    • A.

      Administrative

    • B.

      Guest

    • C.

      Print operator

    Correct Answer
    A. Administrative
    Explanation
    To administer a remote computer using the MMC (Microsoft Management Console), administrative credentials are required. Administrative credentials provide the necessary privileges and permissions to perform administrative tasks on the remote computer. These credentials give the user the authority to make changes, configure settings, and manage various aspects of the remote computer's operations. Without administrative credentials, the user would not have the necessary access and permissions to perform these administrative tasks.

    • E.

      4

    Correct Answer
    D. 3
    Explanation
    Three; two remote connections and one at the console (but that’s not fair, is it?). Technically,then, two is the limit because the application-sharing components are not installed with Terminal Server configured in Remote Desktop mode for remote administration.

    Rate this question:

  • 9.

    Explanation
    Port 3389 must be open in order to establish a Remote Assistance connection. This port is used by the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to allow communication between the two devices. By opening this port, the firewall allows incoming RDP traffic, which is necessary for Remote Assistance to function properly.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Which of the following properties and administrative tasks can be configured orperformed simultaneously on more than one user object?

    • A.

      Last Name

    • B.

      User Logon Name

    • C.

      Disable Account

    • D.

      Enable Account

    • E.

      Reset Password

    Correct Answer(s)
    C. Disable Account
    D. Enable Account
    Explanation
    The properties and administrative tasks that can be configured or performed simultaneously on more than one user object are disabling and enabling user accounts. This means that multiple user accounts can be disabled or enabled at the same time, making it more efficient for administrators to manage user access and permissions.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    What option will be most useful to generate 100 new user objects, each of whichhave identical profile path, home folder path, Title, Web Page, Company, Department,and Manager settings?

    • A.

      DSADD

    • B.

      DSGET

    • C.

      DSMOD

    • D.

      DSRM

    • E.

      DSQUERY

    Correct Answer
    A. DSADD
    Explanation
    DSADD will be the most useful option. You can enter one command line that includes all the parameters. By leaving the UserDN parameter empty, you can enter the users’ distinguished
    names one at a time in the command console. A user object template does not allow you to configure
    options including Title, Telephone Number and Web Page. Generating a comma-delimited text file would be time-consuming, by comparison, and would be overkill, particularly when so many parameters are identical.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Which tool will allow you to identify accounts that have not been used for twomonths?

    • A.

      DSADD

    • B.

      DSGET

    • C.

      DSMOD

    • D.

      DSRM

    • E.

      DSQUERY

    Correct Answer
    E. DSQUERY
    Explanation
    DSQUERY is the correct answer because it is a command-line tool in Windows Server that allows you to query the Active Directory for various information, including identifying accounts that have not been used for a specified period of time. By using the appropriate parameters and filters with DSQUERY, you can easily retrieve a list of accounts that have not been used for two months.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    What variable can be used with the DSMOD and DSADD commands to createuser-specific home folders and profile folders?

    • A.

      %Username%

    • B.

      $Username$

    • C.

      CN=Username

    • D.

    Correct Answer
    B. $Username$
    Explanation
    The correct answer is $Username$. This variable can be used with the DSMOD and DSADD commands to create user-specific home folders and profile folders. The dollar sign before the variable indicates that it is a special variable that will be replaced with the actual username when the command is executed. This allows for the creation of unique folders for each user based on their username.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Which tools allow you to output the telephone numbers for all users in an OU?

    • A.

      DSADD

      DSGET

    • C.

      DSMOD

    • D.

      DSRM

    • E.

      DSQUERY

    Correct Answer
    E. DSQUERY
    Explanation
    DSQUERY will produce a list of user objects within an OU and can pipe that list to DSGET, which in turn can output particular properties, such as phone numbers.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    How do you make a profile mandatory?

    • A.

      Configure the permissions on the folder’s Security property sheet to deny write permission.

    • B.

      Configure the permissions on the folders Sharing property sheet to allow only read permission.

    • C.

      Modify the attributes of the profile folder to specify the Read Only attribute

    • D.

      Rename Ntuser.dat to Ntuser.man.

    Correct Answer
    D. Rename Ntuser.dat to Ntuser.man.
    Explanation
    By renaming Ntuser.dat to Ntuser.man, the user profile is converted into a mandatory profile. This means that any changes made to the profile will not be saved when the user logs off. This can be useful in situations where a standardized profile needs to be enforced for all users, such as in a shared computer environment or for guest accounts.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    You enable the password complexity policy for your domain. Describe therequirements for passwords, and when those requirements will take effect.

    • A.

      The password must not be based on the user’s account name

    • B.

      Must contain at least six characters, with at least one character from three of the four categories: uppercase, lowercase, Arabic numerals, and nonalphanumeric characters

    • C.

      Requirements will take effect immediately for all new accounts

    • D.

      Existing accounts will be affected when they next change their password

    • E.

      All of the above

    Correct Answer
    E. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above" because enabling the password complexity policy for the domain means that the requirements for passwords will include not being based on the user's account name, having at least six characters, and containing at least one character from three of the four specified categories. These requirements will take effect immediately for all new accounts, and existing accounts will be affected when they next change their password.

      Account Logon Successes

    • B.

      Account Logon Failures

    • C.

      Application Successes

    • D.

      Application Failures

    Correct Answer
    B. Account Logon Failures
    Explanation
    The Audit Policy to audit Account Logon failures is the most effective policy to specify under
    these circumstances. Failed logons will generate events in the Security logs of all domain controllers.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    A user has forgotten his or her password and attempts to log on several times withan incorrect password. Eventually, the user receives a logon message indicatingthat the account is either disabled or locked out. The message suggests that theuser contact an administrator. What must you do?

    • A.

      Delete the user object and recreate it.

    • B.

      Rename the user object.

    • C.

      Enable the user object.

    • D.

      Unlock the user object.

    • E.

      Reset the password for the user object.

    Correct Answer(s)
    D. Unlock the user object.
    E. Reset the password for the user object.
    Explanation
    Although the logon message text on Windows 2000 and other
    previous operating system versions indicates that the account is disabled, the account is actually
    locked. Windows Server 2003 displays an accurate message that the account is, in fact,
    locked out. However, you can recognize the problem by examining what caused the message: a user forgot his or her password. You must unlock the account and reset the password.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    If you are using universal groups in your domain or forest, and you need to givepermission-based access to the members of the universal group, what configurationmust be true of the universal group?

      The global group has to be of the type distribution

    • B.

      The domain functional level must be Windows 2000 native or Windows Server 2003

    • C.

      The universal group must be of the type distribution

    • D.

      The global group has to be type security

    • E.

      The universal group must be of the type security

    Correct Answer(s)
    B. The domain functional level must be Windows 2000 native or Windows Server 2003
    E. The universal group must be of the type security
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that the domain functional level must be Windows 2000 native or Windows Server 2003, and the universal group must be of the type security. This is because in order to give permission-based access to the members of a universal group, the domain functional level needs to be at least Windows 2000 native or Windows Server 2003. Additionally, the universal group needs to be of the type security, as security groups are used to assign permissions and access rights.

    To achieve the goal of allowing the executive's laptop to join the domain and be configured by the group policies linked to the Desktops OU immediately, you need to create a computer object in the Desktops OU. Additionally, you should select the executive's user account for the property "The Following User Or Group Can Join This Computer To A Domain." This ensures that the laptop is added to the domain and receives the necessary group policies from the Desktops OU.

    Why is it a best practice to create a computer account in the domain prior to joininga machine to the domain?

    • A.

      If an account is not created in advance, one will be generated automatically when the computer joins the domain, and that account will be located in the default Computers container

    • B.

      Computer policies, which are typically linked to specific OUs, will not apply to the newly joined computer

    • C.

      Because most organizations do have specific OUs for computers, you are left with an extra step to remember: moving the computer object to the correct OU after joining the domain

    • D.

      By creating a computer object in advance, you can specify which groups (or users) are allowed to join a system to the domain with that account

    • E.

      All of the above

    Correct Answer
    E. All of the above
    Explanation
    It is a best practice to create a computer account in the domain prior to joining a machine to the domain because if an account is not created in advance, one will be generated automatically when the computer joins the domain, and that account will be located in the default Computers container. This means that computer policies, which are typically linked to specific OUs, will not apply to the newly joined computer. Additionally, most organizations have specific OUs for computers, so by not creating the computer object in advance, an extra step is required to move the computer object to the correct OU after joining the domain. By creating a computer object in advance, you can also specify which groups or users are allowed to join a system to the domain with that account.

    • A.

      The Shared Folders snap-in

    • B.

      Windows Explorer running on the local machine, connected to the remote server’s share or hidden drive share

    • C.

      Windows Explorer running on the remote machine in a Terminal Services or Remote Desktop session.

    • D.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. The Shared Folders snap-in
    C. Windows Explorer running on the remote machine in a Terminal Services or Remote Desktop session.
    D. The File Server Management console.
    Explanation
    Windows Explorer can be used only to administer a local
    share, so you would have to run a remote desktop session to the remote server, and run Windows Explorer in that session to manage that server’s shares. A more common, and a better, practice is to use the Shared Folders snap-in, which is included in the File Server Management console.

    • C.

      Rear and Write

    • D.

      Read and Execute

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Full Control
    Explanation
    When Julie is promoted and added to the Project Managers group, her effective permissions to the folder would be Full Control. This is because the Project Managers group has been given Allow Full Control permission to the folder. As Julie now belongs to this group, she inherits the same permissions as the group, which means she also has Full Control over the folder.

    Rate this question:

  • 38. 

    A folder is shared on a NTFS volume, with the default share permissions. TheProject Managers group is given Allow Full Control NTFS permission. Julie, whobelongs to the Project Managers group, calls to report problems creating files inthe folder. Why can’t Julie create files?

    • A.

      The default share permission in Windows Server 2003 is Everyone: List Folder Contents.

    • B.

      The default share permission in Windows Server 2003 is Everyone: Deny Access.

      All of the above

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    C. The default share permission in Windows Server 2003 is Everyone: Allow Read.
    Explanation
    The default share permission in Windows Server 2003 is Everyone: Allow Read. Share permissions define the maximum effective permissions for files and folders in the share. The share permissions restrict the NTFS full control permission. To correct the problem, you would need to modify the share permissions to allow, at a minimum, the Project Managers group Change permission.

    • D.

      Read & Execute

    • E.

      List Folder Contents

    Correct Answer
    D. Read & Execute
    Explanation
    The minimum NTFS permissions required to allow users to open documents and run programs stored in a shared folder is "Read & Execute". This permission allows users to view and open files, as well as execute programs and scripts within the folder. It does not grant the ability to modify or delete files, ensuring that the integrity of the shared folder is maintained.

    Bill complains that he is unable to access the department plan. You open the Security tab for the plan and you find that all permissions on the document are inherited from the plan’s parent folder. There is a Deny Read permission assigned to agroup to which Bill belongs. Which of the following methods would enable Bill toaccess the plan?

    • A.

      Modify the permissions on the parent folder by adding the permission Bill:Allow Full Control.

    • B.

      Modify the permissions on the parent folder by adding the permission Bill:Allow Read

    • C.

      Modify the permissions on the plan by adding the permission: Bill:Allow Read.

    • D.

      Modify the permissions on the plan by deselecting Allow Inheritable Permis sions, choosing Copy, and removing the Deny permission.

    • E.

      Remove Bill from the group that is assigned the Deny permission.

    Correct Answer(s)
    C. Modify the permissions on the plan by adding the permission: Bill:Allow Read.
    D. Modify the permissions on the plan by deselecting Allow Inheritable Permis sions, choosing Copy, and removing the Deny permission.
    E. Remove Bill from the group that is assigned the Deny permission.
    Explanation
    To enable Bill to access the plan, the permissions on the plan need to be modified. This can be done by adding the permission "Bill:Allow Read" to the plan. Additionally, the "Allow Inheritable Permissions" option should be deselected, and the Deny permission should be removed by choosing the "Copy" option. Another possible solution is to remove Bill from the group that has been assigned the Deny permission. These actions will override the inherited permissions from the parent folder and grant Bill access to the department plan.

    • D.

      All of the above

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    D. All of the above
    Explanation
    The discrepancy between the results of the Effective Permissions tool and the issue Bill is reporting could be explained by multiple factors. Firstly, there could be a permission entry assigned to a logon-related account, such as Interactive or Network, that is denying access. Additionally, if the user is not logged on as a Domain Admin, they may not be able to read all group memberships, which could affect the resulting permissions report. Lastly, it is important to note that the Effective Permissions tool is only an approximation of a user's access, so there may be other factors at play that are not accurately reflected in the tool's results.

    D. Success or failure audit
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the date of the event, the user that generated the event, and success or failure audit. These criteria are valid for a security log filter to identify specific file and folder access events. The date of the event allows for filtering events based on a specific time frame. The user that generated the event helps in identifying the individuals responsible for the access. Success or failure audit indicates whether the access attempt was successful or not. These criteria together provide a comprehensive filter for identifying specific file and folder access events.

    • C.

      Incremental

    • D.

      Copy

    Correct Answer
    C. Incremental
    Explanation
    The incremental backup type will complete the fastest. This is because an incremental backup only backs up the files that have changed since the last backup, whereas a normal backup backs up all selected files regardless of whether they have changed or not. Therefore, the incremental backup will have less data to process and transfer, resulting in a faster completion time.

    You are to back up a Windows Server 2003 file server every evening. You performa manual, normal backup. You will then schedule a backup job to run everyevening for the next two weeks. Which backup type will provide the simplestrecovery of lost data?

    • A.

      Normal

    • B.

      Differential

    • C.

      Incremental

    • D.

      Daily

    Correct Answer
    A. Normal
    Explanation
    Performing a manual normal backup is the best choice for the simplest recovery of lost data. A normal backup backs up all selected files and marks them as backed up. This means that when restoring data, only the latest normal backup needs to be restored, making the recovery process straightforward and efficient. Differential backups would require restoring both the latest normal backup and the latest differential backup, while incremental backups would require restoring the latest normal backup and all subsequent incremental backups. Daily backups would only backup files modified on that specific day, making the recovery process more complex.
