Microsoft-Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Infrastructure Set 1

You work as the IT Admin at ABC.com. The ABC.com network has a forest that operates at the forest functional level of Windows Server 2003. The forest has a root domain named ABC.com, and two child domains named north.ABC.com and south.ABC.com. Each domain has a security group named Research which holds the user accounts for that domain. Two domain controllers are situated in each of these domains. One domain controller in each domain hosts a copy of the global catalog. The global catalog server in the ABC.com domain holds the domain naming and the schema master roles. The global catalog server in north.ABC.com and south.ABC.com holds the relative ID (RID), infrastructure, and PDC emulator master roles. A ABC.com user named Ally Wagner, in the south.ABC.com domain, was recently married. When Ally Wagner got back, she asked you to change her surname in her user account. After changing Ally Wagner's user account to Ally Hamm, you notice that her user account is still incorrectly specified as Ally Wagner in the Research group. Which of the following master roles should you move to the domain controller that does not have the Global Catalog in each domain?

You work as the IT Admin at ABC.com. The ABC.com network has a domain named ABC.com. ABC.com has offices in London and Berlin, which are configured as separate sites. A Backup of ABC.com's Ntds.dit file is performed outside of business hours, seven days a week. The domain has an OU named Research that currently holds no Active Directory objects. During the course of the business day an administrator in Berlin removes the Research OU, while an administrator in London simultaneously places existing Active Directory objects in it. The London administrator is later informed of the removal, and now realizes that the objects that were placed into the Research OU are missing. The CIO has subsequently instructed you to make sure that a Research OU and the missing Active Directory objects are available to the London administrator. The CIO also informs you that your solution should have no impact on network connectivity and resources. You have already created a new OU, and named it Research. Which of the following actions should you take NEXT?

You work as a IT Admin at ABC.com. ABC.com has its headquarters located in Dallas and branch division in Miami. The Dallas and Miami division represent separate sites. The Dallas and Miami divisions are linked to each other via a WAN link. You have added a domain controller named ABC-SR01 to the Miami division and configured it as a global catalog server. You have just completed configuring the site link between the Dallas and Miami divisions. The CIO at ABC.com has instructed you to make sure that Miami workstations authenticate to the network via ABC-SR01. The CIO also informs you that the replication of domain changes has to happen instantaneously. Which of the following actions should you take?

You work as the network administrator at ABC.com. The ABC.com network has a domain named ABC.com. All servers on the ABC.com network have Windows Server 2003 installed and all workstations have Windows XP Professional installed. ABC.com has its headquarters in Chicago and a branch office in Dallas. Each office is configured as an Active Directory site, and the branch office is connected to the Chicago headquarters by a T1 connection. The Chicago headquarters contains two domain controllers named ABC-DC01 and ABC-DC02. The Dallas branch office also contains two domain controllers named ABC-DC03 and ABC-DC04. You plan to install a new server named ABC-DC05 in the Chicago office and a new server named ABC-DC06 in the Dallas branch office. ABC-DC05 and ABC-DC06 have much better hardware resources than the other domain controllers. Management wants the servers that have the best hardware resources to deal with Active Directory replication in each site. Which of the following actions should you take?

You work as the IT Admin at ABC.com. The ABC.com network has a domain named ABC.com with all servers installed with Windows Server 2003 and all workstations with Windows XP Professional. All the workstations' computer accounts are placed in an organizational unit (OU) named ClientComputers. A new ABC.com security policy requires that users must be assigned local Power Users group membership and not local Administrators group membership on all workstations on the network. This means that the security policy does not allow users to have administrative rights to domain controllers and member servers. In addition to this, it does not allow Power Users group membership to be modified in any way by members of the local Administrators group on workstations. You must implement a solution to comply with the requirements of the written security policy with group membership assignment occurring automatically. Which of the following actions should you take?

You work as the IT Admin at ABC.com. The ABC.com network has a domain named ABC.com. All servers on the ABC.com network have Windows Server 2003 installed. ABC.com makes use of Group Policy objects (GPOs) to deploy applications to workstations. ABC.com employees in the Data Processing division can decide between two applications to view information based on the specific data formats and features they want. You must create a GPO to deploy either application depending on the selection made by the employee. Which of the following is an action that you should take to achieve the above goals?

You work as the network administrator at ABC.com. The ABC.com network has a domain named ABC.com. ABC.com is made up of four divisions named Sales, Marketing, Finance and Research. The ABC.com network has an organizational unit (OU) named after each division that holds the user accounts of all employees working in that specific division. The workstations used by the Sales employees are contained in an organizational unit (OU) named SalesComputers. The SalesComputers OU belongs to the Sales OU. You have recently deployed a new installation package for the application to all user accounts in the Sales OU. You have also generated a Group Policy object (GPO) that will deploy the installation package. You have to make sure that when an employee is shifted to another division, the application is uninstalled from that specific user's workstation. When Mia Hamm is shifted from the Sales division to the Finance division a month later, you remove Mia Hamm from the Sales OU and include her in the Finance OU. The next morning you discover that Mia Hamm's workstation is still running the Sales applications although she was removed from the Sales OU. Which of the following actions should you take? (Choose all that apply.)

You work as the IT Admin at ABC.com. The ABC.com network has a forest that contains multiple domains. ABC.com has headquarters in London and branch offices in Paris, Berlin, Milan, Madrid, Stockholm, Warsaw, Minsk, and Athens. All domain controllers on the ABC.com network have Windows 2000 Server installed and each domain contains user objects for six ABC.com branch offices. The administrators in the Paris and Berlin branch offices provide help desk support to users in all ABC.com's domains. The customer support administrators mostly deal with requests to change group membership. One morning, the customer support administrators complain that group membership changes are frequently lost, with the result that they have to recreate quite a large number of group membership changes. You investigate the issue and suspect that it is being triggered by replication conflicts that take place when numerous requests are happening at the same time. In an attempt to resolve the issue, you perform uABCradation of all domain controllers to Windows Server 2003 but the problem is still not solved. How can you decrease the volume of lost group membership changes?

You work as the IT Admin at ABC.com. The ABC.com network has a domain named ABC.com. All servers on the ABC.com network have Windows Server 2003 installed and all workstations have Windows XP Professional installed. You are in the process of configuring a recently created Group Policy object (GPO) to publish an .msi file that will install a new finance application. ABC.com users who are using the outdated application must have the choice to either continue using the outdated application or switching to the new application. However, both applications cannot be installed on the same workstation simultaneously. Which of the following actions should you take meet these requirements?

You work as the IT Admin at ABC.com. The ABC.com network has a domain named ABC.com. All servers on the ABC.com network have Windows Server 2003 installed and all workstations have Windows XP Professional installed. The ABC.com network currently makes use of a domain controller named ABC-DC01. When ABC-DC01 goes offline due to a faulty hard disk, you reboot it in Directory Services Restore Mode and enter your usual user name and password when prompted to log on. However, you are presented with a message informing you that your logon attempt was not successful. Which of the following actions should you take to log onto ABC-DC01?
