CNIT 242 Exam #3 |84 Complete Q’s and
A’s
DFS (Distributed File System) Purpose - --Consistent data appearance for
users
-Reduce reconfiguration
-Make better use of server disk space
- Active Directory (AD) - -The centralized directory database that contains
user account information and security for the entire group of computers on a
network.
- How do DFS and Active Directory relate? - -DFS is Active Directory site-
aware
- DFS folder - -folder within namespace, virtual or a referral to an actual
target.
- DFS Folder purpose - -to create the hierarchy within the namespace
- Namespace server - -Server that contains the namespace root
- Namespace servers will automatically - -refer clients to a copy of the
target in their site
- UNC naming convention for domain based server - -Domain-Based: \\
domainname\namespace
- UNC naming convention for standalone server - -Standalone: \\
servername\namespace
- Referral - -The process of pointing a client to a target
- Target - --A network share located on a server that is part of the
namespace
- True or False: A share in a namespace can have multiple targets - -True
- DFS Root Servers - -Where the DFS root is located
- A standalone namespace is located on - -a server and addressed as the
server name
, - Active Directory IS or IS NOT required for a standalone namespace - -IS
NOT
- True or False: Only one domain-based namespace can be created within a
domain - -False, Multiple domain-based namespaces can be created within a
domain
- True or False: Each domain-based namespace is managed independently -
-True
- Cost of new clients - -Time
Effort
- Do vendors offer more Business class or consumer machines, and why? - -
Most major computer vendors offer "business class" machines that are
designed for business use.
-Longer lifespans than their consumer class equivalents
-Easier to expand
-More consistent hardware
-Typically higher cost but with better warranties
- Total cost of ownership (TCO) - -a financial estimate intended to help
buyers and owners determine the direct and indirect costs of a product or
system
- Client hardware - -a piece of computer hardware or software that accesses
a service made available by a server
- Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) - -Microsoft-provided tool to
automate server updates
- WSUS Abilities - --Managed update solution
-Can work with the existing automatic update mechanism on windows
machines
- From WSUS version 6, the default port # is - -TCP 8530
- Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) - -Greatly reduces
the labor required to implement a new application or upgrade across the
enterprise
- SCCM does NOT eliminate the need to - -manually resolve problems that
might arise on specific machines due to hardware or software interactions
- Imaging - -Standardized client software installations, including the
operating system
