You need to ensure that site administrators can delegate access based on the BranchOffice property.

You configure a SharePoint server 2010 SP1.
The farm contains a single search service application that has two index servers.
The search index contains 3 million documents that reside on the SharePoint farm and 2 million documents that reside on a network file server named fileserver1.
You need to ensure that users throughout the farm can specify that results for an individual search query should include content only from a network file that has the \\fileserver1\documents UNC path.
What should you do?

• H. Add a new index partition and distribute the existing index across the two index servers.
