Answers and Explanations


  1. C. NonPlug and Play hardware, or hardware that is not automatically recognized, must be added via the Add Hardware applet in the Control Panel. Reinstalling the hardware will not cause it to be recognized; therefore, answer A is incorrect. Installing drivers will not accomplish anything if the hardware is not recognized; therefore, answer B is incorrect. The Device Manager does not assist in installing new hardware directly; therefore, answer D is incorrect. See "Using the Add Hardware Wizard" in Chapter 15, "Managing and Troubleshooting Hardware Devices."

  2. B. The server can be booted to the Recovery Console using the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM. Booting from a PXE-capable NIC is used only for the Remote Installation Service (RIS); therefore, answer A is incorrect. Unlike previous versions of Windows, Windows Server 2003 does not come with boot disks; therefore, answer C is incorrect. Answer D is incorrect because you can boot into the Recovery Console using the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM. See "Recovery Console" in Chapter 17, "Managing and Implementing Disaster Recovery."

  3. B. The most likely reason for Mary not being able to create a RAID-5 array in this situation is that the disks are basic disks, not dynamic disks. Dynamic disks are required to create RAID-5 arrays; therefore, answer A is incorrect. Because Windows Server 2003 supports software RAID, a hardware RAID controller is not required; therefore, answer C is incorrect. Being a member of the Enterprise Admins group is not a requirement to create a RAID-5 array; therefore, answer D is incorrect. See "Introduction to Dynamic Disks" in Chapter 12, "Managing Server Storage Devices."

  4. D. To enforce a quota, you must set limits. Just enabling disk quotas tracks usage, but nothing else; therefore, answer A is incorrect. Consolidating free space won't result in any extra space; therefore, answer B is incorrect. Enabling warning limits allows the administrator to see who is running out of configured space; therefore, answer C is incorrect. See "Implementing and Monitoring Disk Quotas" in Chapter 13, "Managing Data Storage."

  5. C. Although all the listed solutions would work, the quickest and easiest solution is to use the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) to automatically download the patch from Microsoft and apply it to all the computers; therefore, answers A, B, and D are incorrect. See "Managing Updates" in Chapter 18, "Managing and Implementing Windows Server Update Services."

  6. C. In addition to disk quotas, a Windows Server 2003 server's NTFS drives support file and folder compression. Disk quotas are based on uncompressed file size; therefore, your database file may take up more than the displayed size-on-disk figure. An NTFS permissions problem or a virus would not give you an out-of-space message; therefore, answers A and D are incorrect. Users do not have the authority to configure quotas; therefore, answer B is incorrect. See "Implementing and Monitoring Disk Quotas" in Chapter 13.

  7. A, C. Both System Monitor and Task Manager allow you to see the current performance of your applications. The Performance Logs and Alerts snap-in allows you to log data and create alerts only, and the Performance Monitor utility was used in previous versions of Windows; therefore, answers B and D are incorrect. See "Monitoring Performance" in Chapter 14, "Monitoring and Optimizing Server Performance."

  8. A, D, E. Although video performance might be important on a workstation, on a server the big four are memory, processor, physical disk, and network; therefore, answer B is incorrect. Answer C is incorrect because application load time is not a device. See "Optimizing System Resources" in Chapter 14.

  9. D. To enforce a quota, you must set limits. Zip files are already compressed, so disk compression has little, if any, effect; therefore, answers A and C are incorrect. Consolidating free space won't result in any extra space; therefore, answer B is incorrect. See "Implementing and Monitoring Disk Quotas" in Chapter 13.

  10. D, E. You need to add her user account to the Administrators and Backup Operators groups to provide the proper permissions to perform backups. The Server Operators, Power Users, and Account Operators groups do not have the proper file-level permissions to back up files; therefore, answers A, B, and C are incorrect. See "Default Groups" in Chapter 3, "Managing Groups."

  11. E. Windows Server 2003 does not use an Emergency Repair Disk; therefore, answers A, B, C, and D are all incorrect. See "Implementing Automated System Recovery (ASR)" in Chapter 17.

  12. A, B. To support WSUS, client computers must be running the updated Automatic Updates client and Windows 2000 (Service Pack 3), Windows XP, or Window Server 2003; therefore, answers C and D are incorrect. See "Configuring Clients for Automatic Updates" in Chapter 18.

  13. C. The quickest and probably cheapest way to distribute the application is to set up a Windows Server 2003 server with Terminal Services running in Application Server mode. In Application Server mode, Terminal Services can support multiple concurrent users, whereas Remote Desktop for Administration mode limits you to two concurrent connections. If your desktops are still running Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups, it's unlikely they could be upgraded to Windows XP quickly or cheaply; therefore, answers A, B, and D are incorrect. See "Using Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services" in Chapter 11, "Managing and Maintaining Terminal Services."

  14. C. The audit information is recorded in the Security Log under Event Viewer; therefore, answers A, B, D, and E are all incorrect. See "Configuring Auditing" in Chapter 16, "Implementing Administrative Templates and Audit Policy."

  15. C. Neither Remote Desktop for Administration or Terminal Services allows Mary to work on the Windows XP client because these are Windows Server 2003 specific features. The Remote Assistance feature allows both Mary and the user to see and control the desktop on the client. The Remote Administrator feature does not exist; therefore, answer D is incorrect. See "Remote Assistance" in Chapter 5 "Administering Windows Server 2003."

  16. A, B, D. When a shared folder is moved, it is no longer shared. When it is moved to a different server, it assumes the NTFS permissions of the target folder, which probably won't be the same as the original folder. Restarting the Server service or giving the shares new names will not cause nonshared folders to appear as shares; therefore, answers C and E are incorrect. See "Copying and Moving Files and Folders" in Chapter 4 "Managing and Maintaining Access to Resources."

  17. C. Although you can still assign a logon script via the user profile, the recommended method in Windows Server 2003 is to assign logon scripts via Group Policy; therefore, answers A, B, and D are incorrect. See "How Group Policy Scripts Work" in Chapter 10 "Managing the User Environment by Using Group Policy."

  18. C. You should install the Terminal Services client so that you can access your servers remotely. The Windows Server 2003 administration tools can be installed only on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 computers; therefore, answer A is incorrect. The Active Directory Users and Groups MMC, whether it is the Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 version, will not run on Windows NT; therefore, answer B is incorrect. Although User Manager for Domains works in a mixed-mode Windows Server 2003 domain, it doesn't provide much functionality; therefore, answer D is incorrect. See "Using Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services" in Chapter 11.

  19. C. One major difference between Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 is the default permissions for file shares. In Windows 2000, the default is EveryoneFull Control. In Windows Server 2003, the default is EveryoneRead. Using Shared folders on a FAT32 volume wouldn't make a difference in access through a share, as long as the permissions were configured correctly. Also, if the permissions were assigned to the wrong groups, that wouldn't explain why the users can access some folders and not others; therefore, answers A and B are incorrect. Quotas were not mentioned; therefore, answer D is incorrect. See "Creating and Managing Shared Folders" in Chapter 4.

  20. A, C, D. You need to follow these steps to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to require authentication and encrypt all data passing between the user computer and the website; therefore, answers B and E are incorrect.

  21. B. External devices attached to serial ports must be installed using the Add Hardware Wizard. Only internal devices, or devices attached to certain parallel ports, can be installed using Plug and Play or via Device Manager; therefore, answers A and D are incorrect. The Add Printers applet can be used only to install printers, not communication devices; therefore, answer C is incorrect. See "Using the Add Hardware Wizard" in Chapter 15.

  22. A. Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services is the only viable option here. It allows the user desktop and files to remain at the headquarters location, and only screen updates and keystrokes are transmitted over the WAN. Although roaming profiles are a nice feature, they tend to get rather large. With such a low-bandwidth link, a typical profile downloading over the WAN would saturate the link; therefore, answer B is incorrect. Although mandatory profiles always present users with the same desktop, their files are not available unless some sort of drive mapping is implemented; therefore, answer C is incorrect. DFS would allow the user files to be stored in multiple locations, but that doesn't affect the desktop, and the file replication between multiple locations could potentially saturate the WAN link; therefore, answer D is incorrect. See "Using Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services" in Chapter 11.

  23. D. The Last Known Good Configuration option starts the server using the Hardware key that was in use the last time the server was successfully booted. It overwrites the new, and potentially bad, SCSI drivers that you just installed. The options in answers A and B will not be effective because they will still be using the defective drivers to boot the server. Automated System Recovery would potentially fix the problem, but only if you had already created a backup set previous to installing the faulty drivers; therefore, answer C is incorrect. See "Last Known Good Configuration" in Chapter 17.

  24. B, D. The Windows Server 2003 Recovery Console cannot be started from a network share, and Windows Server 2003 no longer includes boot disks. Using the operating system menu and the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM are both viable options for starting the Recovery Console; therefore, answers A and C are incorrect. See "Recovery Console" in Chapter 17.

  25. A. Windows NT 4.0 is the only listed operating system that does not support disk quotas. This is because it uses NTFS version 4.0, whereas all the other listed operating systems use NTFS 5.0, which has quota, compression, and encryption support built in; therefore, answers B, C, and D are incorrect. See "Implementing and Monitoring Disk Quotas" in Chapter 13.

  26. B. Unlike previous versions of Windows, in Windows Server 2003, the administrator can assign the ownership of files and folders. Moving the files would not work because files moved to a different folder on an NTFS partition retain their existing permissions; therefore, answer D is incorrect. The other options would work, but they take more steps; therefore, answers A and C are incorrect. See "Changing Ownership of Files and Folders" in Chapter 4.

  27. C. When quotas are enabled, they track only the space used by each user. Quota limits are not enabled by default; they must be manually configured. Quotas are not supported on FAT32 volumes; therefore, answer A is incorrect. Quotas cannot be assigned by group, and there are no default quota limits; therefore, answers B and D are incorrect. See "Implementing and Monitoring Disk Quotas" in Chapter 13.

  28. C. An incremental backup is used to back up only the files and folders that have been created or modified since the last normal or incremental backup. It reads the archive bit to determine which files need to be backed up. It then changes the archive bit of the files that were backed up, so that the next time the backup program is run, the file is not backed up again unless it was changed. A normal backup backs up all the files, whereas a daily backup backs up only the files created or modified that day; therefore, answers A and B are incorrect. A partial backup does not exist; therefore, answer D is incorrect. See "Types of Backups" in Chapter 17.

  29. D. Restarting a server and selecting Last Known Good Configuration is the quickest and easiest way to correct most problems with the SYSTEM Registry key; therefore, answers A, B, and C are incorrect. See "Last Known Good Configuration" in Chapter 17.

  30. B. Roaming profiles allow the users' desktop and the contents of their folders, such as My Documents, to follow them from computer to computer. Shared Profiles is not a valid option; therefore, answer A is incorrect. Although mandatory profiles always present users with the same desktop, their files are not available unless some sort of drive mapping is implemented; therefore, answer C is incorrect. DFS would not enable the required functionality; therefore, answer D is incorrect. See "Managing Local, Roaming, and Mandatory User Profiles" in Chapter 2 "Managing User and Computer Accounts."

  31. D. WSUS can supply compliance reports to track the compliance status of an Update. Unlike the other reports that are available from the reports page, these reports are run by selecting the selected update on the Updates page. SUS doesn't provide a reporting function. See "Managing Updates" in Chapter 18.

  32. B. The Performance Logs and Alerts tool can be used to capture baseline data that can be viewed in the System Monitor. Performance Monitor was the tool used in Windows NT 4.0; therefore, answer A is incorrect. Task Manager is not suited for baselining; therefore, answer C is incorrect. Although System Monitor is used to display performance data, it can't log it to create a baseline; therefore, answer D is incorrect. See "The Performance Logs and Alerts Snap-In" in Chapter 14.

  33. D. Typically, a Disk Queue Length of more than 2 is a problem. To fix this, you should replace the disk with a faster one. Although adding a faster disk might help a little, the existing disk will still be a bottleneck; therefore, answer C is incorrect. All the other settings are within an acceptable range; therefore, answers A and B are incorrect. See "Optimizing System Resources" in Chapter 14.

  34. B. Typically, a Processor Queue Length of more than 2 is a problem, especially if ProcessorTime is more than 80%. All the other settings are within an acceptable range; therefore, answers A, C, and D are incorrect. See "Optimizing System Resources" in Chapter 14.

  35. A. Because NLB uses the IP address of the client when routing, it can reconnect to a disconnected session. However, in those situations where the user has moved to another computer or received a different IP address via DHCP, the user receives a new session chosen at random from the group of servers. The Session Directory is a database that indexes the sessions using the username instead of the IP address. Session Directory allows disconnected sessions to be reconnected by using the username to look up the location of a disconnected session. Simply prolonging the session by increasing the disconnect and the idle timeout, or granting administrative rights, will have no effect on session routing; therefore, answers B, C and D are incorrect. See "Terminal Services Session Directory" in Chapter 11.

  36. C. Terminal Services in Remote Desktop for Administration mode supports only two concurrent connections, plus a console session. A new server has a 120-day grace period for client licenses; therefore, answer B is incorrect. Answer A is incorrect because the Session Directory is useful only for session routing among multiple Terminal Services servers. Any Terminal Services client can be used to connect to a Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services server, albeit with less functionality; therefore, answer D is incorrect. See "Using the Remote Desktop Connection Client" in Chapter 11.

  37. D. A common problem with Terminal Services involves connecting to the server with the older Terminal Services RDP 4.0 client instead of the RDC 5.0 client (included with Windows 2000) or the RDC 5.1 client (included with Windows XP or Windows Server 2003). The clients look and function in a similar manner; however, the advanced functionality that is enabled in RDC 5.0 and 5.1, such as audio support and keyboard mapping, is not available with the older Terminal Services 4.0 RDP clients. Session Directory allows disconnected sessions to be reconnected by using the username to look up the location of a disconnected session. It has no effect on audio; therefore, answer A is incorrect. Audio support is enabled, by default, and doesn't require the Citrix add-on; therefore, answers B and C are incorrect. See "Using the Remote Desktop Connection Client" in Chapter 11.

  38. D. New with Windows Server 2003 is the concept of user Client Access Licenses and device Client Access Licenses. These allow organizations additional license options. For example, if a Terminal Services user connects via multiple devices, such as an office PC, a home PC, and a handheld device, he would purchase a user license instead of a device license. PCs or other devices that support multiple users would require a device license; therefore, answers A, B, and C are incorrect. The standard TS CAL is only for Windows 2000 Terminal Services servers. See "Terminal Services Licensing" in Chapter 11.

  39. A. After a basic disk is converted to a dynamic disk, it can't be converted back to a basic disk. The only way to revert to using a basic disk is to back up the data, reinitialize the disk, repartition it, and restore the data; therefore, answers B, C, and D are incorrect. See "Introduction to Dynamic Disks" in Chapter 12.

  40. A. RAID-5 provides the best compromise between performance and fault tolerance; therefore, answers B and C are incorrect. RAID-3 is not supported by Windows Server 2003; therefore, answer D is incorrect. See "Introduction to Dynamic Disks" in Chapter 12.

  41. D. Except for security changes, Group Policies are not immediately applied. Windows Server 2003 uses the gpupdate command to apply policies immediately. Administrative privilege is not at issue because you logged in as a regular user to test the policy; therefore, answer A is incorrect. Policies are saved automatically as they are configured; therefore, answer B is incorrect. Previous versions of Windows used the secedit command; therefore, answer C is incorrect. See "Gpupdate" in Chapter 9 "Implementing Group Policy."

  42. A, D. If the Disk Queue Length is above 2, or the % Disk Time is a sustained 80% or better, the disk unit is the most likely bottleneck. Disk Seeks/Sec is not a good indicator of a bottleneck because you would need to correlate the results with the disk access time, and % Disk Queue is not a valid option; therefore, answers B and C are incorrect. See "Optimizing System Resources" in Chapter 14.

  43. A. The space available is 9GB. When a mirrored set is created, it is sized to be equivalent to the smallest volume; therefore, answers B, C, and D are incorrect. See "Implementing RAID Solutions" in Chapter 12.

  44. C. The space available is 54GB. When a RAID-5 array is created, it uses no more than the size of the smallest configured area on each volume. In addition, the equivalent of one volume is dedicated to storing parity information; therefore, answers A, B, and D are incorrect. See "Implementing RAID Solutions" in Chapter 12.

  45. A, D. If the Processor Queue Length is above 2, or the % Processor Time is a sustained 80% or better, the processor is the most likely bottleneck. % Processor Page Faults doesn't exist; therefore, answer B is incorrect. A high value for Processor Interrupts/Sec usually indicates a bad card or system device; therefore, answer C is incorrect. See "Optimizing System Resources" in Chapter 14.

  46. B. Although setting the process to AboveNormal, which is a priority 9, is better than Normal, which is an 8, the High setting has a priority 13. Therefore, answers A and C are incorrect. Priorities are not assigned via number; therefore, answer D is incorrect. See "Understanding Priority" in Chapter 14.

  47. B, C. The password complexity rules are rather involved, but require that the minimum length be six characters. Alternatively, you can set the Minimum Password Length policy to 1. This prevents users from attempting to use blank passwords. The options Password Length and Require Non-Blank Password do not exist; therefore, answers A and D are incorrect. See "Account Policies" in Chapter 16.

  48. C. The Security log is the place where the audit events are stored. Increasing the log-retention time might make things worse if the log is not set to overwrite old data; therefore, answer A is incorrect. There are no logs specifically named Audit or Event; therefore, answers B and D are incorrect. See "Configuring Log Properties" in Chapter 16.

  49. C, D. Windows for Workgroups and Linux clients are available only from third parties. Pocket PC devices and Apple Macintosh are supported, although you might have to download the client from Microsoft; therefore, answers A and B are incorrect. See "Using the Remote Desktop Client" in Chapter 11.

  50. A, B. When you install WSUS, by default it downloads multiple languages for the updates, resulting in updates that you probably don't need. In this scenario, we can reduce the bandwidth used by the synchronization by selecting only the required locales. This will avoid downloading and synchronizing multiple copies of the same updates, but in different languages. Because we have a hub and spoke network, configuration synchronizing with the central office server would provide the least amount of traffic over the 128K lines. Also, if you limit the transfer size, or limit the transfer time, you won't receive the larger patches. See "Windows Server Update Services" in Chapter 18.

  51. A. Enabling drive compression is the best solution. Typically, document files are good candidates for compression, and compressing them should free a large amount of space on the server. There is not a maximum setting for disk compressionit is either enabled or disabledso B is incorrect. Enabling disk quotas will help you limit the amount of space used by each user, but it will not free any space. Although defragging the files on your disk should improve performance, it will have no effect on the amount of free space available. See "Configuring NTFS File and Folder Compression" in Chapter 13.

  52. A. Because Mary is accessing the folder through a share, her permissions will be the more restrictive of the combined share and NTFS permissions. Modify is an NTFS permission, not a share permission, so B is incorrect. Answer C is incorrect because the Engineering group has more access than just Read. Answer D is incorrect because Mary is not a member of the Managers group, and their members are the only ones who have full control over the files. See "Combining Share and NTFS Permissions" in Chapter 4.

  53. C. If you share a printer with users running other versions of Windows (Windows 9x or Windows NT 3.5 and 4.0), you can install additional printer drivers on your computer so those users can connect to your printer without being prompted to install the drivers missing from their systems. Reinstalling the drivers wouldn't help because if the Windows 2000 and Windows XP clients are working, the drivers were installed correctly. Manually copying driver files to the folder will not install the drivers. Although manually installing the drivers on each machine would work, it would be a lot of effort, and not necessary because if you load the drivers on the print server, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000/2003/XPbased clients check the printer driver each time they connect to the printer. If the driver or the current version is not installed, a copy of the driver is downloaded automatically. See "Managing Printer Drivers" in Chapter 6.

  54. C. Configuring the printer in a printer pool will distribute the print jobs among all the printers in the pool. This should allow print jobs to be completed faster because all printers will be used. Configuring two logical printers with different priorities won't solve the issue because it just results in some print jobs and users having different priorities. Print auditing will not improve the speed of printing reports; it will only tell you who is doing the printing. Connecting the printers to the same print server will not improve the speed of printing reportsand in some cases, it might slow things down. See "Printer Pooling" in Chapter 7.

  55. D. Windows Server 2003, Web Edition 2003 is tuned for use as a web server. It cannot be used as a domain controller. There are no limitations on roles for the other versions. See "The Windows Server 2003 Family" in Chapter 1.

  56. D. The main purpose of the Post Setup Security Updates screen is to ensure that all your security patches are up to date before you allow your server to be exposed to your network or the Internet. This screen only appears on the first boot. It will not be available upon another boot or via the Start menu. See "Logging on to Windows Server 2003" in Chapter 1.

  57. B. By default, a Windows Server 2003 standalone server does not require a user to enter a complex password. However, for domain controllers, and servers and PCs that are members of a network, the password complexity policy is enabled by default.

    For a password to meet the complexity requirements, it must adhere to the following format:

    • It must not contain all or part of the username

    • It must be at least six characters long

    • It must contain characters from three of the following four categories:

      • Lowercase characters (a through z)

      • Numeric characters (0 through 9)

      • Nonalphabetic characters (i.e. !,@,#,$,%)

  58. C. In Windows Server 2003, the permissions for objects and their attributes are configured using the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. The other tools listed do not exist. See "Assigning Permissions to Active Directory Objects" in Chapter 8.

  59. C. Although the network administrator has very granular control over Active Directory objects, trying to keep up with and document the changes to specific attributes of unique objects can easily become a management nightmare. Assigning permissions manually through the Security tab, especially when assigning them to a user account, is not recommended. The proper way to accomplish this task is to assign the permissions to a group using the Delegation of Control Wizard. See "Assigning Permissions to Active Directory Objects" in Chapter 8.

  60. D. Usually, spooler problems can be corrected by stopping and restarting the Spooler service through the Services applet. If this fails to resolve the problem, check to make sure the spooler's host drive has at least 50MB of free space. If it doesn't, change the spool host drive and reboot the system. In some cases, a simple reboot corrects the spooler problem. In addition, sometimes it's necessary to delete the .SPL files from the spooler and restart; however, that will cause the users to resubmit their print jobs. Configuring the printer to use a TCP/IP port or increasing the priority won't correct the problem. See "Troubleshooting Printing Problems" in Chapter 7.
