    What is Active Directory designed for?

    • It is completely useless

    • It is designed to store information about all of the objects on the network, including users, groups, computers, printers, and even software.

    • It is designed to protect the network against threats on the Internet.

    • It is designed to mess up networks

    Correct Answer
    A. It is designed to store information about all of the objects on the network, including users, groups, computers, printers, and even software.
    Explanation
    Active Directory is designed to store information about all objects on the network, such as users, groups, computers, printers, and software. It serves as a central repository for managing and organizing these objects, providing a unified view and facilitating access control and authentication. This helps in simplifying network administration, improving security, and enhancing overall efficiency.

  • 3. 

    When using Active Directory, every object on the network can be controlled.  

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Active Directory is a directory service provided by Microsoft that allows for the centralized management and control of network resources. With Active Directory, administrators can control and manage various objects on the network, such as users, computers, and printers. This includes controlling access permissions, managing group policies, and enforcing security measures. Therefore, the statement that every object on the network can be controlled when using Active Directory is true.

    Windows Server 2003/2008 Domains now support cross forest Transitive trusts.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that Windows Server 2003/2008 Domains do support cross forest Transitive trusts. This means that trust relationships can be established between different Active Directory forests, allowing users in one forest to access resources in another forest. Transitive trusts allow the trust relationship to be extended to other domains within the forest, providing seamless access to resources across multiple forests.

  • 5. 

    Networks are collections of users, printers and resources.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Networks are indeed collections of users, printers, and resources. In a computer network, multiple devices are connected to share information, resources, and services. These devices can include computers, printers, servers, routers, switches, and more. Users can access shared files, printers, and other resources over the network, making collaboration and resource sharing easier. Therefore, the statement "Networks are collections of users, printers, and resources" is true.

    In an Active Directory Tree or Forest, each domain controller will store a copy of its own domain.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In an Active Directory Tree or Forest, each domain controller will store a copy of its own domain. This is because each domain controller is responsible for managing and maintaining the specific domain it belongs to. By having a copy of the domain stored locally, the domain controller can efficiently handle authentication requests, manage user accounts, and replicate changes to other domain controllers within the same domain. This distributed approach ensures fault tolerance and improves performance in the Active Directory environment.

    A. Reboot
    Explanation
    During installation, the computer might reboot several times. Rebooting is a common occurrence during the installation process as it allows the computer to apply the changes made during the installation, update system settings, and ensure that the newly installed software or updates are properly integrated into the system. Rebooting also helps to resolve any conflicts or errors that may have occurred during the installation process, ensuring a smooth and stable operation of the computer after the installation is complete.

    A. It states the format of information stored in the Active Directory database.
    Explanation
    The Active Directory Schema defines the structure and organization of objects stored in the Active Directory database. It specifies the attributes and classes that can be used to create objects and determines how these objects are related to each other. The schema ensures consistency and compatibility within the Active Directory environment by defining the format and rules for storing and accessing information. It does not cause system downtime or remove viruses from the network, and while it can be used as a debugging tool, that is not its primary purpose.

Having multiple Domain Controllers in a domain provides redundancy and fault tolerance, ensuring that if one Domain Controller fails, the others can continue to provide services. Additionally, multiple Domain Controllers can distribute the load of user authentication and other domain management tasks, improving performance and scalability.
