  • BOn the parent site, create an asynchronous RAS sender to the secondary site.
  • COn the secondary site, create an asynchronous RAS sender to the parent site.

Why each option

In Configuration Manager, the parent site must have a sender address configured pointing to the secondary site to enable two-way inter-site communication.

AOn the parent site, create a standard sender address to the secondary site.Correct

When a secondary site is installed, it automatically creates a sender address back to its parent, but the parent site does not automatically create one to the secondary site. Creating a standard sender address on the parent site to the secondary site completes the two-way communication channel required for replication and data transfer.

BOn the parent site, create an asynchronous RAS sender to the secondary site.

An asynchronous RAS sender is used for dial-up connections and is not the appropriate sender type for a standard network-connected secondary site installation.

COn the secondary site, create an asynchronous RAS sender to the parent site.

The secondary site already creates a sender address to the parent site automatically during installation, so creating one manually on the secondary site does not resolve the missing direction of communication.

DOn the secondary site, publish the Configuration Manager site information to Active Directory.

Publishing site information to Active Directory improves client site assignment discovery but does not establish or repair inter-site communication between the secondary and parent site.
