Lab 02 Review Questions
1. In Exercise 3, which of the New Zone Wizard pages would not appear if you opted to store your zones in Active Directory? 2. In Exercise 5, why would the lack of a static IP address be a problem, considering that DHCP clients use broadcast transmissions to locate DHCP servers? 3. The Windows DHCP server enables you to configure DHCP options at the scope level—affecting only the clients obtaining addresses from that scope—and at the server level, affecting clients obtaining addresses from any scope on the server. On an actual production network, why would it be more practical to configure the Router option as a scope option and the DNS Servers option as a server option?

1. In Exercise 2, you created a Lab04 text file on your computer at the beginning of the exercise. Later, while working within a terminal server session on your partner server, you opened a file using Notepad and accessed the Documents folder in your user profile on that computer. Why does the Lab04 file appear in the Documents folder on your partner server when you originally created it on your own server? 2.

How can you tell from this experience that the RDP file includes the settings you configured in the client before you created the RDP file? 3.

Lab 05 Review Questions
1. In Exercise 2, you used the Sharing and Storage Management console to create a simple volume. What must you do to create a different volume type such as a mirrored, striped, or RAID-5 volume? 2. In Exercise 5, you accessed a DFS namespace using the Contoso domain name. One reason for creating a domain-based namespace instead of a standalone namespace is to suppress the server name in the namespace path. Why is suppressing the server name considered an advantage? 3. In Exercise 5, you accessed the DFS namespace on your partner server and modified a file called Budget. Explain why the file you modified was actually stored on your own server and not the partner server. 4.

Under what circumstances would this checkbox be grayed out?
