    What credentials are required for administration of a remote computer using theMMC?

    • Administrative

    • Guest

    • 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.

    A user, John, reports that his profile settings are not roaming properly when he logs onto various computers on the network. John can log on to any computer in the environmentsuccessfully, but his desktop wallpaper, shortcuts, and other preferential settingsare different on each computer.You check the profile path in the user account properties, and see that it is set to“D:\profiles\John”. You confirm that there is a folder named John in the profiles folderon the D: drive of Server01, which is the server that contains the user profiles for thenetwork. The shared folder hosted off the profiles folder is also called Profiles.Other users’ profiles are roaming correctly.What should you do to fix the problem?

    • Reset John’s password.

    • Set the home directory for John to D:\Profiles\%Username%.

    • Set the profile path for John to \\Server01\Profiles\%Username%.

    • Copy the profile that John wants to use to D:\Profiles\John on the profile server.

    Correct Answer
    A. Set the profile path for John to \\Server01\Profiles\%Username%.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to set the profile path for John to \\Server01\Profiles\%Username%. This will ensure that John's profile settings are properly roaming when he logs onto various computers on the network. By setting the profile path to the correct network location, John's desktop wallpaper, shortcuts, and other preferential settings will be consistent across all computers. Resetting John's password, setting the home directory, or copying the profile will not address the issue of his profile settings not roaming properly.

    An executive has returned from a business trip. Before the trip, she copied filesfrom a network folder to her hard drive. The folder is shared with other executives, who modified their files in the folder while she was away. When shereturned, she moved her copy of the files to the network share, thereby updatingher files with the changes she made while away, but also overwriting all the filesthat had been changed by other executives. The other executives are unhappythat their files have been replaced with the versions that were active when she leftfor her trip. Luckily, you performed a normal backup operation on the folder theprevious evening. What restore option should you choose?

    You install a scanner on a computer running Windows Server 2003. When you tryto restart your computer, the operating system will not start. Which of the followingwould be the least invasive recovery method to try first to restore the systemto operation?

    • Automated System Recovery

    • Recovery Console

    • Safe mode

    • Directory Services Restore mode

    Correct Answer
    A. Safe mode
    Explanation
    Safe mode would be the least invasive recovery method to try first to restore the system to operation. Safe mode starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and services, allowing you to troubleshoot and fix any issues that may be preventing the operating system from starting normally. It disables unnecessary startup programs and only loads essential drivers, making it easier to identify and resolve any conflicts or errors. By starting in safe mode, you can potentially fix the problem without causing further damage or data loss.

    You are concerned that the CPU on a print server that hosts 10 shared printers is notable to process spool files quickly enough. Which of the following ways will you beable to check whether your supposition is correct?

    • In the shared printer properties, check the spooler processor usage statistic.

    • Configure the Performance console to track the processor usage of the print spool (Process\%Processor Time\spoolsv) on the Print Server over the period of a normal working day and configure the display to show the maximum value

    • Configure the Performance console to track the processor usage of the print spool (Process\%Processor Time\spoolsv) on the print server over the period of a normal working day and configure the display to show the average value.

    • Configure the Performance console to the processor usage of the print spool (Process\% Processor Time\spoolsv) on his workstation over the period of a normal working day and configure the display to show the average value.

    Correct Answer
    A. Configure the Performance console to track the processor usage of the print spool (Process\%Processor Time\spoolsv) on the print server over the period of a normal working day and configure the display to show the average value.
    Explanation
    To determine if the CPU on the print server is able to process spool files quickly enough, it is necessary to monitor the processor usage of the print spool over a normal working day. By configuring the Performance console to track the processor usage of the print spool (Process\%Processor Time\spoolsv) on the print server and displaying the average value, it will provide an accurate measurement of the CPU's performance. This will help determine if the CPU is able to handle the workload efficiently or if there is a need for optimization or upgrades.

    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?

    • DSADD

    • DSGET

    • DSMOD

    • DSRM

    • 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.

    A user reports that he or she cannot access the network by dialing in. The user can logon successfully to a local computer in the office.You confirm that the default Remote Access policies are in place on the Routing andRemote Access Server computer. All modem devices pass diagnostic tests successfully.What is likely the cause of the problem?

    • The user does not have Terminal Server access enabled in his or her user account properties.

    • The user does not have dial-in permission enabled in his or her user account properties.

    • The user does not have a computer account in the domain for his or her remote computer

    • The user is not supplying the correct credentials when dialing in.

    Correct Answer
    A. The user does not have dial-in permission enabled in his or her user account properties.
    Explanation
    The user does not have dial-in permission enabled in his or her user account properties. This means that even though the user can log on successfully to a local computer in the office, they do not have the necessary permissions to access the network by dialing in. The other options - Terminal Server access, computer account in the domain, and supplying correct credentials - are not relevant to this specific issue of dial-in access.

    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 complete the fastest?

    • Normal

    • Differential

    • Incremental

    • Copy

    Correct Answer
    A. 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 configuring the permissions for a shared folder, Finance, on your file server,Server01. You need to configure permissions for the Accounting and AccountingExecgroups on the folder to achieve the following objectives:The Accounting group should have Read access to content in the Finance folder.The AccountingExec group should have Change control over content in the Financefolder.All users need Read access to a file named Summary.rpt in the Finance folder. Usersshould have access to no other files in the folder.How will you configure share and NTFS permissions on the Finance folder?

    • Share: Accounting–Read; AccountingExec–Read; Users–Read NTFS: Accounting–Read; AccountingExec–Modify; Users–Read

    • Share: Accounting–Full Control; AccountingExec–Full Control; Users–Read NTFS: Accounting–Read; AccountingExec–Modify; Users–List, Read access on Summary.rpt

    • Share: Accounting–Read; AccountingExec–Modify; Users–Read NTFS: Accounting–Read; AccountingExec–Full Control; Users–Read

    • Share: Accounting–Full Control; AccountingExec–Full Control; Users–Deny Read NTFS: Accounting–Read; AccountingExec–Read; Users–List, Read access on Summary.rpt

    Correct Answer
    A. Share: Accounting–Full Control; AccountingExec–Full Control; Users–Read NTFS: Accounting–Read; AccountingExec–Modify; Users–List, Read access on Summary.rpt
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to set the share permissions for the Accounting and AccountingExec groups to Full Control, and the share permissions for the Users group to Read. This allows the Accounting and AccountingExec groups to have full control over the folder, while the Users group only has Read access. The NTFS permissions should be set to allow the Accounting group Read access, the AccountingExec group Modify access, and the Users group should have List and Read access on the Summary.rpt file. This ensures that all users have Read access to the Summary.rpt file, but no other files in the folder.

    Foley works as the systems administrator for a law firm. There is a group of 20 legalsecretaries who provide administrative support to the lawyers. All the secretaries use asingle high-speed laser printer shared on a Windows Server 2003 system. The secretariesmust print large documents on a regular basis. Although the high-speed laserprinter is fast, it is running almost constantly, printing documents. Some of the secretarieshave found that when they submit a job to the high-speed laser printer, it cantake almost 20 minutes for other jobs in the queue to be processed before their ownjob is output. None of the secretaries want to scroll through a list of available printersto check which one has the fewest jobs before submitting their documents. Which ofthe following options should Foley consider to minimize the amount of time that printerstake to finish printing documents for all the secretaries?

    • Foley should order a second high-speed laser printer of the same make and model and institute a printer pool.

    • Foley should set different printer priorities for each legal secretary based on a list generated by the head of the group. The most important secretary should be set a priority of 1 and the least important a priority of 99.

    • Foley should set different printer priorities for each legal secretary based on a list generated by the head of the group. The most important secretary should be set a priority of 99 and the least important a priority of 1.

    • Foley should purchase three more high-speed laser printers and install them with their own individual printer shares on the print server. Secretaries can select the printer share that has the fewest jobs in the queue.

    Correct Answer
    A. Foley should order a second high-speed laser printer of the same make and model and institute a printer pool.

    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?

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

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

    • The default share permission in Windows Server 2003 is Everyone: Allow Read.

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

    • The RID Master role is unavailable.

    • The PDC Emulator role is unavailable

    • The domain infrastructure role is unavailable

    • The schema master role is unavailable

    Correct Answer
    A. The RID Master role is unavailable.
    Explanation
    The most likely cause of the problem is that the RID Master role is unavailable. The RID Master role is responsible for assigning unique relative identifiers (RIDs) to each object created in the domain. When adding new computer accounts, the RID Master role is needed to assign unique RIDs to these accounts. If the RID Master role is unavailable, it would prevent the addition of new computer accounts, resulting in the error messages encountered after successfully adding three computer accounts manually.

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

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

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

    • Requirements will take effect immediately for all new accounts

    • Existing accounts will be affected when they next change their password

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

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

    • 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

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

    • 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

    • 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

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 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 Windows 2003 Server is configured as a print server. In the middle of the workday,the printer fuse fails, and must be replaced. Users have already submitted jobs tothe printer, which uses IP address 192.168.1.81. An identical printer uses address192.168.1.217, and is supported by other logical printers on the server. Whatactions should you take so that users’ jobs can be printed without resubmission?

    • In the failed printer’s Properties dialog box, select Enable Printer Pooling

    • At the command prompt, type Net Stop Spooler.

    • At the command prompt, type Net Start Spooler.

    • In the failed printer’s Properties dialog box, select the port 192.168.1.217.

    • In the failed printer’s Properties dialog box, click Add Port.

    Correct Answer
    A. In the failed printer’s Properties dialog box, select the port 192.168.1.217.
    Explanation
    Because the other printer is already supported by logical printers on

    Which of the following options will give you the clearest picture of printer utilization—allowing you to understand the consumption of printer toner and paper?

    • Configure auditing for a logical printer and audit for successful use of the Print permission by the Everyone system group.

    • Export the System log to a comma-delimited text file and use Excel to analyze spooler events.

    • Configure a performance log and monitor the Total Pages Printed counter for each logical printer.

    • Configure a performance log and monitor the Jobs counter for each logical counter.

    Correct Answer
    A. Configure a performance log and monitor the Total Pages Printed counter for each logical printer.
    Explanation
    The Total Pages Printed counter gives the clearest picture of printer
    toner and paper consumption, as such consumption is most closely associated with the number
    of pages, not the number of jobs, printed. The spooler and object access events logged in the System and Security logs will be cumbersome at best and, most likely, completely unhelpful in this task.

    What type of Group Policy software deployment should be used to distribute aservice pack?

    • Published in the Computer Configuration Software Settings

    • Assigned in the Computer Configuration Software Settings

    • Published in the User Configuration Software Settings

    • Assigned in the User Configuration Software Settings

    Correct Answer
    A. Assigned in the Computer Configuration Software Settings
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Assigned in the Computer Configuration Software Settings." This is because when distributing a service pack, it is typically installed on the computer level rather than the user level. Assigning the software in the Computer Configuration Software Settings ensures that the service pack is deployed to all computers within the specified group policy scope.
