Question
Your company has one main office and one branch office. The branch office is connected to the main office by using a wide area network (WAN) link. The network consists of one Active directory domain. The branch office has two member servers that run Windows Server 2008 R2. One of the servers is configured as a file server that hosts shared folders. The branch office has a local administrator. The main office has one standard primary DNS zone that is hosted on a DNS server. The branch office grows from 100 client computers to 1,000 client computers. You need to recommend a name resolution solution for the branch office to meet the following requirements:
- Users must be able to access file shares on the local server if a WAN
link fails.
- The branch office administrator must be able to modify Active
Directory objects while at the branch office if a WAN link fails. What should you recommend?
Options
- APromote the member server to a domain controller and configure the DNS role.
- BPromote the member server to a domain controller and configure the DNS role.
- CPromote the member server to a read-only domain controler (RODC) and configure the DNS
- DPromote the member server to a read-only domain controller (RODC) and configure the DNS

Explanation
To ensure that the users are allowed to access file shares on the local server and the branch office administrator are allowed modify Active Directory objects from the branch office in the absence of the WAN link, you need to promote the member server to a domain controller and create a standard secondary zone. This is because you want the branch office administrator to modify Active Directory objects from the branch office. You should not promote the member server to a read-only domain controller (RODC) because and RODC is read only does not allow you to make any changes to the Active directory. Besides you need to create a standard secondary zone because you want to ensure that the users in the branch office are able to log on to the domain even if the WAN link fails. Primary zones store their zone information in a writable text file on the name server and Secondary zones store their zone information in a read-only text file on the name server. For a branch office, Secondary zone is used so that branch office users need not depend on the Primary zone, configured at the head office to access resources and for logging on.
