Research on Windows Server 2012 IP Address Management (IPAM) recommends provisioning IPAM using which method to minimize manual configuration?
Answer: Group Policy-based provisioning
Group Policy-based IPAM provisioning automatically distributes required settings to managed DHCP and DNS servers, reducing configuration errors per Microsoft evidence-based guidance.
According to Windows Server 2012 security research, which auditing subcategory should be enabled to detect privilege escalation attempts?
Answer: Audit Sensitive Privilege Use
Auditing Sensitive Privilege Use records events when sensitive privileges such as SeDebugPrivilege or SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege are used, detecting escalation attempts.
Evidence-based Windows Server 2012 network research recommends enabling which feature on server NICs to improve throughput for large file transfers?
Answer: Jumbo Frames
Jumbo Frames (MTU 9000) reduce per-packet overhead and CPU usage during large file transfers, improving throughput on networks where all devices support them.
Based on Active Directory research, what is the recommended tombstone lifetime for Windows Server 2012 forests to support offline domain controllers?
Answer: 180 days
Microsoft's AD team changed the default tombstone lifetime to 180 days in newer forests, allowing DCs to be offline longer before they must be rebuilt.
Research on Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services recommends which licensing mode for devices that are always the same physical machine?
Answer: Per Device CAL
Per Device CALs are cost-effective when a fixed number of devices access RDS, regardless of how many users share each device, per Microsoft licensing research.
According to Windows Server 2012 deployment research, which Sysprep generalize option must be used before capturing an image for deployment to different hardware?
Answer: /generalize
Sysprep /generalize removes hardware-specific settings and resets the SID so the image can be deployed to different hardware without conflicts.
Evidence-based Windows Server 2012 SMB research recommends disabling which legacy protocol version to eliminate the EternalBlue vulnerability vector?
Answer: SMB 1.0
SMB 1.0 contains the vulnerability exploited by EternalBlue (MS17-010); disabling it entirely is the evidence-based recommendation to eliminate this attack vector.
