Your network contains a file server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012. All client computers run
Windows 8.
You need to ensure that when users are connected tothe network, they always use local offline files that are
cached from Server1.
Which Group Policy setting should you configure?
A.
Configure slow-link mode
B.
Configure Slow link speed
C.
Enable file synchronization on costed networks
D.
Turn on economical Application of Administratively assigned Offline Files
Explanation:
A: Offline Files to provide faster access to cachedfiles and redirected folders. B: Defines a slow connection for
purposes of App1ying and updating Group Policy. C: automatically tracks roaming and bandwidth usage limits
while on metered connections D: Lists network filesand folders that are always available for offline use. This
policy makes the specified filesand folders available offline to users of the computer.
When Offline Files is operating in the slow-link mode, all network file requests are satisfied from the OfflineFiles
cache. This is similar to a user working offline.
If you enable this policy setting, Offline Files uses the slow-link mode if the network throughput between
theclient and the server is below (slower than) theThroughput threshold parameter, or if the round-trip
networklatency is above (slower than) the Latency threshold parameter.

Offline Files, also known as client-side caching, is a Windows feature that enables client systems to maintain local copies of files they access from server shares. When a client selects the Always available offline option for a server-based file, folder, or share, the client system copies the selected data to the local drive and updates it regularly, so that the client user can always access it, even if the server is offline. To enable clients to use the Offline Files feature, the share must have the Allow caching of share check box selected. Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 also have a new Always Offline mode for the Offline Files feature that causes clients to always use the cached copy of server files, providing better performance. To implement this mode, you must set the Configure slow-link mode Group Policy setting on the client to a value of 1 millisecond.
Configure slow-link mode: this policy setting controls the network latency and throughput thresholds that will cause a client computers to transition files and folders that are already available offline to the slow-link mode so that the user’s access to this data is not degraded due to network slowness. When Offline Files is operating in the slow-link mode, all network file requests are satisfied from the Offline Files cache. This is similar to a user working offline.
If you enable this policy setting, Offline Files uses the slow-link mode if the network throughput between the client and the server is below (slower than) the Throughput threshold parameter, or if the round-trip network latency is above (slower than) the Latency threshold parameter.

Sorry Answer is A – Configure slow-link mode.

I considered D as this seems to be covered by Specify Administratively assigned Offline Files. But there is no economical Application to turn on.
Since A achieve the same for Windows 8 by setting latency to 1 ms, it seems the right option.

For those who might consider B. Slow-link speed is for windows XP only.
Hope this will help you narrow down the list of given answers.
I would go for A tho.
