LAN MANAGEMENT Summary Questions 1. Directory Applications has subdirectories Databases and WordProcessings. The Network administrator assigns user Lee to the group Outer. The administrator assigns Outer the access rights R, S, and T in Directory Applications. (Don’t worry about the meaning of R, S, and T. They are simply types of rights.) The administrator assigns Outer the access rights S, U, and V in subdirectory Databases. a) What access rights does user Lee have in directory Applications? Explain. b) What access rights does user Lee have in directory Databases? Explain. c) What access rights does user Lee have in directory WordProcessings? Explain. Applications Databases WordProcessings a) R, S, T Explanation: These rights are explicitly assigned to the Outer group in the Applications directory. And Lee is member of the Outer group; which means he will automatically have those access rights. b) S, U, V Explanation: These rights are explicitly assigned to the Outer in the Databases directory. And Lee is member of the Outer group; which means he will automatically have those access rights. c) R, S, T Explanation: These rights are automatically inherited from the upper level; i.e. from the Applications directory in which they were explicitly assigned to the Outer group to which Lee belongs. 116101453 Page 1 of 3 ACTIVE DIRECTORY Summary Questions 1) In AD, a __________ stores information about all the objects in the initial DC and partial information about objects in other domains a) Forest b) Global Catalog c) Namespace d) Schema e) Site Explanation: The Global Catalog is includes an index and a partial replica of objects and attributes most often used in the Active Directory database like users’ first and last names, logon names, email address, etc. The Global Catalog enables users to easily find information in the Active Directory from anywhere in a forest of domains. 2) Which of the following is a 128-bit number (that cannot change) assigned to an object? a) User Principal Name b) Universal Name c) Globally Unique Identifier 3) When combining domains in a tree, you have named the parent domain univesity.com while the two child domains added to this parent are named computerscience.univesity.com and hystory.university.com. Which of the following options have you selected for naming the domains? a) Disjointed b) Contiguous c) User Principal Name d) Globally Unique Identifier Explanation: In a contiguous namespace, every child domain contains the name of its parent domain. Here the parent domain name (university.com) is found in each of the child domains. The other type of namespace is called disjointed namespace. In a disjointed namespace the child domain’s name doesn’t include the parent domain’s name. . 4) In Active Directory, a _____________ represents the design of the AD database. It contains the definition of objects’ attributes. a) Class b) Global Catalog c) Namespace d) Schema Explanation: Active Directory is the Windows’ database. In active Directory, the schema contains the definition of each object as well as its relationship with other objects. In a relational database like Access, a schema defines the tables, the fields in each table, and the relationships between fields and tables among other things. 116101453 Page 2 of 3 4) Which of the following statements is/are true regarding sites? a) High speed connections are used in a site, whereas low speed connections are used between sites b) A site represents one or more subnets at the same physical location. c) All of the above Explanation: As mentioned on slide 14 in the ppt class notes, a site is one or more IP subnets at the same location. Example: in the LH1031, we have a network that is a single subnet that operates at 100 Mpbs. If we decide to created another site in Champaign and connect the two sites, we need to use a low speed transmission line like an ISDN, a DSL, etc. That transmission line is slower compared to the 100 Mbps we would have in each site. Site 1 100BaseTX LAN in Chicago 1 Mbps transmission line Site 2 100BaseTX LAN in Charleston 5) Trees in a forest use: a) Different Golbal catalogs b) Same schema c) Always use the same naming structure Explanation: In an Active Directory forest, trees use the same schema and the same global catalog. Trees in a forest do not use the same naming structure. They usually use disjointed namespaces. See slide #13 in ppt notes. 6) A(n) __________ is a grouping of related objects, usually, based on the functional structure of the organization a) Site b) Organizational Unit c) tree Explanation: An OU is usually created to represent the functional areas of an organization (e.g. Sales department, Marketing department, etc.) 116101453 Page 3 of 3
