Topic 1, Fabrikam inc.
Overview
Fabrikam. Inc. is an international manufacturing company that has 5,000 employees. The company has sales,
marketing research and human resources departments. Fabrikam has two main offices and three branch
offices. The main offices are located in New York and London. The branch offices are located in Seattle,
Montreal, and Paris. The offices connect to each other by using a WAN link. Each office connects directly to the
Internet. The WAN connections from the main offices to the branch offices are reliable.
Existing Environment
Exchange Environment
The Exchange Server organization contains servers that have either Exchange Server 2010 or Exchange Server
2013 installed. Each main office contains two Exchange Server 2013 servers. Each branch office contains one
Exchange Server 2010 server.
MX records are configured to deliver email to the offices in New York and London. Email is delivered to the
London office only if the New York office is unavailable.
Each office is configured to use a separate namespace for client access. The New York office is configured to
use a namespace of mail.fabrikam.com.
The servers in the New York and London offices are members of a database availability group (DAG).
Each mailbox database in the New York and London offices has three copies.
The technical support staff in the branch offices have administrative access to the existing Exchange servers
and are assigned Organization Management permissions.
Users from the sales department frequently send email messages that contain the Social Security number of
customers in the United States.
Problem Statements
Fabrikam identifies the following issues on the network:
Users in the Paris office report that when launching Microsoft Outlook, they receive a security alert
indicating a certificate name mismatch. The security alert is not generated when they connect to Outlook
Web Access. Users from the other offices do not report receiving the security alert.
Network administrators report that the mailbox databases in the New York office sometimes activate on
the Exchange servers in the London office, resulting in poor performance for the New York office users.
Planned Changes
Fabrikam plans to implement the following changes to the network:
Upgrade the organization to Exchange Server 2016 during the next six months.
Enable online document viewing and editing from Outlook on the web.
High Availability Requirements
Fabrikam identifies the following high-availability requirements for the planned deployment:
Mailbox databases that contain mailboxes for the New York office users must only be activated on the
servers in the London office manually.
All client access connections to the London and New York offices must use load-balanced namespaces.
The load balancing mechanism must perform health checks.
Security and compliance requirements
Fabrikam identifies the following security and compliance requirements:
After the planned upgrade, the maximum mailbox size must be 5 GB.
Administrators from the branch offices must be able to view the mailbox properties and reset the
passwords of the users, but must be prevented from changing the mailbox database configurations.
Users who are involved in legal disputes with customers must be prevented from permanently deleting
email messages pertaining to the dispute. The users must be able to delete all other messages
permanently.
If a user enters a Social Security number in an email message addressed to an external recipient, the user
must receive a notification before sending the message If the user sends the message. The message must
not be delivered. A compliance officer must be notified of the violation.
Connectivity requirements
Fabrikam identifies the following connectivity requirements:
Connections for inbound and outbound email must be initiated and terminated from an Edge Transport
server in the perimeter network.
All external client connections from the branch office users must be proxied from the New York office to
the branch offices.
The number of namespaces used for client access must be minimized.
###EndCaseStudy###
You deploy Layer 7 load balancers to the New York and London offices.
You are planning the namespace configuration that will be used once you complete the planned upgrade to
Exchange Server 2016.
You need to recommend a solution to meet the connectivity requirements for the namespaces.
What should you recommend?
A.
On the New York office servers, change the internal URLs to mail.fabrikam.com.
B.
On all of the branch office servers, change the external URLs to $null.
C.
On all of the branch office servers, change the external URLs to mail.farikam.com.
D.
On the New York office servers, change the internal URLs to Snull.
C

If you study
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/exchange/2015/10/26/client-connectivity-in-an-exchange-2016-coexistence-environment-with-exchange-2010/
..and requirement was “All external client connections from the branch office users must be proxied from the New York office to the branch offices”
I would say that external URLs in branch office servers should be changed to $null in order to make connection to proxy from New York to branch office. That makes B a good candidate.

Since you are using load balancer which as all load balancers redirects traffic to all nodes based on some preset, you still need to have the external URL´s set to the same, because then there would be cert name mismatch if any is used. Internal hostname is the one used during proxying inside organization.
So C

No Vietnam, the LBs don’t redirect to all nodes but only to NY and London offices.
I’m agree with Mahoney.
We need to configure a CAS client connection proxied from NY to branch office.
If you set an external URL, the connection will be redirected to the externeal URL, not proxied.
B

Passed the exam today. Had two case studies. The one above and Relecloud. I think there was about 5 questions per CS and then 30 individual questions.
Some of the questions have changed, so brush up on your DAG powershell commands.
Few of the things I remember:
* Database fails and you need to restore to another server, but copy the transaction logs from existing server.
* Mailbox permissions: what commands to use for “send as” & “full-access” & “send on behalf”
* Approx 40% of questions are on this site
* If you have an Edge server and you want to track a failed email message, where do you look for it
* How Exchange 2016 delivers a message to a user mailbox if located on Exchange 2010
* Which Role for E-Discovery
* Powershell command for DAC and auto failover of DAGs
* Layer 7 vs Layer 4 LB
* Setup SCL for spam and what it means to set a value of x
Good Luck

Passed with 850 today. Was pretty hard, a lot of new questions. Only maybe about 10 questions from here. I’ve studied for a week, mostly just looking at Pluralsight videos. 2 case studies, 4~5 questions each and about 30 individual questions.

Wow congratz man, I’ve been studying for the past 5 months and I still don’t feel prepared, have my exam this Friday, hopefully I’ll pass on the first try.
ON TOPIC: I agree with answer B, we want all connections to hit the New York office first and they will be then proxied as needed. So we want to only have a single namespace that users connect to, and an Autodiscover SCP configured for New York. All the other sites must not be internet facing – and by internet facing I mean no external namespace configured.
