Understanding Multi-Tenancy Mode:

Multi-tenancy mode allows multiple independent sites or tenants to be managed from a single FortiClient EMS instance.

Evaluating Benefits:

Licenses can be shared among sites, making it cost-effective (B).

It provides granular access and segmentation, allowing for detailed control and separation between tenants (D).

Eliminating Incorrect Options:

Separate host servers managing each site (A) is not a feature of multi-tenancy mode.

The fabric connector's use of an IP address (C) is unrelated to multi-tenancy benefits.

FortiClient EMS multi-tenancy configuration and benefits documentation from the study guides.

Requirement:

The administrator needs to add an authentication server on FortiClient EMS in a different security zone that cannot allow a direct connection.

Solution Analysis:

The goal is to securely connect FortiClient EMS and the Active Directory server despite being in different security zones.

Evaluating Options:

Installing FortiClient EMS on the same VM as Active Directory (option B) is not practical due to security zone separation.

Configuring a slave FortiClient EMS on a virtual machine (option C) does not address the need for secure communication.

Configuring an Active Directory connector (option D) may not be sufficient without secure routing.

Conclusion:

Deploying a FortiGate device between FortiClient EMS and the Active Directory server ensures secure and controlled access between the two zones.

When FortiClient is installed on a Windows Server, the default behavior for real-time protection control is:

Real-time protection is disabled:By default, FortiClient does not enable real-time protection on server installations to avoid potential performance impacts and because servers typically have different security requirements compared to client endpoints.

Thus, real-time protection is disabled by default on Windows Server installations.
