Microsoft Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment Sample Questions:

1. Your network consists of a single Active Directory domain. The functional level of the domain is Windows
Server 2003.
All servers run Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2).
The network contains 10 file servers. Each file server hosts a share named Apps.
On each file server, a local group named App install local has permissions to the Apps share.
A global group named App install global belongs to the App install local group on each file server.
App install global is used only to control permissions for the Apps share.
You create a global group named Helpdesk.
You need to provide the Helpdesk group access to the Apps share on each file server.
The Helpdesk group must have the same permissions as the App install global group.
You must achieve this goal by using the minimum amount of administrative effort.
What should you do?

A) Convert the App install global group to a universal group. Add the App install global group to the Helpdesk group.
B) Add the Helpdesk group to the App install global group.
C) Add the Helpdesk group to the App install local group on each file server.
D) Convert the Helpdesk group to a universal group. Add the Helpdesk group to the App install local group on each file server.

2. The Certidea.com network consists of a single Active Directory domain named Certidea.com.
The Certidea.com network contains a server that runs Windows Server 2003, named Certidea-SV1.
Access to Certidea.corn's internal Web site is provided to users by Certidea-SV1.
Certidea-SV1 hosts a folder named D:\Webfolders\Sales Docs that contains Certidea.corn's sales reports.
The table below displays settings of the NTFS permissions for the Sales Docs Folder.
GroupName Permissions
Administrators Full Control
Sales Modify
Users Read
You have received instruction from the CIO to create a new virtual directory for the sales department on
Certidea-SV1.
He informs you that the new virtual directory should be accessible as a Web folder, that members of the
Sales group should be able to upload Microsoft Word documents and HTML files, and that no dynamic
content is allowed to be run from the virtual directory.
Configure the correct option or options in the dialog box, to satisfy the CIO's requirements completely.

3. You are a network administrator for your company. All servers run Windows Server 2003. You manage a
file server named Server8.
You need to create a performance baseline for Server8 by using Performance Logs and Alerts.
You need to store the performance data in an existing Microsoft SQL Server database on another
computer.
You create a new counter log, and you select SQL Database as the log file format.
When you attempt to save your changes, you receive an error message stating that you must select a data
source name.
You examine the configuration of the SQL Logs, as shown in the following dialog box.

You need to configure the counter log to use a SQL database. What should you do?

A) Use the relog command-line utility to configure a connection to your SQL database.
B) Use Add or Remove programs to install Connection Point Services. Configure a connection to your SQL database.
C) Use Data Sources (ODBC) to configure a connection to your SQL database.
D) Use the logman command-line utility with the create switch to configure a connection to your SQL database.

4. You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2).
Server1 experiences a power failure and shuts down unexpectedly.
You start the server and receive the following error message; NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to
restart.
You need to ensure that you can run Windows Server 2003 on Server1.
What should you do first?

A) Start Server1 and press F8.
B) Create a MS DOS startup disk. Start Server1 from the MS DOS startup disk.
C) Start Server1 by using the Windows Server 2003 SP2 installation media and access the Recovery Console.
D) Create an Automated System Recovery (ASR) floppy disk from a different Windows Server 2003 SP2 server. Start Server1 from the ASR floppy disk.

5. Your network consists of a single Active Directory domain. All network servers run Windows Server 2003
Service Pack 2 (SP2).
Your organization has a storage area network (SAN). All shared folders on file servers are stored on the
SAN.
The Change permission for all shared folders is assigned to Domain Users. Different NTFS permissions are
also applied to the shared folders.
You perform a daily full backup of all the files stored in the shared folders.
A file server fails and requires several hours to repair.
You need to provide users access to the shared folders that were on the failed file server as quickly as
possible.
Existing permissions must be retained for all files.
What should you do?

A) Attach an existing file server to the SAN storage locations. Configure NTFS permissions for the folders.
B) On an existing file server, restore the data from the tape backup. Configure NTFS permissions for the folders.
C) On an existing file server, restore the data from the tape backup. Configure the shared folders on the server.
D) Attach an existing file server to the SAN storage locations. Configure the shared folders on the server.
