You have an Active Directory directory service environment with a single forest and multiple domains. You create a new domain named sales.west.corp.contoso.com. E-mail addresses are username@sales.west.corp.contoso.com. Users log on to the domain using their e-mail address. Logging on is tedious for users in the new domain due to the lengthy logon names. You need to shorten users logon names. What should you do first?

You have a single Active Directory directory service forest with one domain. You have an existing top-level organizational unit (OU) named Sales. You are planning to create a new top-level OU named Training. The Sales and Training OUs must have the same security and auditing settings. You need to identify the security permissions and audit settings for the Sales OU so that you can delegate the same permissions for the Training OU. What should you do first?

You have an Active Directory directory service forest with a forest root domain. The root domain has two child domains named na.corp.contoso.com and asia.prod.contoso.com. You have an Active Directory site for each domain. All sites are connected through the DEFAULTIPSITELINK site link. You need to minimize the time that is required to authenticate users when they access resources in the other domain. What should you do?

Your company has a single Active Directory directory service forest with a forest root domain and a child domain. The child domain is set to the default domain functional level. You install a second domain controller in the child domain by promoting a server named SVR1. You need to rename SVR1 to DC2, and you must ensure that there will be no interruption in the ability of client computers to authenticate to DC2, except during reboot. What should you do?

You are the network administrator for a bank that has a main office and many small branch offices. The
bank’s network consists of a single Active Directory domain. All servers run Windows Server 2003. The
domain has an organizational unit (OU) for each branch office. Group Policy objects (GPOs) linked to these
OUs are used to configure bank resources. Under each branch office’s OU, there is an OU named
UserAccounts that contains user accounts and an OU named Workstations that contains client computer
accounts. A single administrative user at each branch office provides desktop support and administration for
the branch office. The number of support calls for the branch office administrators recently increased
because users are making configuration changes to their computers. You need to restrict desktop features
and administrative tools for all users except the administrative user in each branch office. You create a GPO
that applies the desktop restrictions. What else should you do?

You are the network administrator for your company. The network consists of a single Active Directory
domain. The domain contains Windows Server 2003 print servers and printer objects. A group named
PrinterSupport needs to be able to manage the printers and print queues in the domain. The PrinterSupport
group also needs to manage the printer objects in Active Directory. The PrinterSupport group does not need
to perform any other tasks. You need to grant the PrinterSupport group only the permissions that it needs.
Which action or actions should you take? (Choose all that apply.)

You are the network administrator for your company. The network consists of a single Active Directory
domain. All servers run Windows Server 2003. All client computers run Windows XP Professional. The
company has one office in New York and another office in Ottawa. Each office is configured as an Active
Directory site. Each site contains two domain controllers. The network is configured to display a legal notice
on the computer screens of all users before they log on to their client computers. At the request of the legal
department, you make changes to the wording of the notice by changing the settings in a Group Policy
object (GPO). The GPO is linked to the domain. The legal department reports that not all users are
receiving the new notice. You discover that users in the Ottawa office receive the new notice, but users in
the New York office receive the old notice. The problem continues for several days. You need to ensure that
the new notice appears correctly on all computers in the network. What should you do?

Your Windows Server 2003 environment consists of a single Active Directory directory service forest with multiple domains. The forest functional level is set to Windows 2000 Server. Your company has a main office and four branch offices. Each office has two domain controllers. The domain controllers in the main office are global catalog servers. In the branch offices, searches for some printers in Active Directory are slow. You need to improve the performance of Active Directory printer searches in the four branch offices. What should you do?
