MCSE MSCE Server Infrastructure & Network Management 4 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A Windows Server administrator needs to configure IPsec between two servers for data-in-transit encryption. Which Windows feature manages these IPsec rules through a GUI?
- Routing and Remote Access (RRAS)
- Windows Firewall with Advanced Security (Correct answer)
- Network Policy Server (NPS)
- Windows Defender Credential Guard
Correct answer: Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
Windows Firewall with Advanced Security provides a GUI for creating connection security rules that enforce IPsec authentication and encryption between hosts.
Question 2: An MCSE candidate is troubleshooting a DHCP server that is not issuing leases. The event log shows 'DHCP server is not authorized.' What is the most likely resolution?
- Restart the DHCP Server service
- Authorize the DHCP server in Active Directory (Correct answer)
- Create a new DHCP scope
- Enable DHCP relay agent on the router
Correct answer: Authorize the DHCP server in Active Directory
In an Active Directory domain, DHCP servers must be authorized in AD DS before they can issue leases; unauthorized servers are blocked from responding to client requests.
Question 3: A Windows Server administrator uses PowerShell to manage servers remotely. Which command enables PowerShell remoting on a server?
- Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
- Enable-PSRemoting -Force (Correct answer)
- Start-Service WinRM
- New-PSSession -ComputerName Server01
Correct answer: Enable-PSRemoting -Force
Enable-PSRemoting configures the WS-Management service, creates firewall rules, and sets up the listener needed to accept remote PowerShell connections.
Question 4: In a Windows Server 2019 Hyper-V environment, which live migration feature allows VM migration without shared storage between hosts?
- Quick Migration
- Shared Nothing Live Migration (Correct answer)
- Hyper-V Replica
- Storage Migration
Correct answer: Shared Nothing Live Migration
Shared Nothing Live Migration transfers both the VM's memory state and storage simultaneously, enabling live migration between hosts that have no shared storage.
Question 5: A network team deploys a Windows Server router using RRAS. They need to support OSPF dynamic routing. Which edition of Windows Server natively supports OSPF in RRAS?
- Windows Server 2019 Standard
- Windows Server 2019 Datacenter
- No current Windows Server edition supports OSPF in RRAS (Correct answer)
- Windows Server Core only
Correct answer: No current Windows Server edition supports OSPF in RRAS
Microsoft removed OSPF support from RRAS starting with Windows Server 2008; only static routes and RIP are available in current RRAS implementations.
Question 6: An administrator wants to deploy Windows Server to 200 machines simultaneously using PXE boot. Which Windows Server role service provides the PXE and image distribution capabilities?
- WSUS
- MDT only
- Windows Deployment Services (WDS) (Correct answer)
- System Center Configuration Manager exclusively
Correct answer: Windows Deployment Services (WDS)
Windows Deployment Services (WDS) provides a PXE server and image management service that allows network-based OS deployment to multiple bare-metal machines simultaneously.
Question 7: A server administrator needs to analyze network packet captures on a Windows Server without installing third-party software. Which built-in tool can capture network traffic?
- netstat
- netsh trace start (Correct answer)
- ipconfig /all
- tracert
Correct answer: netsh trace start
The 'netsh trace start' command uses the built-in ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) network capture provider to record packets to an .etl file without any third-party tools.
