  1. A and D. A hard disk can contain up to three primary partitions and one extended partition. You do not format an extended partition. Instead you divide the extended partition into logical drives that are formatted and assigned a drive letter. Extended partitions can be created only on basic disks.
  2. A and B. When converting a system or boot partition to NTFS, the computer must be restarted.
  3. C. FAT32 supports a maximum partition size of 32 GB. NTFS supports up to 2 TB.
  4. A and E. A spanned volume combines free space from multiple drives into a single logical volume. However, if one disk fails in the volume, all data in the volume is lost. A striped set combines free space from two or more disks into a single volume. Data is written evenly across all disks in the striped volume. However, if one disk fails, all data in the striped volume is lost.
  5. C. Disk duplexing is mirroring the content of one drive to another using a second hard disk controller. It provides fault tolerance for a failed hard drive and for a failed disk controller.
  6. B. You can combine the free space on the three new 4 GB hard drives into a RAID-5 volume into a 12 GB volume.
  7. B. Hardware listed in the HCL indicates that the driver has been tested by Microsoft. Because the network card is new, the required drivers are not included with Windows. You must download the appropriate driver from the network card manufacturer’s Web site.
  8. D. The command sfc /quiet replaces the incorrect system file with the correct file version from Microsoft without prompting the user.
  9. D. Printer drivers cannot be rolled back. You must manually install the older drivers.
  10. D. Drivers for multifunction devices can berolled back. However, you must rollback each driver separately.
  11. C. A user name can be up to 20 characters in length and may contain uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers.
  12. C. A UPN consists of the user name, the at sign (@), and the domain name.
  13. A. The Title field is not copied to the new account.
  14. C. The user account should be disabled while the user is on leave. This prevents anyone from trying to access the account. Because the user will be returning, the account should not be deleted.
  15. B. The Server Operators group does not have permissions to modify any user account properties, including enabling or disabling user accounts.
  16. B and E. In native functional level, global groups can contain user accounts and global groups from the same domain as the global group.
  17. A, B, C, and D. A universal group can contain any user account, computer account, domain local group, and universal group from any domain in the forest.
  18. A. Local groups cannot be created on domain controllers because they do not maintain a separate local security database. All groups on a domain controller are stored in Active Directory.
  19. C. The DSGET command can be used to list group memberships for a specific user. For example, the command dsget user jdoe –memberof displays a list of group memberships for the user JDOE.
  20. B and C. Global groups are used for organizing user or computer accounts within a domain. Local groups cannot be used for assigning access to a resource that is located on the local computer.
  21. B. When a folder is shared, the Everyone group is granted Read permission by default. This can be changed at any time.
  22. E. All are administrative shares that are created during the Windows Server 2003 installation. The FAX$ is used to cache temp files and cover pages.
  23. B and D. By default, only members of the Server Operators and Administrators groups have the ability to share folders on a domain controller.
  24. B. The Deny permission overrides all permission assigned to a folder. If the user JDOE was assigned Full Control and Deny permissions to a folder, JDOE could not access the folder.
  25. C. NTFS permissions assigned to the user and to the groups of which the user is a member are cumulative. Therefore, Audrey’s effective permissions are the highest permissions assigned to her, which is Full Control.
  26. A. When share permissions are combined with NTFS permissions, the effective permission is the most restrictive. Because the default share permission is Read for the Everyone group, Rebecca’s most restrictive permission is Read.
  27. B. Windows Server 2003 Remote Desktop allows up to two simultaneous connections.
  28. B. Because there can be only one console session running at a time, you will lock the other administrator out of the session when you connect.
  29. A. Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) transfers just the screen updates and keyboard and mouse between the remote server and the client. Because no data is sent across the link, RDP does not require much bandwidth and is fast.
  30. A. Disconnecting leaves the session running on the remote server. When you connect tomorrow to view the screen, you can reconnect to the same session and view the screen information. If you log off the session, the session is closed.
  31. D. A memory leak is caused when an application allocates memory for use but does not return the memory when finished. As time goes by, the server runs out of available memory, which causes the server to slow down.
  32. A. Page Faults/sec displays the number of times the server could not locate the information it needed in RAM and had to look elsewhere. If this value is high, it indicated additional RAM is required.
  33. B, C, and D. Slow hard drives and older 8-bit network cards place a higher burden on the processor and require additional processing power. In addition, multiple applications can cause a processor bottleneck because each application places demands on the processor. Offloading applications to multiple servers can improve performance.
  34. D. Placing the page file on the same partition as the boot partition decreases hard disk performance. Because the boot partition contains the Windows Server 2003 system files, the hard drive reads and writes to this partition constantly. Adding the page file to the partition only adds to the bottleneck. It is recommended that the page file be placed on another partition than the boot partition or on a separate hard drive.
  35. A, B, C, and D. All the actions improve network performance. Subnetting the network into smaller networks helps to reduce the number of broadcasts on the network. Replacing hubs with switches also improves performance as does grading the network cabling. Adding additional servers distributes the load across the network and reduces the dependence on a single server and allows multiple connections at one time.
  36. B. Disk quotas can be enabled on removable drives. However the removable drive must be shared to enable the disk quotas.
  37. D. The SYSVOL folder is included in the SystemState only on domain controllers.
  38. B, D, and E. Only the Normal and Incremental backup types reset the archive bit on backedup files.
  39. A and B. The ASR floppy disk is not a bootable floppy and does not contain backups of data. It contains information only about the ASR backup, disk configuration information, and restore procedures.
  40. B. The F2 key is used to begin the ASR restore.
  41. B. The minimum amount of disk space that you can assign to shadow copies is 100 MB. The default size is 10% of the volume size.
  42. A and D. Shadow copies are made at 7:00 a.m. and noon daily by default.
  43. C. When a user is successfully authenticated and logs on to the computer, the LastKnownGood is updated with the current configuration.
  44. B. You must log on to the Windows Server 2003 installation using the local Administrator account.
  45. C and D. NTOSKRNL.EXE is located in the %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32 folder and is used to complete the Windows Server 2003 startup. The Pagefile is a very large file and is located on the System partition.
  46. C. Once the new path has been specified in the Advanced properties for the print server, you need to stop and start the print spooler service for the changes to take effect. Any print jobs in the print queue waiting to print are not printed after the change. It is recommended to wait until all print jobs have completed before moving the print spooler location.
  47. C. A RAID-5 volume requires a minimum of three hard drives.
  48. E. You cannot convert a global group to a domain local group. You must first convert the global group to a universal group and then convert the universal group to a domain local group.
  49. B. When a hard drive is moved from one computer to another, a rescan will scan all attached devices for changes. This detects the new hard drive and displays its information.
  50. A and B. Windows 95 and Windows 98 do not require a computer account in Active Directory to join the domain. Only Windows NT and higher operating systems require a computer account.
