What service can be installed to replace the Indexing Service in Windows Server 2016 to
provide faster file searching?
✔️: Windows Search Service
What is a domain, and how does it affect computers and users that are members of the
domain?
✔️: A domain is a grouping of network objects, such as computers, servers, and user
accounts, that provides for centralized management. Computers and users in a domain can be
managed to determine what resources they can access, such as printers and shared folders. A
domain is given a name, such as Microsoft.com for Microsoft. In addition, computers within
a domain are given a unique name, which often parallels the name of a user, such as Brown,
or is a favorite name or word, such as antelope or popcorn.
What mode does the operating system kernel run in, that protects it from problems created by
malfunctioning programs and processes?
✔️: privileged mode
,What statement regarding the use of Windows Server Core is accurate?
✔️: Server Core allows the ability to open the Notepad screen editor for editing files
The Class A network is defined by what subnet mask?
✔️: 255.0.0.0
What is the IP address that is assigned to the network loopback interface?
✔️: 127.0.0.1
What is POSIX, and what affect does the NTFS support for the POSIX.1 standard have on
the file system?
✔️: POSIX is a set of standards designed to enable portability of applications from one
computer system to another and has been used particularly for UNIX and Linux systems.
NTFS follows the POSIX.1 standard, which includes case-sensitive filenames and the use of
multiple filenames (called hard links). For example, the files Myfile.doc and MYFile.doc are
considered different files (except when using Windows Explorer or the Command Prompt
window).
How does the Windows Deployment Service utilize the Preboot Execution
✔️: Windows Deployment Services operate in a Preboot Execution Environment (PXE).
This means that the target computer on which to install the operating system already has
,software to be PXE-enabled. A PXE-enabled client can connect to the network and
communicate with a server (or boot from the server) without first having to boot from an
operating system on the client's hard disk. This environment is then used to deploy Windows
operating systems.
Disk errors and file system corruption that occurs within ReFS can be repaired more quickly
in NTFS
✔️: True
What version of Windows Server 2016 can be used to share the same physical computer
through each person connecting a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to a USB hub that connects
to the server?
✔️: Windows Server 2016 Multipoint Premium Server
What enables Linux clients to access a Linux virtual machine in Hyper-V?
✔️: Linux Integration Services (LIS)
Match each item with a statement below.
✔️: Tools and documentation targeted to help you use and customize a specific Windows
operating system. a.
, Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK)
A license to enable a workstation to access a Windows server. b.
client access license (CAL)
A set of unique identification information that is typically put at the end of a file or that is
associated with a computer communication. Its purpose is to show that the source of the file
or communication is legitimate. c.
digital certificate
An area designated in physical computer memory that is used in Windows operating systems
to help speed up reading and writing to hard disk. d.
file system cache
Enables you to create one file and then establish links to that file in other folders, as though
the file is in all of the folders. e.
hard link
The process of keeping chronological records of data or transactions so that if a system
crashes without warning, the data or transactions can be reconstructed or backed out to avoid
data loss or information that is not properly synchronized. f.
journaling
