You are employed as a network administrator at ABC.com. ABC.com has an Active Directory
domain named ABC.com. All servers on the ABC.com network have Windows Server 2012
installed.
ABC.com has two servers, named ABC-SR07 and ABC-SR08, which are configured in a two-node
failover cluster. ABC-SR07 includes a folder, named ABCAppData, which is configured as a
Distributed File System (DFS) namespace folder target.
After configuring another two nodes in the failover cluster, you are instructed to make sure that
access to ABCAppData is highly available. You also have to make sure that application data is
replicated to ABCAppData via DFS Replication.
Which of the following actions should you take?
A.
You should consider configuring a Scale-Out File Server.
B.
You should consider configuring the replication settings for the cluster.
C.
You should consider configuring a file server for general use.
D.
You should consider configuring the Quorum settings.
Explanation:
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

actually it is A.
DFS folder target is supported in SoFS and this folder is used for application data.

In the link above it says: you can’t use DFS Replication to replicate a library share hosted on a scale-out file share

It is definitely C, because DFS replication is not supported in SoFS, whereas both DFS folder target and DFS replication are supported in General Use File Server Cluster.
If you use a scale-out file share as a library share, you can use only technologies that are compatible with Scale-Out File Server. For example, you can’t use DFS Replication to replicate a library share hosted on a scale-out file share. It’s also important that the scale-out file server have the latest software updates installed.
