    • A.

      The domain has reached its maximum number of domain controllers

    • B.

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

    • C.

      The TCP/IP configuration on the new server is incorrect

    • D.

      The DNS zone is configured to support one domain controller only

    Correct Answer
    C. The TCP/IP configuration on the new server is incorrect
    Explanation
    The TCP/IP configuration on the new server being incorrect can cause an error message during the promotion of a Windows Server 2016 computer to an Active Directory domain controller. This is because the TCP/IP configuration is essential for the server to communicate with other devices on the network, including the existing domain controllers. If the configuration is incorrect or has conflicting settings, it can prevent the server from being promoted successfully.

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

    • A.

      DHCP

    • B.

      DNS

    • C.

      IPS/SPX

    • D.

      All of the above

    Correct Answer
    B. 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assigning IP addresses to clients, while IPS/SPX (Internet Protocol Suite/Sequenced Packet Exchange) is an outdated protocol not used in modern Windows Server environments.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.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      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 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?

    • A.

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

    • B.

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

    • C.

      The domain has reached to maximum number of domain controllers

    • D.

      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)?

    • A.

      In a small network instead of in an enterprise

    • B.

      In an enterprise network

    • C.

      In a remote site

    • D.

      In the place of a standard domain controller

    Correct Answer
    C. 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.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    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?

    • A.

      Inheritance

    • B.

      Group Policy

    • C.

      Delegration

    • D.

      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.

      The local groups by using Computer Management

    • B.

      A task by using Authorization Manager

    • C.

      The User Rights Assignment by using the Local Group Policy Editor

    • D.

      The Role Assignment by using Authorization Manager

    Correct Answer
    A. The local groups by using Computer Management
    Explanation
    To allow the junior admin to do the backup, you should configure the local groups by using Computer Management. By adding the junior admin to the appropriate local group on the file server (FServerA), such as the Backup Operators group, you grant them the necessary permissions to perform backups using Windows Server Backup. Computer Management is a built-in Windows tool that allows you to manage local users and groups on a computer. By configuring the local groups, you can control the permissions and access rights for different users and groups on the server.

    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?

    • A.

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

    • B.

      Create multiple site links between the two sites

    • C.

      Create site link bridge between the two sites

    • D.
