You are designing the site topology for an Active Directory forest n

amed contoso.com.

The forest will contain the following servers:

In each regional datacenter and in the main office, a domain controller that runs Windows Server 2012

In each branch office, a file server that runs Windows Server 2012

lder that is accessed by using the path \\contoso.com\shares\software. The folder will be replicated to a local file server in each branch office by using Distributed File System (DFS) replication.

meet the following requirements:

Ensure that users in the branch offices will be authenticated by a domain controller in the closest regional datacenter.

es\software.
