2. You are administering a Windows Server 2003 computer configured as a print server. Users in the Marketing group complain that they cannot print documents using a printer on the server. You view the permissions in the printer’s Properties dialog box. The Marketing group is allowed Manage Documents permission. Why can’t the users print to the printer?

The Everyone group must be granted the Manage Documents permission.

The Administrators group must be granted the Manage Printers permission.

The Marketing group must be granted the Print permission.

The Marketing group must be granted the Manage Printers permission.

The Marketing group must be granted the Print permission because even though they have the Manage Documents permission, they still need the Print permission in order to actually print documents using the printer on the server. The Manage Documents permission only allows them to manage and manipulate the documents once they are printed, but it does not grant them the ability to initiate the printing process itself.

11. You are the systems administrator for a law firm with a group of 20 legal assistants who provide administrative support to the attorneys. All of the assistants use a single, shared, high-speed laser printer installed on a Windows Server 2003 system. They must print large documents on a regular basis. Although the laser printer is fast, it is kept running almost constantly, printing documents. At times, the assistants have to wait 20 minutes or more after submitting a print job for their documents to reach the top of the queue. None of the assistants wants to scroll through a list of available printers to check which one has the fewest jobs before submitting a document. Which of the following options should you consider to minimize the amount of time that printers take to finish printing documents for all the assistants?

Install a second laser printer of the same make and model and create a printer pool.

Purchase three more identical laser printers, and install them with their own individual printer shares on the print server.

Installing a second laser printer of the same make and model and creating a printer pool would be the best option to minimize the amount of time that printers take to finish printing documents for all the assistants. By creating a printer pool, print jobs can be distributed evenly across both printers, reducing the waiting time for each assistant. This solution would effectively increase the printing capacity and alleviate the bottleneck caused by a single printer.

13. What is the required amount of free disk space on a volume to perform a complete defragmentation?

5 percent

10 percent

15 percent

25 percent

50 percent

To perform a complete defragmentation on a volume, it is recommended to have at least 15 percent of free disk space. This is because during the defragmentation process, the data on the disk is moved and rearranged to optimize its storage. Having a sufficient amount of free space allows the defragmentation tool to effectively move and organize the files, resulting in improved performance and efficiency.

14. You’re setting up software RAID on your Windows Server 2003 computer to provide fault tolerance to the data stored on that system. The computer is used as a database server. The server performs many read operations but relatively few write operations. As a result, you want a fault-tolerant solution that provides excellent read performance. Which RAID solution should you use?

RAID-0

RAID-1

RAID-5

RAID-5 is the most suitable solution in this scenario. RAID-5 provides fault tolerance by distributing parity data across multiple drives, allowing for the reconstruction of data in case of a single drive failure. It also offers excellent read performance as it allows multiple drives to read data simultaneously, increasing the overall read speed. This is beneficial for a database server that performs many read operations. RAID-0 does not provide fault tolerance, and RAID-1 may not offer as good read performance as RAID-5.

17. You’re setting up a Windows Server 2003 computer, and you want to protect the data on the hard disk. You want to implement a solution that provides the fastest disk I/O possible and supports the hot swapping of hard disks. Which RAID solution should you use?

RAID-0

RAID-1

RAID-5

Hardware RAID

The hardware RAID solution is the best choice in this scenario because it provides the fastest disk I/O and supports the hot swapping of hard disks. Hardware RAID uses a dedicated RAID controller, which offloads the processing from the server's CPU and improves performance. It also allows for easy replacement of failed drives without shutting down the server, ensuring continuous data availability. RAID-0, RAID-1, and RAID-5 are software-based RAID solutions that do not offer the same level of performance and hot swapping capabilities as hardware RAID.

18. The marketing department is complaining about print quality on its shared printer, which is called MarketingPrinter. When users print from their Windows XP desktops using Microsoft Office applications, documents print perfectly. But when they print from Adobe applications, the documents do not always reflect the desired results. The sales department, which has an identical shared printer called Sales-Printer and uses a mix of Windows 2000 and Windows XP workstations and Office, does not report any problems. As you consider the situation, it occurs to you that some applications produce different results depending on whether the printer is using PostScript or a non-PostScript driver. Where do you deploy the properly functioning printer driver so that the computers needing it are updated?

The Server Properties dialog box of the print server

The printer Properties dialog box of MarketingPrinter

The printer Properties dialog box of SalesPrinter

The printer Properties dialog box for the logical printers installed on the desktops of each marketing department user

The correct answer is the printer Properties dialog box of MarketingPrinter. This is because the issue is specifically related to the print quality on the MarketingPrinter, and the problem occurs when printing from Adobe applications. By updating the printer driver in the Properties dialog box of MarketingPrinter, the issue with print quality can be resolved for the marketing department users when printing from Adobe applications.

19. A computer on which you want to implement RAID-5 contains three disks, each with 2 GB of unallocated space. Using the Disk Management snap-in, you start the New Volume Wizard by right-clicking one of the regions of unallocated space. When you reach the Select Volume Type screen, the RAID-5 option is not available. What is the most likely reason for this behavior?

RAID-5 is already implemented in hardware.

One or two of the disks are configured with the basic storage type.

All three disks are configured with the dynamic storage type.

All three disks are configured with the basic storage type.

RAID-5 is already implemented in software.

The most likely reason for the RAID-5 option not being available is that one or two of the disks are configured with the basic storage type. RAID-5 requires all disks to be configured with the dynamic storage type in order to implement the RAID-5 volume. If any of the disks are configured with the basic storage type, the option to create a RAID-5 volume will not be available.

20. Which of the following provides the ability to recover from the failure of a single hard drive?

Logical drive

Simple volume

Mirrored volume

RAID-5 volume

Striped volume

A mirrored volume provides the ability to recover from the failure of a single hard drive by creating an exact copy (mirror) of the data on another drive. If one drive fails, the other drive can still be used to access the data. RAID-5 volume also provides fault tolerance by distributing data across multiple drives and including parity information, which allows for recovery from the failure of a single drive. The other options, logical drive, simple volume, and striped volume, do not offer the same level of fault tolerance and data recovery capabilities.

21. You’re implementing software RAID on your Windows Server 2003 computer. You want to provide fault tolerance to the system and boot partitions. Which version of RAID should you use?

RAID-0.

RAID-1.

RAID-5.

You cannot use software RAID to protect a boot partition.

RAID-1 is the correct answer because it provides fault tolerance by mirroring data across multiple disks. In this case, implementing RAID-1 would allow the system and boot partitions to be duplicated on separate disks, ensuring that if one disk fails, the system can still boot and operate normally from the mirrored disk. RAID-0 does not provide fault tolerance as it uses striping without redundancy, RAID-5 requires at least three disks and does not specifically protect boot partitions, and the statement "You cannot use software RAID to protect a boot partition" is incorrect as RAID-1 can be used for this purpose.
