DHCP servers can also give out default route instructions and other configuration information to clients upon request.

73
Q

What are the three ways that DNS information can be stored on a DNS Server?

A

Traditional Zone Files
Active Directory-integrated Zones
Aplication Partitions

74
Q

What does a WINS Server do?

Q

What do Network Policy and Access Services do?

A

Provide protection, routing, and remote-access services for remote users to the network.

76
Q

What would you use a Hyper-V server for?

What would you do with a remote destop services server?

A

You’d use it to host remote desktop sessions by combining the service with Hyper-V.

80
Q

Can one server have multiple server roles?

A

Yes absolutely. A webserver and an app server could be the same box.

81
Q

What must you do before you can start installing Active Directory?

A

Configure your DNS domain structure. AD domains are based on DNS domains.

82
Q

Q

What does OU stand for?

A

Organizational Unit. These are container inside of AD Domains. They can contain related users, groups, computers, or other OUs.

85
Q

What are domain trusts?

A

They allow automatic authentication and access to resources across domains and automatically configure each domain to trust all other domains in their tree and forrest.

86
Q

What can make authentication requests on a domain go faster?

A

Having an “explicit trust relationship” This allows authentication queries to got directly to the domain in question rather than having to search the domain tree or forrest to locate the domain in which to authenticate a user.

87
Q

If an AD domain is running in Windows Server 2003 mode, will it support a Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller?

A

Yes. It will support any domain controller that is Windows Server 2003 and later, however only features available in Windows Server 2003 will be supported. The same is true for each of the different modes (ex. 2008, 2008R2, 2012)

88
Q

A

No. Changes are one way.

89
Q

What are the Active Directory Server roles?

A 
Operations Masters
Forest-Level Operations Masters
Domain-Level Operations Masters
Global Catalogs
Bridgehead Servers
90
Q

What does an Active Directory Operations Master server do?

A

Stores the instructions of a specific type of operation and ensures that the rest of the organization has a single point to pull these instructions from.

91
Q

What does a schema master server do?

A

Stores the Schema Master and enforces schema consistency throughout the organization. Changes to the schema can only be made on that server and if that server is down, no changes can be made.

92
Q

What does the domain naming master control?

A

It controlls domain creation and deletion guaranteeing that each domain is unique within the forrest. This is an example of a forrest level operation master.

93
Q

What does RID stand for?

A

Relative Identifier. It is a numeric string used to construct SIDs for security principals.

94
Q

What does the RID master do?

A

Manages the pool of RIDs.

95
Q

What does an infrastructure master do?

A

Handles user-to-group mappings, changes in group membership, and repication of those changes to other domain controllers. This is an example of a domain level operations master.

96
Q

What does the PDC emulator do?

A

Processes password changes and replicates the changes to other domain controllers. It resets and verifies external trusts.

97
Q

What is a global catalog?

A

An index of AD objects used by network clients to locate the objects. It also provides membership information for universal groups.

98
Q

What is an alternative to having one Global Catalog per site (which is typically necessary due to the need for the Global Catalog to be highly available for logins)?

A

Having a Windows Server 2003 or later domain controller with universal group caching enabled.

99
Q

What does a Bridgehead server do?

A

Manages intersite replication over low-bandwidth WAN links.

100
