Deja's Mon 70-217 Question of the Day

| Here goes the very first one:
You add a new domain controller named GC01 to your network to take the place of the existing global catalog server. You also enable GC01 as a global catalog. You want to use GC00, the original server, as a domain controller but not as a GC server for the domain. You want to increase disk space on GC00.
What should you do?
(Choose all that apply)
A. Use the Active Directory Sites and Services. Select the NTDS settings object for the GC00 Server to clear the Global Catalog check box.
B. On the GC00 server, run the Ntdsutil utility to defragment Active Directory.
C. On the GC00 server, reinstall Windows 2000.
D. On the GC01 server, run the Ntdsutil utility to enable the global catalog server option.
We'll see ya' tomorrow with the answers! | |

| Its definately A at least. B sounds like a possibility, but defragmenting the database doesn't recover space, you will need to compact it if you want to do that, which BTW you do in NTDSUTIL. So it sounds perfectly logical, but the terminology in the answer is throwing me off.  C will definately free up some room, but that doesn't sound like the best option, though the question didn't say anything about "Least amount of administrative effort". And D is just bogus. Hmmmm. | |

The Answer was A & B.
The first domain controller (DC) in the root domain of a forest automatically becomes a GC server. Global catalog servers store a complete directory of its domain and partial (read-only) information about the contents of every domain in AD. The Global Catalog is used to find objects located anywhere in the forest without querying DCs responsible for those objects (and that may be located remotely). GCs obtain their info completely through replication and all GC servers store the SAME information. Note that universal group membership is stored in the GC. A user's membership in universal groups must be determined by a GC and this check MUST be done. The two exceptions to this rule are that administrator can still log on without a GC server available so that he/she can troubleshoot GC., otherwise the logon will fail . Finally, if a user has logged on recently then they can still be logged on with their cached account (when no GC is available).
NTDSUTIL.EXE (AD Diagnostic Tool) is a command line utility used to perform maintenance on the Active Directory database, NTDS.DIT. NTDSUTIL.EXE is used for offline defrag of AD in order to reduce the size of the AD database. The size of NTDS.DIT will grow as it is modified. To reduce it's size, you must take the DC offline (in Directory Services Restore mode) and perform an offline defrag. | |
