Windows Server: Physical Components - Quiz

When you are promoting a server to a domain controller which three options are available?

• Add the domain controller to an existing domain
• Add a new domain to an existing forest
• Add a new forest
• Promote the server and convert to the Server Core installation
• Promote the server as the PDC Emulator

You have several domains in your forest. You need to speed up Exchange Server email recipient searches across the domain. Which capability should you consider implementing or expanding?

• Active Directory Domain Services
• Domain Naming Service
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
• Global Catalog
• SQL Server database

The most common use for a Read-Only Domain Controller is providing authentication for a branch office. What are some reasons why it might be better to install an RODC, rather than a regular domain controller, in a branch office?

Show Answer

• Security. A site where there is not a physically secure facility to install the server, and there is few, if any, local IT staff to support and monitor the server.
• Users and Services. You would like users to be provided services and authentication locally, rather than have to contact a domain controller in the data center over the WAN.
• Network Latency. Users typically connect to multiple services during a workday. So, service ticket activity happens regularly. Authentication and service ticket activity over a WAN link between a branch office and a hub site can result in slow or unreliable performance.
