What port is used by Active Directory to direct search requests to a global catalog server?
- A.
3629
- B.
3389
- C.
3268
- D.
3232
Correct Answer
C. 3268Explanation
When a user initiates a search for an object in Active Directory, the request is automatically sent to TCP port 3268, which is used by Active Directory to direct these requests to a global catalog server. One of the SRV records used by Active Directory refers to the global catalog, or _gc, service, which listens on port 3268 to respond to these requests.Rate this question:

You must install the File Services role to use the Distributed File System.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
To use the Distributed File System (DFS), it is necessary to install the File Services role. DFS is a feature in Windows Server that allows users to access and manage files across a network. By installing the File Services role, the server gains the capability to provide DFS functionalities such as file replication, load balancing, and fault tolerance. Therefore, the statement "You must install the File Services role to use the Distributed File System" is true.Rate this question:

What standardized, highly portable print job format is the default format used by the Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 print subsystems?
- A.
XPS
- B.
LPR
- C.
EMF
- D.
PCL
Correct Answer
C. EMFExplanation
Enhanced Metafile (EMF) is a standardized, highly portable print job format that is the default format used by the Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 print subsystems. The printer driver converts the application data into an EMF file, and the printer sends it to the print server, which stores it in the spooler. The spooler then uses the printer driver on the print server to render the job into the final PCL format understood by the print device.Rate this question:

What is a partial copy of all objects from other domains within the same forest that is held on a global catalog server?
- A.
Partial attribute set
- B.
Partial domain set
- C.
Partial attribute listing
- D.
Partial domain listing
Correct Answer
A. Partial attribute setExplanation
The global catalog holds a subset of forest-wide Active Directory objects and acts as a central repository by holding a complete copy of all objects from the host server’s local domain with a partial copy of all objects from other domains within the same forest, called the partial attribute set (PAS). This partial copy of forest-wide data includes a subset of each object’s attributes. The attributes included in this subset are necessary to provide functionality such as logon, object searches, and universal group memberships.Rate this question:

Replication groups use which topology to limit the replication traffic to specific pairs of members?
- A.
Full mesh topology
- B.
Limited mesh topology
- C.
Hub/spoke topology
- D.
Both a and b
Correct Answer
C. Hub/spoke topologyExplanation
By default, replication groups use a full mesh topology, which means that every member in a group replicates with every other member. This is a satisfactory solution for relatively small DFS deployments, but on larger installations, the full mesh topology can generate a huge amount of network traffic. In such cases, you might want to opt for a hub/spoke topology that enables you to limit the replication traffic to specific pairs of members.Rate this question:

What is a mechanism that individual users can employ to maintain access to their server files, even in the event of a network service failure?
- A.
Backup Tape
- B.
Shadow Copies
- C.
Shadow Files
- D.
Offline Files
Correct Answer
D. Offline FilesExplanation
Offline Files, while technically not a form of fault tolerance, is a mechanism that individual users can employ to maintain access to their server files, even in the event of a network service failure. Windows workstations copy server-based folders that users designate for offline use to the local drive, and the users work with the copies, which remain accessible whether the computer is connected to the network or not. If the network connection fails or the user undocks a portable computer, access to the offline files continues uninterrupted. When the computer reconnects to the network, a synchronization procedure occurs that replicates the files between server and workstation in whichever direction is necessary.Rate this question:
