Cheers,

QUESTION1:
You work as the network administrator at Certkiller .com. The Certkiller .com
network consists of a single Active Directory domain named Certkiller .com. All
servers on the Certkiller .com network run Windows Server 2003 and all client
computers run Windows XP Professional and Microsoft Office XP. Certkiller .com
has headquarters in London and remote locations in Paris, Berlin and Athens.
All the remote locations of Certkiller .com form part of the Marketing department.

Actualtest.org – The Power of Knowing
All these departments use the same critical in-house marketing application. The
Certkiller .com network contains an application server named Certkiller -SR22.
You have been instructed to deploy a server cluster solution that will run Windows
Server 2003, Enterprise Edition.
You want to provide fault tolerance and load balancing. You need to configure a
node in each remote location and to choose a cluster model for Certkiller .com.
Which should you do?
A. Implement the Fibre Channel Switched Fabric cluster quorum model.
B. Implement the Majority node set cluster quorum model.
C. Implement the Single quorum device cluster quorum model.
D. Implement the Single node cluster quorum model.
Answer: B
Explanation: The node set cluster allows you to have multiple nodes in different
geological places. Each of the nodes consists of its own cluster disk, that’s way it will
allow the cluster to remain available even if the quorum disk has failed or offline.
Incorrect answers:
A: The Fibre Channel Switched Fabric is a shared storage solution which provides high
bandwidth. It is best to use the Fibre Channel Switched Fabric with a single quorum
device cluster solution.
C: A single quorum device cluster consists of one node. The Single quorum device
cluster does not remain available if the quorum is corrupt or even offline.
D: The Single node cluster only allows one node which does not provide fault tolerance.
QUESTION 2:
You work as the network administrator at Certkiller .com. The Certkiller .com
network consists of a single Active Directory domain named Certkiller .com. All
servers on the Certkiller .com network run Windows Server 2003. Half the client
computers run Windows 2000 Professional, and the rest run Windows XP
Professional.
Certkiller .com consists of two departments named Finance and Marketing. The
Certkiller .com network contains three Windows 2003 servers named
Certkiller -SR21, Certkiller -SR22 and Certkiller -SR23. You have designed a
critical in-house database application named DB1.
The application is designed to run across the three severs. This is to optimize the
performance of the application. DB1 is designed to distribute the request and
combined the result in a single response. You want to install the application to
ensure high availability. Your solution must use minimal hardware resources.
During a failover, the performance should be optimal. You need to design a server
cluster.
What should you do?

Actualtest.org – The Power of Knowing
A. Use three distributed database servers and install DB1.
B. Use three distributed database servers and install DB1 as a server cluster.
On each of them deploy the full set of the database data.
C. Use three distributed database servers and install DB1 as a server cluster with database
server in passive standby node.
D. Install DB1 as a server cluster on three active/passive server cluster node pair.
Let each three active/passive server cluster node pair host a partitioned data.
Answer: C
Explanation: If an application has distributed data for instance in this case, you do
need a cluster service with three active distributed database servers with one being
in passive standby node.
Incorrect answers:
A: If you install DB1 on three distributed database servers, if will not provide a
high-available solution. If one server fails the data of that server will not be available.
B: When you use three distributed database servers and install DB1 as a server cluster
and on each of them deploy the full set of the database data, will the performance suffer.
The scenario does not require this.
D: Install DB1 as a server cluster on three active/passive server cluster node pair and let
each three active/passive server cluster node pair host a partitioned data does require
more hardware.
QUESTION 3:
You work as the network administrator at Certkiller .com. The Certkiller .com
network consists of a single Active Directory domain named Certkiller .com. All
servers on the Certkiller .com network run Windows Server 2003 and all client
computers run Windows XP Professional.
The Certkiller .com network consists of a server named Certkiller -SR11 which is
configured as a DNS server. Certkiller -SR11 is configured to resolve queries for
external internet resources. A new Certkiller .com security policy requires that DNS
services must be implemented in a fault-tolerance manner. It is also required that
the hosts should always use the same DNS server address. You need to apply DNS
on two computers that are configured as a cluster.
What should you do?
A. Apply an NLB cluster in unicast mode to the cluster configuration.
B. Apply a server cluster in an active/active configuration to the cluster configuration.
C. Apply an NLB cluster in multi mode to the cluster configuration.
D. Apply a server cluster in an active/passive configuration to the cluster configuration.
Answer: D
Explanation: Windows Server 2003 supports two different types of clustering:

Actualtest.org – The Power of Knowing
server clusters and Network Load Balancing (NLB). The nodes in an NLB cluster
should be identically configured because the nodes share the incoming client
requests. In active/passive configuration, the DNS server will run on one node.
Incorrect answers:
A, C: DNS supports Active Directory which means that it must support dynamic updates.
This means that it cannot function on a unicast or multicast NLB model. If you set it up
in this manner the database would not be synchronized, because the each node in an NLB
would host a separate DNS database.
B: If you implement the active/active configuration, then two DNS virtual server will be
available on the network. The scenario requires that the same DNS server address should
be used.
