The domain contains two member servers named Server1 and Server2.
All servers run Windows Server 2012. Server1 and Server2 have the Failover Clustering feature installed.
The servers are configured as nodes in a failover cluster named Cluster1.
You add two additional nodes in Cluster1.
You have a folder named Folder1 on Server1 that hosts application data.
Folder1 is a folder target in a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace.
You need to provide highly available access to Folder1.
The solution must support DFS Replication to Folder1.

EXAM TIP
Learn the limitations of SoFS well.
Dont be tricked into selecting SoFS as the file server type for a new clustered file server just because the
question states it will host application data.
If the file server is also used with incompatible features(such as BranchCache, DFS, or File Server
Resource Manager), or if no CSVs are available, you must choose File Server For General Useas the file
server type.

    Scale-Out File Server for application data
    This clustered file server feature was introduced in Windows Server 2012, and it lets you store server application data, such as Hyper-V virtual machine files, on file shares, and obtain a similar level of reliability, availability, manageability, and high performance that you would expect from a storage area network. All file shares are simultaneously online on all nodes. File shares associated with this type of clustered file server are called scale-out file shares. This is sometimes referred to as active-active. This is the recommended file server type when deploying either Hyper-V over Server Message Block (SMB) or Microsoft SQL Server over SMB.

    File Server for general use
    This is the continuation of the clustered file server that has been supported in Windows Server since the introduction of Failover Clustering. This type of clustered file server, and therefore all the shares associated with the clustered file server, is online on one node at a time. This is sometimes referred to as active-passive or dual-active. File shares associated with this type of clustered file server are called clustered file shares. This is the recommended file server type when deploying information worker scenarios.
