Microsoft 70-417 Free Practice Questions

Q1. Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a main office and a branch office. An Active Directory site exists for each office. 

The domain contains two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2012 R2. 

Both servers have the DHCP Server server role installed. Server1 is located in the main office site. 

Server2 is located in the branch office site. Server1 provides IPv4 addresses to the client computers in the main office site. Server2 provides IPv4 addresses to the client computers in the branch office site. 

You need to ensure that if either Server1 or Server2 are offline, the client computers can still obtain IPv4 addresses. The solution must meet the following requirements: 

The storage location of the DHCP databases must not be a single point of failure. Server1 must provide IPv4 addresses to the client computers in the branch office site only if Server2 is offline. 

Server2 must provide IPv4 addresses to the client computers in the main office site only if Server1 is offline. 

Which configuration should you use? 

A. Load sharing mode failover partners 

B. Hot standby mode failover partners 

C. A Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster 

D. A failover cluster

Explanation: 

http://blogs.technet.com/b/teamdhcp/archive/2012/06/28/ensuring-high-availability-of-dhcpusingwindowsserver-2012-dhcp-failover.aspx Ensuring High Availability of DHCP using Windows Server 2012 R2 DHCP Failover The Hot Standby mode results in an Active-Passive configuration. You will be required to designate one of the two DHCP servers as the active server and the other as standby. The standby server is dormant with regard to serving client requests as long as the active server is up. 

However, the standby server receives all the inbound lease updates from the active DHCP server and keeps its database up to date. http://blogs.technet.com/b/teamdhcp/archive/2012/09/03/dhcp-failover-hot-standbymode.aspx DHCP Failover Hot-Standby Mode In the previous blog on DHCP Failover, we discussed the DHCP failover load balance mode where both DHCP servers respond to client requests and load balance the requests between them based on an admin specified load distribution ratio. In the other mode of a failover relationship, known as the Hot-Standby mode (ActivePassive), only one of the servers actively leases IP addresses and option configuration to clients in given subnet(s)/scope(s) while the other server (standby) is passive. 

The standby server services the clients, only in event of active server being down. The clients fallback to the active server once the active server becomes available again post the outage. The Load balance mode is more suited for single site deployment where the 2 DHCP servers in a failover relationship are co-located with the subnets/scopes being served by them. As the servers are in network proximity with the clients, the clients do not experience any latency while acquiring or renewing an IP address. Hot-Standby mode is more suited for multisite deployment topologies. Each site would have a local DHCP server which is configured to provide the DHCP service to the clients on the local network and DHCP server at a remote site would be standby server. In a normal state of operation, computers and devices on a given site receive IP addresses and other network configuration from the DHCP server located at the same site as the clients. However, in the event of the local DHCP server being down, the DHCP server from the remote site would provide the service to the clients. You could choose to deploy hot standby mode in a single-site deployment also if you need to. 

Q2. Your company has a main office and a branch office. 

The network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. 

The main office contains a domain controller named DC1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2. 

DC1 is a DNS server and hosts a primary zone for contoso.com. The branch office contains a member server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2. Server1 is a DNS server and hosts a secondary zone for contoso.com. 

The main office connects to the branch office by using an unreliable WAN link. 

You need to ensure that Server1 can resolve names in contoso.com if the WAN link in unavailable for three days. 

Which setting should you modify in the start of authority (SOA) record? 

A. Retry interval 

B. Refresh interval 

C. Expires after 

D. Minimum (default) TTL 

Answer:

Explanation: Used by other DNS servers that are configured to load and host the zone to determine when zone data expires if it is not renewed 

Q3. You have a datacenter that contains six servers. Each server has the Hyper-V server role installed and runs Windows Server 2012 R2. The servers are configured as shown in the following table. 

Host4 and Host5 are part of a cluster named Cluster1. Cluster1 hosts a virtual machine named VM1. 

You need to move VM1 to another Hyper-V host. The solution must minimize the downtime of VM1. 

To which server and by which method should you move VM1? 

A. To Host3 by using a storage migration 

B. To Host6 by using a storage migration 

C. To Host2 by using a live migration 

D. To Host1 by using a quick migration 

Answer:

Explanation: 

The processor vendors should be the same so Host2 and Host6 are not possible answers Local disk cannot be used neither so Host1 is not a possible answer neither For more information about VM storage migration: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831656.aspx Virtual Machine Storage Migration Overview Applies To: Windows Server 2012 R2 In Windows Server 2008 R2, you can move a running instance of a virtual machine using live migration, but you are not able to move the virtual machine's storage while the virtual machine is running. Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012 R2 introduces support for moving virtual machine storage without downtime by making it possible to move the storage while the virtual machine remains running. You can perform this task by using a new wizard in Hyper-V Manager or by using new Hyper-V cmdlets for Windows PowerShell. You can add storage to either a stand-alone computer or to a Hyper-V cluster, and then move virtual machines to the new storage while the virtual machines continue to run. The most common reason for moving a virtual machine's storage is to update the physical storage that is available to Hyper-V. You can also move virtual machine storage between physical storage devices, at run time, to respond to reduced performance that results from bottlenecks in the storage throughput. 

Key benefits Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012 R2 makes it possible to move virtual machine storage while a virtual machine is running. Requirements You need the following to use the Hyper-V functionality of moving virtual machine storage: 

One or more installations of Windows Server 2012 R2 with the Hyper-V role installed. A server that is capable of running Hyper-V. Specifically, it must have processor support for hardware virtualization. Virtual machines that are configured to use only virtual hard disks for storage. NOTE: You cannot move the storage of a virtual machine when any of its storage is directly attached to a physical disk. Technical overview. This new feature allows you to move the virtual hard disks of a virtual machine while those virtual hard disks remain available for use by the running virtual machine. When you move a running virtual machine's virtual hard disks, Hyper-V performs the following steps, as shown in Figure 1: Throughout most of the move operation, disk reads and writes go to the source virtual hard disk. While reads and writes occur on the source virtual hard disk, the disk contents are copied to the new destination virtual hard disk. After the initial disk copy is complete, disk writes are mirrored to both the source and destination virtual hard disks while outstanding disk changes are replicated. After the source and destination virtual hard disks are completely synchronized, the virtual machine switches over to using the destination virtual hard disk. The source virtual hard disk is deleted.

A. The Add-CauClusterRolecmdlet 

B. TheWuauclt command 

C. TheWusa command 

D. The Invoke-CauScancmdlet 

Answer:

Explanation: 

The Invoke-CauScancmdlet performs a scan of cluster nodes for applicable updates and returns a list of the initial set of updates that would be applied to each node in a specified cluster. 

Q7. Your network contains two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2012 R2. Server1 and Server2 are part of a workgroup. 

On Server1 and Server2, you create a local user account named Admin1. You add the account to the local Administrators group. On both servers, Admin1 has the same password. 

You log on to Server1 as Admin1. You open Computer Management and you connect to Server2. 

When you attempt to create a scheduled task, view the event logs, and manage the shared folders, you receive Access Denied messages. 

You need to ensure that you can administer Server2 remotely from Server1 by using Computer Management. What should you configure on Server2? 

A. From Local Users and Groups, modify the membership of the Remote Management Users group. 

B. From Server Manager, modify the Remote Management setting. 

C. From Windows Firewall, modify the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) firewall rule. 

D. From Registry Editor, configure the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicyresgistry value 

Answer:

Q8. Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. All domain 

controllers run Windows Server 2012 R2. 

Administrators use client computers that run Windows 8 to perform all management tasks. 

A central store is configured on a domain controller named DC1. 

You have a custom administrative template file named AppLadmx. App1.admx contains 

application settings for an application named App1. 

From a client computer named Computer1, you create a new Group Policy object (GPO) 

named GPO1. 

You discover that the application settings for App1 fail to appear in GPO1. 

You need to ensure that the App1 settings appear in all of the new GPOs that you create. 

What should you do? 

A. From the Default Domain Controllers Policy, add App1.admx to the Administrative Templates. 

B. Copy App1.admx to \\Contoso.com\SYSVOL\Contoso.com\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\. 

C. From the Default Domain Policy, add App1.admx to the Administrative Templates. 

D. Copy App1.admx to \\Contoso.com\SYSVOL\Contoso.com\StarterGPOs. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

To take advantage of the benefits of .admx files, you must create a Central Store in the SYSVOL folder on a domain controller. The Central Store is a file location that is checked by the Group Policy tools. The Group Policy tools use any .admx files that are in the Central Store. The files that are in the Central Store are later replicated to all domain controllers in the domain. 

Q9. You have a DNS server named DNS1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2. 

On DNS1, you create a standard primary DNS zone named adatum.com. 

You need to change the frequency that secondary name servers will replicate the zone 

from DNS1. 

Which type of DNS record should you modify? 

A. Name server (NS) 

B. Start of authority (SOA) 

C. Host information (HINFO) 

D. Service location (SRV) 

Answer:

Explanation: 

The time to live is specified in the Start of Authority (SOA) record Note: TTL (time to live) - The number of seconds a domain name is cached locally before expiration and return to authoritative nameservers for updated information. 

Q10. You can create a printing pool to automatically distribute print jobs to the next available 

printer. A printing pool is one logical printer connected to multiple printers through multiple 

ports of the print server. 

The printer that is idle receives the next document sent to the logical printer.
