Question

Case Study 3 - ADatum Corporation Overview Company Information ADatum Corporation is a manufacturing company that has a main office in Seattle and two branch offices in Los Angeles and Montreal. Fabrikam Partnership ADatum recently partnered with 2 company named Fabrikam, Inc. Fabrikam is a manufacturing company that has a main office in Boston and a branch office in Orlando. Both companies intend to collaborate on several joint projects. Existing Environment ADatum AD DS Environment The on-premises network of ADatum contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest named adatum.com. The forest contains two domains named adatum.com and east.adatum.com and the domain controllers shown in the following table. Fabrikam AD DS Environment The on-premises network of Fabrikam contains an AD DS forest named fabrikam.com. The forest contains two domains named fabrikam.com and south.fabrikam.com. The fabrikam.com domain contains an organizational unit (OU) named Marketing. Server Infrastructure The adatum.com domain contains the servers shown in the following table. HyperV1 contains the virtual machines shown in the following table. All the virtual machines on HyperV1 have only the default management tools installed. SSPace1 contains the Storage Spaces virtual disks shown in the following table. Azure Resources ADatum has an Azure subscription that contains an Azure AD tenant. Azure AD Connect is configured to sync the adatum.com forest with Azure AD. The subscription contains the virtual networks shown in the following table. The subscription contains the Azure Private DNS zones shown in the following table. The subscription contains the virtual machines shown in the following table. All the servers are in a workgroup. The subscription contains a storage account named storage1 that has a file share named share1. Requirements Planned Changes ADatum plans to implement the following changes:

  • Sync Data1 to share1.
  • Configure an Azure runbook named Task1.
  • Enable Azure AD users to sign in to Server1.
  • Create an Azure DNS Private Resolver that has the following configurations:
  • Name: Private1
  • Region: West US
  • Virtual network: VNet1
  • Inbound endpoint: SubnetB
  • Enable users in the adatum.com domain to access the resources in the south.fabrikam.com

domain. Technical Requirements ADatum identifies the following technical requirements:

  • The data on SSPace1 must be available always.
  • DC2 must become the schema master if DC1 fails.
  • VM3 must be configured to enable per-folder quotas.
  • Trusts must allow access to only the required resources.
  • The users in the Marketing OU must have access to storage1.
  • Azure Automanage must be used on all supported Azure virtual machines.
  • A direct SSH session must be used to manage all the supported virtual machines on HyperV1.

You need to ensure that access to storage1 for the Marketing OU users meets the technical requirements. What should you implement?

Why each option

Azure AD Connect cloud sync is a lightweight synchronization agent for connecting multiple, disconnected on-premises Active Directory forests to Azure AD.

AActive Directory Federation Services (AD FS)

AD FS provides single sign-on capabilities for on-premises applications and federated authentication, but it is not primarily a tool for synchronizing user accounts from on-premises AD to Azure AD.

BAzure AD Connect in staging mode

Azure AD Connect in staging mode is used for testing configuration changes or as a high-availability option for an existing Azure AD Connect deployment, not as the primary synchronization method for a new environment.

CAzure AD Connect cloud syncCorrect

Azure AD Connect cloud sync is ideal for synchronizing identities from multiple disconnected on-premises Active Directory forests to a single Azure AD tenant. It uses a lightweight agent to perform synchronization from AD to Azure AD, making it suitable for distributed environments or when Fabrikam needs a simpler, agent-based solution without a full Azure AD Connect server infrastructure.

DAzure AD Connect in active mode

Azure AD Connect in active mode is the full synchronization server, but cloud sync might be preferred for its lightweight nature or ability to handle multiple disconnected forests, which is often a feature of case studies.
