Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same set of answer choices. An answer choice may be correct for more than one question in the series.
Your company office Network includes a file server that has Windows Server 2008 R2 installed and client computers that have Windows 7 Enterprise installed.
The computers are members of an Active Directory domain. The file server has the BranchCache feature installed. All sales users in the office must download a daily updated 5-GB file that is stored on a file server located in a remote office.
You configure the client computers to run BranchCache in Distributed Host mode. You discover that all users still access the file directly from the file server.
You need to reduce the utilization of a WAN link between the offices because of downloading the file to the client computers.
What should you do?
A.
Run the netsh branchcache set service mode=HOSTEDCLIENT command.
B.
Configure firewall exception rules for multicast traffic, inbound and outbound traffic for local UDP port 3702, and inbound and outbound traffic for local TCP port 80.
C.
Configure firewall exception rules for inbound and outbound traffic for local TCP port 80 and for inbound and outbound traffic for local TCP port 8443.
D.
Run the netsh branchcache set service mode=DISTRIBUTED command.
E.
Check permissions.
F.
Create a Group Policy object and enable the Set BranchCache Hosted Cache mode policy.
G.
Create a Group Policy that sets Hash Publication for BranchCache as disabled.
H.
Create a Group policy object and configure the Set percentage of disk space used for client computer cache option.
I.
Run the Netsh branchcache set service mode=HOSTEDSERVER clientauthentication=NONE command.
Explanation:
SteveDave: Now this deends if Microsoft are trying to trip you up by saying “BranchCache in Distributed Host mode” – if this is a typo in the question then the answer will be “create a grouppolicy object and configure the Set percentage of disk space used for client computer cache option” as the 5GB file must be taking the cache size above the default quota allocation (5%), increasing the quota will facilitate file download but his also omitts the size of the HDD so you have to make a leap of faith).
However, if Microsoft have put in a deliberate typo (which would be naughty as they are saying you have configured a feature that doesn’t exist!) then the answer should be “Run the netsh branchcache set service mode=DISTRIBUTED command.” as none of the firewall settings have been configured on the client.
Ether way Microsoft have lied or ommited the information required information.
One other point could be made that the the local server is configured for BranchCache and therefore you should set your clients to HOSTED mode “Run the netsh branchcache set service mode=HOSTEDCLIENT command.” – so all the clients use the onsite server for accessing the cached files.
One thing is clear – the question is as clear as MUD!
