5. Deployment Toolkit (MDT)
6. False
7. A migration
8. Desktop Experience, Server Core, and Nano Server
9. Windows Server 2019 installation files must be on DVD media and bootable. Like DVD media, a USB flash drive is required to contain the Windows Server 2019 installation and be bootable. The network boot requires setting up a WDS server so that Windows Server 2019 is installed over the network.
10. The clean installation overwrites the existing operating system on a hard disk. Then, the WDS server enables installation over the network. An unattended installation has little or no interactivity with the operating system installation. Tools such as the Windows ADK and MDT provide a unique platform to automate desktop and server deployments. An upgrade replaces your existing OS with a new one. Migration occurs when you bring in a new machine (physical or virtual) and want to move the roles, features, apps, and settings into it.

Chapter 4 – Post-Installation Tasks in Windows Server 2022

1. True
2. Plug and play
3. Interrupt Request (IRQ) and Direct Memory Access (DMA)
4. True
5. Windows registry
6. Devices and Device Manager
7. Services Control Manager and Registry Editor
8. Service account
9. Any changes made to your server are stored in the registry. The Windows Registry is a hierarchical database that stores the hardware/software configuration and system security information. After you access the registry, you will notice that its console tree (on the left-hand side) consists of five registry keys known as hives (that is, HKEYs): HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (HKCR), HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU), HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM), HKEY_USERS (HKU), and HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG (HKCC).
10. Services are background services that keep the OS alive. When accessing services through the Services Control Manager, you will notice that each service has a description that helps us understand its purpose. Each service has the following start-up types: Automatic, Automatic (Delayed Start), Manual, and Disable.

Chapter 5 – Directory Services in Windows Server 2022

1. True
2. Group nesting
3. Roaming Profile and Mandatory Profile.
4. False
5. Replication topology
6. Global group and Universal group.
7. True
8. Domain Controller
9. Active Directory Administrative Center and Active Directory Users and Computers
10. True
11. Primary Zone
12. Master schema and domain naming master
13. Active Directory (AD), a Microsoft technology, is a distributed database that stores objects in a hierarchical, structured, and secure format. AD objects represent users, computers, peripheral devices, and network services. Each object is uniquely identified by its name and attributes. DNS has a tree structure (hierarchical) where each branch represents the root zone, and each leaf has zero or more resource records. Each zone represents a root domain or multiple domains and subdomains. A domain name consists of one or more parts, called labels, and these are separated by points (for example, packtpub.com). DNS is maintained by a database that uses distributed clients/server architecture where network nodes represent the servers’ names.
14. Microsoft’s recommendations for effectively using group nesting when assigning permissions are both Accounts, Global, Domain Local, Permissions (AGDLP) and Accounts, Global, Universal, Domain Local, Permissions (AGUDLP).

Chapter 6 – Adding Roles to Windows Server 2022

1. True
2. File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
3. Modify, Write, and Read.
4. False
5. Software port
6. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Post Office Protocol (POP).
7. True
8. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
9. 3389
10. False
11. Share permissions
12. Change and Read
13. The remote Access role in Windows Server 2019 enables remote access to resources inside an organization’s network. Remote Desktop Services (RDS) allows GUI remote access to computers within an organization’s network and over the internet.
14. Users can be allowed or denied access to the objects, which can be said to be related to user rights. Each allowance or denial has specific permissions that determine the type of access to the objects. For example, share permissions have to do with user access to the shared folders and drives on the network.

Chapter 7 – Group Policy in Windows Server 2022

1. True
2. Group Policy Objects (GPOs)
3. Enabled and Disabled
4. True
5. Forest pane and GPOs pane

Chapter 8 – Virtualization with Windows Server 2022

1. True
2. Hyper-V architecture
3. Fully Virtualized mode and Paravirtualized mode
4. True
5. Virtualization Service Providers (VSP) and Virtualization Service Consumers (VSC)
6. Production Checkpoints and Standard Checkpoints.
7. True
8. Hyper-V Manager
9. Hypervisor and Root
10. Nested virtualization refers to a VM that runs inside another VM. In other words, the server’s hardware can run the Hyper-V inside a VM, which also runs on a Hyper-V.
11. When virtualization becomes the primary network service driver, organizations are migrating their Active Directory Users and Computers (P2V) for cost, ease of management, and future expansion. Hence, knowing that VMs are using VHDs, Microsoft engineers have developed the Disk2vhd app to convert the Physical Disk Drive (PHD) to the Virtual Hard Disk (VHD).
12. Despite the reasons that may stand behind the decision to do Virtual to Physical (V2P) conversion, it is good to remind ourselves in the technological era that we live in, that the trend is for Physical to Virtual (P2V) conversion. Other than that, it can be said that hypervisor manufacturers, including Microsoft, will not encourage you to conduct V2P conversions.

Chapter 9 – Storing Data in Windows Server 2022

1. True
2. Storage area network (SAN)
3. Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) and network-attached storage (NAS).
4. False
5. Disk controller
6. Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) and Fiber Channel (FC)
7. True
8. High Availability (HA)
9. RAID 1 and RAID 5. True.
10. Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA), also known as Integrated
11. Drive Electronics (IDE)
12. CD-ROM and DVD-RAM
13. The idea behind data deduplication (dedup) is to provide disk space savings
14. Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) is an enhanced feature in Windows Server 2019 that enables you to group disks into storage pools, creating software-defined storage spaces
15. Distributed File Systems (DFS) enable the sharing of data from the server in an authorized and controlled way

10. True
11. Performance monitoring
12. Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read-Only Memory (ROM)
13. Performance Monitor is a Windows MMC that monitors server performance. Resource Monitor is at your disposal to view the real-time usage of both hardware and software resources.
14. Logs are useful for detailed analysis and archiving records. Alerts enable you to be vigilant about the performance and configuration of servers.

Chapter 11 – Updating and Troubleshooting Windows Server 2022

1. False
2. Event Viewer
3. Systematic approach and specific approach
4. False
5. UPS
6. Application and Security
7. True
8. POST
9. NTLDR and BOOTMGR
10. True
11. Clustering
12. Incremental and Differential
13. The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is a program that controls the functionality of the server hardware components. The boot sector is the sector on the server’s disk containing the information to boot your server. The bootloader is a program that loads the OS kernel into RAM. The bootloader is located in MBR. There are two types of bootloaders in Windows OSes: NTLDR and BOOTMGR. MBR is also created when disk partitions are made; however, MBR resides outside disk partitions. Multiboot: every time you turn on your computer, you notice a boot menu that lists multiple OSes. Boot Configuration Data (BCD) represents a store consisting of a specific file that enables control of what should happen when an OS boots. POST is a diagnostic test that verifies that the server hardware is working correctly. Finally, safe mode is a Windows diagnostic mode that uses a minimal set of drivers and services.
14. Among the dozens of available methodologies, a six-step troubleshooting model known as the detection method is used by Microsoft Product Support Services engineers. The steps are: discover the problem, evaluate system configuration, list or track possible solutions, execute a plan, check results, and take a proactive approach.
15. The Event Viewer generates an enormous number of logs; hence, event filtering is used to find the correct information to help overcome the issues. Setting the wrong criteria will result in filtered results that will not help find the accurate information to overcome the issues. The problem with event logs is that they consume storage space. Hence, changing the default logs’ locations helps to overcome the lack of storage space for storing logs. That enables writing event messages to any log files due to a lack of storage space.
