Explanation

Explanation: A global catalog is a directory database that applications and clients can query to locate any object in a forest. The global catalog is hosted on one or more domain controllers in the forest. It contains a partial replica of every domain directory partition in the forest. These partial replicas include replicas of every object in the forest, as follows: the attributes most frequently used in search operations and the attributes required to locate a full replica of the object. You should install a domain controller, a DNS server, as well as a global catalog at each remote office to ensure that authentication to the domain will be possible even in the event of WAN connection failure. Incorrect answers: A: You need a domain controller not a member server at each remote office in addition to a DNS server and the global catalog. B: You would need a global catalog at each branch office as well to facilitate authentication when the WAN connection is down. C: This option will not facilitate authentication when the WAN connection is down. 2003 Network Infrastructure, Microsoft Press, Redmond, 2003, Chapter 1, p. 28
