6.

An administrator has configured a DHCP server on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 in an Active Directory domain. A scope has been configured that has a valid range of addresses from 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.254. DHCPenabled clients begin to initialize, and all receive addresses beginning with 169.256.x.x. What is the most reasonable step that the administrator should perform to allow the DHCP server to begin responding to DHCP requests? a. b. c. d. Publish the DHCP server in Active Directory directory service. Reboot the client computers. Start and stop DHCP service on the clients. Authorize the DHCP server in Active Directory.

7.

A valid range of addresses and associated configuration options that a DHCP server is configured to assign to DHCP-enabled clients is referred to as a what? a. b. c. d. DHCP scope Client reservation Client lease Scope option

8.

The DHCP lease process requires the exchange of four different message types. What are the four message types that are exchanged during a successful lease process? a. b. c. d. e. DHCPREQUEST DHCPOFFER DHCPACK DHCPDISCOVER DHCPLEASE

9.

If a client on a routed network is not on the same segment as the DHCP server, which of the following can be configured to allow the client to obtain DHCP addressing information from the DHCP server? a. b. c. d. DHCP helper address Default gateway DHCP proxy DHCP relay agent

10. True or false: A DHCP server that is located on a member server and that is a member of a workgroup must be authorized before it can respond to DHCPDISCOVER messages? 11. A network administrator configures a DHCP server that has a scope of addresses 172.16.1.0 through 172.16.1.255. The first 10 addresses in this range were previously assigned to servers and print devices that require static IP address configuration. What must the administrator do to prevent DHCP from assigning addresses that have already been statically assigned? a. b. c. d. Configure client reservation for addresses that have been assigned previously. Configure an exclusion range for the addresses that have been assigned previously. No action is required; DHCP will know that the addresses are in use. Configure DHCP Option 03.

12. The client reservation is one of the DHCP configuration parameters that can be configured. This process assigns the same IP address to a specified client each time the client initializes. What two pieces of information must the administrator supply to configure a client reservation? a. b. c. d. Computer name IP address Domain name Hardware address

13. A network administrator has a single Class C address space, which is 194.10.10.0. The network consists of 150 users who are logged on to the network at all times and 150 sales users who have portable computers and who are periodically logged on to the network for short intervals. What recommendation would you make with regard to the lease period? a. b. c. d. Extend the default lease period to 10 days. No action is required; you should have an adequate number of addresses. Decrease the default lease period to 1 day. Decrease the default lease period to 8 days.

14. As shown in the following figure, your network consists of three subnets that are serviced by a single DHCP server. Computers on subnets A and C do not receive IP address configuration from the DHCP server. Which of the following choices could solve this problem?

a. b. c. d.

Install a DHCP server on segments A and C. Configure a subnet-specific scope for each DHCP server. Install a DHCP server on subnets A and C. Configure identical scopes for each DHCP server. Install a DHCP relay agent on each remote segment. Enable APIPA on each client computer in segments A and C.

15. You administer a network that has 75 client computers configured to dynamically receive IP address configuration. The DHCP server has been configured using a DHCP scope with a configured IP address range of 170.34.32.1 to 170.34.32.255 and a 24-bit mask. The network consists of a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 domain and Microsoft Windows XP clients configured as DHCP clients. Users of the client computers cannot access other computers or resources on the network. Which of the following options should you use to resolve the problem? a. b. c. d. e. f. Activate the scope. Reboot the DHCP server. Increase lease duration. Change the ending IP address to 170.34.38.255. Re-create the scope using a subnet mask of 255.255.244.0. Re-create the scope using a subnet mask of 255.255.240.0.

16. While creating a DHCP scope, you create an exclusion range for the printers on your network. You also create client reservations for each printer. None of the printers receives an IP address from DHCP. How should you resolve the problem? a. b. c. d. Remove address reservations for the printers. Remove the exclusion range for the printers. Disable address conflict detection. Enable address conflict detection.

17. You configure a DHCP scope with a 15-day lease period and a 21-bit subnet mask. How can you change the lease period so that it is unlimited with the least amount of administrative effort and DHCP server downtime? a. b. c. Delete the existing scope and use the New Scope Wizard to create a new scope. Specify an unlimited lease period. Edit the properties of the scope within the DHCP console, and change the lease period to unlimited. Delete the existing scope and use the Scope Wizard to create a new scope. When the wizard is complete, edit the properties of the new scope to reflect an unlimited lease period. Activate the new scope. Disable the existing scope and edit the properties of the scope within the DHCP console. Change the lease period to unlimited.

d.

18. True or false: The DHCP Server service is installed on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 by default? 19. DHCP is based heavily on which protocol? a. b. c. d. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) Domain Name System (DNS)

20. You add new computers to your DHCP-enabled network; soon after, you discover that users have occasional problems accessing resources on the network using TCP/IP. Which of the following solutions could solve this problem? a. b. c. d. Add additional IP addresses to the DHCP scope to include enough addresses for all computers. Authorize the DHCP server in Active Directory directory service. Create a new scope to include the new client computers. Change the problematic client computers to use NetBIOS H mode broadcasting.

10. What four tools provide DHCP data to a network administrator?

11. When logging DHCP data, two events will generate a new audit log file. What are the two events?

12. You are a network administrator of a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 network that has Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows XP clients. The network runs DHCP and DNS with default settings. How will the DNS server receive updates of client A and PTR resource records? a. b. c. d. Client computers will update both A and PTR records dynamically. Client computers will depend on DHCP to update both A and PTR records. Client computers will update the A records, and the DHCP server will update the PTR records. Client computers will update the A records. The PTR records will not be updated if default settings are used.

13. Your Microsoft Windows Server 2003 domain has Microsoft Window XP and Microsoft Windows 98, Second Edition clients. Your network runs DHCP and DNS. You notice that none of the Windows 98 clients can be contacted using their host names. What change should you make? a. b. c. d. Remove the DNS server and install a WINS server. Choose the DHCP option to dynamically update the DNS and PTR records only if requested by DHCP clients. Choose the DHCP option to dynamically update the preWindows 2000 clients. Choose the DHCP option to dynamically update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not request updates.

14. Which of the following client operating systems have the capability of dynamically registering their A records with DNS? a. b. c. d. e. Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4 Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Microsoft Windows XP Professional Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me) Microsoft Windows 98, Second Edition

15. You are a network administrator of a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 domain that is configured to use secure dynamic updates for DNS. The network clients have just been updated from Microsoft Windows NT 4 to Microsoft Windows 2000, and the DHCP server has been set to never update DNS on behalf of clients (the DHCP servers original setting was to always update DNS). You notice that the Windows 2000 clients do not update DNS. Which of the following could be the cause of the problem? a. b. c. d. The DNS zones are incorrectly set to Active Directoryintegrated. The DHCP server is not a member of the DnsUpdateProxy security group. The DNS server is not a member of the DnsUpdateProxy security group. The Windows 2000 clients should be upgraded to Microsoft Windows XP Professional.

16. You must perform a manual backup on a DHCP server named DHCP1. You would like the backup file to be stored on a computer named Server1. Which of the following steps must you take to complete this task? a. b. c. d. In the Advanced tab of the DHCP server properties page, specify the Universal Naming Convention, or UNC, path to the correct location on the remote server. In the DHCP server properties page, specify a local path to initially store the back-up, and then copy the backup file to the correct location on the remote server. You cannot specify a path for a manual backup. The backup file will always be stored in the %systemroot%\System32\Dhcp\Backup\New directory. Set the properties on the DHCP server to always store backup files on Server1.

17. You are the network administrator of a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 network that has 1,200 DHCP clients. You notice that the Dhcp.mdb file is 35 megabytes in size. What action can you take to improve the performance of DHCP? a. b. c. d. Perform an offline compaction of the DHCP database using the Jetpack utility. Do nothing. A 35-megabyte Dhcp.mdb file is acceptable. Manually delete some of the older entries in the DHCP database. Perform an online compaction of the DHCP database.

18. When DHCP audit logging ends at 12:00 A.M. and there is a current log file with the same name that has been modified within the last 24 hours, what action will DHCP take in regards to the current log file? a. b. c. d. The log file is overwritten. A new log file is automatically saved under a different file name. New logging activity is appended to the current log file. The new log file is not saved.

19. You have audit logging enabled on your DHCP server with the default settings. It is 12:00 A.M., and the DHCP server has performed a disk check and has determined that DHCP audit files are currently using 50 megabytes of disk space. The current audit file is 10 megabytes, and 15 megabytes of free space is available on the disk. How will the DHCP server handle the current file? a. b. c. d. The current file is saved and an administrative alert is listed in the Event Viewer. Logging ceases and the DHCP server will continue to perform disk checks until more than 20 megabytes of free space is available. The file is saved with no additional action. DHCP automatically compacts the file and writes it to the disk.

20. Your DHCP database has recently been restored from a manual backup. The manual backup file did not contain all of the current records. After restoring the database, you notice that no active leases are displayed in the DHCP console. What additional step should you take? a. Stop and restart DHCP. b. Delete the manually restored database and restore from an automatic copy. c. Reboot the DNS server. d. Reconcile the DHCP database.

21. You have been asked to perform an offline compaction of the DHCP database on one of your Microsoft Windows Server 2003 DHCP servers. What command-line tool would you use to accomplish this? a. The Compact utility b. The Compress utility c. The Jetpack utility d. The Dhcpcompress utility 22. As a network administrator, you must perform a manual restore of the DHCP database. When prompted, you chose the folder that contained the automatic backup files; however, you were unsuccessful in restoring the database. What is the most likely cause of this problem? a. The automatic backup files were too old to restore. b. You cannot manually restore a file that was created through the automatic backup process. c. To restore a file that was created through the automatic backup process, you must specify an automatic restore in the DHCP console. d. Manual restores are not permitted in DHCP. 23. You have a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 network that has DHCP running with the default configuration. The network has clients using the following operating systems: Microsoft Windows XP; Microsoft Windows NT 4; Microsoft Windows 98, Second Edition; and Microsoft Windows 2000. Which of the client operating systems can request that DHCP update DNS on their behalf? a. Windows XP b. Windows NT 4 c. Window 98, Second Edition d. Windows 2000 e. All of the above 24. When you perform a backup of the DHCP database, which of the following items are backed up? a. All scopes, superscopes, and multicast scopes b. Client reservations c. Leases d. Options e. All of the above 25. Your Microsoft Windows Server 2003 network is set to allow only secure dynamic updates. Your network clients were running Microsoft Windows NT 4 until you upgraded them to Microsoft Windows XP two days ago. DHCP is set to dynamically update DNS on behalf of the Window NT 4 clients. Since the update, you notice that none of the Windows XP clients will update their A resource records in DNS records. What is the most likely cause of this? a. Windows XP clients cannot update DNS resource records. b. The DHCP server is not a member of the DnsUpdateProxy security group. c. Windows XP cannot send secure dynamic updates. d. The DHCP server is not set to the default configuration.

26. Your DHCP database is corrupt, and you are forced to perform a manual restore. The database restore was successful. The week after the restore, you ask one of your junior administrators to make a change to the DHCP server. The junior administrator is not a member of the Administrators group, but has been given permissions to administer the DHCP database. Your assistant reports that she is not able to administer the DHCP database. What is the most likely reason the assistant cannot administer the database? a. Security credentials are not backed up by DHCP. After you perform a restore, you must reconfigure security credentials associated with the DHCP database. b. Only members of the Administrators group can administer the DHCP server. c. You incorrectly assigned permissions to the junior administrators user account. d. The junior administrator must be a member of the Domain Administrator group to administer the DHCP server.
