MCTS 70-642 Professional Standards & Competencies 3

Question 1

A Windows Server 2008 administrator needs to delegate DNS zone management to a junior technician without granting full administrative rights. What is the best approach?

Accepted Answer

Use Role-Based Access Control and delegate specific DNS management permissions

Answer

Delegating specific permissions using RBAC allows the technician to manage DNS without gaining broader administrative privileges.

Question 2

Which approach best supports business continuity when performing maintenance on a production Windows Server 2008 DNS server?

Accepted Answer

Schedule maintenance during a pre-approved change window with a rollback plan

Answer

Scheduled change windows with rollback plans minimize risk to production services and ensure changes can be undone if problems arise.

Question 3

A network technician discovers an undocumented server running on the corporate network. What is the most appropriate first step?

Accepted Answer

Report the discovery to the security team and document the finding

Answer

Undocumented servers represent a potential security risk and must be reported and properly investigated before any action is taken.

Question 4

When decommissioning a Windows Server 2008 machine that stored sensitive data, what MUST be done before physical disposal?

Accepted Answer

Perform certified data destruction or secure disk wiping to DoD or NIST standards

Answer

Standard formatting does not securely erase data; certified wiping or physical destruction is required to prevent data recovery.

Question 5

A company requires that all network configuration changes be tested in a staging environment before production deployment. This practice best demonstrates which competency?

Accepted Answer

Risk management through controlled change validation

Answer

Testing in a staging environment before production deployment is a core risk management practice that reduces the chance of outages.
