Topic 4, A.Datum
Background
General Background
You are a SharePoint administrator for A. Datum Corporation. A. Datum is a large legal firm with offices
in Chicago, New York, and London. A. Datum is merging with a smaller legal firm named Fabrikam, Inc.
Technical Background
A)
Datum has an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named adatum.com. The domain
contains an Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) server.
The A. Datum SharePoint environment includes the sites described in the following table.

The A. Datum SharePoint environment contains two servers that run all SharePoint services. The servers
run Windows Server 2012 and are members of the domain. A third-party file-level antivirus application
runs on all servers in the domain. The adatum.com farm uses Microsoft SQL Server 2012 for the
SharePoint databases.
A)
Datum is planning a three-tier SharePoint farm to replace the existing farm. A firewall will be placed
between each tier. All servers must be virtualized unless otherwise specified. The following servers are
available for the new SharePoint environment:

All user accounts are stored in and maintained by using Active Directory. The My Site portal and
document portal SharePoint sites receive user and group membership information by using ActiveDirectory synchronization. New users often have to wait more than 24 hours before they can view their
user profile information.
Fabrikam has an AD DS domain named fabrikam.com and a single-server SharePoint environment.
Web Applications
A new remote web application named App1 will be hosted in the adatum.com domain. App1 will require
access to SharePoint resources in the fabrikam.com domain. SharePoint administrators in the
fabrikam.com domain must be able to administer App1 by using Windows PowerShell.
Technical Requirements
You must meet the following technical requirements:
 Fabrikam users must be able to directly access internal SharePoint
resources in the adatum.com domain.
 Datum users must not be able to access resources in the fabrikam.com
domain.
 All documents relating to the merger must contain a barcode, and must
be protected from distribution.
 Authenticated users must not be prompted for credentials when they
access App1.
 Users in the adatum.com domain must be able to access all SharePoint
sites the same day they receive their Active Directory account credentials.
 When a user account is deleted, the user’s personal site collection must
automatically be removed within 12 hours.
 The antivirus application must not scan SharePoint directories.
When migrating the SharePoint environment, you must meet the following requirements:
 The application and database servers must not be accessible from the
Internet.
 The database servers must accept connections only from the SharePoint
servers.
 The database servers must be physical machines running Windows
Server 2012 with direct access to storage.
 The database servers must be configured for redundancy.
 All database transaction logs must be sent off-site.
 All SharePoint installation prerequisites must be installed offline.

You need to prepare the web servers for a SharePoint installation in the new farm.
Which three actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose
three.)

A.
Save the PrerequisiteInstaller.Arguments file in the same directory as the prerequisite installer.

B.
Define the installation arguments in a file named PrerequisiteInstaller.Arguments.txt

C.
Install Windows Server 2012 on SERVER02.

D.
Define the installation arguments in a file named PrerequisiteInstaller.Arguments.cfg.

E.
Save the PrerequisiteInstaller.Arguments file in the SharePoint installation directory.

F.
Install Windows Server 2012 on a virtual machine.

Explanation:
A, B: Using a text editor, create a new text document named PrerequisiteInstaller.Arguments.txt. Save
this file to the same location as PrerequisiteInstaller.exe.
F: From Scenario: All servers must be virtualized unless otherwise specified
Note: From scenario (but applies to the database server, not the web servers): The database servers
must be physical machines running Windows Server 2012 with direct access to storage. Install prerequisites for SharePoint 2013 from a network share
