  1. mina says:

    in another place on this site the same question but answer was revoke the certificate as disable the user account will take 15 minutes to be enforced all over the domain.

    so it should be ‘D’

      Hi Mina,
      How would you disable a certificate issued by a CA in certmgr.msc? The Certificates snap-in only shows certificates in the certificate store of the local computer, not in the ones in the CA database. Looks to me like A is correct.

    There is a similar question to this one but in the answers you have an option to choose Certificate Authority. You should choose that instead of Active Directory Users and Computers. It’s a tricky question.

    Certificate Revocation:

    Clients that have a cached copy of the previously-published CRL or delta CRL will continue using it until its validity period has expired, even though a new CRL has been published. Manually publishing a CRL does not affect cached copies of CRLs that are still valid; it only makes a new CRL available for systems that do not have a valid CRL.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc778151(v=ws.10).aspx

    By default, CAs publish CRLs weekly. You can change this setting through the Revoked Certificates Properties dialog box.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727098.aspx#EDAA

    Each CA is configured with a CRL publication setting. This setting defines when a CA will automatically publish an updated CRL known as the CRL publish period. When a CA is first installed, the publish period is set to one week, but can be manually configured.
    A CRL is valid for a period that differs from this publish period. The validity period is the period of time that a CRL is considered authoritative for verifying an issued certificate. The validity period is extended to a length of time greater than the publication period to allow for Active Directory replication. By default, the validity period is defined to be 10% greater than the publication period, up to a maximum of 12 hours difference. For example, if your CRL publish period is set to 10 days, and then the validity period is set to 11 days. In addition, the validity period must be at least 1.5 times the skew value. Therefore, if the skew value is defined to be 10 minutes, then the validity period must be a minimum of at least 15 minutes.
    You can alter the default settings by modifying the CRLOverlapPeriod and CRLOverlapUnits values located in the registry in the HKLM\ SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CertSvc\Configuration\\ hive. For example, to define validity period to be extended by two days, you would set CRLOverlapPeriod to be a value of “days” and CRLOverlapUnits to be a value of “2”.
    Note: It is recommended to modify these registry values using Certutil –setreg, rather than directly modifying the registry. The following command(s) are provided as examples:
    certutil -setreg ca\CRLOverlapPeriod days
    certutil -setreg ca\CRLOverlapUnits 2
    Finally, there is a clock skew of an additional 10 minutes added to the validity period on either side of the publish period, so a CRL will be valid 10 minutes before the beginning of its publish period to account for variances in computer clock settings. You can modify this setting by changing the value of ClockSkewMinutes in the same registry location.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700843.aspx#XSLTsection126121120120

    You can also publish a CRL on demand at any time, such as when a valuable certificate becomes compromised. Choosing to publish a CRL outside the established schedule resets the scheduled publication period to begin at that time. In other words, if you manually publish a CRL in the middle of a scheduled publish period, the CRL publish period is restarted.
    It is important to realize that clients that have a cached copy of the previously published CRL will continue using it until its validity period has expired, even though a new CRL has been published. Manually publishing a CRL does not affect cached copies of CRLs that are still valid; it only makes a new CRL available for systems that do not have a cached copy of a valid CRL.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc782162(v=ws.10).aspx

    CryptoAPI uses the following two caches for CRLs and OCSP responses:
    • A disk cache, which maintains copies of all CRLs and OCSP responses retrieved during the revocation checking process on the local file system. All items in the disk cache are maintained until their validity period expires.
    • A memory cache, which contains revocation information used by a specific process. The memory cache is maintained within the memory used by the calling process. When the process terminates, the memory is released and the memory cache is flushed. If an object exists in the disk cache, the object is read into the memory cache for the calling process.
    For Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, it is now supported to delete items from the disk cache. There are different commands available for flushing the cache:
    • To delete all cache entries:
    certutil -urlcache * delete
    For Windows Vista and Windows 2008, it is preferable to invalidate the memory cache instead of deleting the disk cache. You can do so by invalidating the cached CRLs and OCSP responses before the time specified in the object.
    To invalidate the cache, you must run the following commands from an Administrative command prompt:
    • To immediately invalidate all items from the cache:
    • certutil -setreg chain\ChainCacheResyncFiletime @now
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee619754(v=ws.10).aspx

    EXAM TIP
    If you don’t want to wait for a CRL or delta CRL to be published according to the default
    schedule, you can trigger CRL publication. It is important to note that in most cases a
    client will check a certificate’s validity only periodically; a client will not check a certificate’s
    validity each time the certificate is used. This period is based on the CRL publication
    interval.

    Enrolling for a smart card certificate:
    The recommended method for enrolling users for smart card-based certificates and keys is through the smart card enrollment station that is integrated with Certificate Services in Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition and Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition.
    When an enterprise certification authority (CA) is installed, the installation includes the Smart Card Enrollment station. This allows an administrator to act on behalf of a user to request and install a Smart Card Logon certificate or Smart Card User certificate on the user’s smart card. Prior to using the Smart Card Enrollment station, the smart card issuer must have obtained a signing certificate based on the Enrollment Agent certificate template. The signing certificate signs the certificate request that is generated on behalf of the smart card recipient.
    By default, only domain administrators are granted permission to request a certificate based on the Enrollment Agent template. A user other than a domain administrator can be granted permission to enroll for an Enrollment Agent certificate by means of Active Directory Sites and Services.

    Events That Trigger Urgent Replication:
    Urgent Active Directory replication is always triggered by certain events on all domain controllers within the same site. When you have enabled change notification between sites, these triggering events also replicate immediately between sites.
    Immediate replication between Windows 2000–based domain controllers in the same site is prompted by the following:
    • Assigning an account lockout, which prohibits a user from logging on after a certain number of failed attempts.
    • Changing a Local Security Authority (LSA) secret, which is a secure form in which private data is stored by the LSA.
    • Change in the relative identifier (known as a “RID”) master role owner, which is the single domain controller in a domain that assigns relative identifiers to all domain controllers in that domain.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc961787.aspx

    According to the above information the correct answer is either Active Directory Users and Computers, or Active Directory Administrative Center.

    So it is A. Active Directory Users and Computers

    The answer must either be Active Directory Users and Computer or Active Directory Administrative Center. Certification Authority would take even longer to replicate in my opinion.

  7. Suzie says:

    I would have to agree with the AD users and computers or AD admin center. You would think that the purpose of the delta CRL would be to lock out accounts immediately, however, if not computers are set to look at the CRL at specific times, then even if you did a delta CRL, it would not prevent a lockout. The only way therefore, that I see, is to disable in AD, then do a force replication by options in sites and services. But really, I would think that it would defeat the purpose of smart cards, if the delta CRL is only looked at during set times on the local machine.

  8. JD says:

    The question in the premium file has the correct answer as D Active Directory Administrative Centre but answer A is Active Directory Users and Computers so surely both are correct answers ?

    I’m guessing it’d be one or the other in the exam.

      JD, I have my exam this Wednesday at 1:30 instead of taking my final from class. This was just presented to us this past week due to our final being next Friday. I keep seeing/reading “premium file” being tossed around. I gather it’s a better test bank or study guide than here? I’m getting confused on some of these answers because some say correct and others say not correct.

      Where do I find this “premium file” or may I respectfully get it from you? If I need to provide any funds in return please let me know.

  9. Pro says:

    dont think about it too much. It is the right answer. In order to prevent user1 from logging in again is to disable the account or revoke the certificate. None of the above answer allows you to revoke a certificate. So the only choice is to disable the account. How do you disable the account? The answer allows you to.

  10. Mike says:

    I think the answer will always be the Active Directory Administrative Center for this question group. It is the new tool that incorporates the function of AD U&C introduced in 2008 and MS likes to make sure you know to use the updated tools. CA just takes too long to replicate unless you go out of your way to force it.

    If you really want a guy to absolutely not log in have Joe the security guy manhandle him into a exit interview room for the 15 mins it requires ADAC changes to replicate.

    1. Joe says:

      The only 2 possibilities are A and D…
      A: Although ADUC would not necessarily IMMEDIATELY stop the user from logging on, it is the quickest way. It can take the time it takes to replicate between DC’s or can prevent them logging in straight away if they happen to be authenticated by the DC that this change was done on. Either way it is the quickest way to stop them from logging on.
      D: you can revoke the certificate but the user can still log on until the CRL they have cached expires so it could be up to a week, slower than through ADUC.

      Note that if ADAC and ADUC are both possible answers you will more than likely need to select ADAC as this is newer than ADUC.

      Answer is A though in my opinion.

  11. Sami says:

    The key word in the question is “immediately” and assuming that there is more than one domain controller. The only way to do that is to trigger an urgent/immediate replication in domain controllers. This can be done either in ADUC or ADAC by changing the password and disabling the account.

    So the correct answer is A.

    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772726(WS.10).aspx#w2k3tr_repup_how_huzs

    Password changes are replicated differently than both normal (non-urgent) replication and urgent replication. Changes to security account passwords present a replication latency problem wherein a user’s password is changed on domain controller A and the user subsequently attempts to log on, being authenticated by domain controller B. If the password has not replicated from A to B, the attempt to log on fails. Active Directory replication remedies this situation by forwarding password changes immediately to a single domain controller in the domain, the PDC emulator.

    In Active Directory, when a user password is changed at a domain controller, that domain controller attempts to update the respective replica at the domain controller that holds the PDC emulator role. Update of the PDC emulator occurs immediately, without respect to schedules on site links. The updated password is propagated to other domain controllers by normal replication within a site.

  13. Digixorcist says:

    Who says anything about replicating? .. the question states that the domain has a domain controller (DC1) that also runs the CA. Doesn’t mention anywhere that there are more domain controllers installed. Therefore, disabling the account in AD Lusers & Computers pretty much means instant lockout.

    Agreed. This has zero to do with the encryption of the connection. If you disable/change his account PW this is pushed immediately.

    The secure connection may still be made but the log on attempt will fail.

    The key here is “The domain contains ** a ** domain controller” .. just one domain controller.. so disabling the account either via ADUC or Administrative Center should do the trick..

    It has been mentioned the “changing the password” also does the trick… but specifically in domain with multiple servers in multiple sites is not the case.. let’s say the password was changed in some remote Domain Controllers.. the new password gets immediately replicated to the PDC.. now.. the case of “urgent replication” of passwords only occurs when this account tries to log in.. the Domain Controller sees a wrong password and talks to the PDC.. since the PDC has the new password it “urgently replicates” the password to the requesting DC.. but now.. let’s say.. you changed the password in a remote DC to try to prevent the account to log in… the employee tries to log in to a DC that has the old password… log in will succeed..
