    What of the following is NOT an example of an Active Directory class?

    • User

    • First name

    • Computer

    • Group

    Correct Answer
    A. First name
    Explanation
    The first name is not an example of an Active Directory class because it is a property or attribute of a user object within the Active Directory, rather than being a separate class itself. Active Directory classes typically represent different types of objects or entities within the directory, such as users, groups, or computers.

    Explanation
    Active Directory is a directory service used in Windows operating systems to store and organize information about network resources. In this context, an attribute refers to a single granular piece of information that is stored within Active Directory.

    You need to provide a solution for deploying Microsoft Office. How can this be done?

    • Use a GPO to deploy software

    • Download it

    • Use a pendrive

    • Use the cloud

    Correct Answer
    A. Use a GPO to deploy software
    Explanation
    Using a Group Policy Object (GPO) to deploy software is a common and efficient method for deploying Microsoft Office. GPO allows administrators to centrally manage and distribute software installations across multiple computers or users in an Active Directory domain. By configuring the GPO settings, the software can be automatically installed on the targeted computers without the need for manual intervention. This method ensures consistency and ease of deployment, making it a preferred choice for deploying Microsoft Office in an enterprise environment.

    • Dx

    • Mx

    • Criminal

    Correct Answer
    A. Mx

    The DNS record type used for mail is the MX (Mail Exchanger) record. This record specifies the mail server responsible for accepting incoming email messages on behalf of a domain. It helps in routing emails to the correct mail server for delivery.

    You want to ensure that only the GPOs set at the OU level affect the Group Policy settings for objects within the OU. Which option can they use to do this?

    • Block all

    • Block policy inheritence option

    • Block work

    • Unblock GPO

    Correct Answer
    A. Block policy inheritence option
    Explanation
    The "block policy inheritance option" can be used to ensure that only the GPOs set at the OU level affect the Group Policy settings for objects within the OU. This option allows administrators to prevent any GPOs from higher-level OUs from being applied to the objects within the specific OU. By blocking policy inheritance, the administrators can have more control over the Group Policy settings and ensure that only the desired GPOs are applied to the objects within the OU.

    You need to remove the DNS Resolver cache, which of the following options would you use with IPCONFIG command?

    • /flushdns

    • /cleardns

    • /dnscache

    • /forcedns

    Correct Answer
    A. /flushdns
    Explanation
    The correct option to remove the DNS Resolver cache using the IPCONFIG command is "/flushdns". This command is used to clear the DNS cache on a Windows computer. It refreshes the information stored in the cache and forces the computer to retrieve the latest DNS records from the DNS server. This can be useful in troubleshooting DNS-related issues or when changes have been made to DNS settings.

This allows for centralized management and control of security settings and permissions across the network.

    What type of domain controller can you install if you are worried about physical security?

    • Active Directory Domain

    • ACDC

    • Read Only DC

    • Secure DC

    Correct Answer
    A. Read Only DC
    Explanation
    A Read Only DC (RODC) is a type of domain controller that can be installed if physical security is a concern. RODCs are designed to be deployed in locations where there is a higher risk of physical security breaches, such as branch offices or remote locations. Unlike a traditional domain controller, an RODC does not store a full copy of the Active Directory database. Instead, it stores a read-only copy, which means that any changes made to the database must be replicated from a writeable domain controller. This helps to protect against unauthorized changes or data theft in case the RODC is compromised.

    Which command allows you to install Active Directory?

    • Ad.exe

    • Dcupgrade

    • Dcpromo

    • Dcelevate

    Correct Answer
    A. Dcpromo
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "dcpromo". This command is used to promote a server to a domain controller and install Active Directory. It allows you to configure and manage the Active Directory services on a Windows Server.

    Which type of trust is automatically created between the domains in a domain tree?

    • Transitive 1 way trust

    • Non set

    • Transitive 2 way trust

    • Mutual trust

    Correct Answer
    A. Transitive 2 way trust
    Explanation
    In a domain tree, a transitive 2 way trust is automatically created between the domains. This means that trust is established between all domains within the domain tree, allowing users in one domain to access resources in another domain, and vice versa. The trust is transitive, meaning that if Domain A trusts Domain B, and Domain B trusts Domain C, then Domain A also trusts Domain C. Additionally, the trust is two-way, allowing authentication and access to flow in both directions between the domains.

    • Google it

    Correct Answer
    A. Change the functional level to 2008 mode
    Explanation
    To create a Universal group, the functional level of the domain needs to be set to at least Windows Server 2008. By changing the functional level to 2008 mode, the option to create a Universal group will no longer be grayed out, allowing the creation of Universal groups.
