Planning and Implementing Servers

Question

Your network consists of one Active Directory forest that contains two domains. All domain controllers run Windows Server 2003. The network contains file servers that run Windows Server 2003 R2. The files servers run DFS Replication. The forest root domain is named contoso.com and the child domain is named corp.contoso.com. You prepare the forest schema for the installation of domain controllers that run Windows Server 2008. You prepare the corp.contoso.com domain. You install a new domain controller that runs Windows Server 2008 on corp.contoso.com. You need to plan an Active Directory implementation to meet the following requirements:

  • Enable DFS Replication support for SYSVOL on corp.contoso.com.
  • Allow the installation of new domain controllers that run Windows

Server 2003 in the forest root domain. What should you include in your plan?

Options

  • AUpgrade all file servers to Windows Server 2008.
  • BRun adprep /domainprep /gpprep on the corp.contoso.com domain and run adprep
  • CUpgrade all Windows Server 2003 domain controllers to Windows Server 2008.
  • DUpgrade the Windows Server 2003 domain controllers in corp.contoso.com to Windows

Explanation

To enable DFS Replication support for SYSVOL on corp.contoso.com and to allow the installation of new domain controllers that run Windows Server 2003 in the forest root domain, you need to Upgrade the Windows Server 2003 domain controllers in corp.contoso.com to Windows Server 2008 and raise the functional level of corp.contoso.com domain to Windows Server 2008. Upgrade the Windows Server 2003 domain controllers in corp.contoso.com to Windows Server 2008 enables you to use domain-based namespaces. DFS Replication is an efficient, multiple-master replication engine that you can use to keep folders synchronized between servers across limited bandwidth network connections. It replaces the File Replication Service (FRS) as the replication engine for DFS Namespaces, as well as for replicating the AD DSSYSVOL folder in domains that use the Windows Server 2008 domain functional level. To facilitate migrating existing SYSVOL folders to DFS Replication, Windows Server 2008 includes a Dcpromo tool that helps to migrate the replication of existing SYSVOL folders from FRS to DFS Replication. The Windows Server 2008 will use DFS Replication for SYSVOL if the domain functional level is Windows Server 2008 0d1688f90ea71033.mspx?mfr=true
