You are a network administrator for your company. All servers run Windows Server 2003. You manage a server that functions as a file server. The data volume on the server is mirrored. Each physical disk is on a separate controller. One of the hard disks that contains the data volume fails. You discover that the failure was caused by a faulty SCSI controller. You replace the SCSI controller. You need to restore the data volume to its previous state. You need to achieve this goal by using the minimum amount of administrative effort. What should you do?
- A.
Run the diskpart active command to activate the failed volume.
- B.
Convert both disks to basic disks, and then restore the data.
- C.
Break the mirror, and then re create the mirror.
- D.
Select a disk in the mirror, and then reactivate the volume.
Correct Answer
D. Select a disk in the mirror, and then reactivate the volume.Explanation
When a hard disk fails due to a faulty SCSI controller, the first step is to replace the controller. After replacing the SCSI controller, the next step is to reactivate the volume. In this scenario, since the data volume is mirrored and each physical disk is on a separate controller, selecting a disk in the mirror and then reactivating the volume will restore the data volume to its previous state with the minimum amount of administrative effort. This option does not require converting disks to basic disks or breaking and recreating the mirror.Rate this question:

- E.
In Internet Explorer, type https://server1.
Correct Answer
E. In Internet Explorer, type https://server1.Explanation
The correct answer is "In Internet Explorer, type https://server1." This is because the error message "HTTP Error 404 File or directory not found" suggests that the server is not configured to use HTTP, but rather HTTPS. Therefore, typing "https://server1" in the browser address bar will attempt to connect to the server using the secure HTTPS protocol, which should allow for administration of Server1.Rate this question:

You are the network administrator for your company. All network servers run Windows Server 2003. A member server named Server1 is configured to run shadow copies without a storage limit. Server1 has the disk configuration shown in the following table. You need to create additional free space on DATA1. You also need to improve the performance of Server1 and ensure that it has sufficient space for shadow copies in the future. Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
- A.
Delete the shadow copies on DATA1.
- B.
Delete Backup.bkf on DATA3.
- C.
In the properties of DATA1, relocate the shadow copies to DATA2.
- D.
In the properties of DATA1, relocate the shadow copies to DATA3.
- E.
Delete DATA3 and extend the DATA1 partition to include the space on DATA3.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Delete the shadow copies on DATA1.
D. In the properties of DATA1, relocate the shadow copies to DATA3.Explanation
To create additional free space on DATA1, the shadow copies on DATA1 should be deleted. This will free up space on the disk. Additionally, to improve performance and ensure sufficient space for future shadow copies, the shadow copies should be relocated to DATA3. This will distribute the load across different disks and prevent one disk from becoming overloaded. Deleting Backup.bkf on DATA3 is not necessary for creating free space on DATA1 or improving performance. Deleting DATA3 and extending the DATA1 partition is not a recommended solution as it would result in data loss and may not improve performance or provide sufficient space for shadow copies.Rate this question:

You are the network administrator for your company. Your network consists of a single Active Directory domain. All network servers run Windows Server 2003. You successfully install a new server named Server9. Immediately afterward, you perform the first backup of the server. The date is January 25, 2003. Next, you add a user named Anne to the local Backup Operators group. You direct Anne to perform nightly backups of Server9. One week later, you try to review the backup logs for Server9. The Backup utility displays the information shown in the exhibit.You verify that Anne is performing nightly backups. You need to be able to review the backup logs for the previous week. What should you do?
- A.
Add your user account to the local Backup Operators group.
- B.
Direct Anne to use her user account to log on and open the Backup utility.
- C.
In the Backup utility, select the Verify data after the backup completes check box.
- D.
Open %windir%\system32\LogFiles. Create a new subfolder named BackupLogs.
Correct Answer
B. Direct Anne to use her user account to log on and open the Backup utility.Explanation
Anne needs to use her user account to log on and open the Backup utility in order to review the backup logs for the previous week. This is because Anne is the one performing the nightly backups, so her user account would have the necessary permissions to access and view the backup logs. Adding the user account of the network administrator to the local Backup Operators group or selecting the Verify data after the backup completes check box in the Backup utility would not provide access to the backup logs for the previous week. Creating a new subfolder named BackupLogs in the %windir%\system32\LogFiles directory would not automatically provide access to the backup logs either.Rate this question:

You are the network administrator for your company. All network servers run Windows Server 2003. The network includes a file server named File1. File1 contains a single disk for system files and two SCSI hard disks that comprise a 72 GB mirrored volume with 65 GB of read only data. Users connect to this data by using shortcuts on their desktops. File1 is scheduled for replacement. You have a scheduled maintenance window to complete this task. Before the maintenance window, you build a new server. You need to bring the new server online with current data and re establish redundancy as quickly as possible. You must also ensure that the desktop shortcuts will continue to function. What should you do?
- A.
Name the new server File2. Create a new mirrored volume by using two 72 GB disks. Connect File2 to the network and copy the data from File1. When copying is complete, shut down the old File1.
- B.
Name the new server File1. Move both disks from the old File1 to the new File1. Scan the disks for changes. Import the disks. Connect the new File1 to the network.
- C.
Name the new server File1. Break the mirror on the old File1. Move one of the disks from the old File1 to the new File1. Scan the disk for changes. Initialize the disk. Select the spare disk and create the mirror. Connect the new File1 to the network.
- D.
Name the new server File1. Remove one of the disks in the mirror from the old File1. Move the disk to the new File1. Scan the disk for changes. Import the disk. Shut down the old File1 and connect the new File1 to the network.
Correct Answer
B. Name the new server File1. Move both disks from the old File1 to the new File1. Scan the disks for changes. Import the disks. Connect the new File1 to the network.Explanation
To bring the new server online with current data and re-establish redundancy as quickly as possible, the best approach is to name the new server File1 and move both disks from the old File1 to the new File1. This ensures that the new server has the same name as the old server, allowing the desktop shortcuts to continue functioning without any changes. By moving both disks, the mirrored volume with the read-only data is also transferred to the new server. Scanning the disks for changes and importing them ensures that all the data is properly recognized and accessible on the new server. Finally, connecting the new File1 to the network completes the process.Rate this question:

- D.
A copy backup to disk everyday a normal backup to tape on Friday an incremental backup to tape on Sunday, Tuesday and, Thursday
Correct Answer
C. A copy backup to disk everyday a normal backup to tape on Friday a differential backup to tape on Sunday, Tuesday and, ThursdayExplanation
The correct backup jobs to create are a copy backup to disk everyday, a normal backup to tape on Friday, and a differential backup to tape on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. A copy backup copies all files and folders to disk without marking them as backed up. This ensures that a complete copy of all data is available on disk every day. A normal backup to tape on Friday backs up all files and folders to tape, creating a full backup. Finally, a differential backup to tape on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday backs up only the files and folders that have changed since the previous Friday's backup, minimizing the amount of data that needs to be backed up.Rate this question:
