1.The Manager of your company grants access to her mailbox to herassistant using Outlook 2000 as a mail client. The assistant reportsthat she cannot access the managers mailbox despite severalattempts of logging off and on. How would you, as the Exchangeadministrator, allow the assistant access?a. Ensure that access to private items has been specified in Outlook2000b. Ensure that Editor permissions have been granted to the assistantin Outlook 2000.c. Use Active Directory Users and Computers Console to modify themanagers account to allow Full mailbox access permission to theassistant.d. Use Active Directory Users and Computers Console to modify themanagers account to allow Read mailbox access permission to theassistant.Ans: CAs an administrator you should not log on as the Manager and insteadreset the permissions using Exchange. Only read access is required notfull functionality, ie send as etc, so I would opt for D B almost implies that you need to ensure ie. ask the Manager whatpermissions he set and change them to Editor as required. Thequestion strongly implies that you as the administrator must fixand perhaps not involve the manager.You can grant or deny permissions for a mailbox-enabled user, ormail-enabled user or group, that enables them to access another'smailbox. This is helpful when you want to enable a user or group tohave permissions to another's mailbox. You can remove amailbox-enabled user, or mail-enabled user or group, from Name onthe Mailbox Rights tab. Double-click the user or group for whom youare granting or denying permissions. On the Exchange Advanced tab,click Mailbox Rights. On the Mailbox Rights tab, in Name, select auser or group. In Permissions, select the Allow or Deny check boxesfor the appropriate mailbox permissions.2. You are the Exchange administrator for your company. You arerequired to develop a backup and restoration solution. The Exchangeserver has a single storage group with two Mailbox Stores and aPublic Folder Store. The backup and recovery solution mustaccomplish the following:Mailbox databases must be backed up each night.Public folder databases must be backed up weekly.Transaction log files must be purged weekly.Which two backups must be performed from the list provided below?a. Nightly normal backup of the entire Storage Group.b. Nightly incremental backup of the entire Storage Group.c. Weekly differential backup of the entire Storage Group.d. Weekly normal backup of the entire Storage Group.e. Nightly normal backup of the mailbox databases.f. Weekly incremental backup of the mailbox databases.|a. Nightly normal backup of the entire Storage Group.(Would purgethe transaction logs nightly)|b. Nightly incremental backup of the entire Storage Group.(Wouldpurge the transaction logs nightly. An incremental backup onlyarchives the transaction log files since the last full orincremental backup. An incremental deletes old transaction logfiles)|c. Weekly differential backup of the entire Storage Group.(Adifferential backup only archives the transaction log files thathave changed since the last full backup. Transaction logs are notdeleted. Contains the entire strorage group and public foldersrequire weekly)|d. Weekly normal backup of the entire Storage Group.(This wouldinclude the Mailbox and public folders and would purge theTransaction logs as required)|e. Nightly normal backup of the mailbox databases.(As required)|f. Weekly incremental backup of the mailbox databases.(Nightly required)Ans: D, E3.You are responsible for the administration of a network,configured with Server 2000 and Exchange Server 2000. The users havereported that mailbox access speed has reduced significantly. Usingthe Task Manager utility on the Exchange 2000 Server computer younote the following results: CPU 88%, Memory total 217940, Available15900.Process indicator shows disk I/O reads above normal. Allcomponents are functioning correctly. What step is required to solvethe problem?a. Install more RAM.b. Install another CPU.c. Move the mailbox store to a RAID5 disk array.d. Install another network adapter.Ans: CInstall more RAM. (This would improve the over-all performance ofthe Server, however an increase may also increase the load on thehard drives for log file writes)Install another CPU.(Although theCPU is over the threshold of 80%, this could be a result ofinsufficient RAM- causing more paging, or inadequate hard driveconfiguration causing more demand on the hard drives for read writequeues) Move the mailbox store to a RAID5 disk array.(As perexplanation)Install another network adapter. (The Task managerutility does not offer any information on data transfers through thenetwork card)The speed of the exchange database depends significantly on the howquickly data can be copied from memory to the transaction log. Anindication that the RAM is almost fully utilized may not mean thelack thereof, but moreover the bottleneck of attempting to writedata to the hard drives that are accommodating both logs and stores.RAID-5 volumes have better read performance than mirrored volumes,this strategy is recommended over mirrored volumes for applicationsthat require redundancy and are primarily read-oriented. Also, awrite operation requires three times more memory than a readoperation during normal operation. For optimum performance, each setof transaction logs should be placed on a separate drive. Becauseeach storage group has its own set of transaction logs, the numberof dedicated transaction log drives for your server should equal thenumber of planned storage groups. Although it is possible to havemultiple sets of transaction logs on the same drive, serverperformance may decline significantly. To optimize performance,dedicate separate physical drives for the log files of your storagegroups. When each set of log files has its own physical drive,server performance improves. To optimize fault tolerance of the logfiles, use hardware mirroring with redundant array of independentdrives4. You are the administrator of your companys network. The managerrequests that a list of new employees be immediately added to yourExchange 2000 organization. You add the new employees, andimmediately call the executive to inform him that they have beenadded. He attempts to verify this but cannot see them in the GlobalAddress List. What can you do to force the new users to appear inthe GAL?a. Stop and restart the System Attendant Service.b. Force the Recipient Update Service to update immediately.c. Force Active Directory connector to update Exchange immediately.d. Force the Directory Service to update immediately from anotherserver.Ans: B|a. Stop and restart the System Attendant Service.(To add a new mailbox store to Information Store, IIS Admin Servicesand the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service must berunning.)|b. Force the Recipient Update Service to update immediately.(On the recipient update services- RHS -right click and chooseUpdate Now)|c. Force Active Directory connector to update Exchange immediately.(Proper synchronization between Exchange 2000 and Active Directoryensures that your Exchange messaging system functions reliably.)|d. Force the Directory Service to update immediately from anotherserver.The Recipient Update Service is part of Exchange System Attendant.Recipient Update Service is used by Exchange to generate and updatedefault and customized address lists and to process changes made torecipient policies. The Recipient Update Service builds and updatesaddress list membership using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol(LDAP) and the filter rules you set or modify for customized addresslists. New address lists you create, and existing address lists thatyou modify, are updated by Recipient Update Service, ensuring thatyour Exchange users have access to current address lists when theybrowse for organizational resources. You may select a pre-set updateinterval or customize an address list update schedule. If youcustomize an address list update schedule, select update intervalsthat allow enough time for address list generation to completebefore the next update begins. You can manually update an addresslist instead of waiting for scheduled updates to occur. The updatingprocess incorporates the changes you have made to address listmemberships since the last scheduled update. To update an addresslists manually:Start System Manager: On the Start menu, point toPrograms, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click SystemManager. Cannot Start the Application. You can manually start theapplication by following these instructions: On the Start menu,point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then clickSystem Manager. In the console tree, double-click Recipients, andthen double-click Recipient Update Services. In the details pane,right-click the Recipient Update Service responsible for updatingthe domain you want to update, and then click Update Now.5.You are the Exchange administrator of a Windows 2000 network. Youare configuring an Exchange Server 2000 environment for the supportof over 9000 IMAP users. You are implementing twelve Windows 2000server computers. You do not want the mailbox servers to performauthentication. How should Exchange servers be configured?a. Install four Windows 2000 domain controllers and eight Exchange2000 mailbox member servers. Configure load balancing among theExchange servers.b. Install twelve domain controllers. Install Exchange 2000 Serveron six of the domain controllers. Configure load balancing among theExchange servers.c. Install six Windows 2000 domain controllers. Install Exchange2000 Server on two of the domain controllers and configure them asfront-end servers. Install the Exchange 2000 mailbox member serversand configure load balancing between the Exchange front-end servers.d. Install two Windows 2000 domain controllers. Install the Exchange2000 mailbox member servers. Configure load balancing among theExchange front-end servers.Ans: D|a. Install four Windows 2000 domain controllers and eight Exchange2000 mailbox member servers. Configure load balancing among theExchange servers.(You are required to configure load balancingamongst the front and backend Exchange servers, in this instance youwould only have back end Exchange servers)b. Install twelve domaincontrollers. Install Exchange 2000 Server on six of the domaincontrollers. Configure load balancing among the Exchange servers.(Ifthe server is a Domain controller it will participate inauthentication whether it had Exchange or not and there are nobackend servers)c. Install six Windows 2000 domain controllers.Install Exchange 2000 Server on two of the domain controllers andconfigure them as front-end servers. Install the Exchange 2000mailbox member servers and configure load balancing between theExchange front-end servers.(You need the DCs for the domain and atleast 2 with Exchange for fault tolerance. This would mean 6 DCs, 2with Exchange for clients access control, front end, and 6 Exchangemember servers as a backend for data retrieval)d. Install twoWindows 2000 domain controllers. Install the Exchange 2000 mailboxmember servers. Configure load balancing among the Exchangefront-end servers.(There are no front-end servers)To create a front-end/back-end configuration, you must have twoexisting Windows 2000 servers with Exchange 2000 installed. Oneserver functions as the back-end server and the other functions asthe front-end server. If all IMAP4 servers are part of afront-end/back-end configuration, a single name provides user accessto all IMAP4 servers in your configuration. Clients can beconfigured to connect using the name IMAP Server, and software orhardware load balancing is used to randomly distribute the loadamong the IMAP4 servers. For multi-server organizations, Microsoftrecommends a front-end/back-end deployment of Outlook Web Access.HTTP requests are proxied by the front-end server to a back-endserver running Outlook Web Access and Exchange. In a multiple serverenvironment, authentication occurs on both the front-end (userauthentication) and back-end servers (permission to accessresource). To set up the back-end server, designate an Exchangeserver as the back-end server and create users on this server. Thefront-end server receives requests from users and communicates withthe back-end server. Before an IMAP4 client can connect to a server,a mailbox-enabled user must be created in Active Directory for theclient, hence the need for a DC. The IMAP4 client also must beconfigured with account information that is necessary to allow theclient to connect to the IMAP4 virtual server.6. Due to the lack of a Firewall, several mailboxes on your Serverbecome infected with a virus. Some mailboxes are not infected. Youexport the uninfected email messages. You want to remove themailboxes from an online backup that was performed prior to thevirus infection. Circular logging is enabled. You configure WindowsBackup to always overwrite files on your computer and then perform arestore from your online backups. The Restore Progress Reportindicates a successful restore with skipped files. You examine yourExchange mailbox and the mailbox database files were not restored.Before merging the uninfected messages into the databases, whatinitial steps are required?a. Stop the Information Store Service and perform the restore again,selecting the same overwrite options.b. Dismount the database and perform the restore again, being sureto select the same overwrite options.c. Perform the restore again and select the Last Restore Set option.d. Within Windows Backup, select the 'Compute selection informationbefore backup and restore' check box and perform the restore again.Ans: b|a. Stop the Information Store Service and perform the restore again,selecting the same overwrite options.(Service must be running)|b. Dismount the database and perform the restore again, being sureto select the same overwrite options.(Will not rebuild the database)|c. Perform the restore again and select the Last Restore Set option.(See explanation)|d. Within Windows Backup, select the "Compute selection informationbefore backup and restore" check box and perform the restore again.(Estimates the number of files and bytes that will be backed up orrestored during the current backup or restore operation. Thisinformation will be calculated and displayed before the backup orrestore begins.)By enabling circular logging, you reduce drive storage spacerequirements. However, without complete transaction log files, youcannot recover anything more recent than the last full backup. Youmust make sure that services on which Exchange depends are runningor you will not be able to restore a database. This allows you toprovide users access to all other databases while you are restoringinformation in a specific database. You must make sure that thedatabases you do want to restore are dismounted. If you arerestoring a full backup without any incremental backups, select Lastrestore set to start log file replay after restoring the database.This will begin rebuilding the database after the restore. If youare restoring a backup with incremental backups, do not select thisoption until you are restoring the last incremental backup.7. ACME chemicals recently acquired NUKE CO. whose email system willnot be integrated with their existing Exchange 2000 environment.Additional Exchange 2000 Servers will be implemented to support thenewly acquired employees and their expected data. Emailadministrators from NUKE CO. will be administering these newExchange 2000 Servers. How should the NUKE CO. administrators beintegrated without granting them access to the existing ACMEExchange 2000 Servers and the data held therein?Choose the best answer.a) Create a new Exchange site. Install the new servers into the newsite. Set the appropriate permissions at the organization and sitelevels.b) Install the new servers into the existing Exchange site. Set theappropriate permissions at the server level.c) Create a new administrative group. Install the new servers intothe group and run the Exchange Administration Delegation Wizard toassign the appropriate permissions.d) Install the new servers into the existing administrative groupand run the Exchange Administration Delegation Wizard to assign theappropriate permissions.Ans: C|a Create a new Exchange site. Install the new servers into the newsite. Set the appropriate permissions at the organization and sitelevels.(Sites are NT4 and have been replaced with routing groups) b)Install the new servers into the existing Exchange site. Set theappropriate permissions at the server level.(As above)c) Create anew administrative group. Install the new servers into the group andrun the Exchange Administration Delegation Wizard to assign theappropriate permissions.d) Install the new servers into the existingadministrative group and run the Exchange Administration DelegationWizard to assign the appropriate permissions.(The new servers would inherit the permissions you have set for thegroup, which would in effect allow unauthorized access for the newadministrators on the existing servers)This is the mixed administrative model. In Exchange versions 5.5 andearlier, the concept of a site defined the administrative androuting topologies for an organization. In Exchange 2000, the siteis split into administrative groups and routing group.Administrative groups are used to define the administrative topologyfor large companies with a large number of departments or divisions,Exchange servers, and administrators. Small- to medium-sizedcompanies do not need administrative groups, and because of this,support for administrative groups is disabled by default. Routinggroups are used to define the physical network topology of yourExchange servers. An administrative group is a collection ofExchange objects that are grouped together to simplify management ofpermissions. After creating an administrative group and settingpermissions for it, you can add objects to it and the objectsinherit the permissions you have set for the group.8. You administer an Exchange 2000 Server for your company. Youimplemented a Mailbox Store Policy to restrict the amount of mailboxstorage for each user. You later created an additional Mailbox Storeand moved mailboxes to the new store. The mailboxes on the newMailbox Store are able to exceed the limits of the Mailbox StorePolicy. You are required to enforce the Mailbox Store Policy on thenew Mailbox Store with the least amount of administrative effort.How would this be achieved?a. Create a new Mailbox Store Policy that affects the new MailboxStore.b. Modify the storage limit settings on the new Mailbox Store tomatch the Mailbox Store Policy.c. Add the new Mailbox Store to the Mailbox Store Policy.d. Create a server policy that affects both Mailbox Stores.Ans: C|a. Create a new Mailbox Store Policy that affects the new MailboxStore.(A policy already exists and can be used)|b. Modify the storage limit settings on the new Mailbox Store tomatch the Mailbox Store Policy.(Defeats the purpose of using policies against individual changes orsettings)|c. Add the new Mailbox Store to the Mailbox Store Policy.(Seeexplanation)|d. Create a server policy that affects both Mailbox Stores.(Policieswill conflict, will need to remove one policy, will work but isadmin intensive)With a mailbox store policy, you can quickly apply general,database, and message limit properties to mailbox stores. Policies,a new feature for Exchange, are designed to enable flexibleadministration of large numbers of Exchange objects. A policy is acollection of configuration settings that is applied to one or moreExchange objects of the same class; for example, an administratorcan define a policy that controls configuration settings acrossmultiple servers. Once these policies are defined and implemented,you can change the configuration of all of the servers by editingthe policies and applying the changes. It is possible for twopolicies to be applied to the same object. After creating a policy,you add Exchange objects of the same type to it. In the MicrosoftExchange Administrator dialog box, which prompts you to verify thatyou want to add the object to the policy, click Yes. If the objectis under the control of another policy, another Microsoft ExchangeAdministrator dialog box prompts you to verify whether you want toremove the object from the control of the other policy. Click Yes.9.You are the administrator of the following network.
ExhibitIt has been reported that Unauthorized Internet users are using yourcompanys SMTP server. You are required to prevent unauthorized useof your SMTP server, but yet still allow your employees connectivityto your Exchange Servers from within the intranet or from theInternet. How would you accomplish this?a. Create a rule on the firewall allowing only computers on the LANto access IP address 192.169.1.0/24 using ports 25, 80, and 110.b. Create a rule on the firewall allowing only computers on theperimeter network to access IP address 192.168.1.0/24 using ports25, 80, and 110.c. Configure the SMTP servers to accept connections from only192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24.d. Configure the SMTP servers to accept connections from anyone andto allow relaying for only IP addresses 192.168.1.0/24 and192.168.2.0/24.Ans: D|a) Create a rule on the firewall allowing only computers on the LANto access IP address 192.169.1.0/24 using ports 25, 80, and 110.(Rules apply to mail gateways)b) Create a rule on the firewallallowing only computers on the perimeter network to access IPaddress 192.168.1.0/24 using ports 25, 80, and 110.(Rules apply to mail gateways) c) Configure the SMTP servers toaccept connections from only 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24Clients will not be able to access the front-endservers from the Internet)d) Configure the SMTP servers to acceptconnections from anyone and to allow relaying for only IP addresses|192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24.(Authentication between theservers will prevent any unauthorized access, which is their maintask)Port numbers:SMTP 25HTTP 80POP3 110(DMZ), which is also called a perimeter network. Typically, you donot maintain internal data, such as user mailboxes, on systems inthe DMZ. Those servers need to be configured as front end serversrelaying client access to back end systems where the actual usermailboxes reside. All incoming connections must pass through thefirst firewall, which only allows access to specific ports, such asTCP port 80 for HTTP or TCP port 110 for POP3. Public SMTPconnections cannot be encrypted because SMTP hosts of foreigndomains will need to communicate with your SMTP relay host in theDMZ in clear text. On the other side, between theDMZ relay serverand the servers in the internal network, you may configure an SMTPConnector and require authentication between the servers.10. You are the administrator of your companys network. An employeein your company frequently emails attachments to a company contactat a supplier named Health Tech. The recipient at Health Techreports that the email attachments he receives has a long series ofrandom numbers at the end of messages. Health Tech uses an olderemail system. How should Exchange 2000 Server be configured tocorrectly deliver attachments to healthtech.com?a. Configure a new POP3 virtual server and enforce rich-text as theenabled message format. Modify the Connection Control Value to allowaccess from only the healthtech.com domain.b. Configure a new IMAP4 virtual server. Modify MIME messageencoding to provide message body as plain text. Modify theConnection Control Value to allow access from only thehealthtech.com domain.c. Create a new Internet message format for the healthtech.comdomain. Configure domain message encoding to use UUEncode. DisableBin-Hex for Macintosh.d. Create a new Internet message format for the healthtech.comdomain. Configure domain message encoding to use MME. Set MME to useUUencode.Ans: B|a. Configure a new POP3 virtual server and enforce rich-text as theenabled message format. Modify the Connection Control Value to allowaccess from only the healthtech.com domain.(Messages sent by an Internet client are stored in an Internetformat and there no message conversion occurs when the message isread by a POP3 client.)|b. Configure a new IMAP4 virtual server. Modify MIME messageencoding to provide message body as plain text. Modify theConnection Control Value to allow access from only thehealthtech.com domain.(The message body will be in plain text and the attachments in MIME)|c. Create a new Internet message format for the healthtech.comdomain. Configure domain message encoding to use UUEncode. DisableBin-Hex for Macintosh.|d. Create a new Internet message format for the healthtech.comdomain. Configure domain message encoding to use MME. Set MME to useUUencode.(When you select UUEncode, you cannot select the MIME option.)Messages sent by Internet clients are stored in MultipurposeInternet Mail Extensions (MIME) format, and no message conversiontakes place when the messages are read by clients. Messages sent byMAPI clients are converted from Microsoft Rich Text Format (RTF) toMIME by Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). You can associate MIMEcontent types with an extension to ensure that messages convertcorrectly. You can also specify how all messages sent to a specificdomain are converted. Messages sent by a MAPI client are convertedfrom Microsoft Rich Text Format (RTF) to Multipurpose Internet MailExtensions (MIME) when read by a POP3 client. If the POP3 clientsyou support use UNIX to UNIX encoding, you can use uuencode insteadof MIME when messages are converted. UNIX to UNIX encode (uuencode)is an application that converts a binary file into printable 7-bitASCII characters without loss of information. This allows data, suchas images or applications, to be distributed through e-mail ornewsgroups.11.You are the administrator of the following network.
ExhibitThe email network users in Surrey report inadequate performance whenopening a form stored in the companys organizational forms library.How would these delays be solved?a) Upgrade the 56 Kbps connection to a T1 line and decrease the costproperty of the routing group connector to 25.b) Upgrade the 56 Kbps connection to a T1 line and increase the costproperty of the routing group connector to 75.c) Create a public folder store on EXCHANGETWO and replicate theorganizational forms library between EXCHANGEONE and EXCHANGETWO.d) Create a public folder store on EXCHANGETWO and copy theorganizational forms library to a publicAns: C|a) Upgrade the 56 Kbps connection to a T1 line and decrease the costproperty of the routing group connector to 25.(There is only oneconnection between the two exchange environments and costs will onlyapply to multiple connections. The choice for public folder affinityis tempting: If Server1 does not have a replica of the public folderit makes a list of all replica servers for the public folder.Server1 then sorts the list in the order of increasing cost, asstored in the cost database. Server1 sends the list to the client.The client then attempts to connect to any one of these servers,starting with the lowest cost first.)|b) Upgrade the 56 Kbps connection to a T1 line and increase the costproperty of the routing group connector to 75.(There is only oneconnection between the two exchange environments and costs will onlyapply to multiple connections)|c) Create a public folder store on EXCHANGETWO and replicate theorganizational forms library between EXCHANGEONE andEXCHANGETWO.(Access to the public folder store would not utilize theslow link between the two exchange environments as a copy would beavailable locally, replication schedules could be used to replicatewhen network utilization is low or when it is active, common with56K connections)|d) Create a public folder store on EXCHANGETWO and copy theorganizational forms library to a public folder in the new publicfolder share.(Contents will become outdated as changes are made.Replication solves that issue but would result in high latency ifconfigured. Local access could however be improved)Communication between routing groups is handled by the Exchangerouting group connectors. Connector costs range between 1 and 100and are assigned per address space. A connector cost represents thepreference for one connector over others. Since a connector cansupport multiple address spaces, it may be associated with severalcosts. When a client must use an alternate server to access publicfolder content, Exchange utilizes routing groups to calculate theclosest available server. The closest available server is determinedby a cost property set on the connector. The client then attempts toconnect to any one of these servers, starting with the lowest costfirst. A public folder can be configured to have replicas onmultiple public folder servers. Replicas are useful for distributingthe user load on servers, distributing public foldersgeographically, and backing up public folder data. All replicas of apublic folder are equal; that is, there is no master replica. Theprocess of keeping replicas up to date is called public folderreplication. There are many ways to customize replication. You cancreate copies of specific public folders or you can replicate theentire public folder hierarchy. You can also change schedules,specify how urgent replication messages are sent, and managereplication between organizations. If the majority of folderscontain information that rarely changes, you can schedule lessfrequent replication for all folders in the same store. If onefolder contains time-critical information that is updated moreoften, you can set up more frequent replication to ensure that allreplicas remain current. You can also schedule replication duringnon-peak hours to reduce message traffic.12.You administer your companys Windows 2000 network. Users in yourcompany report that their emails sent to multiple external email addressesin a large distribution group are returned with a non-delivery report(NDR). What should be done to overcome this problem?a. Use the Active Directory User and Computer console to change messagesize limits on the distribution groupb. Use the Active Directory User and Computer console to change messagerestrictions on the distribution group.c. Increase the maximum number of connections on the SMTP virtual server.d. Increase the maximum number of recipients on the SMTP virtual server.Ans: D|a) Use the Active Directory User and Computer console to change messagesize limits on the distribution group.(You can set the maximum messagesize limit for a mail-enabled recipient. Since message limits are set inthe mail-enabled recipient's Properties dialog box, you can set maximumsize limits on an individual basis. Message size restrictions reduce theamount of disk space required to store messages (not send))|b) Use the Active Directory User and Computer console to change messagerestrictions on the distribution group.(By default, mail-enabled groupscan receive messages from everyone in an Exchange organization. You canset restrictions so that messages can be accepted only from a specificlist of recipients, or you can allow messages to be accepted from everyoneexcept a specific list of recipients. Per user not site.)|c) Increase the maximum number of connections on the SMTP virtual server.(Use this option to improve the speed of message delivery by openingmultiple connections to a server. Select the check box, and then in thetext box, type a maximum number of messages that the virtual server cansend in one session. The default is 20 connections. (Limit the Number ofMessages Per Connection: This option enables you to limit the number ofmessages sent in a single connection. It also provides a method forimproving system performance by allowing the use of multiple connectionsto deliver messages. Once the set limit is reached, a new connection isautomatically opened and the transmission continues until all messages aredelivered.) no real limit|d) Increase the maximum number of recipients on the SMTP virtualserver.(Use this check box to type a maximum number of recipients to whoman individual e-mail message can be addressed. If a message exceeds themaximum number of recipients, Exchange will return the excess recipientsto the sender with a (NDR). The default limit is 64,000 recipients. Thisis the only answer that makes sense yet that's a serious DL, one wouldassume someone has altered the default setting)External adds, tend towards SMTP13.You are the Exchange administrator for your jeans manufacturing companynamed (ACME Co.), You are required to configure an email account toreceive answers to a job advertisement for an employment position whichwill be resumes@ACME.com. You create an Outlook public folder namedResumes. What two actions must you take to ensure that employees fromother departments cannot see this public folder yet the availability ofthe resume submission for the public must not be hindered? (choose two)a. Change the permissions role for the Default User to Contributor.b. Enable anonymous access for the Resumes folder.c. Change the name of the Resumes folder in the address list toresumes@ACME.com.d. Change the SMTP address of the Resumes folder to resumes@ACME.com.e. Make the Resumes folder visible in the address list.Ans: A, D|a. Change the permissions role for the Default User to Contributor. (Cancreate items, (submit resume) and the folder is visible, yet they cantalter the folder itself)|b. Enable anonymous access for the Resumes folder.(The anon usersrepresents all users logged on with anon access using web browsers ornewsreader programs)|c. Change the name of the Resumes folder in the address list toresumes@ACME.com.(This would only change the display name of the folderand not affect access)|d. Change the SMTP address of the Resumes folder to resumes@ACME.com.(Setas primary to set an e-mail address as the public folder's reply address,highlight the e-mail address you want to use, and then click Set asprimary to designate the reply address. Replies to the public folder willbe sent to the primary Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) address. )|e. Make the Resumes folder visible in the address list.Each public folder tree uses a separate database on an Exchange server.Exchange dynamically creates a URL for each item in the information store.This means users can access any piece of information including mailboxes,messages and public folders from a standard web browser. http://servername/public/foldername. This integration is provided by IIS. Forevery mail-enabled public folder you create, an Address Book entry iscreated. By default, a folder is hidden from users until you make theentry visible and specify a display name. If a folder in Address Book ishidden, users can still post messages to the folder if they know itsaddress and type it in the To box of a message. By displaying a publicfolder in Address Book, you make it easier for all users to access it. Bydefault, all users have permission to read messages in a public folder.You can change permissions for all users or create different permissionsfor specific users. You have to manually mail enable a public folder tomake it appear in the GAL.14. You administer an Exchange 2000 Server for your company. Salesemployees complain that they cannot open certain email messages in aparticular public folder. On Investigation you note that several foldersin the Public Folder Store are damaged or corrupt. How will access to theemail messages be restored?a. Dismount the Public Folder Store and run ESEUTIL /cc. Remount the store.b. Dismount the Public Folder Store and run ISINTEG - fix. Remount the store.c. Run ISINTEG -patch on the database and restart the Information Store Service.d. Run ESEUTIL /CM on the database and restart the Information Store Service.Ans: B|a. Dismount the Public Folder Store and run ESEUTIL /cc. Remount the store.(ESEUTIL.EXE will attempt to repair corrupted tables, but pages (that is,data) that cannot be fixed are purged and can therefore no longer be foundin the database. The ESEUTIL /CC command is used if you forget to checkthe Last backup set option on a restore)|b. Dismount the Public Folder Store and run ISINTEG - fix. Remount thestore.(In fix mode it will run tests on the store and fix what it can. It isfriendlier than eseutil that discards data that is amiss)|c. Run ISINTEG -patch on the database and restart the Information StoreService.(Patch is used after a restore on 5.5)|d. Run ESEUTIL /CM on the database and restart the Information StoreService.(ESEUTIL.EXE will attempt to repair corrupted tables, but pages (that is,data) that cannot be fixed are purged and can therefore no longer be foundin the database. This command would start a recovery and a create dump file)To recover databases in Information Store, you must verify that all theservices, which Exchange depends on, are running. To restore a database,you must also dismount the database. However, now that Exchange supportsmultiple storage groups, you only have to dismount the specific databaseyou want to restore. This allows users access to any other databases inInformation Store.15. You are responsible for the maintenance and performance statistics ofyour companys exchange environment. You have been asked to configure yourExchange 2000 environment performance settings to ensure that currentperformance statistics can be compared to performance statistics at alater stage. How would this be achieved?a. Use Task Manager to monitor CPU and memory usage. Document resultsweekly and evaluate information monthly.b. Use System Monitor to create a weekly performance log. Add InformationStore services and CPU and memory usage statistics to the log. Run the logweekly and evaluate information monthly.c. Monitor CPU usage and memory usage for the store.exe and em/smta.exeprocesses using Task Manager. Document results weekly and evaluateinformation monthly.d. Use System Monitor to create a weekly performance log. Add networkusage, server work queries, and LDAP search counters to the log. Run thelog weekly and evaluate information monthly.Ans: D|a. Use Task Manager to monitor CPU and memory usage. Document resultsweekly and evaluate information monthly.(Task manager does not providelogging functionality and also limited counters. Option is somewhatpossible but un-realistic)|b. Use System Monitor to create a weekly performance log. Add InformationStore services and CPU and memory usage statistics to the log. Run the logweekly and evaluate information monthly.(Does not supply sufficientcounters to offer an entire exchange environment log. Indicates a limitedserver specific environment. Information Store services are added bydefault)|c. Monitor CPU usage and memory usage for the store.exe and em/smta.exeprocesses using Task Manager. Document results weekly and evaluateinformation monthly.(As per a)|d. Use System Monitor to create a weekly performance log. Add networkusage, server work queries, and LDAP search counters to the log. Run thelog weekly and evaluate information monthly.MonitoringUse this dialog box to choose the resources you want to monitor on thisserver. You can add to or delete from the resources that are monitored,was well as set the error level that you want displayed to the user when aservice is not running. Resources include CPU threshold, available virtualmemory, free disk space, SMTP queue growth, Windows 2000 service, andothers.There are several critical areas that in which you should useperformance counters in addition to exchange specific counters, including:CPU, Network: server and server work queue, Disk I/O and memory.16. You are required to move over 200 mailboxes from a Mailbox Store inone storage group to a new store in a newly created storage group. Each ofthese mailboxes uses under 39 MB of space. The new Mailbox Store volumehas adequate available space and a transaction log volume of 2 GB. Whenthe mailboxes are moved, the destination Mailbox Store dismounts and theprocess fails. What is required in order to transfer the mailboxes withoutthe process failing?a. Select a smaller group of mailboxes to move to the new Mailbox Store.b. Move fewer than 50 mailboxes at a time and perform a differentialbackup after moving each group of mailboxes.c. Delete the full-text index files and dis-able indexing until allmailboxes are moved.d. Enable circular logging on the storage group that contains thedestination database until all of the mailboxes are moved.Ans: D|a. Select a smaller group of mailboxes to move to the new Mailbox Store.(May help, but would not allow you to achieve your goal)|b. Move fewer than 50 mailboxes at a time and perform a differentialbackup after moving each group of mailboxes.(Differential backups may netbe required as you could restore from the previous backups incase offailure, also becomes admin intensive)|c. Delete the full-text index files and dis-able indexing until allmailboxes are moved.(The index file can be updated it does not need to be deleted)|d. Enable circular logging on the storage group that contains thedestination database until all of the mailboxes are moved.(The logs willbe flooded when the mailbox database is moved, as all the new entries needto be written to the transaction first. This will cause the Database tofull up and the move stopped. Circular logging will overwrite the firstentries in the logs as required allowing enough time for the entries thatare required to be written to the database)When moving mailboxes from one storage group to another the size of themailbox can increase due to the issue of single instance storage. Exchangesupports single instance message storage for messages sent to mailboxes inthe same database. Only one instance of the message is stored in thedatabase. Single instance storage is not maintained when a databasecontaining a message is moved to a server containing a database with thesame message. To move multiple mailboxes use Control, to select the useraccounts, and right click then exchange tasks.17. You administer you companys Exchange 2000 Sever. It is configured witha 40 GB RAID-5 array that contains the public folders. The array is only2/3 full. It also has a pair of mirrored hard drives that host thetransaction log files. A single hard drive hosts the servers paging file,and a pair of mirrored hard drives host the operating system. The largenumber of documents in the public folders index is causing severeperformance problems. How could response time be improved?a. Install a new Exchange 2000 Server and configure the existing server asa public folder server only.b. Create a new directory structure with a public folder for each letterof the alphabet.c. Create a full-text index and place it on the mirrored disk set thatcontains the transaction logs.d. Create a new full-text index and place it on the existing RAID-5 array.Ans: D|a. Install a new Exchange 2000 Server and configure the existing server asa public folder server only.(Read/write performance will still be confined to the present location ofthe data)|b. Create a new directory structure with a public folder for each letterof the alphabet.(Will increase the indexing load, and also requires indexing to work)|c. Create a full-text index and place it on the mirrored disk set thatcontains the transaction logs.(For optimum performance, each set of transaction logs should be placed ona separate drive. Because each storage group has its own set oftransaction logs, the number of dedicated transaction log drives for yourserver should equal the number of planned storage groups. Although it ispossible to have multiple sets of transaction logs on the same drive,server performance may decline significantly. On top of that a mirrorarray offers less performance)|d. Create a new full-text index and place it on the existing RAID-5 array.(The existing RAID array is sufficient, it merely requires indexingimproving read performance.)(There is nothing wrong with the existing array, just needs indexing)To optimize performance, dedicate separate physical drives for the logfiles of your storage groups. When each set of log files has its ownphysical drive, server performance improves. To optimize fault tolerance,use hardware mirroring with redundant array of independent drives RAID.Exchange 2000 Server can create and manage full-text indexes to enablefast searches and lookups. Earlier versions of Exchange search everymessage in every folder, so search times increase as databases expand.With full-text indexing, every word in a database is indexed, makingfaster searching possible. Indexing is a resource-intensive feature thattakes considerable CPU cycles. Indexing gigabytes of data can take hoursor days, providing another reason to use multiple small databases.18. You are the administrator of the Exchange sever in the Manufacturingdepartment for Widget.com. Your users often send emails with largeattachments exceeding 2 MB in size. The users in other three departmentsdo not require the service to send large attachments. You need toaccomplish the following:Manufacturing users must have no storage restrictions.All non-Manufacturing workers will be limited to 40 MB of storage.Production users must have a separate set of transaction logs.Manufacturing users must have access to email prior to other employees if theExchange server must be restored from backup.The Exchange server cannot run out of hard disk space.You do the following:Create a new storage group.Create a new Mail Store in the new storage group.Move all Manufacturing mailboxes to the new mailbox store.Set a maximum storage limit of 40 MB on the existing mailbox store.Which of the following results are met?a. Manufacturing users must have no storage restrictions.b. All non-Manufacturing workers will be limited to 40 MB of storage.c. Manufacturing users must have a separate set of transaction logs.d. Manufacturing users must have access to email prior to other employeesif the Exchange server must be restored from backup.e. The Exchange Server cannot run out of hard disk space.Ans: A, B, C, D|a. Manufacturing users must have no storage restrictions.(The storage restrictions are set on the existing store only)|b. All non-Manufacturing workers will be limited to 40 MB of storage.(Will be subject to the new storage limit as they are still in the oldstore that has the limit)|c. Manufacturing users must have a separate set of transaction logs.(A new storage group will contain information stores and a set oftransaction log files.)|d. Manufacturing users must have access to email prior to other employeesif the Exchange server must be restored from backup.(One of the principles behind multiple databases)|e. The Exchange Server cannot run out of hard disk space.The fact that the users are sending large mail is not relevant to thecontext of the question. Mail delivery restrictions and mail storage aredifferent issues. Not sure what a monitor store is, perhaps the name ofthe new mailbox store in the storage group. You can select the maximumsize of incoming and outgoing messages for mailbox-enabled users. You canselect default maximum size limits or you can set the maximum size limitof incoming and outgoing messages in kilobytes (KB). The default maximumsize limit of incoming messages is defined in the Global Settings node inExchange System Manager. On the mailbox itself, if a storage limit isexceeded, the mailbox-enabled user is warned or prohibited from sending orreceiving e-mail. This in itself does not control the size of the emailsbeing sent until the storage limit is reached. You can use the defaultstorage limits, or you can set your own storage limits. To specify themaximum amount of space that a mailbox can occupy before the user isprohibited from sending more messages, select the Prohibit send at (KB)check box, and then type the storage limit in the text box. Exchangesupports multiple databases (information stores) contained in storagegroups. A storage group contains one to six information stores and a setof transaction log files. Use multiple databases to: Create smallerdatabases that backup and restore faster than one large database. Usedifferent backup schedules for different sets of data. The storage groupis the best unit for backup because backing it up automatically includesthe transaction logs for all databases in the group.19. You are the administrator for six Exchange 2000 Servers. One serverhosts 1200 mailboxes located in two Mailbox Stores. The same server hostsUSENET newsgroups. The newsgroups are accessed by Outlook 98 and Outlook2000 clients. The newsgroups are replicated hourly. Because of the size ofthe newsgroups, you are having problems backing up the server. You want toperform backups without including newsgroup data. You want to prevent theaccumulation of transaction log files related to newsgroups. You mustmaintain transaction log files for the Mailbox Stores. How would this beaccomplished?a. Create a new public folder store and a new public folder tree. Directthe newsfeed to the new public folder tree and enable circular logging onthe mailbox storage group.b. Create a new NNTP virtual directory that uses the NTFS file system.Direct the newsfeed to the new virtual directory.c. Create a new storage group and move the public folder store to the newstorage group. Enable circular logging for the new storage group. Ensurethat internal public folder data is replicated to another server.d. Create a new public folder tree in the existing public folder store.Direct the newsfeed to the new public folder tree.Ans: C|a. Create a new public folder store and a new public folder tree. Directthe newsfeed to the new public folder tree and enable circular logging onthe mailbox storage group.(Circular logging on the mailbox storage group is never recommended)|b. Create a new NNTP virtual directory that uses the NTFS file system.Direct the newsfeed to the new virtual directory.(It will be nice andsecure, that's about it, a requirement for log files though)|c. Create a new storage group and move the public folder store to the newstorage group. Enable circular logging for the new storage group. Ensurethat internal public folder data is replicated to another server.(Circularlogging will reduce the size of the newsgroup transaction files, a newstorage group will generate a separate transaction file, the remainingstore will not have circular logging enabled and you will maintaintransaction log files for the Mailbox Stores as a result)|d. Create a new public folder tree in the existing public folder store.Direct the newsfeed to the new public folder tree.(Still part of the samepublic folder store hence same transaction log file)20.You administer an Exchange 2000 network for a company that has mandateda mailbox storage limit for all users in your company. After addinganother Exchange 2000 Server (ServerX2) to the network, it shortlycontains mailboxes that have exceeded the storage limit. What is requiredto be done to (ServerX) to enforce the existing storage limit?a. Configure a new Mailbox Store policy for the new server.b. Set storage limits on the existing Mailbox Store on the new server.c. Configure a new server policy and add the new server to the new policy.d. Add the default Mailbox Store on the new server to the Mailbox Storepolicy.Ans: D|a. Configure a new Mailbox Store policy for the new server. (Policies arenot limited to one sever. This option may work but is not necessary)|b. Set storage limits on the existing Mailbox Store on the newserver.(Storage limit settings offer less flexibility than a policy)|c. Configure a new server policy and add the new server to the newpolicy.(Two policies are not required)|d. Add the default Mailbox Store on the new server to the Mailbox Storepolicy.(The default mailbox store would be the first created. You have theoption to add any mailbox store located on any server and link it to thepolicy. Works on a similar principle to GPO's that can be linked to a siteor domain etc.)With a mailbox store policy, you can quickly apply general, database, andmessage limit properties to mailbox stores. You could then apply thosesettings to a group of servers without having to manually configure eachserver. Once you define a policy you can apply it to a set of objectsthroughout the org. There are 2 types of policies: system and recipient.Remember you need to enable the display of admin groups on the prop pageof the org.21. You have configured your network with three Windows 2000 servers. Oneof the servers is a member server that hosts Exchange 2000, and the othertwo servers are Windows 2000 domain controllers. Due to company expansionit is expected that several new users will be added to the company. Whatcan be done to ensure that the company network infrastructure can handlethe growth?a. Install Exchange 2000 Server on a new Windows 2000 Server and configurethe server to be a dedicated SMTP virtual server.b. Install Exchange 2000 Server on two new Windows 2000 Servers andconfigure them both as front-end servers (with load balancing).c. Install Exchange 2000 Server on both of the Windows 2000 domaincontrollers and configure both servers as mailbox servers.d. Install Exchange 2000 Server on a new Windows 2000 Server and configurethe server to be a mailbox server.Ans: D|a. Install Exchange 2000 Server on a new Windows 2000 Server and configurethe server to be a dedicated SMTP virtual server.(In most cases you shouldonly need one SMTP virtual server. However, if you are hosting multipledomains and want to have more than one default domain, for example, youcan create multiple SMTP virtual servers.)|b. Install Exchange 2000 Server on two new Windows 2000 Servers andconfigure them both as front-end servers (with load balancing).|c. Install Exchange 2000 Server on both of the Windows 2000 domaincontrollers and configure both servers as mailbox servers.(Separatemailbox servers?)More admin and extra load on boxes)|d. Install Exchange 2000 Server on a new Windows 2000 Server and configurethe server to be a mailbox server.(With the addition of additional users as the network grows, additionalload will be placed on the Domain Controllers for authentication, it wouldbe advisable to segregate the two. A separate exchange server would allowthe most available growth and load balance the DC's).22. You are the Exchange Administrator for your company and areresponsible for several Exchange 2000 Server computers in your network.The event logs for one of your servers display s several -1088 error messagesreporting transient faults when reading from the administration mailboxstore database. The users have not reported any problems connecting totheir mailboxes. This string of error messages occurs nearly everymorning. You need to resolve this problem without damaging the contents ofthe administration mailbox store. How would this be done?a. Repair and upgrade the disk subsystem hardware, and restore thedatabase files from backup.b. Dismount the administration mailbox store, and then run ESEUTIL/cc onthe database. Remount the mailbox store.c. Stop the information store service, and then manually truncate the logfiles for the database. Restart the Information Store service.d. Reinstall Exchange 2000 Server by running setup/disasterrecovery.Ans: AWhen Exchange Server asks for the hardware that reads the data from thedata base, it compares the page of data given back and to the checksum ofcalculated data with this number of page and the checksum that was put inthe page when this one was written. If a mutual incompatibility isdetected, an error -1018, Note is generated that this alert indicates thatsingle it has failed the verification. Due to the fact that error -1018indicates a probable problem in the subsystem of the hardware, thecomplete backups will not be carried out in Exchange Server while theseproblems exist. Nevertheless, Exchange Server will continue executingitself until it can investigate the cause of the alert.23.The current volume and content of public folders in your ExchangeServer environment contain thousands of documents. What should be done tomake finding specific documents easier and more efficient than what isavailable with the current implementation?a. Configure a Public Folder Store Policy and add the Public Folder Storeto the policy.b. Configure a Public Folder Store Policy and create a full text index onthe Public Folder Store.c. Configure a Public Folder Store Policy and set replication for thePublic Folder Store to always run.d. Create a new public folder tree, configure a public folder store policyin this tree and create a full index for the Public Folder Store.Ans: B|a) Configure a Public Folder Store Policy and add the Public Folder Storeto the policy.(Policies are not used to increase performance as a main purpose; insteadit is an option within the policy itself. Full-Text Indexing: scheduletimes for the index to be updated)|b) Configure a Public Folder Store Policy and create a full text index onthe Public Folder Store.(Exchange 2000 Server can create and manage full-text indexes to enablefast searches and lookups on the documents.)|c) Configure a Public Folder Store Policy and set replication for thePublic Folder Store to always run.(If finding a document is difficult, why replicate the difficulty to moreplaces on the network; there is also no mention of high network traffic)|d) Create a new public folder tree, configure a public folder store policyin this tree and create a full index for the Public Folder Store.(When you install Exchange, a default public folder hierarchy is created.All MAPI clients such as Microsoft Outlook can access this public folderhierarchy to read messages and store documents. You can create subfoldersto reflect the departments in your organization (trees). This helps youbetter organize the public folders but not specifically the documentstherein). Outlook clients will only be able to view the information in thedefault tree; they must then instead use web browsers or newsreaders. Atree may be a good idea, but not in this case)24. You install an Exchange 2000 Server at HQ, EX2 and each of yourcompany's two branch offices, EX3 and EX4. Research documents are storedin a public folder named Research. Many users frequently access theResearch folder, and you want to maximize efficiency of connection to thisfolder. You must minimize the amount of administrative effort required todistribute the documents. WAN links between HQ and branch offices are usedby applications throughout business hours. You must minimize WAN trafficcaused from access of the Research folder during business hours. Which ofthe following three actions must be completed?a. Create a public folder store on EX2, a public folder store on EX3, anda public folder store on EX4.b. Create a public folder tree on EX2, a public folder store on EX3, and apublic folder tree for EX4.c. Create an instance of Research in each of the public folder stores onEX2, EX3, and EX4.d. Create a public folder named Research in each of the public foldertrees for EX2, EX3, and EX4.e. Configure the Research folder to replicate between 8 PM and 4 AM.f. Configure the Research public folder to replicate every four hours.Ans: A, C, E|a. Create a public folder store on EX2, a public folder store on EX3, anda public folder store on EX4.(You require a location in which to place the folder and a replicationpoint to distribute the contents of the folder)|b. Create a public folder tree on EX2, a public folder store on EX3, and apublic folder tree for EX4.(A public folder tree is a hierarchy that forms the boundries of theentire set of public folders available in the organization.)|c. Create an instance of Research in each of the public folder stores onEX2, EX3, and EX4.(Need to add the folder to the store)|d. Create a public folder named Research in each of the public foldertrees for EX2, EX3, and EX4.(You can add a folder to a store not a tree)|e. Configure the Research folder to replicate between 8 PM and 4 AM.(Non business hours as required)|f. Configure the Research public folder to replicate every four hours.(Not during office hours)25. You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 network. You are requiredto configure various messaging client software programs and protocols foryour company. The company is divided into four divisions: Science,Experiments, Masters, and Researchers. Science users work mostly fromremote locations. You must accomplish the following:Science users must be able to access their email remotely through theInternet.Experiment users must be able to access the company public folders andcalendars.Master users must not be able access calendaring at any time.Research users must have access to the company public folders.The company users must have access to their personal mailboxes.You configure the software as follows:
ExhibitWhat is achieved?a. Science users must be able to access their email remotely through theInternet.b. Experiment users must not be able to access the company public foldersand calendars.c. Master users must not be able access calendaring at any time.d. Research users must have access to the company public folders.e. The company users must have access to their personal mailboxes.Ans: A, C, DWith Outlook Web Access, you can configure Microsoft Exchange 2000 Serverso that users can access e-mail, calendar information, sharedapplications, and any content in the public information store simply andefficiently using a web browser. (A)Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3)allows a client to retrieve a specific user's mail from the server. POP3clients can access only their server Inboxes and cannot access otherpublic or private folders. POP3 is not intended to provide fullmanipulation of mail on the server. Although messages can be left on theserver, mail is usually only downloaded and then deleted. POP3 does nothandle sending mail. (B) Internet Message Access Protocol version 4(IMAP4) allows a client to access messages in private and public folderson a server. Users with an IMAP4 client can access mail in their MicrosoftExchange 2000 Server mailbox without downloading the entire mailbox to aspecific computer.A single client can access multiple mailboxes to retrieve specificmessages or portions of a message, such as an attachment. IMAP4 clientscan also search a mailbox and store flags to identify messages that havebeen read. IMAP4 does not send mail . IRC is a client-server protocol thatsupports real-time conversation between two or more users over a TCP/IPnetwork. Since its development, IRC has become an Internet standard thatcurrently forms the basis of several worldwide chat networks. It does notoffer access to public folders or mailboxes, though you could have a goodchat about them. (B) (D) (E)Outlook offers support for personal calendar, scheduler, contacts managerand task manager and email program. Outlook is fully MAPI compliant. (C)26. You administer an Exchange environment that comprises two Windows NT 4.0Servers running Exchange 5.5. You are required to add a Windows 2000Server running Exchange 2000 to the network. You plan to have mailboxes onall Exchange servers. All Exchange mailboxes and user accounts must bemanaged from Active Directory Users and Computers. Changes made to ActiveDirectory must be replicated to the Exchange 5.5 servers. What must bedone to achieve this requirement?a. Upgrade one of the NT Servers to Windows 2000 and promote it to domaincontroller status. In Active Directory, create an Organizational Unit thathas the same name as the Exchange Server 5.5 site. Move all Exchange 5.5mailbox accounts to this OU.b. Create a one-way connection agreement between a NT 4 Server and the2000 server. Connect the agreement to the Recipients container in theexisting Exchange 5.5 Server site.c. Create a two-way connection agreement between the NT 4 Server and thenew 2000 server. Connect the agreement to the Recipients container in theexisting Exchange 5.5 Server site.d. Create an OU on the 2000 server with the same name as the ExchangeServer 5.5 site. Move the Exchange 5.5 user accounts to this OU and grantfull administrator permission of the OU to the Exchange 5.5 Server accountAns: B|a. Upgrade one of the NT Servers to Windows 2000 and promote it to domaincontroller status. In Active Directory, create an Organizational Unit thathas the same name as the Exchange Server 5.5 site. Move all Exchange 5.5mailbox accounts to this OU.(Several other steps are required to do the above)|b. Create a one-way connection agreement between a NT 4 Server and the2000 server. Connect the agreement to the Recipients container in theexisting Exchange 5.5 Server site.(See explanation)|c. Create a two-way connection agreement between the NT 4 Server and thenew 2000 server. Connect the agreement to the Recipients container in theexisting Exchange 5.5 Server site.(Two way would mean changes would then replicate back to the DC, not arequirement of the question)|d. Create an OU on the 2000 server with the same name as the ExchangeServer 5.5 site. Move the Exchange 5.5 user accounts to this OU and grantfull administrator permission of the OU to the Exchange 5.5 Server account(Exchange mailboxes and user accounts must be managed from the ActiveDirectory Users and Computers Console) dictates that the configurationmust occur from the W2K machine and replication must occur outwards.Exchange 2000 is the first release of Exchange that relies completely onthe directory provided by the operating system. Earlier versions ofExchange directory information was contained in a separate database(Dir.edb). Because of its new architecture, for Exchange 2000 to fullycoexist with earlier versions of Exchange, replication between ActiveDirectory and the legacy Exchange 5.5 directory must take place.Replication is coordinated by Active Directory Connector (ADC). TheExchange version enables you to synchronize Exchange site directory datawith the Exchange 2000 configuration data stored in Active Directory. Usethe Exchange version when establishing coexistence between Exchange 2000and Exchange 5.5. Connection Agreements act as a control mechanism forreplicating directory and configuration information between an Exchange5.5 server and Active Directory. You can configure each ConnectionAgreement to perform unique replication tasks; for example, one ConnectionAgreement can continuously update Active Directory, while anotherConnection Agreement can update Windows contacts to the Exchangedirectory. Auto-Generated Connection Agreements. This feature is designedto reduce the amount of ADC configuration that is needed when establishinguser Connection Agreements. Exchange automatically generates ConnectionAgreements between the Exchange 5.5 directory and Active Directory. Theseare created when you install Exchange 2000 in an existing Exchange 5.5organization. You can choose the direction of replication based on thedirectory management requirements of your organization. You can selectone-way or two-way replication. During one-way replication, directoryinformation is replicated from Exchange to Windows or from Windows toExchange. During two-way replication, directory information is replicatedto and from both directories.You must specify the location of the ActiveDirectory container or containers participating in the ConnectionAgreement. ADC uses object-matching rules to match up Active Directoryobjects with any objects that already exist within the entire Exchange 5.5organization.27. Your Exchange 2000 network comprises three Exchange 2000 Servers with1400 mailboxes each. Clients utilize Microsoft Outlook 2000 and MicrosoftOutlook Web Access. You have enabled SSL for the default Web site on allservers and require Outlook Web Access users to connect using HTTP/S.Users report email access has become very slow. What can be done toimprove server responsiveness, while still maintaining the securityprovided by SSL?a. Install an additional Exchange 2000 Server to support Secure HTTPusers, and configure it as a front-end server.b. Remove SSL and implement TLS on the SMTP and IMAP4 virtual servers.c. Install two additional Exchange 2000 Servers and move Outlook WebAccess to one of the new servers. Use the other server for load balancing.d. Specify Digest Authentication on the default Web site and disableIntegrated Web Authentication.e. Enable IPSec on all Exchange 2000 Servers.Ans: A|a. Install an additional Exchange 2000 Server to support Secure HTTPusers, and configure it as a front-end server.(See explanation)|b. Remove SSL and implement TLS on the SMTP and IMAP4 virtual servers.(You can require that all clients use Transport Layer Security (TLS)encryption, a generic security protocol similar to Secure Sockets Layer(SSL), to connect to an SMTP virtual server. This option secures theconnection, but it is not used for authentication.)|c. Install two additional Exchange 2000 Servers and move Outlook WebAccess to one of the new servers. Use the other server for load balancing|d. Specify Digest Authentication on the default Web site and disableIntegrated Web Authentication.(Consider using Digest authentication onlyif you intend to run Instant Messaging clients on operating systems otherthan Windows (such as UNIX), or if you require that clients be able toauthenticate to their home servers through an HTTP proxy.)|e. Enable IPSec on all Exchange 2000 Servers.The main benefits of a front-end/back-end architecture are a unifiednamespace and reduced overhead for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption.When connections are made using SSL, information is encrypted anddecrypted, which is processor intensive and can negatively affectperformance. If your HTTP virtual servers are deployed in afront-end/back-end configuration, the front-end server can process theencryption with the client. When the front-end server and back-end servercommunicate, they do so without the overhead of SSL encryption. Thisreduces the load on the back-end server.28.You administer a network for your company. The IT department has beendivided into two groups: Administrators and Techies. Due to the magnitudeif the company delegated authority has been mandated. Group membershipsare as follows:
ExhibitA member of the Techie Support team is attempting to install the firstExchange 2000 Server on the network. He/she cannot install the MicrosoftMessaging and Collaboration Services component and the installation fails.What should be done to allow him to install this component?a. Run setup /forestprep.b. Run setup /domainprep.c. Promote the Exchange server to be a domain controller in the existingdomain.d. Promote the Exchange server to be a domain controller in a new domain.Ans: A|a. Run setup /forestprep.|b. Run setup /domainprep.(Not required)|c. Promote the Exchange server to be a domain controller in the existingdomain.(The Exchange server doesnt yet exist and would not alone alter theschema, an installation on the root would)|d. Promote the Exchange server to be a domain controller in a new domain.(The Exchange server doesnt yet exist)Before installing exchange you need to prepare the forest and each domainto extend the schema to accommodate the Exchange format. Forest prep isrun once in the forest and domain prep must be run in each domain. Thiscomplicate routine is appropriate for networks with separateadministrative responsibilities. Once these tools have been run by therelevant admin, Administrators with lower privileges can then installExchange, as the permission required to change the schema is not needed.To run the forest prep tool you need to be part of the Schema admin andEnterprise admin group and be a local admin of the system. In this casethe Techies are part of the domain admin and can thus run the domain prepcomponent only.To elaborate on Messaging and Collaboration Services: Exchange relies onWindows 2000 services for access to system resources. To complete basicmessaging and collaboration functions, Exchange has its own services thatalso depend on Windows 2000 services; for example, to add a new mailboxstore to Information Store, IIS Admin Services and the Microsoft ExchangeSystem Attendant service must be running. You can use Exchange to providereal-time collaboration services for your users. Exchange provides InstantMessaging capabilities as well as Chat Service.29. As the Exchange administrator of your network you note that each timeyou create a new mailbox, you find that it does not appear in the GlobalAddress List for several hours. Users are complaining that they are unableto locate the new entries as required. How could you ensure that newobjects appear in the Global Address List within one hour?a. Configure the Recipient Update Service to run hourly.b. Create an additional Recipient Update Service on all Exchange Serversin the domain.c. Adjust the index update interval for the Mailbox Store so that indexingalways runs.d. Create a custom maintenance schedule for the mailbox so that MailboxStore maintenance runs hourly.Ans: A|a. Configure the Recipient Update Service to run hourly.(Provided the changes made do not take more than an hour to be generated)|b. Create an additional Recipient Update Service on all Exchange Serversin the domain.(Ideally, Recipient Update Service is run from an Exchange 2000 serverinstalled in the domain being serviced. Since installing an Exchange 2000server in each domain may not be possible, you must create a new RecipientUpdate Service for each domain that does not have an Exchange 2000 serverand does have recipients. For each Recipient Update Service thus created,an Exchange 2000 server from another domain is selected to run RecipientUpdate Service)|c. Adjust the index update interval for the Mailbox Store so that indexingalways runs.(Indexing is used for fast searching)|d. Create a custom maintenance schedule for the mailbox so that MailboxStore maintenance runs hourly.(Could not find a setting that would increase GAL updates in theproperties that could be scheduled for maintenance)The Update Now or Rebuild command would be a better choice!The RecipientUpdate Service ensures the accuracy of address list memberships byprocessing new address lists and updating modified address lists based ona schedule that you select or customize. During setup, Exchange 2000creates a Recipient Update Service for the domain. The first Exchange 2000server installed on the domain becomes the server responsible for updatingthe address lists for the domain. Exchange 2000 uses Recipient UpdateService to update Active Directory objects with address list membershipinformation. During an update interval, Recipient Update Service searchesand marks the Active Directory objects that match the filter rulesspecified for each address list You may select a pre-set update intervalor customize an address list update schedule. If you customize an addresslist update schedule, select update intervals that allow enough time foraddress list generation to complete before the next update begins. Forexample, if you specify three updates in a 24-hour period and it takesfour hours to update the address lists, there must be at least four hoursbetween each update. The default is every one minute, one would thusassume that in this case it has been set to 5 hrs.30. You are the administrator of the following network.

You can send a notification onlyif the server or connector enters a warning or critical state when any ofits monitors detect problems. You cannot send a notification if a specificserver monitor detects that a server resource is low. You can send ane-mail message to an administrator when a server or connector enters awarning state or critical state. The server and connector states are seton the Monitoring tab of a server or connector. The subject line and bodyof the e-mail message are automatically created; their content depends onwhich server is monitoring the servers and connectors in yourorganization, and which servers and connectors are being monitored.However, if problems exist between the monitoring server and the server orconnector being monitored, the message may not be delivered.31. Your company, BlackNet, acquires PCNet . A PCNet employee, Joe Peters,will require access to your network and would like to receive all emailsent to his jpeters@pcnet.com address. What should be done to have Jamesname appear in the Exchange 2000 address book, but have email only sent tohis PCNet.com email address?a. Create a user account that has no Exchange mailbox in Active Directory.Use the Exchange Task Wizard to assign an SMTP address forjpeters@pcnet.com.b. Create a user account that has no Exchange mailbox in Active Directory.Enter jpeters@pcnet.com as the email address on the General tab of theusers property sheet.c. Configure an existing user account and change the SMTP address on theEmail Address tab of the user's property sheet to jpeters@pcnet.com.d. Create an email-enabled contact object for Joe Peters and specify theSMTP address jpeters@pcnet.com as the email address in Active Directory.Ans: A|a. Create a user account that has no Exchange mailbox in Active Directory.Use the Exchange Task Wizard to assign an SMTP address forjpeters@pcnet.com.|b. Create a user account that has no Exchange mailbox in Active Directory.Enter jpeters@pcnet.com as the email address on the General tab of theusers property sheet.(Would allow you to enter the address but is linked to an internal whereasthe wizard allows you to establish an external address)|c.

Create an email-enabled contact object for Joe Peters and specify theSMTP address jpeters@pcnet.com as the email address in Active Directory.(And then assume he knows what account to log on with, Joe Peters, willrequire access to your network,)Joe is required to access the network and thus requires a user account. Auser account can be created without a mailbox on the Exchange server. Whencreating the account remove the tick box (create a exchange mailbox) Rightclick on Joe peters account and select exchange tasks, the wizard starts.Choose (Establish an email address), Modify, SMTP address and then enterthe required external address.32. You have configured your Exchange 2000 Server hard drives as follows:
ExhibitDuring business hours the users report slow performance when sending theiremails. What can be done to solve the performance issue?a. Move one of the Mailbox Stores to Disk 5.b. Set the full-text index file to always run for all three MailboxStores.c. Create a new Mailbox Store in a new storage group on Disk 5 and placethe transaction log on Disk 2. Move half of all mailboxes to the newMailbox Store.d. Create a new Mailbox Store and place the Mailbox Store files on Disk 5.Move half of all mailboxes to the new Mailbox Store.Ans: A|a. Move one of the Mailbox Stores to Disk 5.(Preferably store 1 or 2, to allow more fault tolerance incase of harddrive failure)|b. Set the full-text index file to always run for all three MailboxStores.(It is important to keep the full-text index current, but indexingconsumes system resourcesUpdateing occurs automatically but can be scheduled. You only have a tickbox to specify whether the idex is available or not. This is a serachperformance issue not a mail sending issue.)|c. Create a new Mailbox Store in a new storage group on Disk 5 and placethe transaction log on Disk 2. Move half of all mailboxes to the newMailbox Store.(It is advantageous to place the logs of each storage group on separatephysical disks, if possible)|d. Create a new Mailbox Store and place the Mailbox Store files on Disk 5.Move half of all mailboxes to the new Mailbox Store.(Possible but not the best answer as you still have 2 stores on disk 3,Vulnerable to failure and slower read write performance)Disks of transaction log files should not contain any Exchange databases.Furthermore, as ESE maintains separate transaction log files for eachstorage group, it is advantageous to place the logs of each storage groupon separate physical disks, if possible. Separate transaction log disksmay also improve the system performance because ESE threads can then writetransactions for separate storage groups to the transaction log filesconcurrently. At a minimum, distribute large numbers of mailboxes acrossmultiple mailbox stores in one storage group. Multiple information storescan bring you a performance gain, provided that you place theirtransaction logs and database files on separate physical disk systems.Full-text indexes and catalogs are not stored in the Information Store.Full-text indexing can be enabled per individual mailbox and public store.If you plan to implement heavyweight servers, you should split mailboxresources across multiple small databases. Exchange 2000 Server supportsmaintenance operations for individual databases without affecting otherstores. Small databases are more quickly restored. It is possible tocreate up to five stores in a single storage group and a total of fourstorage groups, which gives you the ability to create up to 20 informationstore databases.33. You are the Exchange Administrator for your company. The network isconfigured as shown:
ExhibitYou work at the Phoenix office. You need to be alerted when an emaildelivery between Phoenix and Mexico City is interrupted. What should you do?a. Add the SMTP queue to Growth Monitor to the status properties of EX1,and set the warning state to five minutes.b. Add the SMTP queue growth to the status properties of EX3, and set thecritical state to five minutes.c. Create a new Link Monitor, and add EX1 and EX2 as monitored servers.d. Create an email notification and set EX3 to monitor the routing groupconnection routing group A. Configure the email notification to send anemail message to your mailbox when this routing group connector enters adown state.e. Create an email notification, and set EX3 to monitor EX1. Configure theemail notification to send an email message to your mailbox when EX1enters a critical state.f. Add a mail message notification to the Link Monitor to send an e-mailmessage to your mailbox when a monitored server enters an alert state.Ans: E|a. Add the SMTP queue to Growth Monitor to the status properties of EX1,and set the warning state to five minutes.(Only monitors one side of the connection.)|b. Add the SMTP queue growth to the status properties of EX3, and set thecritical state to five minutes.(Only monitors one side of the connection.)|c. Create a new Link Monitor, and add EX1 and EX2 as monitored servers.(No notification has been stipulated)|d. Create an email notification and set EX3 to monitor the routing groupconnection routing group A. Configure the email notification to send anemail message to your mailbox when this routing group connector enters adown state.(It is important to note, however, that even if the routing group masteris down, all servers continue to operate with loop-free link state data.Does not focus on connection across WAN link)|e. Create an email notification, and set EX3 to monitor EX1. Configure theemail notification to send an email message to your mailbox when EX1enters a critical state.(Does not include EX2)|f. Add a mail message notification to the Link Monitor to send an e-mailmessage to your mailbox when a monitored server enters an alert state.(This option is poorly worded, it does however include the term When amonitored server indicating that you are monitoring multiple servers, onboth sides of the link. The choice of wording alert state is also veryloose. critical state would be better, still the best answer though)You can view the list of servers in your organization and their currentstatus to ensure that your servers are operating. You can also verify thatthe connectors you have established between servers are available totransmit messages. Note If you set warning and critical state thresholdsto monitor server resources, the server status will display a warning orcritical state icon if thresholds are met or exceeded. You can send ane-mail message to an administrator when a server or connector enters awarning state or critical state. The server and connector states are seton the Monitoring tab of a server or connector. The subject line and bodyof the e-mail message are automatically created; their content depends onwhich server is monitoring the servers and connectors in yourorganization, and which servers and connectors are being monitored.However, if problems exist between the monitoring server and the server orconnector being monitored, the message may not be delivered. If a SimpleMail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) queue grows continuously, e-mail is notleaving the queue and is not being delivered to another Exchange 2000server as fast as new messages arrive. This can be an indication ofnetwork or system problems. You can set a growth threshold for a warningstate or critical state, or you can set both thresholds. When a server ina routing group determines that the state of a connector assigned to ithas changed (gone up or down), it attempts to update the master's linkstate information with the new information. If the master is unavailable,it cannot update this information. The result is that servers in theorganization continue to operate with old (possibly incorrect) informationabout connectors in the routing group whose master is unavailable.Information about connectors in other routing groups continues to beupdated as the connectors go up and down, and even servers in the routinggroup with the failed master continue to receive information about thestate of other routing group as mail is transferred. The network operatesless efficiently when the master is down, and every reasonable attemptshould be made to make the master available to all servers in the routinggroup at all times. It is important to note, however, that even if therouting group master is down, all servers continue to operate withloop-free link state data. When a warning or critical state occurs on anyof the servers or connectors that you are monitoring, Exchange willautomatically send e-mail to one or more accounts34. You will be upgrading your companys exchange environment fromExchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000. During this process you are required toenable IM between the Managers and secretaries. You install an Instant Messagingserver and create an RVP virtual server on the Exchange 2000 Server. Nomailboxes have been moved as yet. What should be done to enable InstantMessaging between Managers and their secretaries?a. Use the Active Directory Users and Computers Console to move Managersand their secretaries mailboxes from Exchange 5.5 Server computers to theExchange 2000 computer.b. Use the Active Directory Users and Computers Console to enable InstantMessaging for Managers and their secretaries. Specify the Exchange 2000 Servercomputer as their messaging home server.c. Install the Chat service on the Exchange 5.5 Server. Use the ActiveDirectory Users and Computers Console to specify the Exchange 5.5 Serveras the Internet Locator Service (ILS) server.d. Install ILS on the Exchange 5.5 Server computer that hosts Managers andtheir secretaries mailboxes. Use Exchange Administrator to configure theILS parameters for each of the mailboxes to point to the Exchange 5.5 ILSserver.Ans: B|a) Use the Active Directory Users and Computers Console to move Managersand their secretaries' mailboxes from Exchange 5.5 Server computers to theExchange 2000 computer.(Mailboxes not required)|b) Use the Active Directory Users and Computers Console to enable InstantMessaging Managers and their secretaries. Specify the Exchange 2000 Servercomputer as their messaging home server.|c) Install the Chat service on the Exchange 5.5 Server. Use the ActiveDirectory Users and Computers Console to specify the Exchange 5.5 Serveras the Internet Locator Service (ILS) server.|d) Install ILS on the Exchange 5.5 Server computer that hosts Managers andtheir secretaries' mailboxes. Use Exchange Administrator to configure theILS parameters for each of the mailboxes to point to the Exchange 5.5 ILSserver.(Mailboxes are not a requirement for IM)Instant Messaging requires Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and InternetInformation Services (IIS) 5.0. It is not necessary to run Exchange 2000Server on the same computer. However, you must have installed Exchange2000 Server on at least one server in your organization to prepare theActive Directory forest. Each Instant Messaging domain contains at leastone home server, which hosts the IM accounts of users and maintains theirstatus information. The home server communicates directly with IM clientsvia RVP. To install Instant Messaging, you need to launch the Exchange2000 Setup program. ILS stores information about each user, includingtheir Internet Protocol (IP) address. This enables your online users tofind each other. ILS Server, type the name of the server to which themail-enabled user or contact is connected. Instant Messaging is based onthe RVP protocol. RVP, developed by Microsoft, uses an open, distributedmodel that enables developers to create interoperable client and serversolutions that make Instant Messaging compatible with different products,platforms, and vendors. If you plan to create only one Instant Messagingserver, it must be a home server. To authenticate users, Instant Messaginguses the same password as Windows 2000 Server. An Exchange mailbox is notrequired to use Instant Messaging.35. You are the administrator of multiple Exchange 2000 Servers in yourcompany. All the servers supports thousands of mailboxes and there are atotal of five mailbox stores located in two storage groups. You have madeno changes to the default settings on any of the servers. You havescheduled backups to occur between 4 AM and 8 AM. The companys earlymorning users report slow performance between 1 AM and 3 AM. What can bedone to solve this issue?a. Configure full-text indexing to use less system resources.b) Schedule tape backups to back up each of the mailbox stores atdifferent times across a wider interval of time.c) Configure the warning interval of each of the mailbox stores so thatwarnings run on a custom schedule.d) Configure the maintenance interval of each of the mailbox stores sothat maintenance is staggered across a wider interval of time.Ans: D|a. Configure full-text indexing to use less system resources.(Is a onceoff problem during population)?|b) Schedule tape backups to back up each of the mailbox stores atdifferent times across a wider interval of time.(Backups occur in aninterval outside the reported problem times)|c) Configure the warning interval of each of the mailbox stores so thatwarnings run on a custom schedule.(Will not improve performance)|d) Configure the maintenance interval of each of the mailbox stores sothat maintenance is staggered across a wider interval of time.(If thesettings are default, it occurs between 1 and 5 AM, right during theproblem time)Indexing is a resource-intensive feature that requires considerable CPUcycles. Indexing gigabytes of data can take hours or days. Indexing shouldbe scheduled for times when the server is not under high usage. You cancontrol server performance during indexing by using the System resourceusage tab. On this tab you can set server usage levels, regardless of thequantity of data to be indexed or the existing server load. Updateschedules are not configured by default. And must be manually changed.Indexes must update regularly to reflect the latest data. To automaticallyindex your public folder stores and mailbox stores, use the Full-TextIndexing tab for each information store. Maintenance of the store refersto the cleaning up of the database not indexing36.The Windows 2000 Exchange Server environment supports two storagegroups, each storage group containing four Mailbox Stores allocated to aspecific department in the company. All storage limits are assigned byusing a single Mailbox Store Policy. You are required to change thestorage limits of the engineering department only. How would this be achieved?a. Change the mailbox storage limits on the existing Mailbox Store Policyto specify the increased storage limits for the required departmentsMailbox Store.b. Use the Active Directory Users and Computers Console to modify themailbox storage limits on each of the mailboxes.c. Assign your user account Full Control permission to the server policythat affects your Exchange Server and change the mailbox storage limits.d. Create a new mailbox store policy that separates the increased storagelimits, and assign that policy to the engineering departments mailboxstore.Ans: D|a. Change the mailbox storage limits on the existing Mailbox Store Policyto specify the increased storage limits for the required departmentsMailbox Store.(All departments would be affected by the change)|b. Use the Active Directory Users and Computers Console to modify themailbox storage limits on each of the mailboxes.(To admin intensive and not recommended)|c. Assign your user account Full Control permission to the server policythat affects your Exchange Server and change the mailbox storage limits.(Not appropriate)|d. Create a new mailbox store policy that separates the increased storagelimits, and assign that policy to the engineering department's mailboxstore.(For two distinct settings, an additional policy would be required)You are able to determine who is affected by the policy buy adding orremoving them accordingly. Multiple objects in the same policy cannot havedifferent settings. Changing a setting in a policy effects all theassociated objects. The fastest method would be to copy the policy andthen make the changes.37. You are the Exchange Administrator for your company. Your network isdivided into two locations. One location , Texas houses EX1, the otherlocation Minneapolis, houses EX2. Your Exchange 2000 Server computers areconnected Users in Minneapolis report slow access when loading from theorganizational forms library on EX1. You need to maximize access speed forthe users in Minneapolis. What should you do?a. Create a public folder store on EX2, and replicate the organizationalforms to EX2.b. Create a public folder store on EX2, and copy the organizational formsto a public folder.c. Upgrade the WAN link to a T1 line, and decrease the cost property ofthe routing group connector.d. Upgrade the WAN link to a T1 line, and increase the cost property ofthe routing group connector.Ans: A|a. Create a public folder store on EX2, and replicate the organizationalforms to EX2.|b. Create a public folder store on EX2, and copy the organizational formsto a public folder.(Contents will become out of date as you have not specified replication)|c. Upgrade the WAN link to a T1 line, and decrease the cost property ofthe routing group connector.(The Wan link may improve access but is not the best answer. Local accessalso offers fault tolerance)|d. Upgrade the WAN link to a T1 line, and increase the cost property ofthe routing group connector. (The Wan link may improve access but is notthe best answer. Local access also offers fault tolerance)There are many ways to customize replication. You can create copies ofspecific public folders or you can replicate the entire public folderhierarchy. You can also change schedules, specify how urgent replicationmessages are sent, and manage replication between organizations. Anorganization's forms library is a repository for forms commonly accessedby all users in a company. Forms enable users to enter and viewinformation. For example, a standard supply request form can be stored inan organization form library. You can create forms from System Manager orfrom an Exchange client. After a form is created it is saved in theOrganizational Forms Library. You can use the system folders to createlibraries for other languages, set permissions for libraries, andreplicate form libraries in your organization library.38.You are the administrator of you companys network. Your Exchangeserver houses 50000 mailboxes. Due to the volume of mailboxes Team Leadersreport difficulty when searching the Global Address Book for all employeeswithin their own departments. What should be done to allow team leaders tosee a list of all employees within their own department? These lists mustonly be available to supervisors.a. Create a Global Address List for each department. List the members ofeach department. Grant the Team Leaders group read permission to the listand remove the Read permission from the Authenticated Users group.b. Create a Global Address List for each department and limit the scope ofeach list to only the members of that department. Grant the Team Leadersgroup Read permission to the list and deny the Authenticated Users groupRead permission.c. Create an address list for each department and limit the scope of eachaddress list to only the members of that department. Grant the TeamLeaders group Read permission to the list and remove the Read permissionfrom the Authenticated Users group.d. Create an OU for each department and move the users from departmentsinto their respective OU's. Grant the Team Leaders group Read permissionto the OU and deny the Authenticated Users group the Read permissionAns: CYou can organize your address lists so that your users can quickly findthe address list they need for addressing e-mail messages, selectingconference rooms, or finding information (such as e-mail addresses, phonenumbers, or pager numbers) for any recipient. To help your userseffectively access the information they need, organize your address listsin a hierarchy of nested address lists and empty address lists. A nestedaddress list is an address list located under another address list. Bydefault, your Exchange users can access all address lists. If you want torestrict access to a particular address list, you can change permissionsfor address list members. To grant a recipient access to the address list,in Name, select a recipient. In Permissions, next to Read permissions,select the Allow check box. To deny a recipient access to the addresslist, in Name, select a recipient. In Permissions, next to ReadPermissions; click to clear the Allow check box. A global address listcontains a list of all recipients etc. for the entire organization, andthere should be no requirement for more than one although it is possibleto create more than the default GAL. The purpose of the GAL is for globalsearches, not specific departments. Exchange 2000 address lists enableyour users to address e-mail messages, choose meeting attendees, look uplocations and phone numbers of others in your organization, and so on.Your users can access address lists containing relevant subsets ofExchange recipient and resource objects without looking through the entireGAL.39.You are the administrator of your companys exchange division. You areresponsible for three Exchange Servers: EXCHANGE1, EXCHANGE2 andEXCHANGE3. You are implementing a disaster recovery plan that must meetthe following requirements:Backups of all database files must be performed only on weekends.Daily backups of EXCHANGE1 must include only information that was changedin the given day.Restoring EXCHANGE2 near the end of the week must be performed with aslittle administrative effort as possible. Backing up EXCHANGE3 must not truncate transaction log files during daily backup.Backup Types:Incremental - IDifferential - DCopy - CNormal -NYou perform the following the type of backup to on each server.Servers:EXCHANGE1 - IEXCHANGE2 - DEXCHANGE3 - DA. Backups of all database files must be performed only on weekends.(Normal)B. Daily backups of Exchange1 must include only information that was changed in thegiven day.(Incremental)C. Restoring Exchange2 near the end of the week must be performed with as littleadministrative effort as possible.(Differential)D. Backing up Exchange3 must not truncate transaction log files during daily backup(Differential)Ans:  B, C, DNormal. A normal backup, also called a full backup, archives everyselected database and all necessary log files. If you perform a fullbackup daily, you prevent log files from monopolizing space on the harddisk. This is the recommended method for backups. Copy. A copy backup,also called a Daily backup, is the same as a full backup except that logfiles are not deleted. You can create a copy backup if you want to take asnapshot of the database at a certain time. Copy backups are recommendedif you are planning to install new software or implement a system change.Differential. A differential backup only archives the transaction logfiles that have changed since the last full backup. Transaction logs arenot deleted. To restore data from a differential backup, you must have thelast full backup and the most recent differential backup. This is thesecond fastest restore process after a full backup. Incremental. Anincremental backup only archives the transaction log files since the lastfull or incremental backup. You cannot use this type of backup whencircular logging is enabled. To restore data from an incremental backup,you must have the last full backup and each subsequent incremental backup.Once the restore process is complete, the transaction logs are applied tothe Exchange database that you restored with the full backup. The type ofbackup you should use varies depending on the importance of the data beingstored. Each type of backup has advantages and disadvantages in terms ofdata storage, performance, and time requirements. A normal daily backuphas become the most popular of late due to the improvement in backupspeeds, but does not suit the question.40.You are the administrator of the Exchange server. The Information StoreService stops and the Mailbox Store shuts down dirty. The header of thedatabase indicates that the database is in an inconsistent state. Howwould you bring the Mailbox Store to an online state without damaging theexisting Store database?a. Run ESEUTIL /D on the database, then mount the Mailbox Store.b. Run ESEUTIL /P on the database, then mount the Mailbox Store.c. Restart the Information Store Service within Server Administrator andthen mount the Mailbox Store.d. Delete the transaction log files and then restart the Information StoreService.e. Run ISINTG /fix to check integrity and run ESEUTIL /r for a softrecoveryAns: C|a. Run ESEUTIL /D on the database, then mount the Mailbox Store.(Part of the process to compact databases and check the integrity)|b. Run ESEUTIL /P on the database, then mount the Mailbox Store.(If all your recent backups cannot be used, you will have to fixcorruption using ESEUTIL.EXE with the /p switch. It is important to notethat the repair is performed at the level of the ESE, which is below theInformation Store. While corrupted pages are fixed and purged, thedatabase is returned to a consistent state, but this does not mean that itstill contains all the data that the Information Store needs to operateaccurately. Hence, after running ESEUTIL.EXE, you must check the databasesat the Information Store level using ISINTEG.EXE as well)|c. Restart the Information Store Service within Server Administrator andthen mount the Mailbox Store.(You are asked to bring it back online only,not repair it)|d. Delete the transaction log files and then restart the Information StoreService.(Would need to restore the transaction files from backup and this choicedamages the database as per question)|e. Run ISINTG /fix to check integrity and run ESEUTIL /r for a softrecovery(ISINTG would then fix problems not check integrity. If you experienceInformation Store problems, you can use ESEUTIL.EXE with the /g switch toverify database integrity. If you discover a corrupted database, you mayattempt to fix the problem. However, you should first reboot the serverbecause soft recovery, which is launched during the server startup, mightautomatically correct the inconsistency.)Likewise, if you have a recent backup available, you should not attempt tofix corruption manually. User data may be lost because the repair worksthis way: An integrity check is performed to find corrupted pages andtheir corresponding tables. ESEUTIL.EXE will attempt to repair corruptedtables, but pages (that is, data) that cannot be fixed are purged and cantherefore no longer be found in the database. The Information StoreIntegrity utility (Isinteg) can find and eliminate database errors andproblems in high-level data structures. ISINTEG.EXE can be found in theProgram FilesExchsrvrBin directory. By default, this utility does notcorrect any corruption; it checks only for table damage, incorrectreference counters, and nonreferenced items. To fix problems, you mustspecify the -fix option at the command line. ISINTEG.EXE writes detailsabout tests and correction processes to a log file.41. You are the Exchange administrator for Litianium, Inc. An employeenamed Tim Simon reports that e-mail message that he sent to an externalmail account has not been received. The message was sent more than 30minutes ago to Jim Bean at Parnelly Aerospace. You examine the SMTP queueson your Exchange 2000 server computer and find 80 messages in the queue.You need to expedite the delivery of the e-mail message from Tim Simon toJim Bean. What should you do?a. Freeze all the messages in the litware.com SMTP link queue.Create a custom filter to unfreeze all messages to Jim Bean.b. Freeze all messages in the parnellaerospace.com SMTP link queue.Create a custom filter to unfreeze all messages to Jim Bean.c. Configure a new SMTP virtual server.Set the relay restrictions to allow all computers to relay messagesthrough the new SMTP virtual server.d. Configure a new SMTP virtual server.Set the relay restrictions to prevent all computers from relaying messagesthrough the new SMTP virtual server.Ans: BFreezing a message is a way to keep a message from leaving a queue. Youcan freeze an entire queue, or you can freeze individual messages. Withthe custom message filter, you can also freeze an entire set of messageswith similar characteristics. Frozen messages remain in a queue until theyare unfrozen. When you freeze an entire queue, all messages that arecurrently in a queue will not be delivered. Frozen queues can continue toaccept messages, but the messages won't be delivered until the queue isunfrozen. The messages inside a frozen queue will not be in a frozen statethemselves. To maintain optimum message flow in your Exchangeorganization, freezing and unfreezing messages is a useful Queue Viewerfeature. Freezing one or more messages in a given queue, for example,allows your server to transport the messages that are not frozen. Oncethese messages have been transported, then you can unfreeze the othermessages. Use the following options to specify the criteria that you wantto use for message selection. You can select a combination of all messagesof a certain size, older than a certain time, from a specific originator,or to a specific recipient.42. One of three Exchange 2000 Servers hard disks fail. You have anonline backup of the databases on the server. You replace the hard driveand restart Windows 2000 Server. You must restore the Exchange Serversconfiguration from Active Directory and restore the mailbox and PublicFolder Store data. What should be done before mounting the database?a. Run setup /domainprep. Restore the online backup and run ISINTEG -patch.b. Run setup /disasterrecovery. Restore the databases from the onlinebackup and run ISINTEG -patch.c. Run setup /domainprep. Restore the databases from the online backup andselect the "Last Restore Set" check box.d. Run setup /disasterrecovery. Restore the databases from the onlinebackup and select the "Last Restore Set" check box.Ans: D|a. Run setup /domainprep. Restore the online backup and run ISINTEG -patch.(Domainprep is used to prepare a domain with the required shema for aninstallation of Exchange.)|b. Run setup /disasterrecovery. Restore the databases from the onlinebackup and run ISINTEG -patch.(Used when the information store service will not start after a restore.Exchange 2000 no longer uses the -patch switch. This procedure isperformed automatically when the Messaging database starts)|c. Run setup /domainprep. Restore the databases from the online backup andselect the "Last Restore Set" check box.(Domainprep is used to prepare a domain with the required shema for aninstallation of Exchange.)|d. Run setup /disasterrecovery. Restore the databases from the onlinebackup and select the "Last Restore Set" check box.Setup /DisasterRecovery will reconfigure the local server, includingprogram files, registry settings, and database paths based on theconfiguration information still available in Active Directory. The oldserver object must still exist in the Exchange 2000 Server configuration.When running Setup /DisasterRecovery, make sure all the components thatwere previously installed on the server are marked for disaster recoveryon the Component Selection wizard screen. You can restore databases onlineafter the disaster recovery. Last restore set to start log file replayafter restoring the database. This will begin rebuilding the databaseafter the restore. The database is not mounted by default so you will beable to restore it.43. You are the administrator of the following Exchange environment:Headquarters(Exchange1)(First storage group)(Mailbox store)(Public folder store)Branch1(Exchange3) (First storage group)(Mailbox store)Branch2(Exchange4)(First Storage group)(Mailbox store)Branch3(Exchange2)(First Storage group)(Mailbox store)Web related configuration changes are made to the metabase on Exchange1.These changes corrupt the metabase and you now cannot make configurationchanges to virtual servers within System Manager. You have a backup fromthe previous night prior to these changes. How can the metabase berestored?a. In Internet Services Manager, perform the Check Server Extensions Taskon Exchange1.b. In Windows Backup, restore the System State Data.c. In Windows Backup, restore the contents of the InetPub folder.d. Reinstall IIS on Exchange1.Ans: B|a. In Internet Services Manager, perform the Check Server Extensions Taskon Exchange1.(Determines whether the roots or metabase settings are correct and up todate, but does not fix them)|b. In Windows Backup, restore the System State Data.(See explanation)|c. In Windows Backup, restore the contents of the InetPub folder.(Does nothouse the entire metabase)|d. Reinstall IIS on Exchange1.Configuration data includes settings related to administrative groups,servers, security settings, and virtual server settings. Configurationdata resides in Windows 2000 Active Directory, and the Windows 2000registry. The system state contains the registry, the IIS, metabase andCOM+ registrations. Important. The reason for this rule is that Exchangestores HTTP virtual server settings in Active Directory Service and IISstores its settings in a local configuration file called the metabase. TheHTTP server settings in Exchange are periodically written from theDirectory Service to the IIS metabase. The settings that you can modify inSystem Manager are copied into the metabase and will overwrite any changesmade using IIS. Occasionally, an author might not be able to upload webcontent, modify the web directly on the server computer, or perform otherauthoring functions that are supported by the FrontPage Server Extensions.The cause of the problem can range from accidentally deleting or renamingessential files to corrupting. To fix many authoring-time problems, youcan use the Check Server Extensions.44.You administer an Exchange 2000 Server that has a single storage groupand three Mailbox Stores and a Public Folder Store. You alternate nightlybackups between a normal backup of two of the Mailbox Stores on one nightand a normal backup of the other Mailbox Store and Public Folder Store thenext night. The transaction log files are not being purged, and are nowusing nearly all the available disk space. You are required to solve theissue. Identify the required step.a. Disable circular logging.b. Install a new hard disk and move the transaction log files to the newdisk.c. Perform nightly incremental backups of the entire Storage Group inaddition to the current backups.d. Perform differential backups of the Mailbox Stores and the PublicFolder Store instead of normal backupsAns: C|a. Disable circular logging.(If circular logging were enabled hard drivespace would not be an issue)|b. Install a new hard disk and move the transaction log files to the newdisk.(Databases in the same storage group share transaction log files.)|c. Perform nightly incremental backups of the entire Storage Group inaddition to the current backups.(The key is the entire storage group andnot bits and pieces of the storage group that would cause the transactionlog to never be set as backed up)|d. Perform differential backups of the Mailbox Stores and the PublicFolder Store instead of normal backups(Transaction logs are not deleted)Normal. A normal backup, also called a full backup, archives everyselected database and all necessary log files. If you perform a fullbackup daily, you prevent log files from monopolizing space on the harddisk. This is the recommended method for backups. Incremental. Anincremental backup only archives the transaction log files since the lastfull or incremental backup. You cannot use this type of backup whencircular logging is enabled Differential. A differential backup onlyarchives the transaction log files that have changed since the last fullbackup. Transaction logs are not deleted.In the standard transaction logging used by Exchange, each databasetransaction in a storage group is written to a log file and then to thedatabases. When a log file reaches 5 MB, it is renamed and a new log fileis started. As the number of transactions grow, a set of log files iscreated. If a database fails, the transactions can be recovered byrestoring the data from the log files. Circular logging overwrites andreuses the first log file after the data it contains has been written tothe database. Circular logging is disabled by default. By enablingcircular logging, you reduce drive storage space requirements. However,without complete transaction log files, you cannot recover anything morerecent than the last full backup. Therefore, in a normal productionenvironment, circular logging is not recommended. If you enable circularlogging, you can restore data only up to the last backup. You cannotrestore data from the last backup to the point of the failure because therequired log files are not available. Databases in the same storage groupshare transaction log files.45. You are the Exchange Administrator for your companys Windows 2000network. Your email environment consists of one Exchange 2000 Servercomputer. You need to configure the Exchange environment to be able tosend digitally signed email messages for your users. How would this beaccomplished?a. Install a new Windows 2000 Server computer dedicated to issuing digitalsignatures. Configure key management service during the installation ofExchange 2000 Server.b. Install and configure an enterprise certificate authority. Install keymanagement service on the existing mailbox server.c. Install and configure an enterprise certificate authority. Configure anSSL server certificate by using Internet Services Manager.d. Install a new Exchange 2000 Server computer dedicated to issuingdigital signatures. Configure the digital certificates by using InternetServices Manager.Ans: B|a. Install a new Windows 2000 Server computer dedicated to issuing digitalsignatures. Configure key management service during the installation ofExchange 2000 Server.(An additional server is not required)|b. Install and configure an enterprise certificate authority. Install keymanagement service on the existing mailbox server.(See explanation)|c. Install and configure an enterprise certificate authority. Configure anSSL server certificate by using Internet Services Manager.(In System Manager, there are two components within the Advanced Securityobject: Encryption Configuration and Key Manager.)|d. Install a new Exchange 2000 Server computer dedicated to issuingdigital signatures. Configure the digital certificates by using InternetServices Manager.(See C)A certificate is an electronic credential that authenticates the identityof users and computers. Certificates are issued by a CA. The CA forExchange Advanced Security is Certificate Services. KMS must use Windows2000 Certificate Services as its CA. However, if your organization uses athird-party CA, Certificate Services can act as a subordinate to that CA.Your internally generated certificates will be trusted outside of yourorganization Once KMS has been installed in your organization, you mustadd the Key Management server account to every Certificate Services serverthat will be issuing certificates to KMS. Then you must assign the KeyManagement server manage permissions on the Certificate Services server.An enterprise certification authority offers different types ofcertificates to a requester based on the certificates it is configured toissue as well as the security permissions of the requester. An enterprisecertification authority uses information available in Active Directory tohelp verify the requester's identity. An enterprise certificationauthority publishes its certificate revocation list to Active Directory aswell as to a shared directory. Enterprise CAs in Windows 2000 use aperson's Windows 2000 user account credentials as proof of identity. Inother words, if you are logged on to a Windows 2000 domain and request acertificate from an enterprise CA, the CA knows that you are who ActiveDirectory says you are.46. You are the administrator for your companys Exchange servers and arerequired to implement a backup and recovery strategy. There are 3 Exchange2000 Servers: EX1, EX2, and EX3. Each server hosts three databases. Youplan to use a single backup for each storage group.Your solution must meetthe following goals in the event of a failure:You must be able to restore the database on EX1 and EX2 to the state thatexisted one minute prior to the failure.You must be able to restore alldatabases on EX3 simultaneously.Which of the following strategies should be executed?a. Create one storage group on each server to contain the databases.Enable circular logging on EX1 and EX2. Create a full-text index for thedatabases on EX3.b. Create one storage group on EX1 and EX2 to contain the databases.Create a storage group for each database on EX3. Disable circular loggingon EX1 and EX2.c. Create one storage group on EX3 to contain the databases. Create astorage group for each database on EX1 and EX2. Disable circular loggingon EX3.d. Create one storage group on EX3 to contain the databases. Create astorage group for each database on EX1 and EX2. Create a full-text indexfor the databases on EX3. Enable circular logging on EX3.Ans: C|a. Create one storage group on each server to contain the databases.Enable circular logging on EX1 and EX2. Create a full-text index for thedatabases on EX3.(Full-text index is for searching, cannot recover anything more recentthan the last full backup, You cannot restore data from the last backup tothe point of the failure because the required log files are notavailable.)|b. Create one storage group on EX1 and EX2 to contain the databases.Create a storage group for each database on EX3. Disable circular loggingon EX1 and EX2.(The only way to restore 3 databases simultaneously on 3 is to configurethem as the same storage group)|c. Create one storage group on EX3 to contain the databases. Create astorage group for each database on EX1 and EX2. Disable circular loggingon EX3.(The only way to restore simultaneously is to group the data into the samestorage group. This will result in the sharing of the same transactionlog. As circular logging is disabled by default it is not a requirementfor 1 and 2 or even 3 for that matter. "You plan to use a single backupfor each storage group.")|d. Create one storage group on EX3 to contain the databases. Create astorage group for each database on EX1 and EX2. Create a full-text indexfor the databases on EX3. Enable circular logging on EX3.(Enable circular logging for the storage groups that you do not need toback up only)Circular logging overwrites and reuses the first log file after the datait contains has been written to the database. Circular logging is disabledby default. By enabling circular logging, you reduce drive storage spacerequirements. However, without complete transaction log files, you cannotrecover anything more recent than the last full backup. Furthermoremultiple databases as in one storage group would consume. You can selectmultiple databases at once to back up. Backup will save the databases oneafter another. You cannot have multiple instances of Backup running andtry to create backups of multiple databases within the same storage group.You can use multiple databases to increase the number of simultaneoususers on a server and lessen the risk of a damaged database. Because thesize of each database is decreased, data recovery is faster and does notrequire the server to be offline.47. A former employee has deleted several messages from her email boxbefore seeking employment elsewhere. Some of the messages containedimportant attachments. There is an online backup created the day prior tothe deletion and an offline backup created two weeks prior. The deletedemails are to be recovered with minimal impact on other users?a. Within System Manager, dismount the database containing the mailbox andrestore the appropriate database from the online backup. Remount thedatabase.b. Install Exchange 2000 Server in an isolated forest. Stop theInformation Store Service and restore the appropriate EDB file. RunESEUTIL /CM and restart the Information Store Service.c. Install Exchange 2000 Server in an isolated forest. In the SystemManager of the new installation, dismount the database and restore theappropriate database from the online backup. Remount the database.d. Stop the Information Store Service and restore the appropriate EDBfile. Run ISINTEG -patch. Restart the Information Store Service.Ans: C|a) Within System Manager, dismount the database containing the mailbox andrestore the appropriate database from the online backup. Remount thedatabase.(Dismounting the store will impact other users needing access during therestoration, must use the last successful backup)|b) Install Exchange 2000 Server in an isolated forest. Stop theInformation Store Service and restore the appropriate EDB file. RunESEUTIL /CM and restart the Information Store Service.(Stopping the service is no longer a requirement)|c) Install Exchange 2000 Server in an isolated forest. In the SystemManager of the new installation, dismount the database and restore theappropriate database from the online backup. Remount the database.(This is the only option that will not disrupt the other users. You couldthen export the data at a later stage or forward it)|d) Stop the Information Store Service and restore the appropriate EDBfile. Run ISINTEG -patch. Restart the Information Store Service.(Stopping the service is no longer a requirement and patch is for 5.5)There is a remarkable difference in restoring deleted mail and a deletedmailbox. I am assuming the user has left the company and the mailbox hasbeen removed as per the options in the question or the deleted itemretention time for emails is at defaul
