Actual exam question for ServiceNow's CIS-SP exam

Question #: 10
Topic #: 3

A System Administrator wants to setup their domain hierarchy in a new instance, which practice should they follow when creating the structure?

AA domain heirarchy 3-5 layers deep that allows for use of contains if needed and contains a defualt domain

BUsing Service Offerings in the domain hierarchy

CA domain heirarchy 3-5 layers deep that allows for use of contains if needed and does not contain a defualt domain

DHaving a totally flat domain heirarchy with no TOP domain

EAdding several domain layers below TOP before getting to the customer domain

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Best practices for setting up a domain hierarchy in ServiceNow recommend creating a structure that is not too shallow or too deep. A hierarchy that is 3-5 layers deep is considered optimal as it allows for the use of 'contains' relationships where necessary12. This structure should include a default domain, which typically serves as the catch-all layer for any data that does not belong to a more specific domain3. The default domain is often the TOP domain or a domain just below it. This setup facilitates better organization and management of data and processes across different domains within the instance45.

Adding layers below TOP can complicate things too much.

A flat domain hierarchy? That sounds risky!

Wait, why would you want a default domain? Seems unnecessary.

A domain hierarchy 3-5 layers deep is usually the way to go.

I definitely remember that a flat hierarchy isn't recommended, but I can't recall the specifics about the layers and their purposes.

I feel like option C sounds familiar, but I'm uncertain about whether a default domain is necessary or not.

I think we practiced a question similar to this, and I recall that having a default domain can be beneficial for organization.

I remember discussing the importance of having a domain hierarchy that's not too flat, but I'm not sure if 3-5 layers is the right depth.

Whew, domain hierarchies can be tricky. I'm going to take my time on this one and really think through the implications of each choice. I don't want to rush and end up selecting the wrong answer.

This is a good one. I like that it's testing our understanding of domain hierarchy best practices. I'm going to carefully consider each option and try to eliminate the ones that don't align with the stated requirements.

Okay, I think I've got a handle on this. Based on the requirements, I'm leaning towards option A. The 3-5 layer hierarchy with a default domain seems like the best fit. I'll double-check the other choices, but that's my initial strategy.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. The wording is a bit tricky, and I want to make sure I understand the implications of each answer choice. I may need to re-read the question a couple of times to really grasp what they're looking for.

This looks like a pretty straightforward domain hierarchy question. I'd start by reviewing the key requirements - 3-5 layers, use of "contains" if needed, and whether a default domain is required. That should help me narrow down the options.
