d. You can either create a new tree or join an existing one with the Active Directory Installation Wizard. You can’t create an OU with the AD Installation Wizard.

c. Active Directory requires a DNS server. There aren’t any primary and backup domain controllers in a Windows 2000 network running in native mode, which is a prerequisite for Active Directory. All Windows 2000 domain controllers are peers.

c. You can look for your domain listed in My Network Places. Network Neighborhood has been replaced by My Network Places in Windows 2000. My Computer and the Control Panel won’t provide easy verification of the domain’s creation.

d. Microsoft Management Console is the name of the customizable configuration framework. The other choices don’t really exist in Windows 2000.

b. Intrasite replication is within a site, intersite replication is between sites. Both types of replication take place in native mode only.

d. Sites are designed to facilitate information transfer between devices by available bandwidth, regardless of proximity to the other devices in the site.

b and d. You can use either TCP/IP or SMTP for site replication traffic. HTTP and IPX/SPX can’t be used for site replication in Windows 2000.

c. Site link cost is a method of assigning values to multiple potential connections that could be used for replication traffic.

a. Both intersite and intrasite replication use a virtual ring topology for replication traffic regardless of the physical wiring of the network.

b. The first domain controller in a forest is automatically configured as the global catalog server.

b. A is an IP address, c is a web address, and d is just a random selection of characters.

a and d. Neither domain controllers nor system files can be moved between domains. User accounts and Organizational Units can be moved between domains.

b. MOVETREE is the name of the utility that can move objects between domains. A and d have multiple uses, but can’t move objects between domains; c doesn’t exist.

a and b. Neither FAT nor HPFS can store information in a Windows 2000 ACL.

a. Computers within an Active Directory tree have a transitive trust relationship.

c. Groups can be nested and permissions are inherited unless permission inheritance is disabled for the group.

b. Multiple RIS servers with different configurations are allowed in a domain. A rouge RIS server on a network is very rare compared to the chance that an Administrator could make an error configuring multiple RIS clients and RIS servers.

d. If a global catalog server is unavailable, users will not be able to log on to access network resources. None of the other operations masters are critical to network functionality on a short-term basis.

a. If you seize the role of a relative ID master, domain naming master or schema master, you have to format the hard drive before it can safely rejoin the network.

b. The Directory Service logs are viewable in the Event Viewer. They are the first place you should look when troubleshooting Active Directory.

c. When you move objects to a new domain, the files inherit the destination OU’s permissions, unless the files had individual permissions set, in which case they are retained, even after the move.

c. Take advantage of Windows 2000’s extensive group- and OU-based permissions. The more granular level permissions are allowed to be set at, the more work it is to keep track of those permissions.
