Microsoft Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment Sample Questions:

1. You are a network administrator for fabrikam.com. A file server named Server1 runs Windows Server 2003.
The server is backed up to an individual Digital Audio Tape.
The backup routine is as follows:
The disk hosting the volume that contains the file shares failed at 17:00 on Friday.
You replace the failed disk with a new disk.
You must completely restore the file shares using the least amount of administrative effort.
You need to accomplish this task by using the Backup Utility console.

A) Pending

2. You are the network administrator for your company. Your network consists of a single Active Directory
domain. All network servers run Windows Server 2003.
Each domain controller contains one disk that is configured with both the system partition and the boot
partition.
Every day, you use custom software to perform a full backup of user profiles and user data.
The custom backup software provides a bootable floppy disk that includes the drivers for the backup
media.
Every Sunday, you run the Automated System Recovery (ASR) wizard on your domain controllers in
conjunction with removable backup media.
Data is backed up in a file named Backup1.bkf. One Monday morning, you install a new application on a
domain controller named DC1.
When you restart DC1, you receive the following error message:
"NTLDR is missing. Press any key to restart."
You need to bring DC1 back online as quickly as possible.
What should you do?

A) Restart DC1 by using the bootable floppy disk. Copy the contents of the ASR disk to C:\. Restart DC1.
B) Restart DC1 by using the bootable floppy disk. Copy the contents of Backup1.bkf from the backup media to C:\winnt. Restart DC1.
C) Restart DC1 by using the installation CD-ROM. Restore the contents of Backup1.bkf by using the ASR disk. Restart DC1.
D) Restart DC1 by using the installation CD-ROM. Reinstall the operating system and restore the contents of the latest full backup by using the Restore wizard. Restart DC1.

3. You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2).
Server1 experiences a power failure and shuts down unexpectedly.
You start the server and receive the following error message; NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to
restart.
You need to ensure that you can run Windows Server 2003 on Server1.
What should you do first?

A) Create an Automated System Recovery (ASR) floppy disk from a different Windows Server 2003 SP2 server. Start Server1 from the ASR floppy disk.
B) Start Server1 and press F8.
C) Create a MS DOS startup disk. Start Server1 from the MS DOS startup disk.
D) Start Server1 by using the Windows Server 2003 SP2 installation media and access the Recovery Console.

4. Your network consists of a single Active Directory domain. All network servers run Windows Server 2003
Service Pack 2 (SP2).
The domain includes two global groups named ResearchManagers and ResearchUsers.
You create a share named ResearchData.
On the ResearchData share, you assign the Change permission to ResearchUsers and
ResearchManagers.
The ResearchData folder contains a file named ResearchConfidential.rtf.
The permissions for ResearchConfidential.rtf are configured as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit
button.)
Members of ResearchUsers report that when they try to open ResearchConfidential.rtf, they receive an
access denied message.
Users report that they can add and modify other files in ResearchData.
You need to ensure that ResearchUsers members can open ResearchConfidential.rtf.
The solution must prevent ResearchUsers members from modifying the file.
What should you do?
Exhibit:

A) On ResearchConfidential.rtf, enable permission inheritance.
B) On ResearchData, assign the Read permission to ResearchUsers.
C) On ResearchData, enable permission inheritance.
D) On ResearchConfidential.rtf, assign the Read permission to ResearchUsers.

5. You are the network administrator for your company. The network consists of a single Active Directory
domain. All network servers run Windows Server 2003.
All client computers run Windows XP Professional SP2.
Server1 is a domain controller. Server2 runs Windows Software Update Services (WSUS). No options have
been changed in the administrative console.
You configure the client computers to access the services on Server1 and Server2. An initial
synchronization and approval is successfully completed.
The client computers receive and install the approved patches successfully.
Three months later, Microsoft releases a critical security update for Windows XP Professional.
From a test client computer, you use Microsoft Update to download the update. You test the update and
receive no error messages.
Now you need to deploy the update to all client computers as quickly as possible. You must ensure that the
update is not deployed to any servers.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

A) On Server2, initiate synchronization.
B) On Server1, initiate replication.
C) On Server2, approve the security update.
D) On Server1, configure the Default Domain Policy Group Policy object (GPO) to distribute the security update.
