    Windows Server 2016 requires the use of which of the following protocol or service in order to support Active Directory?

    • DHCP

    • DNS

    • IPS/SPX

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. DNS
    Explanation
    Windows Server 2016 requires the use of DNS (Domain Name System) in order to support Active Directory. DNS is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses, allowing clients to locate and communicate with domain controllers. By using DNS, Active Directory can maintain a hierarchical structure of domains and provide services such as domain name resolution, authentication, and directory services. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used for automatically assigning IP addresses to clients, while IPS/SPX (Internet Protocol Suite/Sequenced Packet Exchange) is an outdated protocol not used in modern Windows Server environments.

    If only one or a few clients are unable to see a server on the network, the problem is most likely related to the client-side configuration. To fix this make sure that the client computers have the appropriate TCP/IP configuration (including DNS server settings and that they can see other computers on the network.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If only a few clients are unable to see a server on the network, it suggests that the server is functioning properly and other clients can access it. Therefore, the problem is likely with the configuration of the specific clients. To resolve this, it is recommended to check the TCP/IP configuration of the client computers, including the DNS server settings. Additionally, confirming that the clients can see other computers on the network can help identify any network connectivity issues. Therefore, the statement "True" accurately reflects the explanation provided.

    You have a Windows Server 2016 server named Server1. You plan to use Windows Server Backup to back up all of the data on this server. You create a new volume and you need to ensure that the new volume can be used as a backup target. The backup target must support incremental backups. Solution: Assign a drive letter to the volume and format the volume by using ReFS. Does this meet the goal?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    Assigning a drive letter to the volume and formatting it using ReFS does not meet the goal of ensuring that the new volume can be used as a backup target that supports incremental backups. Windows Server Backup does not support backing up to volumes formatted with ReFS. Therefore, this solution does not meet the goal.

    You are promoting a Windows Server 2016 computer to an Active Directory domain controller for test purposes. The new domain controller will be added to an existing domain. While you are using the Active Directory Installation Wizard, you receive an error message that prevents the server from being promoted. Which of the following might be the cause of the problem?

    • The system does not contain an NTFS partition on whicch the Sysvol directory can be created

    • You do not have a Windows Server 2016 DNS server on the network

    • The domain has reached to maximum number of domain controllers

    • Your existing domain and forest functional levels must be downgrated to accept the new DC

    Correct Answer
    A. The system does not contain an NTFS partition on whicch the Sysvol directory can be created
    Explanation
    The reason for the error message preventing the server from being promoted could be that the system does not have an NTFS partition on which the Sysvol directory can be created. The Sysvol directory is a critical component of Active Directory, and it needs to be on an NTFS partition for security and compatibility reasons. Without this partition, the server cannot be promoted to an Active Directory domain controller.

    Where are you most likely to see a Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC)?

    • In a small network instead of in an enterprise

    • In an enterprise network

    • In a remote site

    • In the place of a standard domain controller

    Correct Answer
    A. In a remote site
    Explanation
    A Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) is typically deployed in a remote site. This is because remote sites often have limited physical security and unreliable network connections. By placing an RODC in a remote site, organizations can enhance security by limiting the exposure of sensitive information and credentials. The RODC stores a read-only copy of the Active Directory database, providing authentication and authorization services locally, without the risk of unauthorized modifications. This allows for better performance and reduces the dependency on the central domain controller, making it an ideal solution for remote locations.

    You are a domain administrator for a large domain. Recently, you have been asked to make changes to some of the permissions related to OUs within the domain. To restrict security for NJ OU further, you remove some permissions at that level. Later, a junior system administrator mentions that she is no longer able to make changes to objects within the Clifton OU (which is located within the NJ OU) Assuming that no other changes have been made to Active Directory permissions, which of the following characteristics of OUs might have cause the change in permissions?

    • Inheritance

    • Group Policy

    • Delegration

    • Object properties

    Correct Answer
    A. Inheritance
    Explanation
    Inheritance is the process by which permissions assigned to a parent object are automatically passed down to its child objects. By removing some permissions at the NJ OU level, it is likely that the inheritance of permissions from the parent OU to the Clifton OU has been affected. As a result, the junior system administrator is no longer able to make changes to objects within the Clifton OU.

    You are a system administrator that created a new Active Directory domain in an environment that already contains two trees. During the promotion of the domain controller, you chose to create a new Active Directory forest. You are a member of the Enterprise Administrators group and have full permissions over all domains. During the organization's  migration to Active Directory, many updates were made to the information stored within the domains. Recently, users and other system administrators have complained about not being able to find specific Active Directory objects in one or more domains (although the objects exist in others) To investigate the problem, you want to check for any objects that have not been properly replicated among domain controllers. If possible, you would like to restore these objects to their proper place within the relevant Active Directory domains. Which of the following should you perform to be able to view the relevant information?

    • Change Active Directory to allow object information to be viewed in all domains

    • Promote a member server in each domain to a domain controller

    • Rebuild all domain controllers from the latest baccckups

    • Examine the contents of the LostAndFound folder using the Active Directory Users and Computers tool

    Correct Answer
    A. Examine the contents of the LostAndFound folder using the Active Directory Users and Computers tool
    Explanation
    To be able to view the relevant information, you should examine the contents of the LostAndFound folder using the Active Directory Users and Computers tool. The LostAndFound folder is a special container in Active Directory that stores objects that have been deleted or moved but have not been properly replicated among domain controllers. By checking the contents of this folder, you can identify any objects that have not been replicated correctly and restore them to their proper place within the relevant Active Directory domains.

    You need to deactivate the UGMC option on some of your domain controllers. At which level in Active Directory would you deactivate UGMC?

    • Server

    • Site

    • Domain

    • Forest

    Correct Answer
    A. Site
    Explanation
    To deactivate the UGMC (Universal Group Membership Caching) option on some domain controllers, you would do it at the Site level in Active Directory. The Site level is a logical grouping of domain controllers that are in close physical proximity to each other. By deactivating UGMC at the Site level, you ensure that the caching of universal group memberships is disabled for the domain controllers within that specific site, while still allowing it to be active for other domain controllers in different sites.

    You need to enable three of your domain controllers as global catalog servers. Where would you configure the domain controllers in global catalogs?

    • Forest, NTDS settings

    • Domain, NTDS settings

    • Site, NTDS settings

    • Server, NTDS settings

    Correct Answer
    A. Server, NTDS settings
    Explanation
    To enable a domain controller as a global catalog server, you would configure it in the "Server, NTDS settings" option. The global catalog contains a partial replica of all objects in the forest, which allows for efficient searching and locating of objects in a multi-domain environment. By enabling a domain controller as a global catalog server, it can respond to global catalog queries and provide information about objects in other domains within the forest. This configuration can be done through the NTDS settings of the specific domain controller.

    You are responsible for managing Active Directory replication traffic for a medium-sized organization that has deployed a single Active Directory domain. Currently, the environment is configured with two sites and the default settings for replication. Each site consists of 15 domain controllers. Recently, network administrators have complained that Active Directory traffic is using a large amount of available network bandwidth between the two sites. You have been asked to meet the following requirements: 1. Reduce the amount of network traffic between domain controllers in the two sites 2. Minimize the amount of change to the current site topology 3. Require no changes to the existing physical network infrastructure You decide that it would be most efficient to configure specific domain controllers in each site that will receive the majority of replication traffic, from the other site. Which of the following solutions meet the requirements?

    • Create additional sites that are designed only for replication traffic and move the existing domain controllers to these sites

    • Create multiple site links between the two sites

    • Create site link bridge between the two sites

    • Configure one server at each site to act as a preferred bridgehead server

    Correct Answer
    A. Configure one server at each site to act as a preferred bridgehead server
    Explanation
    Configuring one server at each site to act as a preferred bridgehead server meets the requirements. This solution reduces network traffic by directing replication traffic to specific domain controllers, minimizing the impact on available network bandwidth. It also requires minimal changes to the current site topology and does not require any changes to the existing physical network infrastructure. This solution effectively addresses all the given requirements.

    Which of the following does not need to be created manually when you are setting up a replication scenario involving three domains and three sites?

    • Sites

    • Site Links

    • Connect objects

    • Subnets

    Correct Answer
    A. Connect objects
    Explanation
    In a replication scenario involving three domains and three sites, connect objects do not need to be created manually. Connect objects are automatically created when you set up site links between the sites. These connect objects represent the physical connections between the sites and facilitate the replication process. Therefore, there is no need to manually create connect objects when setting up this replication scenario.

    Which of the following services of Active Directory is responsible for maintaining the replication topology?

    • FRP - File Replication Service

    • KCC - Knowldedge Consistency Checker

    • WINS - Windows Internet Name Service

    • DNS - Domain Name System

    Correct Answer
    A. KCC - Knowldedge Consistency Checker
    Explanation
    The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) is responsible for maintaining the replication topology in Active Directory. The KCC is a built-in process that runs on domain controllers and automatically creates and manages the replication connections between domain controllers. It determines the most efficient replication paths and ensures that changes made on one domain controller are replicated to all other domain controllers in the network. The KCC also monitors the replication process and adjusts the topology as needed to ensure consistency and reliability in the Active Directory environment.

    You have configured your Active Directory environment with multiple sites and have placed the appropriate resources in each of the sites. You are now trying to choose a protocol for the transfer of replication information between two sites. The connection between the two sites has the following characteristics: 1. The link is generally unavailable during certain parts of the day because of an unreliable network provider 2. The replication transmission must be attempted whether the link is available or not. If the link was unavailable during a scheduled replication, the information should automatically be received after the link becomes available again. 3. Replication traffic must be able to travel over a standard Internet connection Which of the following protocols meets these requirements?

    • IP

    • SMTP

    • RPC

    • DHCP

    Correct Answer
    A. SMTP
    Explanation
    SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) meets the requirements because it allows replication information to be transferred over a standard Internet connection. It also supports automatic retransmission of information if the link is unavailable during a scheduled replication. Additionally, SMTP is a reliable protocol that can handle intermittent network connectivity, making it suitable for an environment with an unreliable network provider.
