MSCE Interview Questions and Answers

Overview

Each current Consolidated Messenger domain will undergo an in place upgrade.
Contoso, Ltd., will be added to the forest, but will maintain its separate namespace.
The Contoso, Ltd., domain will be named ad.contoso.com. Their will be a single
forest design with a minimum number of domains.
3. Upgrading the Windows NT 4.0 domains in the Boston and San Diego offices
must be optimized to reduce the need for network administrators to travel between
offices.
4. Permissions must be maintained. Additional groups can be created for the
Deliveries database, as needed.
5. User and group accounts for Contoso, Ltd. will be recreated. However, desktop
settings for Contoso, Ltd., users must be preserved.


Network Infrastructure
The following Infrastructure requirements must be considered:
1. All Contoso, Ltd., client computers will run Windows XP Professional.
Consolidated Messenger has decided to migrate the user settings from the existing
Contoso, Ltd., client computers to ease the transition.
2. The Deliveries database is a missioncritical resource for Consolidated Messenger.
Database access for the Deliveries databases must be maintained in the event that
WAN connectivity is lost.
3. All domain controllers will be configured as DNS servers. Client computers will
be configured to point to the local DNS server.
4. DNS zones must be secured.
5. VPNs will be implemented in all locations to support remote access for wireless
devices.
6. Remote access policies will be centralized.
7. A single DHCP server will be configured in each office. In the event of a DHCP
server failure, client computers must be able to obtain an IP address.


QUESTION NO: 1
You are designing the DNS zone to support the Active Directory domain for
Contoso.Ltd. Which two actions should you perform? (Each Correct answer
presents part of the solution. Choose two).

A. Create ad.contoso.com as a standard primary DNS Zone.
B. Create ad.contoso.com as an Active DirectoryIntegrated DNS Zone.
C. Enable only authorized client computers to update DNS.
D. Configure a zone transfer between the DNS server at the ISP and the DNS servers at
Contoso.Ltd.

Answer: B, C

Explanation:
The case study specifically states that all Domain Controllers are DNS servers and that
zones must be secured.
When you are running the DNS server service on a computer that is an Active Directory
domain controller and you select the Store The Zone In Active Directory (Available Only
If DNS Server Is A Domain Controller) check box while creating a zone in the New Zone
Wizard, the server does not create a zone database file. Instead, the server stores the DNS
resource records for the zone in the Active Directory database. Storing the DNS database
in Active Directory provides a number of advantages, including ease of administration,
conservation of network bandwidth, and increased security.
Note: D does not make any sense.

Incorrect Options:
A: This type of zone can be modified, which is not secure.
C: The question speaks about designing a zone, not updates.

QUESTION NO: 3
You are designing a client computer upgrade strategy for Contoso.Ltd. What should
you do?

A. Use the ldifde command to migrate user settings.
B. Use the User State Migration Tool (USMT) to Migrate user settings.
C. Create trust relationships between the Chicago domain and the San Francisco domain.
Use the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) to migrate user settings.
D. Create trust relationships between the forest root domain and the San Francisco
domain. Use the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) to migrate user settings.

Answer: B

Explanation:
This command line tool is used to collect a user's documents and settings before an
operating system migration to Windows XP from an earlier version of Windows and to
restore them after the installation.

Incorrect Options:
A: This command line tool facilitates the importing and exporting of larger numbers of
security principals, including groups.
C, and D: Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) 2.0, which allows migration of
users and passwords from Windows NT 4.0 domains or Windows 2000 domains to
Windows 2003 domains.


QUESTION NO: 4
You are designing a DNS Name resolution strategy for the client computer in the
customer service department. What are the two possible ways to achieve the goal?
(Each Correct answer presents a complete solution. (Choose two)

A. Create a reverse lookup zone in DNS for each new Domain.
B. Add a WINS lookup record to the DNS forward lookup zone.
C. Add a WINS reverse record to the DNS reverse lookup zone.
D. Enable Dynamic updates for DownLevel client computers on each DHCP server.
E. Install the Active Directory Client on All Computers in the Customer service
department.

Answer: B, D

Explanation:
The WINS resource record instructs the DNS service to use WINS to look up and
forward queries for host names not found in the zone database.

"...the Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not request
updates (for example, clients running Windows NT 4.0) check box must also be selected
before DHCP will update the A and PTR records for these clients automatically. The
check box is not checked by default.

Incorrect Options:
A: The reverse lookup zone will handle those few queries where the client knows the IP
address and wants a host name. You can get by without creating reverse lookup zones
C: A WINS reverse lookup zone is of no use.


QUESTION NO: 5
You are designing DNS implemetation Strategy for the new Infrastruce. Which two
actions should you perform? (Each correct answer represents part of the solution.
Choose two).

A. Create a Stub Zone in each domain of the root zone.
B. Create a _msdcs subdomain in a new zone on the root domain.
C. Replicate the _msdcs subdomain across the roor domain.
D. Replicate the _msdcs subdomain to the ForestDNS zone applciation partition.
E. Configure a zone transfer of the _msdcs subdomain to secondary zone on all DNS
servers in the forest.

Answer: B, D

QUESTION NO :6
You are designing a remote access strategy to meet the business and technical
Requirement. What should you do?

A. Configure each server running Routing and Remote Access as a RADIUS Client.
B. Add a Remote Access policy to each server running Routing and Remote Access.
Configure the Access method as VPN access.
C. Add a Remote Access policy to each server running Routing and Remote Access.
Configure the Access method as dialup access.
D. Add a Remote Access policy to each server running Routing and Remote Access.
Configure the Access method as wireless access.

Answer: A.

Explanation:
IAS is the Microsoft implementation of a RADIUS server and proxy.
The basic purpose of a RADIUS server is to centralize remote access authentication,
authorization, and logging. RADIUS is useful, for example, in large organizations such
as ISPs that need to manage many remote access connections to separate remote access
servers.

For basic RADIUS scenarios in which no RADIUS proxy is implemented, deploying IAS
as a RADIUS server requires configuration both at the client running Routing And
Remote Access and at the server running IAS.

Incorrect Options:
B, C and D: The case study specifies that Remote Access policies will be centralized.


QUESTION NO: 7
You are designing a DNS implementing strategy to meet the business and technical
requirement. Which type of zone should you use?

A. Sub Zones
B. Standard Primary Zones
C. Secondary Zones
D. Active DirectoryIntegrated Zones

Answer: D

Explanation:
The case study specifically states that all Domain Controllers are DNS servers and that
zones must be secured.

When you are running the DNS server service on a computer that is an Active Directory
domain controller and you select the Store The Zone In Active Directory (Available Only
If DNS Server Is A Domain Controller) check box while creating a zone in the New Zone
Wizard, the server does not create a zone database file. Instead, the server stores the DNS
resource records for the zone in the Active Directory database. Storing the DNS database
in Active Directory provides a number of advantages, including ease of administration,
conservation of network bandwidth, and increased security.

Incorrect Options:
A: Stub zones are most frequently used to keep track of the name servers authoritative
for delegated zones.
B: For standard primary zones, only a single server can host and load the master copy of
the zone. If you create a zone and keep it as a standard primary zone, no additional
primary servers for the zone are permitted.
C: Secondary zones can increase fault tolerance and availability, but zone transfer traffic
can consume unacceptable amounts of bandwidth in some circumstances.
