| Multiple Choice
Select the correct answer for each of the following questions. Choose all answers that are correct.
1. What mechanism within DNS is used to set up load balancing between multiple servers that are advertising the same SRV records?
a. Protocol
b. Domain name
c. Port
d. Priority
Clients will always use DNS records with a lower-numbered priority before one with a higher-numbered priority. Clients only use a host with a higher-numbered priority SRV record if hosts corresponding to lower-numbered SRV records are unavailable.
2. What security improvement allows you to begin the installation of an RODC from a secure central location before completing it at the remote site where the RODC will be housed?
a. Staged installation
b. Two-part installation
c. Part I installation
d. Multi-part installation
The staged installation of RODC allows you to delegate the ability to install an RODC without granting rights within Active Directory itself, which allows you to further secure the process of creating an RODC.
3. What does each class or attribute that you add to the Active Directory schema need to have?
a. Protocol
b. Object Identifier
c. Priority
d. Port
Each Object Identifier, represented by a dotted-decimal notation string such as 2.5.4.20, must be globally unique within an Active Directory forest.
4. Which Windows Server 2008 feature enables you to perform certain Active Directory maintenance functions without needing to reboot the domain controller?
a. Directory Services Restore Mode
b. Safe Mode
c. Safe Mode with Networking
d. Restartable Active Directory
Restartable Active Directory is a new feature of Windows Server 2008 that enables you to place the ntds.dit file in an offline mode, allowing you to start and stop Active Directory.
5. Which utility allows you to create, remove, and maintain Active Directory trust relationships from the command-line?
a. Repadmin
b. Nslookup
c. Netdom
d. Shstat
In Active Directory, you can manage trust relationships using the Active Directory Domains & Trusts MMC snap-in GUI interface. If you prefer to work from the command line, you can use the built-in netdom.exe utility.
6. What is the new unified tool, introduced by Windows Server 2008, for managing numerous aspects of a 2008 server?
a. Computer Management
b. Server Manager
c. Active Directory Users & Computers
d. Active Directory Domains & Trusts
Windows Server 2008 introduces the Server Manager console, which allows you to perform network configuration tasks, manage the Windows Firewall, and add and remove server roles and features from a single point of administration.
7. Although all writeable domain controllers use multimaster replication, there are certain sensitive operations that can only be controlled by one DC at a time. What is this functionality known as?
a. Flexible Single Master Operations (FSMO) roles
b. Flexible Multiple Master Operations (FMMO) roles
c. Flexible Single Operations Master (FSOM) roles
d. Flexible Multiple Operations Master (FMOM) roles
There are two forest-wide and three domain-wide FSMO roles. The first domain controller installed in a forest holds all five FSMO roles for the forest root domain; the first DC in any additional domains holds all three domain-wide FSMO roles for the new domain.
8. What Windows Server 2008 feature allows you to configure a user or group as the local administrator of an RODC without delegating any rights to the user or group within Active Directory?
a. Flexible Single Master Operations (FSMO) roles
b. Admin Role Separation
c Staged Installations
d. Active Directory Lightweight Domain Services (AD LDS)
The Admin Role Separation feature is only available on Read-Only Domain Controllers; you cannot configure this feature on writeable DCs because they still participate in multimaster replication.
9. What is a new installation option in Windows Server 2008 that features a minimal installation footprint designed to run specific infrastructure services?
a. RODC
b. FSMO
c. Server Core
d. Web Server Edition
The Server Core installation option in Windows Server 2008 runs almost entirely without a graphical user interface and needs to be administered primarily from the command line.
10. What term describes the length of time for which a DNS record is valid, after which it needs to be re-registered?
a. Protocol
b. Priority
c. Weight
d. Time-to-Live
The TTL guards against scenarios in which out-of-date DNS records remain active within a DNS server. This field is referred to as the hop limit in IPv6.
