14) The growth of the network has forced you to re-evaluate the replication schema you have in place for the public folders. What is the primary consideration for deciding that a remote site or server should hold a replica of the public folders?

  1. The traffic created to keep the remote sites public folder's contents current, is considerably higher than the traffic created by the remote site's clients accessing the local site's public folders.

The link to the Baltimore center is over a 256k line running a distance of 40 miles and the link to Washington DC is over a 128k line running a distance of 10 miles. Public folders are housed on exchange servers at the two downtown locations with a full T1 between them. How would you define the site affinity costs to make the most efficient use of network capability.
  1. The field office to Baltimore = 66, The field office to DC = 33.
  2. The field office to Baltimore = 50, The field office to DC = 50.
  3. The field office to Baltimore = 100, The field office to DC = 1.
