Question 1

Which of the following tools would you use to raise the domain functional level from Windows 2000 mixed mode to Windows Server 2003?
A)Group Policy Editor
B)DHCP console
C)Delegation of Control Wizard
D)Active Directory Domains and Trusts

Accepted Answer

You should use the Active Directory Domains and Trusts tool to raise the domain functional level from Windows 2000 mixed mode to Windows Server 2003.
Key Takeaway: To raise the domain functional level using Active directory domains and trusts, log on the PDC of the domain with domain administrator credentials. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Domains and Trust. In the console tree, right-click the domain for which you want to raise functionality, and then click Raise Domain Functional Level. Under select an available domain functional level, either click Windows 2000 native, and click Raise to raise the domain functional level to Windows 2000 native; or click Windows Server 2003, and then click Raise to raise the domain functional level to Windows Server 2003.

Question 2

Which of the following groups should you be a member of in order to be able to create or modify an application directory partition?
A)Domain users
B)Enterprise Admins
C)Server operators
D)Schema Admins

Accepted Answer

You must be a group of the Enterprise Admins group to be able to create or modify an application directory partition.
Key Takeaway: An application directory partition is replicated only to specific domain controllers. A domain controller that participates in the replication of a particular application directory partition hosts a replica of that partition. Only domain controllers running Windows Server 2003 can host a replica of an application directory partition. To change any of the features in the application directory partition, you must be a member of the Domain Admins group or the Enterprise Admins group in Active Directory or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

Question 3

Which of the following is one of the prime requirements for Active directory to be installed?
A)TCP/IP must be installed and the Authoritative DNS server must be installed for the DNS domain.
B)DHCP should be enabled.
C)Windows server 2003 web edition should be installed.
D)The hardware must have a minimum of 500 MB disk space with NTFS partition.

Accepted Answer

One of the prime requirements for Active directory to be installed is that TCP/IP must be installed and the Authoritative DNS server must be installed for the DNS domain.
Key Takeaway: The minimum requirements for installing Active directory are: an administrative account and password, NTFS partition for the SYSVOL folder, 200 MB space for the AD database, 50 MB space for Transactional log files, TCP/IP must be installed and configured with DNS, an Authoritative DNS server must be installed, and Windows server 2003 standard, data or enterprise edition.

Question 4

Which of the following specifies the replication that occurs between sites?
A)Site replication
B)Intra-site replication
C)Remote replication
D)Inter-site replication

Accepted Answer

The replication that occurs between sites is known as Intra-site replication.
Key Takeaway: The Active Directory Knowledge Consistency Checker, or KCC, builds the inter-site replication topology using the least-cost spanning tree design. This replication is optimized for bandwidth efficiency. Directory updates between sites occur automatically based on a configurable schedule. These updates replicated between sites are compressed to preserve bandwidth.

Question 5

Which of the following folders cannot be redirected using the Windows 2003 Folder Redirection and Group policy?
A)My Documents
B)Application Data
C)Favorites
D)Desktop

Accepted Answer

The Favorites folder cannot be redirected using the Windows 2003 Folder Redirection and Group policy.
Key Takeaway: Folder redirection is the group policy folder that is located within the user configuration mode of Group policy, linked to the Active directory container object. It provides administrators the ability to redirect the contents of certain folders to a network location or to another location on a user's local computer.

Question 6

Which of the following templates should you use to reapply the default permissions to the partition containing the OS?
A)IESACLS.INF
B)ROOTSEC.INF
C)SECUREDC.INF
D)SETUP SECURITY.INF

Accepted Answer

ROOTSEC.INF should be used to reapply the default permissions to the partition containing the OS.
Key Takeaway: The ROOTSEC.INF template specifies the root permissions. By default, it defines these permissions for the root of the system drive. You can use this template to reapply the root directory permissions if they are inadvertently changed, or you can modify the template to apply the same root permissions to other volumes.

Question 7

Which of the following phases of software deployment is associated with creating and modifying Group Policy Objects?
A)Preparation
B)Distribution
C)Targeting
D)Installation

Accepted Answer

The phase that is associated with creating and modifying Group Policy Objects in Software Deployment is Targeting.
Key Takeaway: The different phases of software deployment include: Preparation (analyze the software needs of your organization), Distribution (create a software distribution point on the network), Targeting (determine the users of this software), and Installation (manage the state of the software, whether it is installed, modified, repaired, or removed).

Question 8

Which of the following domain functional levels does not have an option to create a universal security group?
A)Windows Server 2003 functional level
B)Windows 2000 native mode
C)Windows 2000 advanced mode
D)Windows 2000 mixed mode

Accepted Answer

Windows 2000 mixed mode does not have an option to create a universal security group.
Key Takeaway: When the domain functional level is set to Windows 2000 native or Windows Server 2003, groups can be added to other groups and assigned permissions in any domain. When the domain functional level is set to Windows 2000 mixed, security groups with universal scope cannot be created.

Question 9

Which of these operations masters' roles performs time-synchronization duties?
A)Infrastructure Master
B)PDC Emulator
C)Schema Master
D)Domain Naming Master

Accepted Answer

The PDC Emulator performs time-synchronization duties.
Key Takeaway: The PDC emulator synchronizes the time on all domain controllers throughout the domain. It gets its clock set to the clock on an arbitrary domain controller in the parent domain. However, the PDC emulator in the parent domain should be configured to synchronize with an external time source. You can synchronize the time on the PDC emulator with an external server by executing the net time command.

Question 10

Which of the following tools should you use to seize the role of any operations master?
A)netdom utility
B)ntdsutil utility
C)Active Directory Users and Computers tool
D)Active Directory Domains and Trusts tool

Accepted Answer

You should use the ntdsutil utility to seize the role of an operations master.
Key Takeaway: Ntdsutil.exe is a command-line tool that allows management facilities for Active Directory. One can use ntdsutil.exe to perform database maintenance of Active Directory, manage and control single master operations, and remove metadata left behind by domain controllers that were removed from the network without being properly uninstalled.

Question 11

Which of the following is not a name given to the directory partitions stored within Active Directory?
A)GPT
B)Domain
C)Configuration
D)Schema

Accepted Answer

GPT is not a name given to the directory partitions stored within Active Directory.
Key Takeaway: AD uses directory partitions to store and replicate information. These partitions divide the database into manageable pieces that separate forest-wide information from domain specific information. The different partitions stored within Ad are: Schema, Configuration, Domain, and Application.

Question 12

Which of the following servers can be joined to a forest that is currently set to Windows 2003 interim mode?
A)Windows 2000
B)Windows NT 3.51
C)Windows NT 4.0
D)Windows NT 3.0

Accepted Answer

Windows NT 4.0 can be joined to a forest that is currently set to Windows 2003 interim mode.
Key Takeaway: Supported servers in Windows 2003 interim mode are Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2003 only.
