HOTSPOT
Yournetwork contains one Active Directory forest named contoso.com.
The forest contains a single domain.
The domain contains the domain controllers is configured as shown in the following table.
The forest contains a member server named Server1.
Server1 has an IP address of 172.16.10.66.
The forest has the following Active Directory subnet configuration.
Use the drop down menus to select the answer choice that complete each statement.

<map><m x1=”517″ x2=”573″ y1=”35″ y2=”51″ ss=”0″ a=”0″ /><m x1=”856″ x2=”906″

When you promote Server1 to a domain controller, the server object is assigned to the following
site: Site1
When you start on a member server with the IP address 172.16.10.116 an Active Directory lookup,
attempting to connect to DC1 produce.
B)
When you promote Server1 to a domain controller, the server object is assigned to the following
site: Site2
When you start on a member server with the IP address 172.16.10.116 an Active Directory lookup,
attempting to connect to DC2 produce.
C)
When you promote Server1 to a domain controller, the server object is assigned to the following
location: Site3
When you start on a member server with the IP address 172.16.10.116 an Active Directory lookup,
attempting to connect with DC3 produce
D)
When you promote Server1 to a domain controller, the server object is assigned to the following
location: site4
When you start on a member server with the IP address 172.16.10.116 an Active Directory lookup,
attempting to connect to DC4 produce.
E)
When you promote Server1 to a domain controller, the server object is assigned to the following
site: Site1
When you start on a member server with the IP address 172.16.10.116 an Active Directory lookup,
attempting to connect with DC3 produce.
F)
When you promote Server1 to a domain controller, the server object is assigned to the following
site: Site2
When you start on a member server with the IP address 172.16.10.116 an Active Directory lookup,
attempting to connect to DC1 produce.
S1 – 172.16.10.66/26, /26 = 63 IP address, Site 2 is located in this subnet. You be automatically
redirected on DC2 on your IP addressing.
That one question is a blend of CCNA and MSCA
main work done on CCNA side, minor in MCSA
first: get which subnet server1 belong to
Subnet 172.16.10.0/26
Start ip address 172.16.10.1/26
*Where Server1 ip addess falls 172.16.10.66/26, which means the promoted dc object will be
created in Site1
end ip address 172.16.10.62/26
Subnet 172.16.10.64/26
start ip address 172.16.10.65/26
*Where the domain member falls 172.16.10.116/26, which means it belong to Site2
end ip address 172.16.10.126/26
Subnet 172.16.10.128/26
start ip address 172.16.129/26
end ip address 172.16.10.190/26
Subnet 172.16.10.192/26
start ip address 172.16.10.193/26
end ip address 172.16.10.254/26
My answer is
If you promote Server1 to a domain controller, its server object will be created in Site1
If you perform an Active Directory search from a domain member that has an IP address of 172.16.10.116, you will attempt to connect DC2

Your own logic fails you.
Subnet 1: 172.16.10.1 – 172.16.10.62
Subnet 2: 172.16.10.65 – 172.16.10.126
So 172.16.10.66 is the second IP in the second subnet.

Answer: Site2 & DC2
You can work out the subnet IPs (/26 255-192= 63 IPs/61 assignable IPs per subnet once you take out the gateway and broadcast) or do a quick approach and just look at the starting IPs for each site subnet.
