Designing and Implementing a Server Infrastructure — Question 42

Your company has a main office and three branch offices. The main office is located in North America. The branch offices are located in South America, Asia and
Europe.
You plan to design an Active Directory forest and domain infrastructure.
You need to recommend an Active Directory design to meet the following requirements:
✑ The contact information of all the users in the Europe office must not be visible to the users in the other offices.
✑ The administrators in each office must be able to control the user settings and the computer settings of the users in their respective office.
✑ The administrators in the Asia office must be able to deploy a custom application named App1. App1 requires modifications to the Active Directory schema.
The solution must use the least amount of administrative effort.
What should you include in the recommendation?

Answer options

• A. One forest that contains four domains
• B. Four forests that each contain one domain
• C. Two forests that each contain one domain
• D. One forest that contains one domain

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a single forest with one domain simplifies management and meets the requirements for user isolation, allowing administrators to manage their respective settings without additional complexity. Options A, B, and C increase the administrative burden and do not effectively address the need for user contact information privacy and schema modifications in a streamlined manner.
