Your network contains two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2008.
Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) 2007 is installed on Server2.
The Hyper-V role is installed on Server1.
Server1 hosts five child virtual machines that run Windows Server 2003.

You need to recommend a solution that enables administrators to monitor the child virtual machines.
The solution must gather the following data from the virtual machines:
– Performance statistics
– Event data from the application log

What should you recommend?

Your company has one main office and one branch office.
An Active Directory site exists for each office.
The offices are connected across a wide area network (WAN) link.
Servers in both offices run Windows Server 2008.

You need to plan a failover clustering solution for servers that run Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

The solution must meet the following requirements:
– Withstand the failure of any single cluster node.
– Minimize the number of servers required to implement failover clustering.

What should you include in your plan?

Your network consists of one Active Directory domain.
The network contains one Active Directory site.
All domain controllers run Windows Server 2008.
You create a second Active Directory site and plan to install a domain controller that runs Windows Server 2008 in the new site.
You also plan to deploy a new firewall to connect the two sites.

You need to enable the domain controllers to replicate between the two sites.

Which traffic should you permit through the firewall?

Your network consists of one Active Directory domain.
All domain controllers run Windows Server 2003.

You need to plan the forest and domain functional levels to support the following requirements:
– Read-only domain controllers (RODC)
– Windows Server 2003 domain controllers

Which functional levels should you include in your plan?

Your network consists of 20 Active directory domains in a single forest.
The functional level of the forest is Windows Server 2008.
You company has 20 departments. A separate domain exists for each department.
Each domain has an organizational unit (OU) named DepartmentUsers that contains the respective domain users.
Each domain has its own IT department.

You need to plan the consolidation of all the IT departments into a single IT department.

The solution must meet the following requirements:
– IT administrators must be denied from making domain-wide changes.
– IT administrators must be able to administer users in all departments.
– Your solution must use the minimum amount of administrative effort.

What should you include in your plan?

Your company has 50 offices. Twenty offices are in North America and 30 offices are in Europe.
An Active Directory site exists for each office. The network consists of one Active directory domain.
All domain controllers run Windows Server 2008.
You use a domain-level Group Policy object (GPO) to install an application named App1 on all client computers.

You need to deploy a GPO solution to meet the following requirements:
– Maintain all settings applied by the existing GPOs.
– Deploy shared printers based on computer location.

What should you do?

Your company has 10 offices.
Each office has 10 domain controllers that run Windows Server 2008.
The network consists of one Active directory domain. Each office has a local administrator.
You use domain- level Group Policy objects (GPO).
Office administrators have the necessary permissions to create and link domain-level Group Policy objects.
You create custom Administrative Template (.admx) files locally on a computer that runs Windows Vista.

You need to implement a GPO management strategy to ensure that the administrators can access the .admx files and any future updates to the .admx files from each office. The solution must ensure that .admx files remain identical across the company.

What should you do?

Your network consists of one Active Directory forest that contains two domains.
All domain controllers run Windows Server 2003.
The network contains file servers that run Windows Server 2003 R2.
The files servers run DFS Replication.
The forest root domain is named contoso.com and the child domain is named corp.contoso.com.
You prepare the forest schema for the installation of domain controllers that run Windows Server 2008.
You prepare the corp.contoso.com domain. You install a new domain controller that runs Windows Server 2008 on corp.contoso.com.

You need to plan an Active Directory implementation to meet the following requirements:
– Enable DFS Replication support for SYSVOL on corp.contoso.com.
– Allow the installation of new domain controllers that run Windows Server 2003 in the forest root domain.

What should you include in your plan?

Your network consists of one Active Directory forest that contains four Active Directory domains named Sales, Marketing, Finance, and IT.
The Finance domain contains a domain controller that runs Windows Server 2008.
The Sales, Marketing, and IT domains contain only domain controllers that run Windows Server 2003.

You need to prepare the environment for the deployment of a read-only domain controller (RODC) in the Finance domain and in the IT domain. You must ensure that the RODC can advertise itself as a global catalog server.

Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

Your network consists of one Active directory domain.
The functional level of the domain is Windows Server 2008.
You have one organizational unit (OU) named AllUsers that contains all user accounts for the domain.
Your company has two departments named Sales and Engineering.
Each department has a department manager. Each department has a global security group that contains all department users.

You need to prepare the environment to manage all user accounts.

The solution must meet the following requirements:

– Sales department users must be required to reset their passwords every 30 days.
– Department managers must administer only users in their respective departments.
– Engineering department users must be required to reset their passwords every 45 days.
– The solution must be achieved by using the minimum amount of administrative effort.
