Administering Windows Server 2012 Technology & Digital Applications 5 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In Windows Server 2012, which protocol does DirectAccess use to tunnel IPv6 traffic over IPv4 networks when native IPv6 is unavailable?
- 6to4 and Teredo (Correct answer)
- PPTP
- L2TP/IPsec
- SSTP
Correct answer: 6to4 and Teredo
DirectAccess uses 6to4, Teredo, and IP-HTTPS transition technologies to carry IPv6 over IPv4 internet connections.
Question 2: What is the role of the 'Key Management Service (KMS)' in a Windows Server 2012 environment?
- Activates Windows and Office products on internal network clients without internet access (Correct answer)
- Manages certificate private keys for PKI
- Distributes BitLocker recovery keys to domain clients
- Controls product licensing for RDS connections
Correct answer: Activates Windows and Office products on internal network clients without internet access
KMS is a volume activation service that allows domain-joined machines to activate Windows and Office using an internal server instead of Microsoft's servers.
Question 3: Which Windows Server 2012 component provides a way to deploy and manage web applications using a standardized hosting platform?
- Internet Information Services (IIS) 8.0 (Correct answer)
- Web Application Proxy
- Windows Process Activation Service
- Application Server role
Correct answer: Internet Information Services (IIS) 8.0
IIS 8.0 in Windows Server 2012 provides enhanced features including SNI for SSL, CPU throttling, and application initialization.
Question 4: An organization wants to allow external users to access internal web applications securely without a VPN. Which Windows Server 2012 role is designed for this purpose?
- Web Application Proxy (Correct answer)
- DirectAccess
- Network Policy Server
- Remote Desktop Gateway
Correct answer: Web Application Proxy
Web Application Proxy (WAP) is a Remote Access role service that publishes internal applications externally with pre-authentication via AD FS.
Question 5: In Windows Server 2012, what is 'Dynamic Access Control (DAC)' used for?
- Claims-based file access control that uses user and device attributes for authorization (Correct answer)
- Automatic IP address assignment based on device type
- Dynamic firewall rules based on network traffic patterns
- Automatic disk quota adjustment based on user department
Correct answer: Claims-based file access control that uses user and device attributes for authorization
DAC extends traditional ACL-based access control by using Active Directory claims (user attributes, device attributes) in access decisions.
Question 6: Which Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V networking feature creates an isolated network switch that allows VMs to communicate only with the host and each other?
- Private virtual switch (Correct answer)
- Internal virtual switch
- External virtual switch
- NAT virtual switch
Correct answer: Private virtual switch
A private virtual switch isolates VMs from the external network and the host OS, allowing only VM-to-VM communication.
Question 7: In Windows Server 2012, which command-line tool allows administrators to manage Windows Server roles from the command line using XML-based configuration?
- Sconfig
- Dism (Correct answer)
- Netsh
- Servermanagercmd
