Your network contains a domain controller that runs Windows Server 2008 R2.
You run the following command on the domain controller:
dsamain.exe C dbpath c:\$SNAP_201006170326_VOLUMEC$\Windows\NTDS\ntds.dit C ldapport 389 -
allowNonAdminAccess
The command fails. You need to ensure that the command completes successfully.
How should you modify the command?
A.
Change the value of the -dbpath parameter.
B.
Include the path to Dsamain.
C.
Change the value of the -ldapport parameter.
D.
Remove the CallowNonAdminAccess parameter.

Your network contains an Active Directory domain. The domain contains 10 domain controllers that run
Windows Server 2008 R2.
You need to monitor the following information on the domain controllers during the next five days:
- Memory usage
- Processor usage
- The number of LDAP queries
What should you do?

Create a User Defined Data Collector Set (DCS) that uses the Active Directory Diagnostics template.
B.
Use the System Performance Data Collector Set (DCS).
C.
Create a User Defined Data Collector Set (DCS) that uses the System Performance template.
D.
Use the Active Directory Diagnostics Data Collector Set (DCS).
Correct Answer
A. Create a User Defined Data Collector Set (DCS) that uses the Active Directory Diagnostics template.
Explanation Creating a User Defined Data Collector Set (DCS) that uses the Active Directory Diagnostics template is the correct answer because this template is specifically designed to monitor Active Directory-related information such as memory usage, processor usage, and the number of LDAP queries. By using this template, the domain controllers can be monitored effectively for the required information over the next five days.

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
Contoso.com contains a domain controller named DC1 and a read-only domain controller (RODC) named
RODC1.
You need to view the most recent user accounts authenticated by RODC1.
What should you do first?
A.
From Active Directory Sites and Services, right-click the Connection object for DC1, and then click
Replicate Now.
B.
From Active Directory Sites and Services, right-click the Connection object for DC2, and then click
Replicate Now.
C.
From Active Directory Users and Computers, right-click contoso.com, click Change DomainController,
and then connect to DC1.
D.
From Active Directory Users and Computers, right-click contoso.com, click Change Domain Controller,
and then connect to RODC1.
Correct Answer
C. From Active Directory Users and Computers, right-click contoso.com, click Change DomainController,
and then connect to DC1.
Explanation To view the most recent user accounts authenticated by RODC1, you should first connect to DC1 using Active Directory Users and Computers. This is because the question asks for the most recent user accounts authenticated by RODC1, not DC1. By connecting to DC1, you can view the replication information and see the most recent user accounts authenticated by RODC1.

Your network contains an Active Directory domain. The domain contains 3,000 client computers.
All of the client computers run Windows 7.
Users log on to their client computers by using standard user accounts.
You plan to deploy a new application named App1.
The vendor of App1 provides a Setup.exe file to install App1. Setup.exe requires administrative rights to
run.
You need to deploy App1 to all client computers. The solution must meet the following requirements:
- App1 must automatically detect and replace corrupt application files.
- App1 must be available from the Start menu on each client computer.
What should you do first?
A.
Create a logon script that calls Setup.exe for App1.
B.
Create a .zap file.
C.
Create a startup script that calls Setup.exe for App1.
D.
Repackage App1 as a Windows Installer package.
Correct Answer
D. Repackage App1 as a Windows Installer package.
Explanation Repackaging App1 as a Windows Installer package would be the first step in deploying the application to all client computers. This is because the vendor-provided Setup.exe file requires administrative rights to run, which standard user accounts do not have. By repackaging the application as a Windows Installer package, it can be deployed using Group Policy or other deployment tools that can install applications with administrative rights. Additionally, using a Windows Installer package would also allow for automatic detection and replacement of corrupt application files, as required by the solution.

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
Contoso.com contains two sites named Site1 and Site2. Site1 contains a domain controller named DC1.
In Site1, you install a new domain controller named DC2. You ship DC2 to Site2.
You discover that certain users in Site2 authenticate to DC1.
You need to ensure that the users in Site2 always attempt to authenticate to DC2 first.
What should you do?
A.
From Active Directory Users and Computers, modify the Location settings of the DC2 computer object.
B.
From Active Directory Sites and Services, modify the Location attribute for Site2.
C.
From Active Directory Sites and Services, move the DC2 server object.
D.
From Active Directory Users and Computers, move the DC2 computer object.
Correct Answer
C. From Active Directory Sites and Services, move the DC2 server object.
Explanation To ensure that users in Site2 always attempt to authenticate to DC2 first, you should move the DC2 server object in Active Directory Sites and Services. This will physically relocate the server to Site2, making it the preferred domain controller for authentication in that site. Modifying the Location settings or attribute for Site2 or the DC2 computer object will not have the same effect as physically moving the server object.
