70-158 Question #53: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

You are planning to deploy Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010 in your company network to provide an identity management solution between an enterprise resource planning (ERP) application and Active Directory. The solution will contain the following FIM services: FIM Service FIM Service database FIM Synchronization Service FIM Synchronization Service database You need to ensure that all FIM services support fault tolerance. What should you do? (Choose all that apply.)

Options

• ADeploy FIM Service in a network load-balanced configuration.
• BDeploy a FIM Service instance on an active server and a second FIM service instance on a
• CDeploy the FIM Synchronization Service database and FIM Service database in a failover
• DDeploy the FIM Synchronization Service database and FIM Service database in a network
• EDeploy a FIM Synchronization Service instance on an active physical server and a second FIM

Explanation

This question tests knowledge of FIM 2010 fault tolerance architecture, requiring candidates to identify which deployment models support high availability for each FIM component.

Common mistakes.

• A. FIM Service cannot be deployed in a network load-balanced (NLB) configuration because NLB is not supported for the FIM Service role due to session state and service dependencies that require active/passive clustering instead.
• D. SQL Server databases for FIM components do not support network load balancing for fault tolerance; SQL Server high availability requires failover clustering (active/passive), not NLB, making this an invalid configuration for database fault tolerance.

Concept tested. FIM 2010 high availability and fault tolerance deployment
