OutlookProvider ""Identity msExchAutoDiscoverConfig ""TTL 2
• C. Set""OutlookProvider -OutlookProviderFlags ExternalClientsRequireSSL
• D. Set""OutlookProvider EXPR ""CertPrincipalName "msstd:mail.adatum.com" A

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct command is option A, which sets the CertPrincipalName to allow for a wildcard certificate that covers all subdomains under adatum.com, ensuring connectivity during failover. The other options do not properly configure the CertPrincipalName for Outlook Anywhere, which is essential for maintaining a connection during server or data center transitions.
