An organization purchases an Office 365 plan for 10,000 user accounts. You have a domain controller
that runs Windows Server 2008 R2. The forest functional level is set to Windows Server 2000.
The organization must be able to synchronize user attributes from the on-premises Active Directory
Domain Services environment to Office 365.
You need to prepare to install the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
A.
Upgrade the domain controller to Windows Server 2012.
B.
Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.
C.
Install Windows Server 2012 Standard edition.
D.
Raise the forest functional level to Windows Server 2008 R2.
E.
Join a workstation to an Active Directory domain.
Isn’t it B and C?

Nope, need to raise the Forest functional level, as it states it’s only currently at 2000 (minimum supported Forest functional level is 2003).

It also states that you need to prepare to install the Active Directory DirSync tool, but says nothing about kicking off a sync. There are no forest functional level requirements to just install the DirSync tool.

I second what Bob said it’s
B
D
B because you need the .net 3.5 as a prerequisite to install Azure Active Directory Sync Tool.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2684395
D:The forest functional level for server 2008 R2 in the question is 2000 and Office 365 require Server 2003 and above.
http://blogs.office.com/2014/04/15/synchronizing-your-directory-with-office-365-is-easy/
Forest functional level. You need to check the forest functional level of your directory, which must be set at Windows Server 2003 forest functional level or higher. If it is not, then you need to upgrade that before installing DirSync.

Why answers are not B and C? I find next:
Explanation: This is a tricky question because the forest functional level does need to be upgraded to perform adirectory synchronization which would make answer D correct. However, this question is asking about installingthe Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool (Dirsync). The requirements for the machine running Dirsync area member server running Windows Server 2008 or 2012 and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and Microsoft.NET Framework 4.0.Ref: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj151831.aspx#BKMK_ComputerRequirements

According to your explain ,the answer should be BC

The server is already Server 2008 R2, so why do you need to install Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition.
0
0
the correct answer is BD
It must run Windows Server as operating system
64-bit edition of Windows Server 2008 Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter edition with SP1 or later
◦ Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter edition with SP1 or later
◦ Windows Server 2012 Standard or Datacenter
◦ Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard or Datacenter
Windows 2008R2 already meet the requirement no need to install win2012

For a correct answer to the question must fulfill three conditions
DirSync Requirements:
• Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 and Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0
• A member server running 2008 or 2012
• Forest functional level of 2003
But for the installation tool does not need a separate server, according to
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18429.dirsync-directory-sync-tool-version-release-history.aspx
“Version 6567.0018
Released 11/22/2013
New Features
DirSync can be installed on a Domain Controller (must log-off / log-on AFTER installation and BEFORE configuration wizard)
Documentation on how to deploy can be found here ”
I agree with B&D.

It should be D and E. The forest function level needs to be raised…however Per:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj151831.aspx#BKMK_ComputerRequirements
.net framework is already included in Server 2008. So now you just need a machine connected to the domain at this point.

E is not an option as no details about workstation OS(win xp, win 7, Linux, wtc..)

B&D is correct: You need to check the forest functional level of your directory, which must be set at Windows Server 2003 forest functional level or higher. If it is not, then you need to upgrade that before installing DirSync, as described in this Microsoft KB article. (http://blogs.office.com/2014/04/15/synchronizing-your-directory-with-office-365-is-easy/)

I would go with B & D as well. Bolek is correct in that DirSync is supported to be installed on a domain controller, so no need to install a Windows 2012 Std server.
If installing DirSync on the 2008r2 domain controller with a functional domain level of 2000 then you just need to raise the forest functional level and install the .net 3.5 SP1 and .net 4.0 frameworks.

I don’t know. After reading the question it states “You need to prepare to install the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool.” It doesn’t state you actually need to perform a sync, but rather what two actions should you perform to prepare for the installation of the Azure Active Directory Sync tool.
In that case you would need a Window 2008 or above server joined to the domain with the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and .NET Framework 4.5.1 installation.
That rules out the following:
A. Upgrade the domain controller to Windows Server 2012 (No need to upgrade the domain controller)
D. Raise the forest functional level to Windows Server 2008 R2. (2003 or above is required to perform the sync, but the question doesn’t state we need to perform one. Instead we just need to install DirSync.
E. Join a workstation to an Active Directory Domain. We need to install DirSync on an server, not a workstation.
B and C are correct. Would bet my left nut on it.

Forget all the other blah blah Blah
Requirements are
1. Member of Domain
2. Requirements for installing the version of WS.
I agree with Justin’s left nut.

Ah..why cant I edit my own stuff.
After reading http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2014/05/14/step-by-step-syncing-on-premise-ad-with-azure-active-directory.aspx
It states that Azure can be installed a domain controller with prerequisites being WS2008;R2 so that means that we do not need Ws2012. and to be honest installing the server would come before installing the 3.5 not the other way around.
so the answer is B for sure after which you need to raise the functional level to WS2008.
Final Answer B & D

D is for the DC, which is not for AD sync

Review requirements for the directory synchronization computer
This section describes the computer requirements for running the Directory Sync tool. The Directory Sync tool communicates with your domain controller servers. The default installation of the Directory Sync tool includes a version of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express SP1.
The directory synchronization computer must meet the following requirements:
It must run Windows Server as operating system. The following versions of the Windows Server operating system are supported:
64-bit edition of Windows Server 2008 Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter edition with SP1 or later
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter edition with SP1 or later
Windows Server 2012 Standard or Datacenter
Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard or Datacenter
It must be joined to Active Directory. The computer must be joined to the Active Directory forest that you plan to synchronize. For the rich co-existence scenario, this is a requirement because the DirSync server explicitly enumerates and reaches out to all domain controllers in the forest in order to set permissions for write-back. This is not the case if you do not have Hybrid Deployment enabled.
The computer also must be able to connect to all the other domain controllers for all the domains in your forest. A forest is one or more Active Directory domains that share the same class and attribute definitions, site and replication information, and forest-wide search capabilities.
It must run the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 If you are running Windows Server 2008, the .NET Framework will already be installed; if not, you can download it from the following locations:
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1
It must run Windows PowerShell: If you are running Windows Server 2003, you need to download Windows PowerShell. If you are running Windows Server 2008, you need to enable Windows PowerShell. For more information, see Install Windows PowerShell on the directory sync computer.
It must be located in an access-controlled environment. Access to the computer that is running the Directory Sync tool should be limited to those users who have access to your Active Directory domain controllers and other sensitive network components. Only users or administrators that have the necessary permissions to make changes to domain controllers in Active Directory should have access to this computer.
ans B & E

Why E? In your explanation you clearly mention the requirement of Windows SERVER. Windows Server is not considered to be running on workstations.
I’m going for B and D. The reason for D is the following phrase in the question:
“The organization must be able to synchronize user attributes from the on-premises Active Directory Domain Services environment to Office 365.”
Clearly, with the current level, it’s not gonna happen. True, you don’t need to do this to install the sync tool but you do need to do raise it to be able to sync anything at all and the “ability” to sync is in my opinion part of the question.
The question is not “Which 2 actions should you perform to prepare the installation of the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool?”.
No, there are 2 requirements:
– the organization needs to be able to sync to O365.
– you need to prepare the installation of the AAD Sync tool.
And the actual question is:
“Which 2 actions should you perform?”
=> B and D

I agree with Gary….
Forest functional level. You need to check the forest functional level of your directory, which must be set at Windows Server 2003 forest functional level or higher. If it is not, then you need to upgrade that before installing DirSync.
Is correct: B,D

B -> Install net 3.5 for install DIRSYNC
