Which tools can you use to manage Exchange Server 2016?
The Exchange Management Shell and the Exchange Admin Center are the two main tools for managing Exchange Server.
When would you want or need to create multiple databases?
Often, organizations create databases to separate users in different departments or geographical regions, or users that require different service levels. Maintaining a database at a manageable size also is important.
What type of information do domains in a forest share?
All domains in a forest share the same Active Directory configuration information, Active Directory schema information, and a common global catalog.
Which Active Directory partition would you expect to contain the following information?
User’s e-mail address
Exchange connector
Exchange Server configuration
User’s e-mail address: Answer – Domain partition or global catalog.
Exchange connector for sending e-mail to the Internet: Answer – Configuration partition.
Exchange Server configuration: Answer – The configuration partition contains the Exchange Server-specific configuration information, but the Exchange Server computer object is also located in the domain partition.
The installation of Exchange Server 2016 fails. What information sources can you use to troubleshoot the issue?
The two most important sources of information are the error message that displays when the installation fails, and the setup logs. A third option is to review the server’s event logs.
What happens to the database’s status when you move the database files?
When you move database files, the database is taken offline. This causes the database to be unavailable, which means that end users cannot send and receive e-mail until the database is online again.
What customizations can you make on mailbox databases?
Mailbox database-configuration options include mailbox limits, maintenance schedules and client settings.
Your organization would like to automate creation of user mailboxes for employees based on their status in your organization’s human-resources system. What can you use to perform this automation?
The Exchange Management Shell provides an interface for scripting administrative tasks, such as user creation and modification.
Your organization wants to reduce administrative costs. One suggestion is to give department heads and administrative assistants the necessary access to manage departmental and project-based groups. What can you use to accomplish this task?
You can use the EAC (Exchange Admin center) and appropriate RBAC permissions to enable nontechnical personnel to manage groups.
What are the various recipient types in Exchange Server?
Exchange Server 2016 includes the following recipient types:
* User mailboxes
* Mail users or mail-enabled Active Directory directory service users
* Resource mailboxes
* Mail contact or mail-enabled contacts
* Mail-enabled security and distribution groups
* Dynamic distribution groups
* Linked mailboxes
* Shared mailboxes
* Site mailboxes
* Public folder mailboxes
How is a mail-enabled contact different from a mail-enabled user?
A mail-enabled contact does not have an Active Directory user account. This is used for people outside your organization that you want to include in the GAL.
Why would you configure mailbox size limits on individual mailboxes?
By configuring mailbox size limits, you can override the mailbox database defaults for specific users. Typically, this enables a specific user to have a higher storage limit than other users, when necessary.
What is the difference between Send on behalf of and Send As permissions?
Send As permissions allow you to impersonate another user. Send on behalf of permissions indicates that you are responding for that person.
: How does your organization use resource mailboxes?
Many organizations need resource mailboxes to facilitate room bookings.
What attributes are useful for your resource mailboxes?
You can use resource capacity to specify the maximum number of people a room can hold. Other properties will vary by the equipment type.
When would you use mail-enabled contacts?
You can use mail-enabled contacts to display a trusted partner or contract employee in the company address list or add them to a distribution group. You also can use mail-enabled contacts to forward e-mail from a local mailbox to a remote mail account.
When would your organization use distribution groups?
Many organizations create distribution groups for each department and for each special project.
What are the reasons for creating multiple address lists?
Although the answers may vary, common reasons are:
* Geographic organization. If a company has multiple physical locations, address lists could be based on country, state, city, or building.
* Departmental organization. A large company may want to create separate address lists for departments, such as accounting, marketing, or sales.
* Recipient type organization. To make booking meeting rooms easier, you might organize room mailboxes by physical location.
How would you give access to allow a user to send messages from another mailbox, without giving them access to the contents of the mailbox?
Assign the user Send As permissions to the mailbox.
What are the various message-flow scenarios?
: There are four message-flow scenarios:
Inbound mail flow. Refers to e-mail that comes into an Exchange Server 2016 organization from the Internet.
Outbound mail flow. Refers to e-mail that travels from an Exchange Server 2016 organization to the Internet.
Local mail flow. Refers to e-mail that a Hub Transport server processes in an Exchange Server 2016 organization and then delivers to a mailbox on the same Active Directory® Domain Services (AD DS) site.
Remote mail flow. Refers to e-mail that a Hub Transport server processes in an Exchange Server 2016 organization and then delivers to a mailbox on a different Active Directory site from the source mailbox.
What would you need to configure to enable outbound Internet e-mail from your exchange organization location?
You need to configure a SMTP send connector
When might you choose to initiate a database switchover?
You can initiate database switchovers to move databases off a DAG member for maintenance tasks, such as applying software updates.
What backup options can you use to recover a single mailbox?
You can recover a deleted mailbox using deleted mailbox retention. However, if the deleted mailbox is older than your deleted mailbox-retention setting, you need to use a recovery database to restore the mailbox.
Which Exchange Server 2016 technology would you use to create a database backup at a remote site?
You can use DAGs to create a database backup at a remote site.
In Exchange Server 2016, what are the options to recover mailbox data, databases, and servers?
Exchange Server 2016 has the following options to recover mailbox data, databases, and servers:
- Item recovery
- Database restore
- Recovery database
- Database portability
- Dial-tone recovery
- Server recovery
- DAG recovery
- Database corruption recovery
The following example retrieves a list of all the users, filters only users that are located in the Sales organizational unit (OU), and then mail-enables the users:
Get-User | Where-Object {$_.distinguishedname –ilike “*ou=sales,dc=contoso,dc=com”} | Enable-Mailbox -database “Mailbox Database 1”
