Question 1
Single choice
In an Active Directory, which of the following represents a geographic location hosting networks?
A
Site
B
OU
C
Domain
D
Forest
Reveal answer detailsClose answer details
Correct answerA
Explanation
A site in Active Directory represents a geographic location hosting networks. Active Directory (AD) sites consist of well-connected networks defined by IP subnets that help define the physical structure of a user's Active Directory, and give the user control over replication traffic and authentication traffic. Because AD relies on IP, all LAN segments should have a defined IP subnet. This makes creating an AD straightforward; a user can simply group well-connected subnets to form a site.
Incorrect Answers: B: An organizational unit (OU) is a type of Active Directory object (or container) in which user accounts, groups, computers, printers, applications, file shares, and other organizational units within a single domain can be placed.
C: In the Windows environment, a domain is a set of network resources that are part of a network and share a common directory database. A domain is administered as a unit with common rules and procedures. Each domain has a unique name. Users just have to log on to a domain to access the network resources within it.
D: A forest is a collection of Windows domains that do not necessarily share a common namespace. Forests simplify the management of multiple domains. All domains within a forest share a common schema and Global Catalog. Resources can be shared among the domains in a forest.
Question 2
Single choice

Reveal answer detailsClose answer details
Correct answerB
Explanation
You should use the backup site management method. This method allows you to switch to the backup site while repairing the primary site. It is a very expensive solution and it is difficult to implement this solution properly.
Incorrect Answers: A: The near-line method is less accessible and less expensive than the on-line method. It is used to include a tape library with restore times ranging from seconds to a few minutes. C: The off-line method requires some direct human action to manually load tapes into a tape library or drive. Access time can vary from minutes to hours or days.

Question 24
Single choice
Which of the following hardware devices will you connect to the server in order to resist power outages or power fluctuations?
A
Hard disk
B
UPS
C
VHD
D
RAM
Reveal answer detailsClose answer details
Correct answerB
Explanation
In order to resist power outages or power fluctuations, you should connect UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to the server. UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) devices employ a large battery to provide power to a system in the event of a power outage. The amount of time it can continue to supply power to the system depends upon the size of the battery, and the power consumption. UPS is built into the system between the reader and the external power source. The reader is susceptible to power spikes (caused due to lightning strikes or generator variations). UPS keeps the readers running in case of a power failure and also protects them against unexpected power spikes. The UPS helps in keeping data, which may be in the random access memory (RAM) and not yet pushed up to the application, from being lost and the configuration is not wiped out. Incorrect Answers: A: A hard disk drive is a non-volatile storage device that stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating rigid platters with magnetic surfaces.
C: Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) is a file with a .vhd extension. This file acts as a separate hard disk. In the Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 operating system, Virtual hard disks can be created and used on computers that are not virtual machines.
D: Random Access Memory (RAM) is a chip that comes embedded within a computer. It is loaded by an operating system while starting the computer and it also copies an application to be run on the computer, such as a word processor or database program. Whenever a new program is created by a user, the program is temporarily held by RAM and copied to the disk to save the data permanently.

Which type of backup backs up only new and recently changed files since the last backup?
A
full backup
B
incremental backup
C
differential backup
D
copy backup
Reveal answer detailsClose answer details
Correct answerB
Explanation
Full backups with incremental backups start with a full backup followed by several incremental backups. For example, once a week, you would perform a full backup on Friday night, which shuts off the archive attribute indicating that the files were backed up. Then any new files or changed files would have the archive attribute turned on. You would then perform an incremental backup Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night, which only backs up new and changed files and shuts off the archive attribute.

Administrators can configure group policy settings for users as well as for computers in many ways. Group policies can be used to allow or restrict the access of a particular program by a particular user. It can also be used to configure the desktop, the Start menu, the taskbar, the Control Panel, and security settings among other things.
Incorrect Answers: A: NTFS permission allows an administrator to control which users and groups can access files and folders on an NTFS volume. B: An account policy controls the password expiration policy, the lockout policy, and other password features.

In an Active Directory, which of the following represents a geographic location hosting networks?
A.
Site
B.
OU
C.
Domain
D.
Forest
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
A site in Active Directory represents a geographic location hosting networks. Active Directory (AD) sites consist of well-connected networks defined by IP subnets that help define the physical structure of a user's Active Directory, and give the user control over replication traffic and authentication traffic. Because AD relies on IP, all LAN segments should have a defined IP subnet. This makes creating an AD straightforward; a user can simply group well-connected subnets to form a site.
Incorrect Answers: B: An organizational unit (OU) is a type of Active Directory object (or container) in which user accounts, groups, computers, printers, applications, file shares, and other organizational units within a single domain can be placed.
C: In the Windows environment, a domain is a set of network resources that are part of a network and share a common directory database. A domain is administered as a unit with common rules and procedures. Each domain has a unique name. Users just have to log on to a domain to access the network resources within it.
D: A forest is a collection of Windows domains that do not necessarily share a common namespace. Forests simplify the management of multiple domains. All domains within a forest share a common schema and Global Catalog. Resources can be shared among the domains in a forest.

Which of the following hardware devices will you connect to the server in order to resist power outages or power fluctuations?
A.
Hard disk
B.
UPS
C.
VHD
D.
RAM
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
In order to resist power outages or power fluctuations, you should connect UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to the server. UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) devices employ a large battery to provide power to a system in the event of a power outage. The amount of time it can continue to supply power to the system depends upon the size of the battery, and the power consumption. UPS is built into the system between the reader and the external power source. The reader is susceptible to power spikes (caused due to lightning strikes or generator variations). UPS keeps the readers running in case of a power failure and also protects them against unexpected power spikes. The UPS helps in keeping data, which may be in the random access memory (RAM) and not yet pushed up to the application, from being lost and the configuration is not wiped out. Incorrect Answers: A: A hard disk drive is a non-volatile storage device that stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating rigid platters with magnetic surfaces.
C: Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) is a file with a .vhd extension. This file acts as a separate hard disk. In the Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 operating system, Virtual hard disks can be created and used on computers that are not virtual machines.
D: Random Access Memory (RAM) is a chip that comes embedded within a computer. It is loaded by an operating system while starting the computer and it also copies an application to be run on the computer, such as a word processor or database program. Whenever a new program is created by a user, the program is temporarily held by RAM and copied to the disk to save the data permanently.
