QUESTION 2
You work as a database administrator at CertKingdom.com. The CertKingdom.com network consists of a
single Active Directory domain named CertKingdom.com. All servers on the CertKingdom.com network
run Windows Server 2003 with the latest Service Packs and Hotfixes, while the client computers
run Windows XP Professional, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Novell NetWare 6.5.
You install SQL Server 2005 on a member server named CERTKINGDOM-SR21. CERTKINGDOMSR21
will host a database named CKD_Sales. All CertKingdom.com users must be able to connect to
CERTKINGDOM-SR21 by computer name. A CertKingdom.com network administrator named Rory Allen
must ensure that the client computers will be able to connect to CERTKINGDOM-SR21.
Which protocols can CertKingdom.com users use to CERTKINGDOM-SR21?

A. TCP/IP and Named Pipes
B. TCP/IP and IPX/SPX
C. Virtual Interface Adapter (VIA)
D. Shared Memory

Answer: A

Explanation:
By default, clients have TCP and Named Pipes as available protocols. You can manipulate the
protocol ordering by using the SQL Server Client utility. The client application uses the protocols
in the order specified on the client computer. If you are using SQL Server 2005, the protocol order
is stored in the ProtocolOrder registry entry under the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Client\SNI9.0
Incorrect Answers:
B: SQL Server 2005 does not support IPX/SPX. The newer versions of NetWare, such as
NetWare 6.5, support TCP/IP which makes it the common protocol for all clients.
C: The Virtual Interface Adapter (VIA) can be used only by VIA hardware.
D: Shared Memory can only be used on the local computer and cannot be used as a network protocol.

QUESTION 7
You work as the database administrator at CertKingdom.com. The CertKingdom.com network consists of
a single Active Directory domain named CertKingdom.com. All servers on the CertKingdom.com network
run Windows Server 2003 and all client computers run Windows XP Professional. The
CertKingdom.com network contains two SQL Server 2000 database servers named CERTKINGDOMDB01
and CERTKINGDOM-DB02 that are configured for log shipping. CERTKINGDOM-DB01 is the
primary server and hosts a database named CKD_Trading. Both CERTKINGDOM-DB01 and
CERTKINGDOM-DB02 have Service Pack 3 for SQL Server 2000 installed.
CertKingdom.com wants to upgrade CERTKINGDOM-DB01 and CERTKINGDOM-DB02 to SQL Server
2005 Enterprise Edition but the CKD_Trading database must remain available during the upgrade
process. You verify that both CERTKINGDOM-DB01 and CERTKINGDOM-DB02 exceed the
recommended hardware requirements for SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. You then install
Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2003 on CERTKINGDOM-DB01 and CERTKINGDOM-DB02.
What should you do next?

A. Install Service Pack 4 for SQL Server 2000 on both database servers.
B. Enable failover in the SQL Server 2000 log shipping configuration and upgrade CERTKINGDOMDB02
to SQL Server 2005.
C. Run the Database Maintenance Plan Wizard on CERTKINGDOM-DB01 to upgrade it to SQL
Server 2005.
D. Upgrade CERTKINGDOM-DB02 to SQL Server 2005 and then upgrade CERTKINGDOM-DB01 to
SQL Server 2005.

Answer: B

Explanation:
SQL Server 2005 does not support the Database Maintenance Plan Wizard which was integral to
log shipping in SQL Server 2000. Hence, log shipping stops functioning when you upgrade a SQL
Server 2000 log shipping configuration directly to SQL Server 2005. To upgrade log shipping to
SQL Server 2005, you must migrate the database servers to SQL Server 2005. If you want the
database to remain available during the migration process, you must migrate with failover. To
migrate with failover you must enable failover and upgrade CERTKINGDOM-DB02. Then you need
to failover to CERTKINGDOM-DB02 and upgrade CERTKINGDOM-DB01. Then configure log shipping
with the CERTKINGDOM-DB02 becoming the primary server and CERTKINGDOM-DB01 becoming the
secondary server.
Incorrect Answers:
A: You do not need to install Service Pack 4 for SQL Server 2000 on the database servers as SQL
Server 2000 with Service Pack 3 can be upgraded to SQL Server 2005. However, SQL Server
2005 does not support the Database Maintenance Plan Wizard which was integral to log shipping
in SQL Server 2000. Hence, log shipping stops functioning when you upgrade a SQL Server 2000
log shipping configuration directly to SQL Server 2005.
C: SQL Server 2005 does not support the Database Maintenance Plan Wizard which was integral
to log shipping in SQL Server 2000. Hence, log shipping stops functioning when you upgrade a
SQL Server 2000 log shipping configuration directly to SQL Server 2005.
D: Removing log shipping from CERTKINGDOM-DB02 and upgrading CERTKINGDOM-DB01 to SQL
Server 2005 will not ensure that the CKD_Trading database remains available. Reference:Microsoft
SQL Server 2005 Books Online (2006), Index: log shipping [SQL Server], upgrading


QUESTION 8
You work as the database administrator at CertKingdom.com. The CertKingdom.com network consists of

need to ensure that CertKingdom.com users and applications can connect to the database instance by
using only the computer name.
What should you do during the installation of SQL Server 2005 on CERTKINGDOM-SR21?

A. Select the Named Instance and use MSSQLSERVER as the instance name.
B. Select the Named Instance and use CERTKINGDOM-DC01 as the instance name.
C. Select the Default Instance and accept the default instance name.
D. Select the Named Instance and use CERTKINGDOM-SR21 as the instance name.

Answer: C

Explanation:
To ensure that users and applications can connect to the instance using the computer name, you
should select the Default Instance and accept the default instance name, MSSQLSERVER.
Incorrect Answers:
A: You cannot use a Named Instance as users and applications will need to specify the server
name and the instance name when connection to the database.
B: You cannot use a Named Instance as users and applications will need to specify the server
name and the instance name when connection to the database.
D: You cannot use a Named Instance as users and applications will need to specify the server

D. Install the instance as a Default Instance and configure it to support Windows Authentication.
The enable IPX/SPX for the instance.

Answer: A

Explanation:
The default instance is named MSSQLSERVER. This instance name is already in use; therefore
you should use a Named Instance. You should use Mixed Mode Authentication to support
NetWare users.
Incorrect Answers:
B: You cannot use the Default Instance as the default instance is named MSSQLSERVER and is
already in use. Furthermore, you need to use Mixed Mode Authentication as Windows
Authentication does not support NetWare users.
C: You can use SQL Authentication, but this will require that you create SQL Logins for all users
and groups. It would be easier to use Windows Authentication for clients that user Windows XP
Professional and Windows 98 SE, and create SQL Logins for the NetWare 6.5 users. Also, SQL
Server 2005 does not support IPX/SPX. The newer versions of NetWare, such as NetWare 6.5,
support TCP/IP which makes it the common protocol for all clients.
D: You cannot use the Default Instance as the default instance is named MSSQLSERVER and is
already in use. Furthermore, you need to use Mixed Mode Authentication as Windows
Authentication does not support NetWare users. Also, SQL Server 2005 does not support
IPX/SPX. The newer versions of NetWare, such as NetWare 6.5, support TCP/IP which makes it
the common protocol for all clients.

QUESTION 1
You work as the IT Admin at Certkingdom.com. The Certkingdom.com network has a forest that operates at the
forest functional level of Windows Server 2003. The forest has a root domain named Certkingdom.com,
and two child domains named north.Certkingdom.com and south.Certkingdom.com. Each domain has a security
group named Research which holds the user accounts for that domain.
Two domain controllers are situated in each of these domains. One domain controller in each
domain hosts a copy of the global catalog.
The global catalog server in the Certkingdom.com domain holds the domain naming and the schema
master roles. The global catalog server in north.Certkingdom.com and south.Certkingdom.com holds the relative
ID (RID), infrastructure, and PDC emulator master roles.
A Certkingdom.com user named Ally Wagner, in the south.Certkingdom.com domain, was recently married. When
Ally Wagner got back, she asked you to change her surname in her user account. After changing
Ally Wagner’s user account to Ally Hamm, you notice that her user account is still incorrectly
specified as Ally Wagner in the Research group.
Which of the following master roles should you move to the domain controller that does not have
the Global Catalog in each domain?

A. The domain naming master role.
B. The infrastructure master role.
C. The RID master role.
D. The schema master role.
E. The PDC emulator master role.

Answer: B

Explanation: Problems like this can occur when the Infrastructure master role is on the same
domain controller as the Global Catalog. The infrastructure master updates the group-to-user
reference whenever group memberships change and replicates these changes across the domain.
The infrastructure master compares its data with that of a global catalog. Global catalogs receive
regular updates for objects in all domains through replication, so the global catalog data will
always be up to date. If the infrastructure master finds that its data is out of date, it requests the
updated data from a global catalog. The infrastructure master then replicates that updated data to
the other domain controllers in the domain.
Unless there is only one domain controller in the domain, the infrastructure master role should not
be assigned to the domain controller that is hosting the global catalog. If the infrastructure master
and global catalog are on the same domain controller, the infrastructure master will not function.
The infrastructure master will never find data that is out of date, so it will never replicate any
changes to the other domain controllers in the domain. Transferring the Infrastructure master role
to a different computer would resolve this problem. There is no reason to transfer any other master
roles.

QUESTION 2
You work as the IT Network Admin at Certkingdom.com. The Certkingdom.com network has a forest with two child
domains named us.Certkingdom.com and uk.Certkingdom.com. All servers and domain controllers on the
Certkingdom.com network have Windows 2000 Server installed.
You have been given the task to uABCrade the domain controllers in uk.Certkingdom.com to Windows
Server 2003. You therefore need to take the appropriate steps that are required to prepare the
forest for the impending deployment.
Which of the following actions should you take?
Answer by selecting the appropriate steps from the column on the left and place it in the correct
order in the column on the left.

Answer:


QUESTION 3
You work as the IT Admin at Certkingdom.com. The Certkingdom.com network has a domain named Certkingdom.com.
Certkingdom.com has offices in London and Berlin, which are configured as separate sites.
A Backup of Certkingdom.com’s Ntds.dit file is performed outside of business hours, seven days a week.
The domain has an OU named Research that currently holds no Active Directory objects. During
the course of the business day an administrator in Berlin removes the Research OU, while an
administrator in London simultaneously places existing Active Directory objects in it. The London
administrator is later informed of the removal, and now realizes that the objects that were placed
into the Research OU are missing.
The CIO has subsequently instructed you to make sure that a Research OU and the missing
Active Directory objects are available to the London administrator. The CIO also informs you that
your solution should have no impact on network connectivity and resources. You have already
created a new OU, and named it Research.
Which of the following actions should you take NEXT?

A. You should transfer the objects from the LostAndFound container to the new Research OU
B. You should recreate the objects and then place the replicas in a Domain Group Policy that
should be linked to all OUs.
C. You should restore the objects to the new Research OU nonauthoritatively.
D. You should restore the objects to the new Research OU authoritatively.

Answer: A

Explanation: You moved the objects to an OU that had just been deleted. When you move
objects to an object that is no longer there, the objects get moved to the LostAndFound container.
This means that we haven’t lost the objects, so we can just re-create the Research OU and move
the users from the LostAndFound container to the new OU.
