Dell EMC dee-1421 practice test

Question 1

Case Study 1
A company has several independent business units that operate globally. The company has
consolidated its IT infrastructure services and operations. Common infrastructural services which
include IPAM, DNS, NTP, DHCP, and SMTP have been consolidated. The company has complimented
its infrastructure development by investing in Dell EMC Isilon clusters to host its users home and
group directories and for compliance archival purposes required by individual business units.
The IT operations are located in India and the United States with its primary data center facilities co-
located between New York and Texas. The company has a total of 60 AD forests:
1 main domain
55 domains have one-way trust relationships with the main domain
An additional 4 domains do not have any trust relationship with no future plans of establishing trust
relationships with the other domains.
Users of different AD domains use different FQDN to access their corresponding file services.
Additionally, the company does not plan to consolidate the AD domains and each domain uses a
different IP subnet. The users of the domains with no trust relationships have a compliance archival
requirement. The company wants to all data to be replicated between New York and Texas.
What is the minimum number of groupnets required?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 5
• D. 9

addition, the company wants the ability to perform a failover at an Access zone level. Which actions
should be performed to meet the requirements?
