1. The Windows 2000 domain that you administer includes five domain controllers. You are in the process of planning a backup strategy for the domain controllers, DC5. You use the Backup wizard to schedule a normal backup of the System State data to occur daily. Several weeks later you accidentally delete several organizational units (OUs) from Active Directory on DC5. Before you can stop it, the change is replicated to the other domain controllers in the domain.

Which of the following actions should you take to restore the deleted OUs to Active Directory?

A. Run the Ntdsutil.exe program after you restore the backup of the System State to DC5, but before you reboot the computer.
B. Restore the backup from the previous day to DC5 and reboot the computer.
C. Use the Backup Wizard to restore just SYSVOL to DC5.
D. Nothing should be done. During the next replication, the deleted OUs will be restored automatically.

Answer: A

In order to restore the deleted OUs to Active Directory, you must run the Windows 2000 Ntdsutil.exe program after you restore the backup of the System State to DC5, but before you reboot the computer. Active Directory objects contain sequence numbers that increase with time. Therefore, if you simply restored an Active Directory backup from a previous day, the sequence number of the backup would be seen by the current Active Directory as outdated, and would subsequently be overwritten. To prevent this from happening, you must perform an authoritative restore. An authoritative restore will give the restored data priority, causing equivalent objects on other domain controllers to be overwritten during the next replication. The Ntdsutil.exe program is used to perform an authoritative restore by changing the sequence numbers of the restored data so that it appears to be the latest version of the data.

The following describes the two different types of restore:

1) Non-Authoritative Restore
2) Authoritative Restore

1) Non-Authoritative Restore: In this type of restore you just restore the data from backup after booting in Active Directory restore mode, which is accessible by pressing F8 during startup. Here the data that you restore will not be maintained, as the update sequence number for this data is older then what you currently have. So this will not give the desired result in the above scenario.

2) Authoritative Restore: In this you first restore the data from backup and run NTDSUTIL before rebooting the computer(As described above in option A). In this utility, change the prompt to Authoritative Restore and then restore the desired OU's. When you restore the data using NTDSUTIL it increases the version number for this data by 100,000 so that this data will be considered as new and not overwritten by replication.

The SYSVOL directory contains data and files common between domain controllers and Active Directory. SYSVOL is included in the System State backup. While critical to Active Directory, simply restoring the SYSVOL folder will not accomplish the objectives in this scenario.

2. The Windows 2000 domain that you administer includes an organizational unit (OU) named Finance. You have created a Group Policy object (GPO) linked to the Finance OU that defines a policy that prevents users from accessing the Settings tab in the Display Properties dialogue box. The GPO also contains a policy that prevents users from changing the security zone configurations in Internet Explorer (IE). The Managers OU is a child of the Finance OU. You want to enable members of the Managers OU to access the Settings tab of the Display Properties dialogue box, but you do not want them to be able to change the security zone configurations in IE. Therefore, you create another GPO linked to the Managers OU that only disables the policy that prevents users from accessing the Settings tab in the Display Properties dialogue box.

What additional step should you take to accomplish your objective?

A. Enable the "Block Policy inheritance" option for the Managers OU.
B. Enable the "No Override" option for the GPO linked to the Finance OU.
C. Define a policy in the GPO linked to the Finance OU that grants Full Control permissions for Display Properties.
D. Define a policy in the GPO linked to the Managers OU that grants Full Control permissions for Display Properties.
E. Do nothing.

Answer: E

Because the Managers OU is a child of the Finance OU, nothing more needs to be done to accomplish your objective. The GPO linked to the Finance OU will first be applied to the Managers OU. Then the GPO linked to the Managers OU will be applied. The GPO linked to the Managers OU will override the GPO linked to the Finance OU, thereby disabling the policy, which prevents users from accessing the Settings tab in the Display Properties dialogue box. Because no policy concerning the security zone configuration for IE has been defined in the GPO linked to the Managers OU, the policy defined in the GPO linked to the Finance OU will still be in effect.

Enabling the "Block Policy inheritance" option for the Managers OU would prevent the Managers OU from inheriting the policy that prevents users from changing the security zone configurations in Internet Explorer (IE).

Enabling the "No Override" option for the GPO linked to the Finance OU would prevent users in the Managers OU from being able to access the Settings tab.

Objective 3: "Installing, Configuring, Managing, Monitoring, Optimizing, and Troubleshooting Change and Configuration Management"

 

3. You manage a Windows 2000 domain that consists of five domain controllers. One of the domain controllers has experienced hardware failure. You remove the domain controller from the network in order to perform the repairs. The domain controller has been disconnected from the network for a week, and Active Directory has undergone some major changes during this time. You need to synchronize the repaired domain controller with the other domain controllers. The tombstone period is set to its default value.

Which of the following actions should you take to accomplish this task? (Choose three)

A. Reboot the computer normally.
B. Reboot the computer using the ERD.
C. Reboot the computer in Directory Services Restore Mode.
D. Use Ntbackup to restore the System State data.
E. Use Ntdsutil to perform an authoritative restore.
F. Use Ntbackup to perform a full restore.

Answer: A, C, D

To synchronize the repaired domain controller with the other domain controllers, you should reboot the computer in Directory Services Restore Mode and use Ntbackup to restore the System State data (The backup must not be older than the tombstone period, which by default is 60 days). Once the restoration is complete, reboot the computer normally and allow or initiate Active Directory replication to occur. The Active Directory database will be synchronized with the other domain controllers in the domain.

You do not want to boot the computer with the Emergency Repair Disk.

You would not want to perform an authoritative restore in this scenario. A non-authoritative restore is the default mode.

It is unnecessary to perform a full backup in this scenario.

4. You are a network administrator for a large multinational organization. The organization has many network administrators. Each administrator is in charge of all operations for their specified Active Directory object. You are responsible for the Phoenix organizational unit (OU). The Phoenix office supports nearly 500 employees. Recently, security has become more of a concern for your organization because of its rapid growth. New employees are being added almost daily and the security of network data is essential to the company's success. You have been asked by management to create and implement an Active Directory security policy for the Phoenix OU. You want the security policy to be implemented as intelligently and efficiently as possible.

Which of the following actions should you take to accomplish this task?

A. Create Group Policies with the appropriate settings.
B. Create system policies using the System Policy Editor.
C. Use the Security Configuration and Analysis tool on a Windows 2000 Server computer.
D. Configure the default domain controller policy with the appropriate security settings.

Answer: C

You should use the Security Configuration and Analysis tool on a Windows 2000 Server computer. The Security Configuration and Analysis tool is a Windows 2000 utility used for creating security profiles as well as managing security configurations across many computers through the use of security templates. Therefore, you can define security settings once and store them in a file and then apply this file to other computers. This prevents you from having to manually edit the Registry on each computer, which can be very tedious. Using the Security Configuration and Analysis tool to create security templates can help you to implement a consistent and uniform security policy that will be easy to manage.

5. Keith is the administrator for a Windows 2000 domain that consists of a single site. Confidential data is stored on three member servers in the Research department. Keith has created an OU that is just for the three member servers. Keith wants to protect these servers from unauthorized access, so he configures auditing entries for all confidential folders and files on the servers. So that he will be able to track unauthorized user access attempts.

Which additional steps should Keith take to so that he will be able to track unauthorized user access attempts? (Choose all that apply)

A. He should define the appropriate audit policy in a GPO.
B. He should assign the Apply Group Policy permissions for the GPO to the OU that contains the member server.
C. He should configure an audit policy on each member server.
D. He should create a GPO linked to the domain that contains the three member servers.
E. He should create a GPO linked to the OU that contains the three member servers.

Answer: A, D

In addition to configuring auditing entries for all the confidential folders and files on the member servers, Keith should create a GPO that includes the appropriate audit policy, and link the GPO to the OU that contains the three member servers. Both of these steps are required in order to monitor the file and folder access of the member servers. By using a GPO linked to the OU, you are prevented from having to configure a local policy individually on each server.
