| Question 1 | You are preparing to implement a highly available Exchange Server 2003 implementation using clustering. You are considering using the active/active clustering mode. What is the minimum and maximum number of Exchange servers you will be able to cluster using this mode? A. Minimum: 1, Maximum: 8 B. Minimum: 1, Maximum: 2 C. Minimum: 2, Maximum: 8 D. Minimum: 2, Maximum: 2
|
| A1: | Answer D is correct. When you use the active/active cluster mode, you can have only (exactly) two Exchange Server 2003 nodes in the cluster, thus answers A, B, and C are all incorrect. Active/active clustering is not the preferred mode of clustering Exchange servers because it provides reduced capability and reliability as compared to active/passive clustering. Using Exchange Server 2003 on Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition or Datacenter Server Edition, you can cluster up to eight nodes using active/passive clustering. |
| Question 2 | You are preparing to implement a highly available Exchange Server 2003 implementation using clustering. You are considering using the active/active clustering mode. What is the maximum number of mailboxes that you should consider placing on each node of the active/active cluster? A. 1,500 B. 1,900 C. 2,400 D. 2,900
|
| A2: | Answer B is correct. Because an active/active cluster has only one server to fail over and both nodes are running an Exchange virtual server (EVS), you must not place more than 1,900 mailboxes on each node to prevent the single remaining node from failing due to overloading after failover has occurred, thus answers A, C, and D are incorrect. |
| Question 3 | Christopher needs to back up the contents of a data folder on his server, but he does not have a tape drive. What other media can he use with Windows Backup? |
| A3: | Answer B is correct. In addition to tape drives, Windows Backup can store to any local or network drive. Answers A, C, and D are incorrect because only the floppy disk is a valid choice. |
| Question 4 | You are the network backup administrator. You have been tasked by the senior Exchange administrator to create and implement a backup plan for your company's new Exchange Server organization. Users in your organization work two shifts Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. No workers are present normally on Saturdays and Sundays. You are concerned about the length of time it takes to perform backups during the week because you don't want backups to still be running in the morning when users come to work again. You want to be able to restore your backup from the fewest amount of tapes possible while still meeting your requirement to finish the backup as quickly as possible on Tuesday through Friday mornings. What type of backup plan should you implement? A. Full backup each day Tuesday through Saturday after the second shift leaves B. Full backup on Saturday morning after the second shift leaves; incremental backup each day Tuesday through Friday morning after the second shift leaves C. Full backup on Saturday morning after the second shift leaves; differential backup each day Tuesday through Friday morning after the second shift leaves D. Copy backup each day Tuesday through Saturday after the second shift leaves
|
| A4: | Answer C is correct. In this scenario, you have to identify all of the requirements present. The first requirement is that you must not impact user access to mailboxes due to a running backup process. The second requirement is that you must use the least amount of backup tapes possible to perform a restoration. The last requirement is they want backups to take the least time possible each morning. With these requirements, the best solution is to configure a full backup to run on Saturday morning with a differential backup running Tuesday through Friday mornings. The differential backups will take progressively longer throughout the week, but offer the advantage of only requiring the most recent full backup and the most recent differential backup tape when performing the restoration. This also allows you to perform a relatively quick restoration. Answer A is incorrect; performing full backups each night will likely take too long, resulting in the backup process still running when workers come back to work in the morning. Answer B is incorrect; using incremental backups with a full backup will result in five sets of tapes being required (for this scenario) as you will have one for the full backup and one for each night of the incremental backup. This results in the longest restoration process. Answer D is incorrect; performing a copy backup offers no value in the Exchange organization because the transaction logs are not backed up or cleared from the server. |
| Question 5 | You are the network backup administrator. You have been tasked by the senior Exchange administrator to create and implement a backup plan for your company's new Exchange Server organization. Your Exchange organization has a large number of daily transactions and creates large amounts of transaction logs. Your backup plan needs to purge transaction logs that have been committed to the database. In addition, your backup plan needs to minimize the time required to perform the backup during the week. There is no restriction on how long the backup takes during the weekend or after the end of the workday on Friday. What type of backup plan should you implement? A. Full backup each day B. Full backup Friday night; incremental backup each night, Monday through Thursday C. Full backup Friday night; differential backup each night, Monday through Thursday D. Copy backup each day
|
| A5: | Answer B is correct. The full backup with incremental backup plan meets both requirements that you have in this scenario. This backup plan will purge all transaction logs from the server that have been committed to the server. In addition, this backup plan requires the least amount of time to perform backups during the week when only the incremental backups are being performed. Answer A is incorrect; full backups only meet the requirement to purge committed transaction logs they are not the quickest solution on a daily basis. Answer C is incorrect; differential backups do not purge committed transaction logs. Answer D is incorrect; copy backups do not back up or purge transaction logs. |
| Question 6 | You are preparing to implement a highly available Exchange Server 2003 implementation using clustering on Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition servers. You are considering using the active/passive clustering mode. What is the minimum and maximum number of Exchange servers you will be able to cluster using this mode? A. Minimum: 1, Maximum: 8 B. Minimum: 1, Maximum: 2 C. Minimum: 2, Maximum: 8 D. Minimum: 2, Maximum: 2
|
| A6: | Answer C is correct. When clustering Exchange Server 2003 on Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition or Datacenter Server Edition, you can have up to eight cluster nodes in an active/passive cluster. Answers A and B are incorrect; you must have at least two total nodes in the cluster, one active and one passive. Answer D is incorrect; the active/active cluster mode allows only exactly two cluster nodes. |
| Question 7 | You have implemented an online backup strategy for your Exchange Server 2003 computers using a full backup with differential backup plan. Full backups are performed on Friday night and differential backups are performed Monday through Thursday nights. The power failed early Wednesday morning and now several users complain they cannot access their mailboxes on one of your Exchange servers. You have verified that the server itself has restarted properly and all services are running. Users on other mailboxes on the server report no issues. How many backup tapes will you require to perform a restoration of the mailbox store that is damaged? A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
|
| A7: | Answer B is correct. When you use a full backup with differential backup strategy, you require only the most recent full backup tape and the most recent differential backup tape to perform the restoration, thus answers A, C, and D are incorrect. |
| Question 8 | You are the network backup administrator. You have been tasked by the senior Exchange administrator to create and implement a backup plan for your company's new Exchange Server organization. You plan to use a dedicated Windows Server 2003 computer to perform the backups using the Windows Backup utility. You need to prepare this computer to perform the Exchange Server backups. How can you do this with the minimum amount of administrative work? A. Install Exchange Server 2003 on the backup server. B. Manually modify the Registry of the backup server. C. Copy the esebcli2.dll file to the backup server. D. Install the Exchange System Manager on the backup server.
|
| A8: | Answer D is correct. The easiest way to prepare the backup server to use Windows Backup to perform Exchange backups is to install the Exchange System Manager on it. Answer A is incorrect; you can achieve the same result by installing Exchange Server 2003 on the backup server, but this is a much more intensive (and lengthy) process. Answers B and C are incorrect; your third option to prepare the backup server to perform backups on Exchange using the Windows Backup utility requires that you both copy the esebcli2.dll file to the backup server from the Exchange CD-ROM and perform a manual edit of the server Registry. |
| Question 9 | What advantage does performing restorations using the recovery storage group provide you? (Choose all that apply.) A. It allows you to restore mailbox stores with a minimum of user interruption. B. It allows you to have five production storage groups on each of your Exchange servers. C. It allows you to restore mailbox stores from multiple storage groups simultaneously. D. It allows you to restore multiple mailbox stores from a single storage group simultaneously. E. It allows you to restore public folders.
|
| A9: | Answers A and D are correct. The recovery storage group, a new feature in Exchange Server 2003, allows you to restore multiple mailbox stores from a single storage group while minimizing the impact on user access to the mailbox stores being restored. Answer B is incorrect; Exchange Server 2003 allows a maximum of four production storage groups and the single recovery storage group. Answer C is incorrect; you cannot restore mailbox stores from multiple storage groups simultaneously. Answer E is incorrect; the recovery storage group cannot be used to restore public folders. |
| Question 10 | Deanna needs to back up critical data on her server. However, she does not have enough backup tapes to back up everything on her server. She wants to make sure that, in addition to the user data she is backing up, she backs up the Registry on her server. What should Deanna select in addition to the data files that she wants to back up? A. C: B. System state C. My Documents D. My Computer
|
| A10: | Answer B is correct. To back up (and, hence, recover) the Registry, you must back up the system state information for a local server. Answers A, C, and D are incorrect; the only way to ensure that the Registry is backed up is to back up the system state data. |
