Exam 70-412 topic 3 question 115 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's 70-412

Question #: 115
Topic #: 3

Your network contains one Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The forest contains two child domains and six domain controllers. The domain controllers are configured as shown in the following table.

You need to ensure that all Active Directory changes are replicated to all of the domain controllers in the forest within 30 minutes.
What should you use?

A. Set-ADSite
B. Set-ADReplicationSite
C. Set-ADDomain
D. Set-ADReplicationSiteLink
E. Set-ADGroup
F. Set-ADForest
G. Netdom

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
The Set-ADReplicationSite cmdlet is used to set the properties for an Active Directory site that is being used for replication. Sites are used in Active Directory to either enable clients to discover network resources (published shares, domain controllers) close to the physical location of a client computer or to reduce network traffic over wide area network (WAN) links. Sites can also be used to optimize replication between domain controllers.
The parameter -ReplicationSchedule<ActiveDirectorySchedule> specifies the default replication schedule for connections within this site (intra-site replication).
Incorrect answers:
Not A: Set-ADSite is a Microsoft Exchange 2013 command. Use the Set-AdSite cmdlet to configure the Exchange settings of Active Directory sites.
Not D: The Set-ADReplicationSiteLink cmdlet sets properties on an Active Directory site link. A site link connects two or more sites. Replication site links reflect the administrative policy for how sites interconnect and the methods used to transfer replication traffic. You must connect sites with site links so that domain controllers at each site can replicate Active Directory changes.
Not F: The Set-ADForest cmdlet modifies the properties of an Active Directory forest. Replication cannot be configured with this command.

I think answer is Set-ADReplicationSiteLink - Set-ADReplicationsite -ReplicationSchedule specifies the default replication schedule for connections within the site but in the forest there are 3 sites (Main Office, Europe Office and Asia Office). So to be sure that also the DC’s within the different sites are replicating with each other within 30 minutes you must check the SiteLink replication: Set-ADReplicationSiteLink -ReplicationFrequencyInMinutes

Clarification, if your INTRA-site replication exceeds the specified 30 minutes, the INTER-site replication won't be uniform forest-wide.

Set-ADReplicationSite actually has a parameter " -ReplicationSchedule " which configures the DEFAULT schedule for AD replication for all links in the site. Since the question is asking for a uniform 30 minutes max on replication forest-wide, I would think that using the answer marked as correct and leaving all the site links at the default schedule would be a faster way of setting a schedule that doesn't vary throughout the forest. However, if you needed to vary the schedule on a specific site-site link, then "Set-ADReplicationSiteLink" would be more appropriate. It's tricky, but the context is calling for the same schedule throughout the forest. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/activedirectory/set-adreplicationsite?view=winserver2012-ps
