Q1.What roles does a directory server play in centralized management? Check all that apply.

1. Confidentiality
2. Authorization
3. Accounting
4. Centralized authentication

A directory server offers a centralized mechanism for handling authentication, authorization, and accounting. This is much more convenient and secure, compared to a bunch of disconnected local systems.

Q2.When there are conflicting GPOs, what's the order in which they're evaluated and applied?

1. OU, Site, Domain
2. Site, OU, Domain
3. Site, Domain, OU
4. OU, Domain, Site

Site-specific GPOs are applied first, followed by domain-specific ones. Lastly, OU GPOs are evaluated, from least specific to most specific.

Q3.Which component of an LDAP entry contains the unique entry name?

1. Common name
2. Organizational unit
3. Distinguished name

The distinguished name, or DN, is the unique entry for an LDAP record

.

Q4.Directory services store information in a heirarchical structure. Which statements about Organizational Units (OUs) of a directory service hierarchy are true? Check all that apply.

1. Changes can be made to one sub-OU without affecting other sub-OUs within the same parent.
2. Parent OUs inherit characteristics of their sub-members.
3. Specific files within an OU, or container, are called "objects."
4. Sub-member OUs inherit the characteristics of their parent OU.

Q7.Which of these statements are true about Domain Controllers (DCs)? Check all that apply.

1. You should always use your Domain Admin or Enterprise Admin for day-to-day use.
2. The default Organizational Unit (OU) called Domain Controllers contains all Domain Controllers in the domain.
3. Delegation can be used in Active Directory.
4. Changes that are safe to be made by multiple Domain * Controllers at once are tasked by granting them Flexible Single-Master Operations.

Q8.What is the difference between a group policy and a group policy preference?

1. Preferences are reapplied every 90 minutes, and policies are more of a settings template.
2. A preference is editable only by admins, but anyone can edit a policy.
3. A policy is editable only by admins, but anyone can edit a group policy preference.
4. Policies are reapplied every 90 minutes, and preferences are a settings template.

By default, policies in the GPO will be reapplied on the machine every 90 minutes. Group policy preferences, on the other hand, are settings that, in many cases, are meant to be a template for settings.

Q9.You'd like to change the minimum password length policy in the Default Domain Policy group policy preference (GPO). What's the best way to go about doing this?

1. Open ADAC and edit policy settings there
2. Open the Group Policy Management Console by running gpmc.msc from the CLI
3. Edit the Windows Registry to change group policy settings
4. Manually edit config files in SYSVOL

To change a group policy, we need to open GPMC and edit policy settings there.
