Active Directory __________ provide the means by which administrators can control replication traffic.

sites

Active Directory creates a __________ with the idea that all writeable domain controllers in a domain should communicate Active Directory information to each other, in addition to communicating forest-wide information with other domains.

replication topology

Active Directory is only replicated when the name of an object has changed.

False

Certain operations, such as a password change or an account lockout, will be transmitted by using __________ replication, which means that the change will be placed at the “beginning of the line” and applied before any other changes that are waiting to be replicated.

urgent

Domain controllers located in different sites will participate in __________ replication.

intersite

Domain controllers located in different sites will participate in intrasite replication.

False

For both intrasite and intersite replication, what protocol does Active Directory use for all replication traffic?

How often does intrasite replication occur by default?

15 minutes

How often does replication occur in intersite replication?

180 minutes

Replication within Active Directory will occur when which of the following conditions is met?

All of the above

Site links connect two sites that communicate using the same protocol.

True

The ISTG automatically assigns one server in each site as the bridgehead server unless you override this by establishing a list of __________ bridgehead servers.

preferred

The KCC is responsible for calculating intrasite replication partners. During this process, what is the maximum number of hops that the KCC will allow between domain controllers?

3

The guiding principle involved in the KCC’s selection of replication partners and its creation of replication objects is the “Rule of Four,” which states that no single domain controller should be more than four network hops away from any domain controller that can originate a change to the Active Directory database.

False

The primary goal of intersite replication is to minimize the usage of __________.

bandwidth

What command-line tool can be used to manually create a replication topology if site link bridging is disabled if the network is not fully routed?

Repadmin

What command-line tool used for monitoring Active Directory provides functionality that includes performing connectivty and replication tests?

dcdiag

What defines a chain of site links by which domain controllers from different sites can communicate?

site link bridge

What describes the amount of time that it takes for all domain controllers in the environment to contain the most up-to-date information?

convergence

What is an alternative solution for intersite replication when a direct or reliable IP connection is not available?

SMTP

What process is responsible for selecting a bridgehead server and mapping the topology to be used for replication between sites?

Intersite Topology Generator

When configuring a site link object, which attribute allows the administrator to define the path that replication will take?

cost

When replicating information between sites, Active Directory will designate a __________ server in each site to act as a gatekeeper in managing site-to-site replication.

bridgehead

When replicating information between sites, Active Directory will designate a bridgehead server in each site to act as a gatekeeper in managing site-to-site replication.

True

When you install the forest root domain controller in an Active Directory forest, the Active Directory Installation Wizard creates a single site named __________.

Default-First-Site-Name

As a rule of thumb, you should estimate __________ percent of the size of the ntds.dit file of every other domain in the forest when sizing hardware for a global catalog server.

50

Each object’s SID consists of two components: the domain portion and the __________.

relative identifier

How many FSMO roles does Active Directory support?

5

How many RID Masters can a domain have?

1

The Domain Naming Master is responsible for managing changes to the Active Directory schema.

False

The Infrastructure Master FSMO role is responsible for reference updates from its domain objects to other domains.

True

The PDC Emulator is responsible for managing time synchronization within an Active Directory domain.

True

The RID Master FSMO role distributes RIDs to domain controllers in what increments?

500

The domain controller that hosts the global catalog must have enough space on the hard drive to house the global catalog. As a rule of thumb, you should estimate 75 percent of the size of the ntds.dit file of every other domain in the forest when sizing hardware for a global catalog server.

False

What Windows Server 2008 feature stores universal group memberships on a local domain controller that can be used for logon to the domain, eliminating the need for frequent access to a global catalog server?

universal group membership caching

What allows a user to be able to log on using a cached copy of his or her logon credentials that have been stored on his or her local workstation?

cached credentials

What console must be used to move the Domain Naming Master FSMO role?

Active Directory Domains and Trusts

What holds a subset of forest-wide Active Directory objects and acts as a central repository by holding a complete copy of all objects from the host server’s local domain with a partial copy of all objects from other domains within the same forest?

global catalog

What is a partial copy of all objects from other domains within the same forest that is held on a global catalog server?

partial attribute set

What is used to uniquely identify an object throughout the Active Directory domain?

security identifier

What port is used by Active Directory to direct search requests to a global catalog server?

3268

What procedure is used only when you have experienced a catastrophic failure of a domain controller that holds a FSMO role and you need to recover that role?

role seizure

What process is used when you move a FSMO role gracefully from one domain controller to another?

role transfer

What tool is used to seize a FSMO role?

ntdsutil

What types of memberships are stored in the global catalog?

universal

When a user initiates a search for an object in Active Directory, the request is automatically sent to TCP port 3389, which is used by Active Directory to direct these requests to a global catalog server.

False

Which FSMO role has the authority to manage the creation and deletion of domains, domain trees, and application data partitions in the forest?

Domain Naming Master
