Each of these domains contains five domain controllers each. The following exhibit illustrates the company's network structure: Exhibit: The us. EliteCertify.com domain users often need access to the resources that are located on the west.testlab.com domain. Although the us. EliteCertify.com domain users are able to access resources on the west.testlab.com domain, they complain about very slow access. You thus receive instruction from the CIO to address the problem. You now need to find a way to speed up the access for the us. EliteCertify.com users in the west.testlab.com domain. What should you do?

A. A realm trust from the west.testlab.com domain to the us. EliteCertify.com domain should be created.
B. A realm trust from the us. EliteCertify.com domain to the west.testlab.com domain should be created.
C. An external trust from the west.testlab.com domain to the us. EliteCertify.com domain should be created.
D. An external trust from the us. EliteCertify.com domain to the west.testlab.com domain should be created.
E. A shortcut trust from the west.testlab.com domain to the us. EliteCertify.com domain should be created.

Answer: E

Explanation: Shortcut trusts are also transitive trusts. Transitivity means that two or more separate trusts can be chained. Thus shortcut trusts between two distant domains will optimize the authentication process. A shortcut trust will result in a shortened path between the two domains involved. Furthermore shortcut trusts can either be one-way or two-way. In this scenario you should be creating a shortcut trust from west.testlab.com to us. EliteCertify.com. Incorrect answers: A. A realm trust is a trust between a non-Windows domain and a Windows Server 2003 domain to accommodate interoperability. This is not what is required in this case because the question does not mention any differences in functional levels of these domains. The assumption would thus be that they all have a Windows Server 2003 functional level. B. A realm trust is a trust between a non-Windows domain and a Windows Server 2003 domain to accommodate interoperability. This is not what is required in this case because the question does not mention any differences in functional levels of these domains. The assumption would thus be that they all have a Windows Server 2003 functional level. C. An external trust is a trust relationship between a domain in a forest and another domain outside the forest. In this scenario the domains are located in a single forest. D. An external trust is a trust relationship between a domain in a forest and another domain outside the forest. In this scenario the domains are located in a single forest. F. To configure a shortcut trust from us. EliteCertify.com domain to west.testlab.com will result in us. EliteCertify.com trusting west.testlab.com and the trust should be the other way around.
