    A ____________________ is a group created in the local SAM database on a member server or workstation or a stand-alone computer.

    Explanation
    A local group refers to a group that is created within the local Security Accounts Manager (SAM) database on a member server, workstation, or a stand-alone computer. This type of group is specific to the local machine and is used for managing user access and permissions on that particular system. Local groups are not domain-based and do not have any impact or visibility on other machines or the entire network.

    Members of the Backup Operators group can log on locally to and shut down domain controllers.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Members of the Backup Operators group have the necessary privileges to log on locally to domain controllers and perform tasks such as shutting them down. This group is specifically designed to allow users to perform backup and restore operations on the domain controller, which includes shutting it down if necessary. Therefore, the statement is true.

    At about what interval does a computer change its computer account password? 

    • 30 minutes

    • 30 hours

    • 30 days

    • 30 weeks

    Correct Answer
    A. 30 days
    Explanation
    A computer typically changes its computer account password at a 30-day interval. This is a security measure to ensure that passwords are regularly updated and reduce the risk of unauthorized access to the system. By changing passwords regularly, the computer enhances its security and makes it more difficult for hackers or unauthorized users to gain access to sensitive information or resources.

    • %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings

    • %SYSTEMDRIVE%\LocalUsers

    • %SYSTEMPARTITION%\LocalUsers

    Correct Answer
    A. %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users
    Explanation
    In Windows Server 2008, user profiles are stored by default in the directory %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users. This directory is typically located on the C: drive, which is the system drive. The user profiles contain personal settings, documents, and other user-specific data for each user on the server. Storing the profiles in the %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users directory allows for easy access and management of the user profiles.

    How do you change a profile into a mandatory profile? 

    • Delete Ntuser.dat from the profile

    • Rename Ntuser.dat to Ntuser.manual

    • Rename Ntuser.dat to Ntuser.man

    • Delete the AppData folder inside the profile

    Correct Answer
    A. Rename Ntuser.dat to Ntuser.man
    Explanation
    To change a profile into a mandatory profile, you need to rename the Ntuser.dat file to Ntuser.man. This file is responsible for storing the user's profile settings and preferences. By renaming it to Ntuser.man, the system recognizes it as a mandatory profile, which means that any changes made by the user will not be saved after logging off. This is useful in situations where you want to enforce a standard profile for multiple users, preventing them from making permanent changes to their profiles.

    In order to ensure no one uses public computer terminals after 5 pm, you’ve set the log on hours for the guest user accounts to deny log on after 5. However, you’ve noticed that users are still using the terminals after 5 pm, while other users are denied the ability to log in.Why are some users denied to log on, while other users are still using the terminals? 

    • Logon hours can only be set on stand-alone computers

    • The users were logged on prior to 5pm

    • You highlighted 8 am to 5 pm, but selected “Logon denied”

    • The machines the other users are on have pending update installs that are preventing the log off sequence from taking place

    By default, a user’s profile is created.... 

    • When the user is created

    • When the user first logs on

    • After the user first logs off

    • After the user creates his profile folder

    Correct Answer
    A. When the user first logs on
    Explanation
    When a user first logs on to a system, their profile is created by default. This means that all the necessary settings, preferences, and personalization options are set up for that specific user. This allows the user to have a personalized experience and access their specific files and applications. Creating the profile when the user first logs on ensures that the profile is created only for active users and reduces unnecessary storage usage for inactive users.

    What is Microsoft’s best practices recommendation for the structure of group scope nesting?

    • AGDLP

    • ADLGP

    • AGPDL

    • ADLPG

    Correct Answer
    A. AGDLP
    Explanation
    Microsoft's best practices recommendation for the structure of group scope nesting is AGDLP. This acronym stands for Account, Global, Domain Local, and Permission. This structure is based on the principle of granting permissions to groups rather than individual users. The Account groups are used to manage user accounts, the Global groups are used to manage permissions across domains, the Domain Local groups are used to manage permissions within a specific domain, and the Permission groups are used to assign specific permissions to resources. This nesting structure ensures better organization, easier management, and more efficient permission assignment within an Active Directory environment.

    You have received a call from an employee about permissions on a shared folder, having found he can no longer access the resource. After checking the folder, you find that the group the employee is in is part of the resource’s DACL, but seems to have no effect on the group’s permissions. The group’s permission entry is the only entry in the DACL. What is wrong?

    • The shared resource no longer exists

    • The group has been converted from a security group to a distribution group

    • The group has been added to “Deny access to shared resources” policy on the

    • The group has been converted from a distribution group to a security group

    Correct Answer
    A. The group has been converted from a security group to a distribution group
    Explanation
    When a security group is converted to a distribution group, it loses its security-related permissions. This means that even though the group is still listed in the DACL of the shared folder, it no longer has any effect on the group's permissions. Therefore, the employee who is part of this group cannot access the shared folder.

    Where are local groups stored? 

    • On a domain controller

    • On the local computer, under C:\Documents and Settings

    • On stand-alone servers only

    • In the local SAM database

    Correct Answer
    A. In the local SAM database
    Explanation
    Local groups are stored in the local SAM (Security Accounts Manager) database. The SAM database is a part of the Windows operating system and is responsible for storing local user and group account information on the local computer. It is used for authentication and authorization purposes, allowing users to access local resources and granting permissions to local groups. Therefore, the correct answer is "In the local SAM database."

    Which of the below utilities uses comma-separated values to bulk import or export Active Directory data? 

    • CVSDE

    • LDAP

    • CSVDE

    • LDFIDE

    Correct Answer
    A. CSVDE
    Explanation
    CSVDE (Comma-Separated Values Data Exchange) is the correct answer because it is a utility that is used to bulk import or export Active Directory data. It allows data to be stored in a CSV file format, where each value is separated by a comma. This format is commonly used for transferring and manipulating data between different systems. LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a protocol used to access and manage directory information, but it does not specifically use comma-separated values for bulk import or export. LDFIDE is not a valid utility or protocol.
