Read the first 7 70-296: Planning and Maintaining Windows Server 2003 Environment flashcards as text

  1. You need to configure a Windows Server 2003 server to allow users to run applications remotely as if they were sitting at the server. Which role service should you install?

    Answer: Terminal Server

    Terminal Server allows multiple users to connect simultaneously and run applications on the server, providing a multi-user environment for remote application access.

  2. When planning Group Policy for a Windows Server 2003 domain, which order of precedence applies when policies conflict (from lowest to highest priority)?

    Answer: Local, Site, Domain, OU

    Group Policy processes in Local, Site, Domain, OU order (LSDOU), with later policies overwriting earlier ones, so OU policies have the highest precedence.

  3. A company needs to provide Internet access to internal users while hiding internal IP addresses. Which Windows Server 2003 service should you implement?

    Answer: Network Address Translation (NAT)

    Network Address Translation (NAT) maps multiple internal private IP addresses to one or more public IP addresses, hiding the internal network structure from the Internet.

  4. You want to monitor the health of multiple Windows Server 2003 servers from a central location. Which tool allows you to create a consolidated view of event logs from multiple servers?

    Answer: Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM)

    Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) collects, correlates, and presents event log data from multiple servers in a centralized console for enterprise-level monitoring.

  5. Which Windows Server 2003 backup method backs up only files that have changed since the last Normal or Incremental backup and clears the archive bit?

    Answer: Incremental backup

    Incremental backup copies files changed since the last Normal or Incremental backup and clears the archive bit, requiring the last Normal plus all Incrementals for a full restore.

  6. A user reports they cannot access a shared folder on a Windows Server 2003 member server. NTFS permissions grant the user Read access, but Share permissions are set to Everyone: Full Control. What is the effective permission?

    Answer: Read

    When accessing resources over the network, the effective permission is the most restrictive combination of NTFS and Share permissions; here, NTFS Read is more restrictive than Share Full Control, so the result is Read.

  7. You are deploying Windows Server 2003 to 50 new servers. Which technology allows you to automate the installation using an answer file to provide responses to setup prompts?

    Answer: Unattended installation with Unattend.txt

    Unattended installation uses an answer file (Unattend.txt) that provides automated responses to all Windows Server 2003 Setup prompts, enabling hands-free deployment.
