1. You are the administrator for the Netinfo Company. You are looking to install Windows Server 2012 R2, and you need to decide which version to install. You need to install a version of Windows that is just for logon authentication and nothing else. You want the most secure option and cost is not an issue. What should you install?

A.
Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter with GUI
B.
Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Server Core
C.
Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard with GUI
D.
Windows Server 2012 R2 Web Server Core

Correct Answers :

[B]

Explanation :

Windows Server 2012 R2 Server Core is a more secure, slimmed-down version of Windows Server. Web versions of Windows Server 2012 R2 are not available. You would use Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard as a web server.

2. You are the IT manager for a large organization. One of your co-workers installed a new Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Server Core machine, but now the IT team has decided that it should be a Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter with GUI. What should you do?

A.
Reinstall Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Server Core on the same machine.
B.
Install a new machine with Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Server Core.
C.
Convert the current Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Server Core to the Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter with GUI version.
D.
Dual-boot the machine with both Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Server Core and Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter with GUI.

Correct Answers :

[C]

Explanation :

One of the new advantages of Windows Server 2012 R2 is that you can convert Server Core and GUI versions without the need to reinstall the operating system files completely.

3. You are the network administrator for the ABC Company. Your network consists of two DNS servers named DNS1 and DNS2. The users who are configured to use DNS2 complain because they are unable to connect to Internet websites. The following table shows the configuration of both servers:

DNS1                               DNS2
_msdcs.abc.comabc.com                   .(root)_msdcs.abc.comabc.com

The users connected to DNS2 need to be able to access the Internet. What needs to be done?

A.
Build a new Active Directory Integrated zone on DNS2.
B.
Delete the .(root) zone from DNS2 and configure conditional forwarding on DNS2.
C.
Delete the current cache.dns file.
D.
Update your cache.dns file and root hints.

Correct Answers :

[B]

Explanation :

Because of the .(root) zone, users will not be able to access the Internet. The DNS forwarding option and DNS root hints will not be configurable. If you want your users to access the Internet, you must remove the .(root) zone.

4. You are the network administrator for a large company that has one main site and one branch office. Your company has a single Active Directory forest, ABC.com. You have a single domain controller (ServerA) in the main site that has the DNS role installed. ServerA is configured as a primary DNS zone. You have decided to place a domain controller (ServerB) in the remote site and implement the DNS role on that server. You want to configure DNS so that, if the WAN link fails, users in both sites can still update records and resolve any DNS queries. How should you configure the DNS servers?

A.
Configure ServerB as a secondary DNS server. Set replication to occur every five minutes.
B.
Configure ServerB as a stub zone.
C.
Configure ServerB as an Active Directory Integrated zone and convert ServerA to an Active Directory Integrated zone.
D.
Convert ServerA to an Active Directory Integrated zone and configure ServerB as a secondary zone.

Correct Answers :

[C]

Explanation :

Active Directory Integrated zones store their records in Active Directory. Because this company has only one Active Directory forest, it’s the same Active Directory that both DNS servers are using. This allows ServerA to see all of the records of ServerB and ServerB to see all the records of ServerA.

5. You are the system administrator of a large organization that has recently implemented Windows Server 2012 R2. You have a few remote sites that do not have very tight security. You have decided to implement read-only domain controllers (RODCs). What forest and function levels does the network need for you to do the install? (Choose all that apply.)

A.
Windows 2000 Mixed
B.
Windows 2008 R2
C.
Windows 2003
D.
Windows 2008

Correct Answers :

[B, C, D]

Explanation :

The forest and function levels have to be Windows 2003 or newer to install an RODC.

6. What is the maximum number of domains that a Windows Server 2012 R2 computer configured as a domain controller may participate in at one time?

A.
0
B.
1
C.
2
D.
Any number of domains

Correct Answers :

[A]

Explanation :

A domain controller can contain Active Directory information for only one domain. If you want to use a multidomain environment, you must use multiple domain controllers configured in either a tree or a forest setting.

The company for which you work has a multilevel administrative team that is segmented by departments and locations. There are four major locations, and you are in the Northeast group. You have been assigned to the administrative group that is responsible for creating and maintaining network shares for files and printers in your region. The last place you worked had a large Windows Server 2003 network, where you had a much wider range of responsibilities. You are excited about the chance to learn more about Windows Server 2012 R2.

For your first task, you have been given a list of file and printer shares that need to be created for the users in your region. You ask how to create them in Windows Server 2012 R2, and you are told that the process of creating a share is the same as with Windows Server 2003. You create the shares and use NETUSE to test them. Everything appears to work fine, so you send out a message that the shares are available. The next day, you start receiving calls from users who say they cannot see any of the resources you created. What is the most likely reason for the calls from the users?

A.
You forgot to enable NetBIOS for the shares.
B.
You need to force replication for the shares to appear in the directory.
C.
You need to publish the shares in the directory.
D.
The shares will appear within the normal replication period.

Correct Answers :

[C]

Explanation :

You need to publish shares in the directory before they are available to the users of the directory. If NetBIOS is still enabled on the network, the shares will be visible to the NetBIOS tools and clients, but you do not have to enable NetBIOS on shares. Although replication must occur before the shares are available in the directory, it is unlikely that the replication will not have occurred by the next day. If this is the case, then you have other problems with the directory as well.

8. You want to publish a printer to Active Directory. Where would you click in order to accomplish this task?

A.
The Sharing tab
B.
The Advanced tab
C.
The Device Settings tab
D.
The Printing Preferences button

Correct Answers :

[A]

Explanation :

The Sharing tab contains a check box that you can use to list the printer in Active Directory.

9. You are the administrator of an organization with a single Active Directory domain. A user who left the company returns after 16 weeks. The user tries to log onto their old computer and receives an error stating that authentication has failed. The user’s account has been enabled. You need to ensure that the user is able to log onto the domain using that computer. What do you do?

A.
Reset the computer account in Active Directory. Disjoin the computer from the domain and then rejoin the computer to the domain.
B.
Run the ADadd command to rejoin the computer account.
C.
Run the MMC utility on the user’s computer, and add the Domain Computers snap-in.
D.
Re-create the user account and reconnect the user account to the computer account.

Correct Answers :

[A]

Explanation :

A computer account and the domain authenticate each other by using a password. The password resets every 30 days. Since the machine has not connected to the domain for 16 weeks, the computer needs to be rejoined to the domain.

10. You are the administrator of an organization with a single Active Directory domain. One of your senior executives tries to log onto a machine and receives the error “This user account has expired. Ask your administrator to reactivate your account.” You need to make sure that this doesn’t happen again to this user. What do you do?

A.
Configure the domain policy to disable account lockouts.
B.
Configure the password policy to extend the maximum password age to 0.
C.
Modify the user’s properties to set the Account Never Expires setting.
D.
Modify the user’s properties to extend the maximum password age to 0.

Correct Answers :

[C]

Explanation :

Checking the box Account Never Expires will prevent this user’s account from expiring again.

11. You are the network administrator for a large organization that uses Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controllers and DNS servers. All of your client machines currently have the Windows XP operating system. You want to be able to have client computers edit the domain-based GPOs by using the ADMX files that are located in the ADMX Central Store. How do you accomplish this task? (Choose all that apply.)

A.
Upgrade your clients to Windows 8.
B.
Upgrade your clients to Windows 7.
C.
Add the client machines to the ADMX edit utility.
D.
In the ADMX store, choose the box Allow All Client Privileges

Correct Answers :

[A, B]

Explanation :

If you want your clients to be able to edit domain-based GPOs by using the ADMX files that are stored in the ADMX Central Store, you must be using Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows Server 2003/2008/2008 R2/2012/2012 R2.

12. You work for an organization with a single Windows Server 2012 R2 Active Directory domain. The domain has OUs for Sales, Marketing, Admin, R & D, and Finance. You need only the users in the Finance OU to get Windows Office 2013 installed automatically onto their computers. You create a GPO named OfficeApp. What is the next step in getting all of the Finance users Office 2013?

A.
Edit the GPO, and assign the Office application to the user’s account. Link the GPO to the Finance OU.
B.
Edit the GPO, and assign the Office application to the user’s account. Link the GPO to the domain.
C.
Edit the GPO, and assign the Office application to the computer account. Link the GPO to the domain.
D.
Edit the GPO, and assign the Office application to the computer account. Link the GPO to the Finance OU.

Correct Answers :

[D]

Explanation :

If you assign an application to a user, the application does not get automatically installed. To have an application installed automatically, you must assign the application to the computer account. Since Finance is the only OU that should receive this application, you would link the GPO to Finance only.

13. You are the network administrator for your organization. A new company policy has been released wherein if a user enters their password incorrectly three times within five minutes, they are locked out for 30 minutes. What three actions do you need to set to comply with this policy? (Choose all that apply.)

A.
Set Account Lockout Duration to five minutes.
B.
Set Account Lockout Duration to 30 minutes.
C.
Set the Account Lockout Threshold setting to three invalid logon attempts.
D.
Set the Account Lockout Threshold setting to 30 minutes.
E.
Set the Reset Account Lockout Counter setting to five minutes.
F.
Set the Reset Account Lockout Counter setting to three times.

Correct Answers :

[B, C, E]

Explanation :

The Account Lockout Duration setting states how long an account will be locked out if the password is entered incorrectly. Account Lockout Threshold is the number of bad password attempts, and Account Lockout Counter is the time in which the bad password attempts are made. Once the Account Lockout Counter value reaches 0, the number of bad password attempts returns to 0.

14. You create a GPO and link it to the Sales OU. You want to monitor users in the Sales OU who connect to the file server. What type of auditing do you enable?

A.
Audit Object Access
B.
Audit Logon Events
C.
Audit System Events
D.
Audit Process Tracking

Correct Answers :

[B]

Explanation :

Account logon events are created for domain account activity. For example, you have a user who logs onto a server so that they can access files; the act of logging onto the server creates this audit event.

15. You are the network administrator for ABC Company. You have an IPv6 prefix of 2001:DB8:BBCC:0000::/53, and you need to set up your network so that your IPv6 addressing scheme can handle 1,000 more subnets. Which network mask would you use?

A.
/60.
B.
/61.
C.
/62.
D.
/63.
E.
/64.

Correct Answers :

[D]

Explanation :

To calculate the network mask, you need to figure out which power number (2x) is greater than or equal to the number you need. Since you are looking for 1000, 210 = 1024. You then add the power (10) to the current network mask (53 + 10 = 63).

16. You are the network administrator for Stellacon Corporation. Stellacon has a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine that needs to be able to communicate with all of the computers on the internal network. Stellacon has decided to add 15 new segments to its IPv6 network. How would you configure the IPv6 address so that the server can communicate with all the segments?

A.
Configure the IPv6 address as fd00::2b0:e0ff:dee9:4143/8.
B.
Configure the IPv6 address as fe80::2b0:e0ff:dee9:4143/32.
C.
Configure the IPv6 address as ff80::2b0:e0ff:dee9:4143/64.
D.
Configure the IPv6 address as fe80::2b0:e0ff:dee9:4143/64.

Correct Answers :

[A]

Explanation :

When you look at an IPv6 address, the first sections tell you the IPv6 address space prefix. Fd00:: /8 is the unique local unicast prefix, and this allows the server to communicate with all local machines within your intranet.

17. On which of the following x64 editions of Windows Server 2012 R2 does Hyper-V run? (Choose all that apply.)

A.
Windows Server 2012 R2 Web Edition
B.
Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition
C.
Windows Server 2012 R2 Itanium Edition
D.
Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Edition

Correct Answers :

[B, D]

Explanation :

Hyper-V can be installed on the Standard or Datacenter Editions of Windows Server 2012 R2. Itanium, x86, and Web Editions are not supported.

18. You want to build a test environment based on virtual machines on a single Windows Server 2012 R2 machine, but you also want to make sure that the virtual machines communicate only with each other. What type of virtual network do you need to configure?

A.
External
B.
Internal only
C.
Private virtual machine network
D.
Public virtual machine network

Correct Answers :

[C]

Explanation :

The external virtual network type will allow the virtual machine to communicate with the external network as it would with the Internet, so A is wrong. The internal-only network type allows communication between the virtual machines and the host machine. Because the question says that only communication between the virtual machines should be allowed, the only valid answer is private virtual machine network. The last option, public virtual machine network, does not exist in Hyper-V.

19. You need to stop an application from running in Task Manager. Which tab would you use to stop an application from running?

A.
Performance
B.
Users
C.
Options
D.
Details

Correct Answers :

[D]

Explanation :

All of the applications that are running on the Windows Server 2012 R2 machine will show up on the Details tab. Right-click the application and end the process.

20. You are the network administrator for a Fortune 500 company. You are responsible for all client computers at the central campus. You want to make sure that all of the client computers are secure. You decide to use MBSA to scan your client computers for possible security violations. You want to use the command-line version of MBSA to scan your computers based on IP address. Which of the following commands should you use?

A.
mdsacli.exe /hf -i xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx
B.
mdsacli.exe /ip xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx
C.
mbsa.exe /hf -ip xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx
D.
mbsa.exe /ip xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx

Correct Answers :

[A]

Explanation :

If you use MBSA from the command-line utility mdsacli.exe, you can specify several options. You type mdsacli.exe/hf (from the folder that contains mdsacli.exe) and then customize the command execution with an option such as /ixxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx, which specifies that the computer with the specified IP address should be scanned.
