Which of the following BEST describes a service account?

A special user account that an application or service uses to interact with the OS.

You are the administrator of a network with two Active Directory domains. Each domain currently includes 35 global groups and 75 domain local groups. You have been reading the Windows Server help files and have come to the conclusion that universal groups may be the answer to ease administrative management of these groups. You decide to incorporate universal groups. How can you make sure to not include changes to any group that will affect group member's assigned permissions?

Add global groups to universal groups and then add those to domain local groups.

To join a computer to a domain, you must be a member of which of the following groups?

Administrators group on the local computer

You have installed the Microsoft FTP Server service on a Windows Server 2016 host that is a member of the WestSim.com domain. The properties of this service are shown in the exhibit. You want the FTP Server service to log on and run on the system as a virtual service account named FTPSVC. Which should you do? (Select two.)

Click the Log On tab in the properties of the Microsoft FTP Service. Specify a logon account of NT SERVICE\FTPSVC.

You have just started a new job as the administrator of the eastsim.com domain. The manager of the accounting department has overheard his employees joke about how many employees are using "password" as their password. He wants you to configure a more restrictive password policy for employees in the accounting department. Before creating the password policy, you open the Active Directory Users and Computers structure and see the following containers and OU: eastsim.com Built-in Users Computers Domain Controllers Which steps must you perform to implement the desired password policy? (Select three. Each correct answer is part of the complete solution.)

Configure the password policy and link it to the OU created for the accounting employees. Create an OU in eastsim.com for the accounting employees. Put the accounting employees user objects into the OU created for the accounting employees.

You are the administrator of a multi-domain Active Directory forest. You have a universal group called SalesExecs. This group has successfully been used as an email distribution group. Later, you try to assign the group permissions to a shared folder, but SalesExecs does not appear as a choice. What should you do?

Convert the SalesExecs group from a distribution group to a security group.

You are the administrator for ABC corporation. Your network has a single Active Directory domain called xyz.com. The Sales team has a shared folder on Srv1 that is used to hold sales contact information. You need to control access to this folder so that only members of the sales team can access the folder. You create a group called Sales and add all members of the Sales team as members of the group. However, when you try to assign permissions to the shared folder, the Sales group you created does not show in the list of available objects. You check the properties of the group and find the details shown in the image. What do you need to do to assign permissions to the sales team?

Convert the group to a security group.

You manage a network with a single Active Directory domain called westsim.com. Organizational units have been created for the accounting, sales, and shipping departments. User and computer accounts for each department are in their respective OUs. Mary Hurd is a manager in the sales department. Mary is a member of the Managers global group. This group also has members from other organizational units. The Managers group has been given the read share permission to the Reports shared folder. Mary's user account (mhurd) has also been given the change share permission to the Reports shared folder. You need to create several new user accounts that have the same group membership and permission settings as the mhurd user account. How can you complete this configuration with the least amount of effort?

Copy the mhurd user account. Assign the new account the change share permission to the Reports shared folder.

You manage a single domain named widgets.com. Organizational units (OUs) have been created for all company departments. Computer and user accounts have been moved into their corresponding department OUs. The CEO has requested the ability to send emails to managers and team leaders. He'd like to send a single email and have it automatically forwarded to all users in the list. Because the email list might change frequently, you do not want the email list to be used for assigning permissions. What should you do?

Create a distribution global group. For each user on the email list, make their user account a member of the group.

You are the domain administrator for a single domain forest. You have 10 file servers that are member servers running Windows Server. Your company has designed a top-level OU structure based on the 15 divisions for your company. Each division has a global security group containing the user accounts for division managers. You have folders on your file servers that all division managers should have permission to access. For some resources, all division managers will need full control. For others, they will only need read or change permissions. You need a group strategy that will facilitate the assignment of permissions but minimize administrative effort. What should you do?

Create a global group called AllMgrs. Make each of the existing division managers groups a member.

You are the administrator for a network with two domains, westsim.com and branch.westsim.com. User accounts for the Sales team are in both domains. You have a shared folder called Reports on the Sales1 server in the westsim.com domain. You also have a shared folder called Contacts on the Sales6 server in the branch.westsim.com domain. All Sales users need access to both shared folders. What do you need to do to implement a group strategy to provide access to the necessary resources?

Create a global group in each domain. Add users within each domain to the group. Create a universal group in westsim.com. Add the global groups from each domain to the universal group. Add the universal group to domain local groups in each domain. Assign permissions to the domain local groups.

You have received a call from a user telling you that his password no longer works. As you inquire about the reasons why the password doesn't work, he tells you that yesterday, he received a call from an administrator asking for his user account password, which he promptly supplied. You know that a legitimate administrator would have never made this request. You are concerned that the impersonator might have contacted other users with the same request. To protect your network, you would like to reset all user account passwords and force users to change their passwords at the next login. You want to accomplish this as quickly as possible. What should you do? (Select two. Each choice is a possible complete solution.)

Create a script that runs Dsmod. Specify the new password and account properties in the script. Run the script. Run Ldifde to export user account information. Edit the .ldif file to modify the user account properties and passwords. Run Ldifde to modify the existing user accounts.

You are the network administrator for your company. Your company has three standalone servers that run Windows Server. All servers are located in a single location. You have decided to create a single Active Directory domain for your network. Currently, each department has one employee designated as the department's computer support person. Employees in this role create user accounts and reset passwords for the department. As you design Active Directory, your goal is to allow these users to maintain their responsibilities while not giving them more permissions than they need. Which of the following design plans will best meet your goals?

Create an organizational unit (OU) structure where each department has its own OU. Use the Delegation of Control wizard to grant each computer support user appropriate permissions to their department OUs.

You are in charge of designing the Active Directory tree. You have a small company that has only one location. You have determined that you will have approximately 500 objects in your completed tree. Your company is organized with four primary departments, accounting, manufacturing, sales, and administration. Each area is autonomous and reports directly to the CEO. The managers in each department want to make sure that some management control of their users and resources remains in the department. Which of the following design plans will best meet these requirements?

Create an organizational unit object for each department. Train a member of each department to perform limited administrative duties. Use the Delegation of Control wizard to give a member of each OU enough rights to perform the necessary administrative tasks only in the appropriate OU.

You are the administrator of the eastsim.com domain. Your Active Directory structure has organizational units (OUs) for each company department. You have assistants who help with resetting passwords and managing group membership. You want your assistants to also help create and delete user accounts. Which of the following tools can you use to allow your assistants to perform these additional tasks?

Delegation of Control wizard

You are the administrator for a network with two domains, westsim.com and sales.westsim.com. You have a shared folder called Reports on the Sales1 server in the sales.westsim.com domain. The following two users need access to this shared folder: Mark in the westsim.com domain Mary in the sales.westsim.com domain You create a global group called Sales in westsim.com. You grant this group the necessary permissions to the Reports shared folder. You add Mark as a member of the group, but you are unable to add Mary as a group member. What should you do? (Select two. Each choice is a possible answer.)

Delete the existing group. Create a domain local group in sales.westsim.com. Add Mark and Mary as members and assign permissions to the share. Convert the group to a universal group.

You manage a network with a single Active Directory domain called westsim.com. Organizational units have been created for the accounting, sales, and shipping departments. User and computer accounts for each department are in their respective OUs. At 5:30 p.m., you get a call from Mary Hurd, a user in the sales department, stating that she can't log in. You use Active Directory Users and Computers and see the information shown in the image. How can you make sure Mary can log in?

Enable Mary's account.

You are the administrator for a small company that uses a Windows server to host a single domain. Mary Hurd, a user in the sales department, calls and reports that she is unable to log in using her computer (Sales1). You use Active Directory Users and Computers and see the screen shown in the image. What can you do to allow Mary to log in?

Enable the computer account.

The first step when delegating the right to create and link Group Policy Objects is to run the Delegation of Control Wizard at the domain or OU where the group should be able to link GPOs and then select Manage Group Policy links in the tasks to delegate. Which of the following is the second step?

Grant the user or group the rights to access the GPO container.

Which of the following is true about organizational units (OUs)?

Group Policy can be applied to organizational units.

Holds the default service administrator accounts - Built-in container The default location for new user accounts and groups - Users container The default location for domain controller computer accounts - Domain Controller OU The root container to the hierarchy - Domain container The default location for workstations when they join the domain - Computers container

When following best practices for delegating administrative authority, which of the following is the first step in the process?

Identifying administrative rolls based on specific administrative function or job

You are the administrator of the eastsim.com domain, which has two domain controllers. Your Active Directory structure has organizational units (OUs) for each company department. You have assistant administrators who help manage Active Directory objects. For each OU, you grant one of your assistants Full Control over the OU. You come to work one morning to find that while managing some user accounts, the administrator in charge of the Sales OU has deleted the entire OU. You restore the OU and all of its objects from a recent backup. You want to configure the OU to prevent accidental deletion. You edit the OU properties, but can't find the Protect object from accidental deletion setting. What should you do so you can configure this setting?

In Active Directory Users and Computers, select View > Advanced Features.

You manage a network with a single Active Directory domain. Organizational Units have been created for the accounting, sales, and shipping departments. User and computer accounts for each department are in their respective OUs. You have hired a temporary worker named John Miller to work in the shipping department during the holidays. John should only be allowed to log on to the Ship01 workstation and no others. What should you do?

In John's user account, add Ship01 to the Log On To list.

You are the domain administrator for north.westsim.com, which is a child domain in westsim.com. You have a high-end color laser printer that is shared on a server in north.westsim.com. Because of the high price per page, you have removed the print permission from the Everyone group. You need to grant the print permissions to marketing users in the north.westsim.com, east.westsim.com, and west.westsim.com domains. What should you do?

In the North domain, create a Domain Local group called CLR-PRT. In all three domains, create a global group named Marketing. Add all three global groups to the North CLR-PRT group and assign the print permission to the group.

Which built-in local user account is a member of the local Administrators group?

Local System

Select the container in Active Directory where group-managed service accounts are created by default.

Managed Service Account

You are a domain administrator for a large multi-domain network. There are approximately 2,500 computers in your domain. Organizational Units (OUs) have been created for each department. Group Policy objects (GPOs) are linked to each OU to configure department-wide user and computer settings. While you were on vacation, another 20 computers were added to the network. The computers appear to be functioning correctly with one exception: the computers do not seem to have the necessary GPO settings applied. What should you do?

Move the computer accounts from their current location to the correct OUs.

You are the network administrator for your company. There is one main office and seven branch offices.
