Ans: By default it gets only three roles, PDC Emulator Relative Identifier(RID) Infrastructure Master(IM) 4.C) Explain the activities of each role? 1)Schema Master: It will govern the Active Directory to all the Domain Controllers in a forest. 2)Domain Naming Master: Maintains the unique Domain Naming System in a forest to avoid duplication. 3)RID master: It assigns unique ID to every user account. (Domain + RID) 4)PDC Emulator: If PDC is upgraded to windows 2000 it will send data to BDCs on the network.(Replication of user Database)If the user password is not matching in a particular Domain, then it will contact PDC emulator of first Domain Controller (Master Domain

controller) 5)Infrastructure Master: Maintains the infrastructure group proper files on the master Domain controller. 5) What is the hierarchy of Group Policy? 1) Local policy 2) Site Policy 3) Domain Policy 4) OU Policy 6) How to start/stop a service from command prompt? Ans: Go to the command prompt, typeNet start service name (To start a service) Net stop service name (To stop a service)Ex: net start netlogon Net stop netlogon 7) How to convert from FAT to NTFS? Ans: Convert Drive /fs:ntfs 8) What is the advantage of NTFS over FAT? File and folder level security disk compression disk quotas encrypt files 9) What is the port used for Terminal Services? Ans: 3389 10) How to know 3389 is working or not? Ans: Netstat -a (Displays all connections and listening of ports) 11) How can I quickly find all the listening or open ports on my computer? Ans: if you want to see all the used and listening ports on your computer, you'd use the NETSTAT command. 12) Disk Management: How many partitions can you create maximum? (Among that how many primary and how many Extended partitions?) Ans: Maximum we can create 4 partitions in basic disk. Among that we can create maximum 1 extended partition. You can create 4 primary partitions if you do not have Extended. 13) Disk Management: How many types of volumes we have in Dynamic disc? Ans: There are 5 types of volumes, Simple Spanned Striped (also called RAID 0) Mirror (Also called RAID 1)

 RAID 5 (Also called striped volumes with parity) 14) What are the advance startup/boot options ? Safe mode Safe mode with command prompt Safe mode with networking Last known good configuration 15) What are the types of backup ? Ans: There are five types of backup in windows 2003 server, Normal backup - It copy all the files marked in to be backup Incremental backup - only those files that have been created or changed since last incremental or normal backup. Decremental backup - The only copies files that have been created or changed since the last normal or incremental backup Copy backup - It copy all the files u have selected Daily backup - It copy all the files u have selected that have been modified on the day 16) When child domain is created in the domain tree, what type of trust relationship exists between the child domain and the root domain ? Ans: Transitive trust. 17) Name the types of AD groups & scope. Ans: There are 2 types of group, Security group Distribution group There are 3 types of scope, Universal Global Domain local 18) How can a normal domain user log into any of the Domain Controllers with his/hers domain account.? Ans: Users should have " Allow Log On Locally " permission in the Local security policy. 19) What is resultant set of policy ? Ans: It reports the effect of policy on various combinations of users and computers. 20) What is the purpose of boot.ini file ? Ans: Windows (specifically Ntldr) uses the Boot.ini file to determine which operating system options to display when the Startup program is running. Questions from CITRIX
