Which of the following methods can you use to reduce the amount of RIP traffic passing over the T-1 link to the home office?
- A.
  
  Set the Outgoing Packet Protocol setting to RIP Version 1 Broadcast
- B.
  
  Increase the Periodic Announcement Interval setting
- C.
  
  Set the Incoming Packet Protocol setting to RIP Version 1 Only
- D.
  
  Decrease the time Before Route Is Removed setting
Correct Answer
B. Increase the Periodic Announcement Interval setting

Explanation
Increasing the Periodic Announcement Interval setting will reduce the amount of RIP traffic passing over the T-1 link to the home office. This setting determines how often the router sends updates to its neighboring routers. By increasing the interval, the router will send updates less frequently, resulting in less RIP traffic being transmitted over the link.

In System Monitor, which performance object would you select to monitor the number of TCP/IP error messages transmitted and received by a computer?
- A.
  
  Network Interface
- B.
  
  TCPv4
- C.
  
  ICMP
- D.
  
  UDPv4
Correct Answer
C. ICMP

Explanation
ICMP stands for Internet Control Message Protocol. It is a network protocol used by network devices to send error messages and operational information about network conditions. In System Monitor, selecting the ICMP performance object would allow monitoring of the number of TCP/IP error messages transmitted and received by a computer. This is because ICMP is responsible for transmitting and receiving error messages related to TCP/IP communication. The other options, such as Network Interface, TCPv4, and UDPv4, are not specifically designed to monitor TCP/IP error messages.

Which of the following are correct reasons that it is more critical to monitor DNS performance than DHCP or WINS performance?
- A.
  
  DNS servers might be accessible from the Internet, and DHCP and WINS servers are not.
- B.
  
  DNS servers are more likely to malfunction than DHCP or WINS servers.
- C.
  
  DNS server failures can have an immediate effect on network client performance.
- D.
  
  DNS servers have less effective monitoring tools.
Correct Answer(s)
A. DNS servers might be accessible from the Internet, and DHCP and WINS servers are not.
C. DNS server failures can have an immediate effect on network client performance.

Explanation
DNS servers might be accessible from the Internet, and DHCP and WINS servers are not. This is a correct reason because DNS servers are often exposed to the public internet, making them more vulnerable to attacks or unauthorized access. On the other hand, DHCP and WINS servers are typically only accessible within the local network, reducing the potential risks.

DNS server failures can have an immediate effect on network client performance. This is also a correct reason because DNS is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses, allowing clients to access websites and services. If the DNS server malfunctions or becomes unavailable, clients will not be able to access the desired resources, leading to a significant impact on network performance.

Which of the following backup job types does not reset the archive bits on the files that it copies to the backup medium?
- A.
  
  Full
- B.
  
  Incremental
- C.
  
  Differential
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Differential

Explanation
A differential backup job type does not reset the archive bits on the files that it copies to the backup medium. This means that only the files that have been modified since the last full backup will be included in the differential backup, without affecting the archive bit status of the files. This allows for a more efficient backup process, as it only backs up the changes made since the last full backup.

Which of the following failover policies provides the best compensation for multiple node failures?
- A.
  
  Failover pairs
- B.
  
  Hot-standby servers
- C.
  
  N+I
- D.
  
  Failover ring
Correct Answer
C. N+I

Explanation
N+I failover policy provides the best compensation for multiple node failures. In this policy, there are N active nodes and I spare nodes, where N is the number of active nodes required to handle the workload and I is the number of spare nodes available for failover. If any active node fails, one of the spare nodes takes over its workload, ensuring that the system remains operational even with multiple node failures. This policy offers high availability and redundancy, making it the most effective in compensating for multiple node failures.

You want to be able to use Network Load Balancing Manager, running on one of the Web servers, to configure all the servers in the NLB cluster. Other than this, very little noncluster communication between the Web servers is required. Which of the following communication models should you use to make this possible with the greatest economy? Explain your answer.
- A.
  
  Single network interface adapter in unicast mode
- B.
  
  Single network interface adapter in multicast mode
- C.
  
  Multiple network interface adapters in unicast mode
- D.
  
  Multiple network interface adapters in multicast mode
Correct Answer
B. Single network interface adapter in multicast mode

Explanation
Using a single network interface adapter in multicast mode would be the most economical option for this scenario. Multicast mode allows multiple servers to receive the same network traffic simultaneously, reducing the need for additional network interface adapters. This mode also enables Network Load Balancing Manager to configure all the servers in the NLB cluster from one of the web servers, simplifying the management process.

Which of the following failover policies will ensure that the entire database is constantly available without any server running multiple partitions, even if two servers fail? Explain your answer.
- A.
  
  Failover pairs. Split the database into two partitions and assign each one to an active server. Then, configure each of the active servers to fail over to one of the two remaining servers.
- B.
  
  Hot-standby server. Split the database into three partitions and assign each one to an active server. Then, configure each of the active servers to fail over to the one remaining server.
- C.
  
  N+I. Split the database into two partitions and assign each one to an active server. Then, configure each of the active servers to fail over to either one of the two remaining servers.
- D.
  
  Failover ring. Split the database into four partitions and assign each one to an active server. Then, configure each of the four servers to failover to the next server.
Correct Answer
C. N+I. Split the database into two partitions and assign each one to an active server. Then, configure each of the active servers to fail over to either one of the two remaining servers.

Explanation
The N+I failover policy ensures that the entire database is constantly available without any server running multiple partitions, even if two servers fail. By splitting the database into two partitions and assigning each one to an active server, the workload is distributed. If one server fails, the active server can fail over to the remaining server, ensuring continuous availability. This policy allows for redundancy and load balancing, making it an effective choice for maintaining database availability.

- D.
  
  Enable the Minimum Password Age policy and set its value to 3.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Change the Reset Account Logon Counter After value to 60 minutes.
B. Enable the Password Must Meet Complexity Requirements policy.

Explanation
Changing the "Reset Account Logon Counter After" value to 60 minutes would make it harder for intruders to penetrate user passwords by trial and error because it would increase the time required between consecutive login attempts, reducing the number of attempts an intruder can make within a given time frame. Enabling the "Password Must Meet Complexity Requirements" policy would also make it harder for intruders to penetrate user passwords by trial and error because it would require users to create passwords that meet certain complexity criteria, making them more difficult to guess or crack.

- B.
  
  Enable the Minimum Password Age policy and set its value to 28.
- C.
  
  Change the Enforce Password History value to 10.
- D.
  
  Change the Reset Account Logon Counter After value to 60.
Correct Answer(s)
B. Enable the Minimum Password Age policy and set its value to 28.
C. Change the Enforce Password History value to 10.

Explanation
Enabling the Minimum Password Age policy and setting its value to 28 would prevent users from immediately changing their passwords back again. This policy would require users to wait for a minimum period of 28 days before they can change their passwords again. Changing the Enforce Password History value to 10 would also prevent this practice by keeping track of the previous 10 passwords used by each user and not allowing them to reuse any of those passwords.

- E.
  
  Apply a GPO to an organizational unit
Correct Answer(s)
A. Create a new organizational unit
B. Move the computer objects representing the member servers
C. Create a new GPO
E. Apply a GPO to an organizational unit

Explanation
To accomplish the objective of deploying a baseline security configuration for the member servers using group policies, the following tasks must be performed:

1. Create a new organizational unit: This is necessary to organize and manage the member servers separately from other objects in the Active Directory.

2. Move the computer objects representing the member servers: By moving the computer objects to the newly created organizational unit, you can ensure that the group policies are applied specifically to these servers.

3. Create a new GPO: A new Group Policy Object (GPO) needs to be created to define the baseline security configuration settings for the member servers.

4. Apply a GPO to an organizational unit: The newly created GPO should be linked and applied to the organizational unit containing the member servers, so that the defined security configuration gets applied to those servers only.

Modifying the domain GPO is not required in this scenario as the objective is to apply the baseline security configuration to the member servers only.

Rate this question:
25.

With which of the following Active Directory object types can you associate a GPO? (Choose all correct answers.)
- A.

When creating a GPO for an organizational unit called Servers, you define a particular audit policy and configure it to audit successes only. When creating a GPO for an organizational unit called Infrastructure, which is a child of the Servers organizational unit, you configure the same policy to audit failures only. What is the effective value of that policy for a computer object in the Infrastructure container?
- A.
  
  Undefined
- B.
  
  Success only
- C.
  
  Failure only
- D.
  
  Success and Failure
Correct Answer
C. Failure only

Explanation
The effective value of the audit policy for a computer object in the Infrastructure container is "Failure only". This is because the policy is configured to audit failures only in the Infrastructure organizational unit, which is a child of the Servers organizational unit. The configuration in the child organizational unit overrides the configuration in the parent organizational unit, resulting in the policy being set to audit failures only for the computer object in the Infrastructure container.

  The Microsoft Network Client: Digitally Sign Communications (Always) security option is enabled on the user’s workstation.
Correct Answer
D. The Microsoft Network Client: Digitally Sign Communications (Always) security option is enabled on the user’s workstation.

Explanation
The user is unable to access the print queue due to the "Unable to connect. Access denied." error message. However, when the person logging in from their workstation with the user's account, they are able to access the print queue normally. This suggests that the issue is specific to the user's workstation. The correct answer states that the "Microsoft Network Client: Digitally Sign Communications (Always)" security option is enabled on the user's workstation. This security option could be causing the access denied error when trying to connect to the print server.

In an effort to cooperate with your company’s new emphasis on security, you have used GPOs to enable all the available audit policies on the computers that are running Windows Server 2003. A few days after making these changes, you unlock the data center to find that your domain controller has shut down during the night. Which of the following modifications might prevent this from happening again? (Choose all correct answers.)
- A.
  
  Revoke the Administrators group’s Debug Programs user right.
- B.
  
  Increase the default value specified in the Maximum Security Log Size policy.
- C.
  
  Disable the Shutdown: Allow System to Be Shut Down Without Having To Log On security option.
- D.
  
  Disable the Audit: Shut Down System Immediately If Unable To Log Security audits security option.
Correct Answer(s)
B. Increase the default value specified in the Maximum Security Log Size policy.
D. Disable the Audit: Shut Down System Immediately If Unable To Log Security audits security option.

Explanation
Increasing the default value specified in the Maximum Security Log Size policy would prevent the domain controller from shutting down because it would allow for more events to be logged before the log becomes full. Disabling the Audit: Shut Down System Immediately If Unable To Log Security audits security option would also prevent the shutdown because it would not force the system to shut down if it is unable to log security audits.

You are the new administrator for an Active Directory network, and while it is clear that someone has changed the security configuration of the network’s domain controllers, your predecessor left no records of the exact changes he made. Which of the following security templates should you apply to the domain controllers to restore their default security settings, and then implement the highest possible level of security?
- A.
  
  Compatws.inf and then Securedc.inf
- B.
  
  Securedc.inf and then Hisecdc.inf
- C.
  
  Hisecdc.inf and then Setup Security.inf
- D.
  
  DC Security.inf and then Hisecdc.inf
- E.
  
  Setup Security.inf and then Securedc.inf
Correct Answer
D. DC Security.inf and then Hisecdc.inf

Explanation
To restore the default security settings of the domain controllers and implement the highest possible level of security, the administrator should apply the "DC Security.inf" template first, followed by the "Hisecdc.inf" template. The "DC Security.inf" template will restore the default security settings, and then the "Hisecdc.inf" template will further enhance the security by implementing the highest possible level of security configurations.

After receiving the security templates from the consultant, you examine one of them by creating a new database in the Security Configuration And Analysis snapin on one of your Web servers, importing the new security template into the database, and performing an analysis. While examining the results of the analysis, you notice that there are quite a few discrepancies between the security settings you have configured on the computer and the settings in the template. You decide that you want to use a combination of the settings in the template and the settings you have already configured on the computer. Which of the following procedures should you use to create a composite security configuration and implement it on all your Web servers?
- A.
  
  In the new database you created, modify the values of the policies corresponding to the template settings you want to use. Then export the database to a new template and apply it to the Web servers’ organizational unit object.

- C.
  
  Export the database to a new template without making any changes and apply it to the Web servers’ organizational unit object.
- D.
  
  Use the Secedit.exe program to apply only the individual policy settings from the template you want to use on the Web servers.
Correct Answer
B. In the new database you created, modify the values of the policies corresponding to the current computer settings you want to use. Then export the database to a new template and apply it to the Web servers’ organizational unit object.

Explanation
To create a composite security configuration and implement it on all web servers, you should modify the values of the policies corresponding to the current computer settings you want to use in the new database you created. After modifying the values, export the database to a new template and apply it to the Web servers' organizational unit object. This will combine the settings from the template with the settings already configured on the computer, allowing you to create a composite security configuration for all the web servers.

Which of the following tools can you use to compare the templates supplied by the consultant with the security configurations you have already created on your servers? (Choose all answers that are correct.)
- A.
  
  The Security Templates snap-in
- B.
  
  Secedit.exe
- C.
  
  The Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in
- D.
  
  The Group Policy Object Editor console
Correct Answer(s)
B. Secedit.exe
C. The Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in

Explanation
Secedit.exe and The Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in are both tools that can be used to compare the templates supplied by the consultant with the security configurations already created on the servers. These tools allow for analysis and configuration of security settings, making them suitable for this task. The Security Templates snap-in and The Group Policy Object Editor console are not specifically designed for this purpose and may not provide the same level of functionality and accuracy in comparing security configurations.

To deploy the security templates, you begin by creating an organizational unit object for each server role in your Active Directory tree. Which of the following procedures can you use to apply the security templates to the organizational units?
- A.
  
  Use the Security Templates snap-in to create Group Policy Objects for each organizational unit using the supplied templates.
- B.
  
  Apply the templates to the correct organizational units using the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in.
- C.
  
  Use Secedit.exe to apply the security templates to the appropriate Group Policy Objects.
- D.
  
  Create a Group Policy Object for each organizational unit and apply the appropriate template to it using the Group Policy Object Editor console.
Correct Answer
D. Create a Group Policy Object for each organizational unit and apply the appropriate template to it using the Group Policy Object Editor console.

Explanation
The correct answer is to create a Group Policy Object for each organizational unit and apply the appropriate template to it using the Group Policy Object Editor console. This is the correct procedure to apply security templates to the organizational units. The Security Templates snap-in is used to create the templates, but they are applied using Group Policy Objects. The Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in is used to analyze the security settings, not to apply the templates. Secedit.exe is a command-line tool that can be used to apply security settings, but it is not the recommended method for applying templates in this scenario.

Which of the following pieces of information is not included as part of a digital certificate?
- A.
  
  Validity period
- B.
  
  Private key
- C.
  
  Signature algorithm identifier
- D.
  
  Public key
Correct Answer
B. Private key

Explanation
A digital certificate is a digital document that verifies the authenticity and identity of the sender. It includes various pieces of information such as the validity period, signature algorithm identifier, and public key. However, the private key is not included in a digital certificate. The private key is kept confidential by the certificate holder and is used for decrypting data that has been encrypted with the corresponding public key. Including the private key in the certificate would compromise the security of the encryption system.

Which of the following types of certificates can be issued only by an enterprise certification authority?
- A.
  
  IPSec
- B.
  
  Smart card logon
- C.
  
  Software code signing
- D.
  
  Wireless network authentication
Correct Answer
B. Smart card logon

Explanation
Smart card logon certificates can only be issued by an enterprise certification authority. This type of certificate is used for authentication purposes and allows users to securely log in to a computer or network using a smart card. It provides an additional layer of security by requiring the physical presence of the smart card, making it difficult for unauthorized individuals to access sensitive information.

Which of the following modifications to a certificate configuration does not increase the burden on the CA’s processor?
- A.
  
  Increasing the key length
- B.
  
  Increasing the certificate’s lifetime
- C.
  
  Issuing new keys with each certificate renewal
- D.
  
  Changing the certificate type
Correct Answer
D. Changing the certificate type

Explanation
Changing the certificate type does not increase the burden on the CA's processor because it does not involve any additional computational operations or complex calculations. Changing the certificate type simply involves modifying the format or structure of the certificate, which can be done without significant impact on the CA's processor. In contrast, increasing the key length, increasing the certificate's lifetime, and issuing new keys with each certificate renewal all require additional processing power and resources from the CA.

Where does a root CA obtain its own certificate?
- A.
  
  From a third-party certification authority
- B.
  
  From a subordinate CA
- C.
  
  From another root CA
- D.
  
  From itself
Correct Answer
D. From itself

Explanation
A root CA obtains its own certificate from itself because it is the highest level of authority in a certificate hierarchy. Root CAs are responsible for issuing and signing certificates for subordinate CAs and other entities in the certificate chain. Since they are the topmost authority, they generate their own certificate to establish trust and authenticity within the certificate infrastructure. This self-signed certificate serves as the foundation for issuing and validating certificates throughout the system.

Which of the following tools does an administrator use to manually issue certificates to clients of a stand-alone CA?
- A.
  
  The Certificates snap-in
- B.
  
  The Certification Authority console
- C.
  
  The Web Enrollment Support interface
- D.
  
  The Certificate Templates snap-in
Correct Answer
B. The Certification Authority console

Explanation
The Certification Authority console is used by an administrator to manually issue certificates to clients of a stand-alone CA. This console provides a user interface for managing the CA and performing tasks such as issuing, revoking, and renewing certificates. It allows the administrator to manually generate and issue certificates to clients, ensuring that the appropriate security measures are in place. The other options mentioned, such as the Certificates snap-in, the Web Enrollment Support interface, and the Certificate Templates snap-in, are not used for manually issuing certificates in this scenario.

Which of the following must a user have to receive certificates from an enterprise CA using auto-enrollment? (Choose all correct answers.)
- A.
  
  Permission to use certificate templates
- B.
  
  Membership in an organizational unit to which administrators have applied a Group Policy Object
- C.
  
  Access to Active Directory
- D.
  
  Access to the Certificates snap-in
Correct Answer(s)
A. Permission to use certificate templates
C. Access to Active Directory

Explanation
To receive certificates from an enterprise CA using auto-enrollment, a user must have permission to use certificate templates. This is necessary in order to request and receive the appropriate certificate. Additionally, the user must have access to Active Directory, as this is where the certificate information is stored and managed. Access to the Certificates snap-in is not necessary for auto-enrollment, as the process is automated and does not require manual intervention. Membership in an organizational unit to which administrators have applied a Group Policy Object may be beneficial, but it is not a requirement for auto-enrollment.

After the initial deployment of the PKI, which of the CAs can safely be taken offline? (Choose all correct answers.)
- A.
  
  The root CA
- B.
  
  The intermediate CAs
- C.
  
  One of the issuing CAs at each office with an intermediate CA
- D.
  
  All the issuing CAs
Correct Answer(s)
A. The root CA
B. The intermediate CAs

Explanation
The root CA and the intermediate CAs can safely be taken offline after the initial deployment of the PKI. This is because the root CA is responsible for issuing and signing the certificates for the intermediate CAs, and the intermediate CAs are responsible for issuing and signing the certificates for the issuing CAs. Once the certificates are issued and signed, they can be used by the issuing CAs to issue certificates to end entities. Therefore, the root CA and intermediate CAs can be taken offline without affecting the ability of the issuing CAs to issue certificates.
