MCSE Windows Server Administration & Group Policy

Question 1

Which Windows Server role must be installed before you can promote a server to a Domain Controller using Server Manager?

Accepted Answer

Active Directory Domain Services

Answer

Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is the prerequisite role that must be installed before running the AD DS Configuration Wizard to promote a server to a Domain Controller.

Question 2

An administrator needs to configure a GPO so that settings apply only to computers in the Finance OU, not to users in the same OU. Which GPO processing option should be used?

Accepted Answer

Loopback Processing in Replace mode

Answer

Loopback Processing in Replace mode causes the computer's GPOs to apply to all users who log on to that computer, effectively overriding user-side GPOs with computer-side settings.

Question 3

Which tool is used to perform an authoritative restore of deleted Active Directory objects without restoring the entire AD database?

Accepted Answer

Active Directory Recycle Bin

Answer

The Active Directory Recycle Bin (enabled via Active Directory Administrative Center or PowerShell) allows deleted objects to be restored with all attributes intact without requiring a full authoritative restore.

Question 4

What is the default interval at which Group Policy is refreshed on domain member computers (non-domain controllers)?

Accepted Answer

90 minutes with a 0-30 minute random offset

Answer

By default, Group Policy refreshes every 90 minutes with a random offset of 0 to 30 minutes to prevent all machines from refreshing simultaneously.

Question 5

Which Windows Server feature enables administrators to install server roles and features on remote servers, including offline VHDs, directly from Server Manager?

Accepted Answer

Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT)

Answer

RSAT allows administrators to manage roles and features on remote Windows Servers, including adding roles/features to offline VHDs, from a local Server Manager console.
