As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. Your network contains an on-premises Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The forest contains the following domains:
Contoso.com
East.contoso.com
An Azure AD Connect server is deployed to contoso.com. Azure AD Connect syncs to an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant.
You deploy a new domain named west.contoso.com to the forest.
You need to ensure that west.contoso.com syncs to the Azure AD tenant.
Solution: You install a new Azure AD Connect server in west.contoso.com and set AD Connect to staging mode.
Does this meet the goal?
Answer(s): B
Explanation:
When Azure AD Connect is set to staging mode, this action makes the server active for import and synchronization, but it does not run any exports. A server in staging mode is not running password sync or password writeback, even if you selected these features during installation.
