restriction requirements and the administrators nonrestriction requirements. A new GPO could
support the Research Department requirements.
b. To which Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) objects will you link these GPOs?

The Default Domain Policy is linked to the Adatum.com domain. You could link the new GPO to
the Research Department organization unit (OU).

c. How do you plan to configure the restriction for all users?

Configure the Default Domain Policy to enable printer installation by using the Allow non-
administrators to install drivers for the setting for device setup classes setting.
d. How will you accommodate the requirement to support the Research Departments needs?

Either install the drivers into the driver store on each Research Department computer, or
configure the Research GPO with permissions to install drivers of the globally unique identifier
(GUID) of the specified setup class for the mouse, printer, and keyboard. Use the Allow
installation of devices using drivers that match these device setup classes setting.

e. How will you accommodate the administrators requirement?

Configure the Allow administrators to override Device Installation Restrictions policies


setting in the Default Domain Policy.

Module 10: Troubleshooting Resource Access for Clients

Lab: Troubleshooting Resource Access for
Clients That Are Not Domain Members
Exercise 1: Troubleshoot Device Registration
Task 1: Read the scenario
Read the scenario to identify how A. Datum Corporation has implemented the Device Registration
tool.

Task 2: Create an orientation session about Device Registration


Device Registration is required for accessing which application?

Answer: Device Registration is required to access the Sales and Ordering application. However, this
requirement might expand to other applications in the future.

How does Device Registration enhance application security?

Answer: Device Registration creates a device object in AD DS for the device. This behaves similarly to
a domain member computer, and you can restrict access to domain-member devices. This means that
users cannot access the application from random locations or devices.

Can desktop-support staff utilize the Device Registration tool during initial device configuration?

Answer: No. If more than one user is utilizing a single device, each user must perform Device
Registration. Device Registration uniquely identifies the combination of a user and a device, and
places a certificate on the device for that user and device combination. The device then uses this
certificate during authentication.

What information do users need to provide when registering a device by using the Device
Registration tool?
Answer: Users need to provide their user principal name (UPN) during Device Registration. This UPN
authenticates the user during the Device Registration process. The UPNs domain portion also
identifies the server to which the device connects for registration, which will be
deviceregistration.domainname.com.

What issues might prevent the Device Registration tool from registering a device properly?

Answer: Some of the common issues that might occur include:

Users entering an incorrect UPN. Some users might be confused and enter their email address
instead.

Lack of network connectivity. If the device is having network connectivity problems, then Device
Registration will fail.

Certificate trust issues. The certificates are from a trusted CA on the Internet. Therefore, this will not
be a common issue. However, when new certificates are implemented, some computers or devices
might need updates to have the proper trusted root CA.

Results: After completing this exercise, you should have created an outline that you can use for training
help-desk and desktop-support staff regarding how to configure Workplace Join successfully.

Exercise 2: Troubleshooting Work Folders 1


Task 1: Read the scenario
Read the scenario to identify how A. Datum has implemented Work Folders.

Task 2: Create an orientation session about Work Folders


Which group of users is using Work Folders first?

Answer: The executives are using Work Folders first because they have a defined need for it currently.
Other user groups may use it in the future.

How does data on a users home drive synchronize with Work Folders?

Answer: A users home-drive data does not synchronize with Work Folders. The home-drive location
becomes the Work Folders. The mapped drive letter that executives received for their home folder is
the server location that stores Work Folders data.

Which devices does the Work Folders feature support?

Answer: At this time, Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 computers and tablets support the Work Folders
feature.

How do the executives connect to Work Folders?


Answer: Auto discovery has been configured for Work Folders. Therefore, during initial configuration,
executives provide their email addresses, of which the domain portion is used to locate the server at
workfolders.domainname.com.
Which user property defines the URL that a device uses to access Work Folders?

Answer: Each user account has an msDS-SyncServerURL attribute that defines the Work Folders
server for that user. You must configure this attribute manually when you implement multiple Work
Folders servers and use auto discovery.

What happens if executives do not have their smartphones available during authentication?

Answer: If executives do not have their smartphones available, they will not be able to authenticate.
This is the purpose of multifactor authentication. As an alternative access solution, executives could
use the virtual private network (VPN) to access their home drives.

Results: After completing this exercise, you will have created an outline for training help-desk and
desktop-support staff about the proper configuration of Work Folders.

Answer: Yes. An app is available for iOS devices. Additionally, any web browser that SharePoint
Server 2013 supports can access OneDrive for Business. Furthermore, it supports recent versions of
Internet Explorer, and most major browsers, such as Google Chrome, Safari, and Mozilla Firefox.
