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 manage a network with a single Active Directory domain called westsim.com. Organizational units have been created for the Accounting, Sales, and Support departments. User and computer accounts for each department are in their respective OUs. The Support department has very high turnover. Nearly every week, you need to add new user accounts. All user accounts have the same department and fax number settings. Each user account must also have permission to the Orders shared folder. You want to create a template account to use when creating new accounts in the future. What should you do? (Select three. Each is a required part of the solution.)

Create a user account with the department and fax Number settings. Create a group called Support. Make the template account a member of the Support group. Assign permissions for the group to the Orders shared folder. Disable the user account.

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 Builtin 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.)

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

You are the network administrator of a network that spans three locations, Atlanta, Chicago, and Denver. Your organization started in Atlanta, and that's where you installed your first Active Directory domain controller. The Chicago and Denver locations were later added to the domain with their own domain controllers. These three locations each have their own subnet and are connected using dedicated WAN links. You have used Active Directory Sites and Services to change to the name of the Default-First-Site-Name to Atlanta, but that's all you've done so far. The IT manager wants you to continue configuring Active Directory Sites and Services to direct clients to local network resources for authentication. He does not want you to manage replication traffic at this time. Which of the following steps must you perform to complete this configuration? (Select three.)

Create site objects for Chicago and Denver. Move the Chicago and Denver server objects into their respective site objects. Create subnet objects for Chicago, Denver, and Atlanta, and then link them to their respective sites.

You are the network administrator for a company with a single Active Directory domain. The corporate office is located in Miami, and there are satellite offices in Boston and Chicago. There are Active Directory sites configured for all three geographic locations. The Default-First-Site-Name was renamed Miami. Each location has a single IP subnet configured and associated with the appropriate site. Each office has several domain controllers. The Boston office has recently expanded to three additional floors in the office building that they are in. The additional floors each have their own IP subnet and are connected by a router. The domain controllers for the Boston office are all located on one floor and are in the same subnet. You notice that the users working on the new floors in the Boston office are sometimes authenticating to domain controllers from other locations. You need to make sure that all authentication traffic over the WAN links is kept to a minimum. What should you do to the Active Directory Sites and Services configuration?

Create subnet objects for the new floors in the Boston office and link them to the Boston site.

You have configured Active Directory Sites and Services to represent the physical layout of your network. As shown in the table below, each site has its own domain controller and subnet:

DC-CHI

You are the network administrator for an Active Directory forest with a single domain. The network has three sites with one domain controller at each site. You have created and configured sites in Active Directory Sites and Services, and replication is operating normally between sites. You configure two universal groups for use in securing the network. All users are members of one universal group or the other. After configuring the universal groups, users at sites 2 and 3 report slow login and slow access to the corporate database. Users at site 1 can log in and access the corporate database with acceptable performance. You want to improve login and resource access performance for users in sites 2 and 3. What should you do?

Designate the domain controllers at sites 2 and 3 as global catalog servers.

You are the manager of the eastsim.com domain. Your Active Directory structure has organizational units (OUs) for each company department. Assistant administrators help you 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 make sure that your assistants can't delete the OUs they are in charge of. What should you do? (Select two. Each choice is a possible solution.)

Edit the properties for each OU to prevent accidental deletion. Remove full control permissions from each OU. Run the Delegation of Control wizard for each OU, granting permissions to perform the necessary management tasks.

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?

Plan 4 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 manage a network with a single Active Directory domain called westsim.com. Most of your users work from the office and access your on-premise domain controllers when they authenticate and use network resources. But you also have a few users who work remotely. Your company has just moved to Office365 and is using the cloud-hosted versions of Exchange and SharePoint for employees who work from home. You are considering using Azure AD to allow these employees to authenticate to the domain. Which of the following are advantages of deploying Azure AD? (Select two.)

You manage user accounts in the southsim.com domain. Each department is represented by an organizational unit (OU). 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.
