Designing and Deploying Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 — Question 30

Your company has a main office and a branch office. An Active Directory site exits for each office.
The offices are connected by a WAN link.
You plan to deploy Exchange Server 2016 in each site.
You need to identify the number of Exchange servers required to meet the following requirements:
✑ Maintain user access to mailboxes if a single server fails
✑ Use the minimum number of Exchange servers in each site
How many servers should you deploy in each site?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Deploying 1 Exchange server in each site meets the requirement of maintaining user access to mailboxes in the event of a single server failure through the use of a Database Availability Group (DAG). If more than one server were deployed, it would exceed the minimum required to ensure availability, thus incurring unnecessary costs and complexity.
