Computer and user accounts for each department have been moved to their respective OUs. When a new employee is hired in the sales department, you create the user account, add the user account to multiple groups, assign the user permissions to the sales contact database, and configure permissions to home and shared folders. Because of high turnover, you find that as users leave the organization, you spend several hours tracking down file ownership and reassigning permissions to other users. How can you simplify this process?

Use a programming language to create a deprovisioning solution. Write scripts or routines that run automatically and reassign ownership and permissions when the user account is deleted.

You are the administrator for the westsim.com domain, which has five domain controllers running Windows Server. The Active Directory structure is shown in the image. All user and computer accounts have been placed in the department OUs. Main offices are located in Orlando, with additional offices in Boston, New York, and Chicago. There are three departments within the company, sales, marketing, and accounting. Employees from each department are at each location. You want to appoint an employee in each department to help with changing passwords for users within their department. They should not be able to perform any other tasks. What should you do?

Use the Delegation of Control wizard. Grant each user administrator permissions to modify passwords for their department OU.

You are the administrator of a network with a single Active Directory domain. Your domain contains three domain controllers and five member servers. Your security policy states that all accounts should be locked out after three unsuccessful logon attempts and that accounts must be reset only by an administrator. A GPO enforces these settings. You receive a call Monday morning from the help desk. There are seven users who are unable to log in to the domain. Upon further investigation, you notice all seven accounts have been locked out. You need to unlock the user accounts with the least amount of administrative effort while complying with your security policy. What should you do next?

Using Active Directory Users and Computers, select Unlock Account for each account.

You are the administrator of the westsim.com domain. Within the domain, you have OUs for the accounting, manufacturing, sales and administration departments. You also have smaller OUs within each department OU, such as the ITAdmins OU in the Administration OU. You need to follow the principle of least privilege as you use the Delegation of Control wizard to complete the following: * Give one user in each OU the rights necessary to manage user accounts in their OU. * Give your assistants in the ITAdmins group rights to manage passwords for all users in the domain. Which of the following approaches can you use as you delegate control? (Select two. Each correct answer is part of the complete solution.)

* Create a PasswordAdmin group in the ITAdmins OU * Make your assistants members of the PasswordAdmin group. * In the westsim.com domain, delegate control to the PasswordAdmin group to perform password tasks. * Create a UserAdmin group in each department OU. * Make the user in each OU a member of the UserAdmin group * In each department OU, delegate control to the UserAdmin group to perform user account tasks in that OU.

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.

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 its 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 network administrator of a network that spans two locations, Atlanta and Dallas. Your organization started in Atlanta, and that's where you installed your first Active Directory domain controller. The Dallas location was later added to the domain with its own domain controller. Atlanta and Dallas are connected using a dedicated WAN link. You have not used Active Directory Sites and Services to make any changes to the default sites configuration. Users in Dallas complain that logging on to the network often takes a long time. After monitoring the network traffic across the WAN link, you discover that users in Dallas are often authenticating to the domain controller in Atlanta. What is the first step in solving this problem?

Create a new site object and move the server object for the Dallas domain controller into the new site.

You are the administrator of a network with a single Active Directory domain. You need to create 75 user accounts in the domain Users container.

You want to create the new accounts as quickly and easily as possible. What should you do?

Use Csvde to import user accounts using the .csv file.
