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.

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.

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.)
