Exam Prep Questions

1.

A DHCP server is running on your network. The range of IP addresses within the scope far exceeds the number of DHCP clients on the network. However, you notice that the number of IP address lease requests is very high. You need to determine the cause of the problem. What should you do first?

	A.	Check the Event Viewer for any DHCP-related messages.
	B.	Verify that the lease duration isn't configured with a low value.

4.

You are the network administrator for your company. Servers are running Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Client computers are running Windows XP Professional.

A DHCP server is used to assign IP addresses to clients and member servers on the network. Three of the member servers are configured as file servers. You need to ensure that these file servers lease the same IP address from the DHCP server. What should you do?

5.

You are the network administrator for your organization. Servers are running Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Client computers are running Microsoft Windows XP Professional.

You have recently deployed a DHCP server to centralize the administration of all IP addresses on the network. Before this, IP addresses were all manually configured. All users are successfully leasing IP addresses, but they now report that they can no longer print to the network interface printers. Upon examining the printers' properties, you notice they have been assigned incorrect IP addresses. What should you have done?

	A.	Defined separate scopes for each of the print devices
	B.	Created client reservations for the print devices
	C.	Excluded the IP addresses of the print devices from the scope
	D.	Created client exclusions for the print devices

6.

Your network consists of multiple subnets connected by routers. You have finished installing a Windows Server 2003 DHCP server. You create the necessary scopes and configure the 003 router option to assign all clients the IP address of their local router. All clients successfully lease an IP address. However, you soon discover that users on Subnet A are the only ones capable of communicating outside their local subnet. What could be causing the problem?

	A.	All the scopes have not yet been activated.
	B.	The DHCP option is configured at the server level.
	C.	The DHCP server has not yet been authorized.
	D.	The 003 router option must first be activated.

7.

You are the network administrator for your company. All servers are running Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Client computers are running Microsoft XP Professional.

Several DHCP servers are being deployed in different domains throughout the forest. You want give another administrator the ability to authorize the DHCP servers. What should you do?

	A.	Add the user to the DNSUpdateProxy group.
	B.	Add the user to the Enterprise Admins group.
	C.	Add the user to the Domain Admins group.
	D.	Add the user to the local Administrators group on each DHCP server.

8.

You are a junior network administrator. One of your tasks is to maintain a newly installed DHCP server. The scopes have not yet been created. The senior administrator documents all the required scopes and asks you to create them on the server. You notice that several DHCP options are to be configured, but it is not specified what type of scope options to configure. You are trying to recall how scope options are applied. Which of the following correctly lists the order in which they are applied to clients?

	A.	Server, scope, class, client
	B.	Server, class, scope, client
	C.	Server, scope, client, class
	D.	Scope, server, client, class

9.

You are the network administrator for your organization. The DHCP servers are running Microsoft Windows Server 2003.

Your network supports three UNIX servers that provide name-resolution services. You have manually configured these three servers with IP addresses. All other member servers and client computers are DHCP clients. You want to avoid any IP address conflicts on the network. What should you do?

	A.	Configure client reservations for the three UNIX servers.
	B.	Exclude the three IP addresses from the scope.
	C.	Place the UNIX servers on a separate subnet.
	D.	Create a superscope for the three IP addresses.

10.

You are the network administrator for your company. Servers are running Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Client computers have been upgraded to Windows XP Professional.

The network is divided into two subents. Each subnet hosts a DHCP server. You want to increase the fault tolerance so clients can obtain an IP address even if the local DHCP server is unavailable. What should you do?

	A.	Configure replication to occur between the two DHCP servers.
	B.	Nothing needs to be done because DHCP servers on the same network share scope information to provide fault tolerance.
	C.	Configure each server with a range of IP addresses for both subnets.
	D.	Configure all clients with the IP address of both DHCP servers.

11.

You are the network administrator for your company. Servers are running Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Client computers have been upgraded to Windows XP Professional.

You are planning the subnet configuration for the network. The network currently needs to support 12 subnets with 12 hosts per subnet. The number of subnets is expected to reach 16 within the next year. You need to choose a subnet mask that will support this configuration. What should you do?

	A.	Use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.192.
	B.	Use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.224.
	C.	Use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.240.
	D.	Use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.248

12.

You are the network administrator for a medium-sized company. The company is in the process of upgrading the existing network infrastructure. Servers are now running Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Client computers are still running Microsoft Windows 95 and configured with static IP addresses.

You have been instructed to implement dynamic IP addressing. You install Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol on a Windows Server 2003 server. The server is authorized and a scope is created and activated. Most of the client computers are configured for dynamic IP addressing.

You soon receive reports from a few users that there are IP address conflicts on the network. You do not know the specific IP addresses within the scope range that are still used for static IP addressing. You need to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.

What should you do?

	A.	Increase the number of conflict detection attempts.
	B.	Exclude the IP address from the DHCP scope.
	C.	Create a client reservation for the client computers with static IP addresses.
	D.	Change the start and end IP addresses for the scope.
