MCSE 70-296: Planning and Maintaining Windows Server 2003 Environment 3

Question 1

Which Windows Server 2003 service translates NetBIOS names to IP addresses and is required in networks that still use legacy Windows applications relying on NetBIOS name resolution?

Accepted Answer

WINS

Answer

Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) provides NetBIOS name-to-IP address resolution, which is required by legacy Windows applications that use NetBIOS naming rather than DNS.

Question 2

You need to ensure a Windows Server 2003 volume can survive the failure of any single disk. You have exactly 2 disks available. Which disk configuration should you implement?

Accepted Answer

Mirrored volume (RAID-1)

Answer

A mirrored volume (RAID-1) duplicates data across exactly 2 disks, providing fault tolerance against a single-disk failure with 50% storage efficiency.

Question 3

A Windows Server 2003 DHCP server is not issuing addresses to clients. You verify the DHCP service is running. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The DHCP scope is not authorized in Active Directory

Answer

In a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory domain, DHCP servers must be authorized in Active Directory before they can issue IP addresses; an unauthorized DHCP server will not respond to client requests.

Question 4

You want to configure a Windows Server 2003 print server to manage 20 printers for 300 users. Which MMC snap-in is the primary tool for managing printers on a Windows Server 2003 print server?

Accepted Answer

Computer Management

Answer

Computer Management includes the Print Management node in Windows Server 2003, allowing administrators to manage printers, queues, and drivers on local and remote print servers.

Question 5

Which Windows Server 2003 feature allows an administrator to take point-in-time snapshots of volumes so that users can recover previous versions of files without administrator involvement?

Accepted Answer

Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)

Answer

Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) creates point-in-time snapshots of shared volumes, enabling users to access the 'Previous Versions' tab to self-recover accidentally deleted or modified files.
