You work as the database administrator at Domain.com. The Domain.com network consists of a single Active Directory domain named Domain.com. The network contains a database server named Certkiller -DB01 that hosts a database named CK_Books. The CK_Books database has a table named SampleChapters that is used to store sample chapters from books published by Domain.com.
