Designing and Deploying Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 — Question 96

Your company has an Exchange Server 2016 organization. The organization has a four-node database availability group (DAG) that spans two data centers. Each data center is configured as a separate Active Directory site. The data centers connect to each other by using a high-speed WAN link. Each data center connects directly to the Internet and has a scoped Send connector configured.
The company's public DNS zone contains one MX record.
You need to ensure that if an Internet link becomes unavailable in one data center, email messages destined to external recipients can be routed through the other data center.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Create a Receive connector in each data center.
• B. Clear the Proxy through Client Access server check box.
• C. Clear the Scoped Send Connector check box.
• D. Create an MX record in the internal DNS zone.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because clearing the Scoped Send Connector option allows the Send connector to route emails from either data center, ensuring that messages can be sent even if one data center's link is down. Options A and B do not address the routing issue between the data centers, and option D is irrelevant as it pertains to internal DNS rather than external email routing.
