Q1. Your company has an Active Directory domain. The main office has a DNS server named DNS1 that is configured with Active Directory-integrated DNS. The branch office has a DNS server named DNS2 that contains a secondary copy of the zone from DNS1. The two offices are connected with an unreliable WAN link.
You add a new server to the main office.
Five minutes after adding the server, a user from the branch office reports that he is unable to connect to the new server.
You need to ensure that the user is able to connect to the new server.
What should you do?
A. Clear the cache on DNS2.
B. Reload the zone on DNS1.
C. Refresh the zone on DNS2.
D. Export the zone from DNS1 and import the zone to DNS2.
Answer: C
Explanation: Explanation:
Old Answer: Refresh the zone on DNS2. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794900%28v=ws.10%29.aspx Adjust the Refresh Interval for a Zone You can use this procedure to adjust the refresh interval for a Domain Name System (DNS) zone. The refresh interval determines how often other DNS servers that load and host the zone must attempt to renew the zone. By default, the refresh interval for each zone is set to 15 minutes. http://blog.ijun.org/2008/11/difference-between-dnscmd-clearcache.htmldifference between dnscmd /clearcache and ipconfig /flushdns
Q: Do "dnscmd /clearcache" and "ipconfig /flushdns" the exact same thing, on a windows 2003 server? What is the difference, if any?
A: Ipconfig /flushdns will flush the local computer cache. And dnscmd /clearcache will clear the dns server cache. Meaning that with the first you will clear the "local" cache of the server you work on. (Even if it is the dns server. It will NOT clear the dns server cache.) While with dnscmd you will clear the dns server cache.
Q2. You have an enterprise subordinate certification authority (CA).
You have a custom Version 3 certificate template.
Users can enroll for certificates based on the custom certificate template by using the
Certificates console. The certificate template is unavailable for Web enrollment.
You need to ensure that the certificate template is available on the Web enrollment pages.
What should you do?
A. Run certutil.exe pulse.
B. Run certutil.exe installcert.
C. Change the certificate template to a Version 2 certificate template.
D. On the certificate template, assign the Autoenroll permission to the users.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
Identical to F/Q33. Explanation 1: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732517.aspx Certificate Web enrollment cannot be used with version 3 certificate templates. Explanation 2: http://blogs.technet.com/b/ad/archive/2008/06/30/2008-web-enrollment-and-version-3-templates.aspx The reason for this blog post is that one of our customers called after noticing some unexpected behavior when they were trying to use the Server 2008 certificate web enrollment page to request a Version 3 Template based certificate. The problem was that no matter what they did the Version 3 Templates would not appear as certificates which could be requested via the web page. On the other hand, version 1 and 2 templates did appear in the page and requests could be done successfully using those templates.
Q3. Your company has an Active Directory domain that runs Windows Server 2008 R2. The Sales OU contains an OU for Computers, an OU for Groups, and an OU for Users.
You perform nightly backups. An administrator deletes the Groups OU.
You need to restore the Groups OU without affecting users and computers in the Sales OU.
What should you do?
A. Perform an authoritative restore of the Sales OU.
B. Perform a non-authoritative restore of the Sales OU.
C. Perform an authoritative restore of the Groups OU.
D. Perform a non-authoritative restore of the Groups OU.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Q4. You are installing an application on a computer that runs Windows Server 2008 R2. During installation, the application will need to install new attributes and classes to the Active Directory database.
You need to ensure that you can install the application. What should you do?
A. Change the functional level of the forest to Windows Server 2008 R2.
B. Log on by using an account that has Server Operator rights.
C. Log on by using an account that has Schema Administrator rights and the appropriate rights to install the application.
D. Log on by using an account that has the Enterprise Administrator rights and the appropriate rights to install the application.
Answer: C

Q5. Your network contains an Active Directory domain.
A user named User1 takes a leave of absence for one year.
You need to restrict access to the User1 user account while User1 is away.
What should you do?
A. From the Default Domain Policy, modify the account lockout settings.
B. From the Default Domain Controller Policy, modify the account lockout settings.
C. From the properties of the user account, modify the Account options.
D. From the properties of the user account, modify the Session settings.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Account lockout settings deal with logon security, like how many times a wrong password
can be entered before an account gets locked out, or after how many minutes a locked out
user can try again.
To really restrict access to the User1 account it has to be disabled, by modifying the
account options.
Explanation:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/msonline/archive/2009/08/17/disabling-and-deleting-user-accounts.aspx
Disabling a user account prevents user access to e-mail and Microsoft SharePoint Online
data, but retains the user’s data. Disabling a user account also keeps the user license
associated with that account. This is the best option to utilize when a person leaves an
organization temporarily.
Q6. Your company has a server that runs an instance of Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service (AD LDS).
You need to create new organizational units in the AD LDS application directory partition.

Q9. Your company has a main office and a branch office.
The network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The DNS zone for contoso.com is configured as an Active Directory-integrated zone and is replicated to all domain controllers in the domain.
The main office contains a writable domain controller named DC1. The branch office contains a read- only domain controller (RODC) named RODC1. All domain controllers run Windows Server 2008 R2 and are configured as DNS servers.
You uninstall the DNS server role from RODC1.
You need to prevent DNS records from replicating to RODC1.
What should you do?
A. Modify the replication scope for the contoso.com zone.
B. Flush the DNS cache and enable cache locking on RODC1.
C. Configure conditional forwarding for the contoso.com zone.
D. Modify the zone transfer settings for the contoso.com zone.
Answer: A
Explanation:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754916.aspx Change the Zone Replication Scope You can use the following procedure to change the replication scope for a zone. Only Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)–integrated primary and stub forward lookup zones can change their replication scope. Secondary forward lookup zones cannot change their replication scope. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772101.aspx Understanding DNS Zone Replication in Active Directory Domain Services You can store Domain Name System (DNS) zones in the domain or application directory partitions of Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). A partition is a data structure in AD DS that distinguishes data for different replication purposes. The following table describes the available zone replication scopes for AD DS-integrated DNS zone data.
C:\Documents and Settings\usernwz1\Desktop\1.PNG
When you decide which replication scope to choose, consider that the broader the replication scope, the greater the network traffic caused by replication. For example, if you decide to have AD DS–integrated DNS zone data replicated to all DNS servers in the forest, this will produce greater network traffic than replicating the DNS zone data to all DNS servers in a single AD DS domain in that forest.
AD DS-integrated DNS zone data that is stored in an application directory partition is not replicated to the global catalog for the forest. The domain controller that contains the global catalog can also host application directory partitions, but it will not replicate this data to its global catalog. AD DS-integrated DNS zone data that is stored in a domain partition is replicated to all domain controllers in its AD DS domain, and a portion of this data is stored in the global catalog. This setting is used to support Windows 2000. If an application directory partition's replication scope replicates across AD DS sites, replication will occur with the same intersite replication schedule as is used for domain partition data. By default, the Net Logon service registers domain controller locator (Locator) DNS resource records for the application directory partitions that are hosted on a domain controller in the same manner as it registers domain controller locator (Locator) DNS resource records for the domain partition that is hosted on a domain controller.
Q10. Your network contains a single Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
An administrator accidentally deletes the _msdsc.contoso.com zone. You recreate the _msdsc.contoso.com zone.
You need to ensure that the _msdsc.contoso.com zone contains all of the required DNS records.
What should you do on each domain controller?
A. Restart the Netlogon service.
B. Restart the DNS Server service.
C. Run dcdiag.exe /fix.
D. Run ipconfig.exe /registerdns.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation 1: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817470 To register the required records to the single root domain controller, restart the Net Logon service on all the domain controllers. The replication works correctly if the replication window is not less than the default DNS Time to Live (TTL) entry. To restart the Net Logon service, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
2. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER: net stop netlogon
3. Type net start netlogon, and then press ENTER.
Explanation 2:
http://serverfault.com/questions/383915/how-do-i-manually-create-the-msdcs-dns-zone-for-a-domain-that-wascreated-pre-s
Be sure to restart the Netlogon services on all DC's when the zone has been replicated to them. This forces the DC's to register their SRV records in the _msdcs zone.
Q11. Your company has four offices. The network contains a single Active Directory domain. Each office has a domain controller. Each office has an organizational unit (OU) that contains the user accounts for the users in that office. In each office, support technicians perform basic troubleshooting for the users in their respective office.
You need to ensure that the support technicians can reset the passwords for the user accounts in their respective office only. The solution must prevent the technicians from creating user accounts.
What should you do?
A. For each OU, run the Delegation of Control Wizard.
B. For the domain, run the Delegation of Control Wizard.
C. For each office, create an Active Directory group, and then modify the security settings for each group.
D. For each office, create an Active Directory group, and then modify the controlAccessRights attribute for each group.

11.7 Troubleshooting nslookup Problems
11.7.4 Query Refused Refused queries can cause problems at startup, and they can cause lookup failures during a session. Here's what it looks like when nslookup exits on startup because of a refused query: % nslookup *** Can't find server name for address 192.249.249.3: Query refused *** Default servers are not available % This one has two possible causes. Either your name server does not support inverse queries (older nslookups only), or zone security is stopping the lookup. Zone security is not limited to causing nslookup to fail to start up. It can also cause lookups and zone transfers to fail in the middle of a session when you point nslookup to a remote name server. This is what you will see: % nslookup Default Server: hp.com
Address: 15.255.152.4 > server terminator.movie.edu Default Server: terminator.movie.edu Address: 192.249.249.3 > carrie.movie.edu. Server: terminator.movie.edu Address: 192.249.249.3 *** terminator.movie.edu can't find carrie.movie.edu.: Query refused > ls movie.edu - This attempts a zone transfer [terminator.movie.edu] *** Can't list domain movie.edu: Query refused

C. From a Windows 7 computer, run djoin.exe.
D. Upgrade one domain controller to Windows Server 2008 R2.
E. Raise the functional level of the domain to Windows Server 2008.
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
MS Press - Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-640) (2nd Edition, July 2012) pages 217, 218
Offline Domain Join
Offline domain join is also useful when a computer is deployed in a lab or other disconnected environment.
When the computer is connected to the domain network and started for the first time, it will already be a member of the domain. This also helps to ensure that Group Policy settings are applied at the first startup.
Four major steps are required to join a computer to the domain by using offline domain join:
1. Log on to a computer in the domain that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 with an account that has permissions to join computers to the domain.
2. Use the DJoin command to provision a computer for offline domain join. This step prepopulates Active Directory with the information that Active Directory needs to join the computer to the domain, and exports the information called a blob to a text file.
3. At the offline computer that you want to join the domain use DJoin to import the blob into the Windows directory.
4. When you start or restart the computer, it will be a member of the domain.
