Question 1

Directory servers organize information in a ________.
A)mesh
B)hierarchy
C)relational database
D)Any of the above can be used.

Accepted Answer

Directory servers typically organize information in a hierarchical manner, with parent and child objects that can be easily navigated and searched. While mesh or relational database structures could potentially be used, they are less common and less suitable for the specific needs of directory services.

Question 2

A group of Active Directory domains organized in a hierarchy is a ________.
A)network
B)tree
C)forest
D)none of the above

Accepted Answer

B

Question 3

In AD,there is partial replication between domain controllers ________.
A)in the same domain
B)in different domains at adjacent levels in the domain hierarchy
C)both A and B
D)neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

Partial replication occurs between domain controllers in different domains at adjacent levels in the domain hierarchy, as they replicate only the necessary information needed for the global catalog.

Question 4

Which of the following is used to query a directory server to get someone's e-mail address?
A)LDAP
B)IMAP
C)SNMP
D)HTTP

Accepted Answer

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is commonly used to query directory servers, such as Active Directory, to retrieve information about users and resources, including e-mail addresses. IMAP, SNMP, and HTTP are not typically used for querying directory servers for this purpose.

Question 5

Which device holds authentication data?
A)authenticator
B)authentication server
C)both A and B
D)neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

Authentication data is typically held by the authentication server. The authenticator is the device that prompts the user to enter their credentials and sends that information to the authentication server for verification.

Question 6

A company may have many AD domains.

Accepted Answer

It is possible for a company to have multiple Active Directory (AD) domains. This is often the case for larger organizations with complex IT infrastructures. Each AD domain can have its own users, groups, and resources, which can be managed independently. However, it is also possible to have a single AD domain that encompasses all users and resources for the entire organization.

Question 7

In AD,there is complete replication between domain controllers ________.
A)in the same domain
B)in adjacent levels in the domain hierarchy
C)throughout a tree
D)throughout a forest

Accepted Answer

In Active Directory, complete replication occurs between domain controllers within the same domain to ensure consistency and availability of directory information.

Question 8

A group of Active Directory trees organized in a hierarchy is a forest.

Accepted Answer

In Active Directory, a collection of one or more trees is called a forest, where each tree represents an individual domain. The trees in a forest are organized in a hierarchy, and all of them share a common schema and global catalog.

Question 9

If a company has multiple authentication servers,which devices are likely to hold the authentication data?
A)authenticators
B)authentication servers individually
C)authentication servers doing replication
D)directory servers

Accepted Answer

Directory servers are designed to store and manage user authentication data. They serve as a central repository for user information, including login credentials, and can be used to authenticate users across multiple systems and applications. When a company has multiple authentication servers, it is common for the authentication servers to replicate data from the directory server(s) to ensure consistency and availability.

Question 10

An AD domain ________.
A)has only a single domain controller
B)makes all servers domain controllers
C)must have its servers organized as a tree
D)none of the above

Accepted Answer

None of the given options accurately describe an AD domain. 
A domain can have multiple domain controllers for redundancy and fault tolerance, but it is not limited to having only one. 
Not all servers in a domain need to be domain controllers; only the ones that perform directory-related functions. 
While a domain can be organized as a tree, it is not a requirement or a standard practice.

Question 11

Active Directory is Microsoft's directory server product.

Accepted Answer

Active Directory is indeed Microsoft's directory server product, used primarily for managing users, computers, and other resources across a network.
