Review Questions | MCSA[s]MCSE

1. ‚	You are currently running in the Windows 2000 mixed domain functional level and are considering making the switch to the Windows 2000 native domain functional level. Which of the following would be valid concerns to take into account before making the switch? (Choose all that apply.) The switch is irreversible. If you later decide to switch back to the Windows 2000 mixed domain functional level, all object configuration will be lost. Exchange Server 5.5 cannot be run in a Windows 2000 native domain functional level environment. You must upgrade or retire all Windows NT 4.0 domain controllers.
2. ‚	Which of the following statements is true of domains in a single domain tree? Domains are not configured with trust relationships by default. Domains are automatically configured with one-way trust relationships flowing from parent domains to child domains. Domains are automatically configured with two-way nontransitive trusts. Domains are automatically configured with two-way transitive trusts.
3. ‚	What is the relationship between a Windows Server 2003 site and an Exchange site? The terms are used interchangeably. There must be a one-to-one mapping of Windows Server 2003 sites and Exchange sites. A Windows Server 2003 site can span multiple Exchange sites. An Exchange site can span multiple Windows Server 2003 sites. There is no relationship between Exchange sites and Windows Server 2003 sites.
4. ‚	A hierarchical arrangement of one or more Windows Server 2003 domains that share a common namespace is referred to as a: Windows Server 2003 site Domain site Domain tree Domain forest
5. ‚	You have just installed the first Windows Server 2003 server on your network and want to make it a domain controller. How would you do this? The first Windows Server 2003 server is automatically made a domain controller. Install Active Directory on the computer. Install DNS on the computer. Install the Schema on the computer.
6. ‚	Which of the following statements is true? An organizational unit cannot contain objects from other domains. An organizational unit can contain objects only from other trusted domains.

Answers

1. ‚	A, D. The switch to the Windows 2000 native domain functional level is a one-time, one-way switch and is irreversible. Once you have switched to the Windows 2000 native domain functional level, you will no longer be able to have Windows NT 4.0 domain controllers within the organization.
2. ‚	D. Windows Server 2003 (along with Windows 2000 Server) and Active Directory support transitive two-way trusts between domains. When a child domain is created, a trust relationship is automatically configured between that child domain and the parent domain. This trust is two-way, meaning that resource access requests can flow from either domain to the other.
3. ‚	E. Exchange sites are a construct from Exchange 5.5 that defined administrative and routing boundaries. Sites are no longer used in Exchange Server 2003. Windows Server 2003 sites are groups of computers on the same IP subnet.
4. ‚	C. A domain tree is a hierarchical arrangement of one or more Windows Active Directory domains that share a common namespace. Domain Name Service (DNS) domain names represent the tree structure. The first domain in a tree is called the root domain.
5. ‚	B. To create a domain controller, all you have to do is install the Active Directory service on it. During this process, you have the option of creating a new domain or joining an existing domain. If you create a new domain, you also have the option of creating or joining an existing domain tree or forest.
6. ‚	A. An organizational unit is a container in which you can place objects such as user accounts, groups, computers, printers, applications, file shares, and other organizational units. An organizational unit cannot contain objects from other domains and is the smallest unit you can assign or delegate administrative authority to. Organizational units are provided strictly for administrative purposes and convenience.
7. ‚	B. DNS is the primary provider of name resolution for Windows Server 2003 ‚ based networks. In fact, the Windows Server 2003 domain structure is based on DNS structure, and Active Directory requires that DNS be used.
8. ‚	B, C. The Active Directory Connector is a Windows Server 2003 service that synchronizes the Exchange 5.5 directory with Active Directory. This allows you to administer your directory from Active Directory or the Exchange 5.5 directory service. You can also use ADC to migrate objects from the Exchange directory service to Active Directory.
9. ‚	C. An Exchange Server 2003 database is actually a logical entity that represents two physical database files, a rich-text (EDB) file and a streaming media (STM) file. The rich-text file holds messages and works much like the database files in previous versions of Exchange Server. The streaming media file has been added to provide native support for many types of streaming media, including voice, audio, video, and others.
10. ‚	D. Exchange allows up to five databases per storage group and up to four production storage groups per server. Each database must exist inside a storage group. The recovery storage group is not taken into consideration when examining the number of databases a server can hold.
11. ‚	A, C, D, E. The most current state of any Exchange store is the EDB database, the STM database, the current log file, and the current checkpoint file.
12. ‚	A. MAPI clients, such as Outlook, can access only the default public folder tree in an organization. Clients that can directly access the file system, such as Office applications, web browsers, and Windows Explorer, can access multiple public folder trees. POP3 clients cannot access public folders at all.
13. ‚	A. This is a means of exposing the Exchange Information Store to users and applications on the network. Because your local computer can assign, or map, a drive letter to these resources, standard applications such as Windows Explorer and Office 2003 can access resources in the Exchange Store.
14. ‚	C. Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Server Edition both support up to eight nodes in an active/passive cluster. Windows 2000 Advanced Server supports two nodes in an active/passive cluster. Windows 2000 Datacenter Server supports up to four nodes an active/passive cluster.
15. ‚	A. The Information Store (a process named store.exe ) is the Exchange service that manages the Information Store on an Exchange server. One instance of store.exe runs for each storage group on a server. store.exe manages processes such as store replication; maintains the ESE databases; and provides protocol stubs, interfaces that allow the ExIPC to transfer data between the IIS (a process named inetinfo.exe ). explorer.exe is the Windows shell and mad.exe is the service used by the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant.
16. ‚	B. The SMTP Connector is more configurable than the Routing Group Connector and thereby offers the ability to more finely tune the connection. The SMTP Connector offers the ability to issue authentication before sending mail, specifying TLS encryption and removing mail from queues on remote servers.
17. ‚	A, B. Both the Routing Group Connector and SMTP Connector can be configured to use multiple source and destination bridgehead servers. The X.400 Connector can support only one bridgehead server. There is no such thing as a TCP Connector.
18. ‚	C. X.400 Connectors are useful for linking routing groups when there is very little bandwidth (less than 16 Kbps) available between servers or when X.400 is the only connectivity available.
19. ‚	C. SMTP does not require a high-performance network connection. This and the elimination of Exchange sites in Exchange Server 2003 have led to much greater flexibility in the deployment of servers.
20. ‚	B, C. Exchange Server 2003 has replaced the concept of Exchange 5.5 sites with routing groups and administrative groups. Routing groups are used to define groups of Exchange servers that share a reliable (but not necessarily high-bandwidth) connection. Administrative groups are used to define administrative boundaries.
