    a) applications
    b) application pools
    c) sites
    d) virtual directories
A

Answer: b) application pools

Difficulty: Hard
Section Reference: Exploring Applications and Application Pools
Explanation: An application pool is a set of resources (a worker process or a set of worker processes) used by a website or application that defines the memory boundaries for the site. Forcing each application to have its own application pool ensures that one site does not interfere with another site on the same server, which ensures application performance and improved application availability. Therefore, if one application has a memory leak or crashes, it will not affect the other sites.

Q

Competency AssessmentScenario 7-1: Allowing Work from HomeYou just started working as a system administrator for the Acme Corporation. Your company decides that as a benefit to its employees, some employees can work from home one day a week. Explain what can you do to help make this happen, what key technology you would use, and how would you configure it.

A

The primary technology you will need to use is to VPN. Therefore, you will need to install a remote access server on a computer running Windows Server 2008. You should configure L2TP with IPSec for the best security. You will then have to configure the client computers to access the remote access server. In addition, depending on the applications that the user needs to access, he will use the applications on his laptop computer or he will have to use remote desktop to access servers or client computers within the organization.

49
Q

NOTE

Three types of tunneling protocols used with a VPN/RAS on W2K8 server include:

  • Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP):
  • Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP):
  • Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP):
A
  • (PPTP): A VPN protocol based on the legacy Point-to-Point protocol used with modems. Unfortunately, PPTP is easy to set up but is considered to use weak encryption technology.
  • (L2TP): Used with IPSec to provide security. L2TP is the industry standard when setting up secure tunnels.
  • (SSTP): Introduced with Windows Server 2008, which users the HTTPS protocol over TCP port 443 to pass traffic through firewalls and web proxies that might block PPTP and L2TP/IPSec.
49
Q

Competency AssessmentScenario 7-2: Isolating Server ApplicationsYou have two network applications—a network accounting application and a network HR application—that are not processor hungry. Both of these applications must be kept totally isolated, and both will access a centralized database server. What do you recommend?

A

Some advantages of using virtual servers include isolating server applications and utilizing computer resource more efficiently. Therefore, you should use create two virtual servers on a single physical server. Although the applications will access a centralized database server, the applications themselves will run on the individual servers, keeping them totally isolated.

50
Q

NOTE
W2k8-VPNs support the following forms of authentication on W2K8 server:

  • Password Authentication Protocol (PAP):
  • Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP):
  • Microsoft CHAP version 2 (MS-CHAP v2):
  • Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP-MS-CHAPv2):
A

W2k8-VPNs support the following forms of authentication:
• Password Authentication Protocol (PAP):
Uses plain text (unencrypted passwords).
PAP is the least secure authentication and is not recommended.

• Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP):
A challenge-response authentication that uses the industry standard md5
hashing scheme to encrypt the response.

• Microsoft CHAP version 2 (MS-CHAP v2):
Provides two-way authentication (mutual authentication).
MS-CHAP v2 provides stronger security than CHAP.

• Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP-MS-CHAPv2):
A universal authentication framework for custom authentication;
retinal scans, voice recognition, fingerprint identifications, smart cards,
Kerberos, and digital certificates.
Provides a mutual authentication method that supports password-based user
or computer authentication.
