    If the "hold mismatched documents" option is not enabled when a PostScript-formatted document is sent to a non-PostScript printer, the printer might print tens or hundreds of pages with a single control code on each page. Enabling the "hold mismatched documents" option would prevent this from happening by holding the documents that do not match the printer's format, allowing the user to review and correct any issues before printing.

    If you make changes to an existing GPO that is already linked in Active Directory, how fast do the policy settings take effect?

    • A.

      50 seconds

    • B.

      30 minutes

    • C.

      1 hour

    • D.

      As soon as the client downloads them

    Correct Answer
    D. As soon as the client downloads them
    Explanation
    When changes are made to an existing Group Policy Object (GPO) that is already linked in Active Directory, the policy settings take effect as soon as the client downloads them. This means that the client needs to refresh its Group Policy settings by downloading the updated GPO from the domain controller. Once the client receives the updated policy settings, they will be applied immediately. The time it takes for the client to download the updated GPO can vary depending on factors such as network speed and client configuration.

    What would you use to prevent GPOs linked to parent containers from affecting child containers?

    • A.

      GPO filtering

    • B.

      Enforcing inheritance

    • C.

      Loopback policy processing

    • D.

      Inheritance blocking

    Correct Answer
    D. Inheritance blocking
    Explanation
    Inheritance blocking is the correct answer because it allows you to prevent Group Policy Objects (GPOs) linked to parent containers from affecting child containers. By blocking inheritance, you can ensure that specific GPOs are not applied to certain containers, giving you more control over the application of policies in your organizational structure.

    Rate this question:

  • 38. 

    How can you ensure that a GPO's settings are applied to all child objects, even if a GPO with conflicting settings is linked to a container at a deeper level?

    • A.

      GPO Filtering

    • B.

      Enforcing inheritance

    • C.

      Loopback policy processing

    • D.

      Inheritance blocking

    Correct Answer
    B. Enforcing inheritance
    Explanation
    Enforcing inheritance ensures that a GPO's settings are applied to all child objects, regardless of any conflicting settings from a GPO linked to a container at a deeper level. This means that the GPO's settings will take precedence over any conflicting settings and be applied to all objects within the scope of the GPO.

    • B.

      The package is advertised in Add/Remove programs as an installation option

    • C.

      The package is placed on the computers but is not installed until a member of the Administrators group installs it

    • D.

      The package installation is mandatory and begins the next time the computer starts

    Correct Answer
    D. The package installation is mandatory and begins the next time the computer starts
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that the package installation is mandatory and begins the next time the computer starts. This means that once the software package is assigned to a group of targeted computers via the Computer Configuration node, it will be automatically installed on those computers the next time they are restarted. No user interaction or manual installation is required, making it a convenient and efficient method of deploying software across multiple computers.

    GPC replication between domain controllers in the same site occurs at about what interval after a change has been made by default?

    • A.

      20 seconds

    • B.

      50 seconds

    • C.

      30 seconds

    • D.

      15 seconds

    Correct Answer
    D. 15 seconds
    Explanation
    By default, GPC (Group Policy Container) replication between domain controllers in the same site occurs at a 15-second interval after a change has been made. This means that any modifications or updates made to the Group Policy settings will be replicated to other domain controllers within the same site every 15 seconds. This ensures that the changes are quickly propagated throughout the network, allowing for consistent and up-to-date Group Policy enforcement across all domain controllers.

    You work for the large Example.com corporation.  Recently, Example.com has been adding new branch offices at a steady rate.  Just last week, a new branch office was created and now you have been put in charge of configuring group policy settings for the branch office.  Because this branch office will be fairly large, it will be set up as a separate domain. Since there are several branch offices with similar GPO requirements, you want to be able to make use of GPOs that have already proven to be useful.  What is the easiest way to make the policies in this new branch office similar to those already in place?

    • A.

      Manually recreate all GPO settings from the other domains and link them to the new domain

    • B.

      Use GPO migration by adding the domains with the policies you want to GPMC, and then copy and paste them.

    • C.

      Use CSVDE import the GPOs via comma separated values in text files

    • D.

      Backup the desired GPOs on the domains you want to mimic, then restore the GPOs in the new domain.

    Correct Answer
    B. Use GPO migration by adding the domains with the policies you want to GPMC, and then copy and paste them.
    Explanation
    The easiest way to make the policies in the new branch office similar to those already in place is to use GPO migration by adding the domains with the desired policies to the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) and then copying and pasting them. This allows for a quick and efficient transfer of the proven useful GPO settings to the new domain without the need to manually recreate all the settings or import them via CSVDE. Additionally, backing up and restoring the desired GPOs may not be as straightforward and efficient as using GPO migration.

    You are troubleshooting a network issue a user is having.  After having changed his network adapter to static addressing, he can no longer reach the internet.  However, the machine resolves Internet names to IP addresses.  Observe the adapter's configuration below, and determine the problem. IP Address: 172.31.20.103 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 DNS Server: 172.31.20.251 Gateway Address: 172.31.19.254

    • A.

      Gateway is outside of the user's subnet

    • B.

      Change subnet mask to 255.255.255.128

    • C.

      The gateway no longer has a route to your ISP, so it does not deliver packets

    • D.

      DNS is providing incorrect or old resolution information, and the IP addresses given are no longer accurate.

    Correct Answer
    A. Gateway is outside of the user's subnet
    Explanation
    The problem is that the gateway address specified in the network adapter's configuration is outside of the user's subnet. This means that the gateway is not within the range of IP addresses that the user's device can communicate with. As a result, the user is unable to reach the internet even though the machine can still resolve internet names to IP addresses. To resolve this issue, the subnet mask should be changed to 255.255.255.128 so that the gateway falls within the user's subnet.

    • D.

      Enables the sharing of folder over the network.

    Correct Answer
    A. Allows the machine to connect to Windows Shared resources by using Server Message Block (SMB)
    Explanation
    The "Client for Microsoft Networks" item in a network adapter's connection properties allows the machine to connect to Windows Shared resources by using Server Message Block (SMB). This means that the machine can access files, folders, printers, and other shared resources on a Windows network. Without this client, the machine would not be able to connect to these shared resources and access the information or services they provide.

    What protocol provides automatic IP address configuration?

    • A.

      DNS

    • B.

      DHCP

    • C.

      ARP

    • D.

      TCP

    Correct Answer
    B. DHCP
    Explanation
    DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) provides automatic IP address configuration. DHCP allows devices to automatically obtain an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and other network configuration settings from a DHCP server. This eliminates the need for manual configuration of IP addresses, making it easier to connect devices to a network. DNS (Domain Name System) is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses, ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is used to map IP addresses to MAC addresses, and TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a communication protocol used for reliable and ordered delivery of data.
