Case Study: 8
Fourth Coffee
Scenario:
You are an enterprise desktop support technician for Fourth Coffee. The network contains a
single domain named fourthcoffee.com.
Physical Environment
The company has three offices. The offices are configured as shown in the following table.
The relevant servers are configured as shown in the following table.
The Web1 server is accessible only through the URL http://web1.fourthcoffee.local
Application Configurations
Fourth Coffee deploys an application named App1 to users in the main office by using a
Group Policy object (GPO) named APP1Deploy. App1 requires that a drive named M be
mapped to
\\AppServer1\AppData$. App1 saves information on a local computer if drive M is
unavailable. All client computers have drive M.
Security Policy
The corporate security policy states that domain controllers can only be deployed in secure
data centers. Branch office 2 does not have a secure data center.
Client Configuration
All users connect remotely through VPN1. VPN1 is configured to accept only SSTP-based
VPN connections. All client computers receive IP configurations from DHCP. You recently
purchased 100 desktop computers from a new hardware vendor.
###EndCaseStudy###
Users in branch office 2 map drives to shared folders on SRV1. The users report that they cannot
access files in the shared folders when the WAN link between branch office 2 and the main office is
unavailable. When they attempt to access the files, they are prompted to enter their credentials but
are denied access. You need to ensure that the users can access the shared folders if the WAN link
fails. What should you do?
A.
Instruct a desktop support technician to configure Offline Files on the Windows 7 computers.
B.
Instruct a desktop support technician to configure BranchCache on the Windows 7 computers.
C.
Request that a domain administrator deploy a domain controller in branch office 2.
D.
Request that a domain administrator enable Universal Group Membership Caching for branch
office 2.
Explanation:
changed answer from A. to B.
You should use BranchCache in distributed mode and not offline files.
Offline files are for single-user files and this question specifies it’s a shared folder.
Correct answer is D. Problem is that there is no DC when the WAN is down so users can’t authenticate. Universal Group Membership Caching will solve the problem within security policy.

Mistake.D would still need a DC to be at office 2. Was thinking about Global catalogue and wrote DC. Still not sure if B would work but it is the most likely answer since C&D are against sec.policy
