MCTS 70-640 Introduction to MCTS 70-640 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which Windows Server 2008 R2 role must be installed before you can promote a server to a domain controller?
- DNS Server
- Active Directory Domain Services (Correct answer)
- DHCP Server
- File Services
Correct answer: Active Directory Domain Services
The Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) role must be installed via Server Manager before running dcpromo to promote a server.
Question 2: What is the default replication interval between sites in Active Directory when using the default site link?
- 15 minutes
- 60 minutes
- 180 minutes (Correct answer)
- 720 minutes
Correct answer: 180 minutes
The default DEFAULTIPSITELINK replicates every 180 minutes (3 hours).
Question 3: Which tool is used in Windows Server 2008 R2 to manage Flexible Single Master Operation (FSMO) roles via a GUI?
- Active Directory Users and Computers (Correct answer)
- Active Directory Sites and Services
- Group Policy Management Console
- Active Directory Administrative Center
Correct answer: Active Directory Users and Computers
Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) provides access to transfer certain FSMO roles, such as PDC Emulator and RID Master, through its Operations Masters dialog.
Question 4: A forest functional level of Windows Server 2003 enables which feature not available at Windows 2000 native level?
- Universal security groups
- SID history
- Linked-value replication (Correct answer)
- Kerberos authentication
Correct answer: Linked-value replication
Linked-value replication, which replicates individual group member changes rather than the entire membership, became available at the Windows Server 2003 forest functional level.
Question 5: When you run dcpromo with the /adv switch, what additional capability does it provide?
- Installs AD DS silently without prompts
- Allows installing from media (IFM) to reduce replication traffic (Correct answer)
- Forces demotion of a domain controller
- Enables read-only DC installation
Correct answer: Allows installing from media (IFM) to reduce replication traffic
The /adv (advanced) switch enables the Install from Media (IFM) option, letting you use a backup to seed AD DS and minimize replication during promotion.
Question 6: Which partition in Active Directory stores information that is replicated only within a single domain?
- Schema partition
- Configuration partition
- Domain partition (Correct answer)
- Application partition
Correct answer: Domain partition
The domain partition (also called the domain naming context) contains domain-specific objects like users and computers and replicates only to DCs within the same domain.
Question 7: What is the primary purpose of the Infrastructure Master FSMO role?
- Handling all password changes in the domain
- Updating cross-domain group-to-user references (Correct answer)
- Managing the pool of RIDs for security principals
- Controlling schema modifications
Correct answer: Updating cross-domain group-to-user references
The Infrastructure Master updates references to objects in other domains so cross-domain group memberships remain accurate.
