Question #11
Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com.
The forest contains two domains named contoso.com and child.contoso.com and two sites named Site1 and Site2. The domains and the sites are configured as shown in following table.

When the link between Site1 and Site2 fails, users fail to log on to Site2.
You need to identify what prevents the users in Site2 from logging on to the child.contoso.com domain.
What should you identify?

When the link between Site1 and Site2 fails, users fail to log on to Site2.
You need to identify what prevents the users in Site2 from logging on to the child.contoso.com domain.
What should you identify?
- AThe placement of the infrastructure master
- BThe placement of the global catalog server
- CThe placement of the domain naming master
- DThe placement of the PDC emulator
Correct Answer:
B
User logon. In a forest that has more than one domain, two conditions require the global catalog during user authentication:
In a domain that operates at the Windows 2000 native domain functional level or higher, domain controllers must request universal group membership enumeration from a global catalog server. When a user principal name (UPN) is used at logon and the forest has more than one domain, a global catalog server is required to resolve the name.

Question #12
Your network contains an Active Directory forest that contains two domains. The forest contains five domain controllers.
The domain controllers are configured as shown in the following table.

You need to configure DC5 as a global catalog server.
Which tool should you use?
The domain controllers are configured as shown in the following table.

You need to configure DC5 as a global catalog server.
Which tool should you use?
- AActive Directory Administrative Center
- BActive Directory Users and Computers
- CActive Directory Sites and Services
- DActive Directory Domains and Trusts
Correct Answer:
C
Active Directory Sites and Services can be used to Add or remove the global catalog read-only directory partitions from a domain controller in the site. Confirm that all read-only directory partitions have been replicated to the new global catalog server. As well as verify that the global catalog server is being advertised in
Domain Name System (DNS).

Question #13
Your network contains an Active Directory forest. The forest contains a single domain named contoso.com. The domain contains four domain controllers.
The domain controllers are configured as shown in the following table.

All domain controllers are DNS servers.
You plan to deploy a new domain controller named DC5 in the contoso.com domain.
You need to identify which domain controller must be online to ensure that DC5 can be promoted successfully to a domain controller.
Which domain controller should you identify?

You plan to deploy a new domain controller named DC5 in the contoso.com domain.
You need to identify which domain controller must be online to ensure that DC5 can be promoted successfully to a domain controller.
Which domain controller should you identify?
- ADC1
- BDC2
- CDC3
- DDC4
Correct Answer:
D
Relative ID (RID) Master:
Allocates active and standby RID pools to replica domain controllers in the same domain (corp.contoso.com) Must be online for newly promoted domain controllers to obtain a local RID pool that is required to advertise or when existing domain controllers have to update their current or standby RID pool allocation.
The RID master is responsible for processing RID pool requests from all domain controllers in a particular domain. When a DC creates a security principal object such as a user or group, it attaches a unique Security ID (SID) to the object.
This SID consists of a domain SID (the same for all SIDs created in a domain), and a relative ID (RID) that is unique for each security principal SID created in a domain. Each DC in a domain is allocated a pool of RIDs that it is allowed to assign to the security principals it creates. When a DC's allocated RID pool falls below a threshold, that DC issues a request for additional RIDs to the domain's RID master. The domain RID master responds to the request by retrieving RIDs from the domain's unallocated RID pool and assigns them to the pool of the requesting DC.
At any one time, there can be only one domain controller acting as the RID master in the domain.

The Infrastructure Master -
-The purpose of this role is to ensure that cross-domain object references are correctly handled. For example, if you add a user from one domain to a security group from a different domain, the Infrastructure Master makes sure this is done properly.
As you can guess however, if your Active Directory deployment has only a single domain, then the Infrastructure Master role does no work at all, and even in a multi-domain environment it is rarely used except when complex user administration tasks are performed, so the machine holding this role doesn't need to have much horsepower at all.

Question #15
You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012.
You promote Server1 to a domain controller.
You need to view the service location (SRV) records that Server1 registers in DNS.
What should you do on Server1?

You need to view the service location (SRV) records that Server1 registers in DNS.
What should you do on Server1?
- AOpen the Netlogon.dns file.
- BRun ipconfig /displaydns.
- CRun Get-DnsServerDiagnostics.
- DOpen the SrC. sys file.
Correct Answer:
A
Netlogon.dns - If you are using non-Microsoft DNS servers to support Active Directory, you can verify SRV locator resource records by viewing Netlogon.dns.
Netlogon.dns is located in the %systemroot%\System32\Config folder. You can use a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad, to view this file.
The first record in the file is the domain controller's Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) SRV record.

Question #16
Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two member servers named Server1 and Server2. All servers run
Windows Server 2012 R2.
Server1 and Server2 have the Failover Clustering feature installed. The servers are configured as nodes in a failover cluster named Cluster1. Cluster1 contains a cluster disk resource.
A developer creates an application named App1. App1 is NOT a cluster-aware application. App1 runs as a service. App1 stores date on the cluster disk resource.
You need to ensure that App1 runs in Cluster1. The solution must minimize development effort.
Which cmdlet should you run?

- AAdd-ClusterGenericServiceRole
- BAdd ClusterGenericApplicationRole
- CAdd ClusterScaleOutFileServerRole
- DAdd-ClusterServerRole
Correct Answer:
A
The questions says "...App1 runs as a service"
"Configure high availability for a service that was not originally designed to run in a failover cluster."
If you run an application as a Generic Application, the cluster software will start the application, then periodically query the operating system to see whether the application appears to be running. If so, it is presumed to be online, and will not be restarted or failed over

Using WinRS -
You can use WinRS to administer a Server Core installation remotely from the command line. WinRS is a command-line tool included in both Windows Vista and the Full installation of Windows Server 2008, which relies on Windows Remote Management (WinRM) to execute remote commands, especially for headless servers. WinRM is Microsoft's implementation of the WS-Management protocol, a standard Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)-based, firewall-friendly protocol that enables hardware and operating systems from different vendors to interoperate. You can think of WinRM as the server side and WinRS the client side of WSManagement.[...]
Using WinRS to Administer Server Core in a Domain
The basic syntax for WinRS commands is as follows:
winrs -r:target command where target is the name (NetBIOS or FQDN) of the Server Core installation that has had WinRM enabled on it, and command is any command string that you want to execute on the Server Core installation. For example, to use WinRS to enable Remote Desktop remotely on a Server Core installation named SEA-SC2, type the following command on any computer running Windows Vista or on a Full installation of Windows Server 2008:winrs -r:SEA-
SC2 cscript %WINDIR%\system32\scregedit.wsf /ar 0
