  1. Your Windows Server 2003 WINS server database has grown very large, causing slow query response times. You want to remove records for clients that have not renewed their registrations. What should you run?

    Answer: WINS database scavenging

    WINS database scavenging removes extinct and released records based on configurable extinction intervals, reducing database size.

  2. You are configuring a Windows Server 2003 VPN server to use L2TP/IPSec for remote access. Clients are unable to establish connections. You verify that certificates are properly installed. What else must be verified on the firewall?

    Answer: UDP ports 500 and 4500, and IP protocol 50 are open

    L2TP/IPSec requires UDP 500 (IKE), UDP 4500 (NAT-T), and IP protocol 50 (ESP) to be permitted through the firewall.

  3. A Windows Server 2003 DNS zone contains a large number of stale resource records from decommissioned servers. You want to automatically remove them. What must you configure?

    Answer: Enable aging and scavenging on the zone and DNS server

    DNS aging and scavenging must be enabled on both the individual zone and the DNS server before stale records are automatically removed.

  4. You need to provide fault tolerance for your Windows Server 2003 DHCP infrastructure. If the primary DHCP server fails, clients must continue to receive addresses. Which approach meets this requirement with the least administrative overhead?

    Answer: Configure an 80/20 split scope between two DHCP servers

    The 80/20 rule splits the scope so the primary handles 80% of addresses and the backup handles 20%, providing automatic redundancy with minimal configuration.

  5. A security audit reveals that employees are using unauthorized protocols on the network. You want to use Windows Server 2003 to block all protocols except HTTP, HTTPS, and DNS at the server level without deploying a hardware firewall. What should you use?

    Answer: Internet Connection Firewall enabled on the network adapter

    Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) in Windows Server 2003 provides host-based packet filtering and can be configured to allow only specific ports.

  6. You are planning the migration of a Windows NT 4.0 WINS infrastructure to Windows Server 2003. During the transition, both WINS servers will coexist. What must you configure to ensure WINS database consistency?

    Answer: Configure replication partnerships between the NT 4.0 and Server 2003 WINS servers

    Configuring WINS replication partnerships between the two servers ensures that registrations on either server are replicated to the other during coexistence.

  7. You need to configure a Windows Server 2003 RRAS server so that remote access clients receive specific DNS and WINS server addresses that differ from the server's own settings. Where should these be configured?

    Answer: Remote Access Policy profile IP settings

    The Remote Access Policy profile allows you to specify IP settings such as DNS and WINS server addresses that override DHCP-delivered options for remote clients.
