Microsoft 365 Identity and Services (legacy) — Question 8

Your network contains three Active Directory forests.
You create a Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant.
You plan to sync the on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD.
You need to recommend a synchronization solution. The solution must ensure that the synchronization can complete successfully and as quickly as possible if a single server fails.
What should you include in the recommendation?

Answer options

• A. three Azure AD Connect sync servers and three Azure AD Connect sync servers in staging mode
• B. one Azure AD Connect sync server and one Azure AD Connect sync server in staging mode
• C. three Azure AD Connect sync servers and one Azure AD Connect sync server in staging mode
• D. six Azure AD Connect sync servers and three Azure AD Connect sync servers in staging mode

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because having one Azure AD Connect sync server ensures that synchronization can occur, while the staging mode server serves as a backup in case the primary server fails. Options A, C, and D provide excessive servers that do not meet the requirement of ensuring quick recovery with minimal resources, making them inefficient for this scenario.
