Juanita is the lead infrastructure planner on the Active Directory services infrastructure design team for Hiabuv Toys. The team is currently working on defining the organizational unit (OU) structure as part of the company's transition to Microsoft Windows 2000. Hiabuv Toys has two divisions. The smaller division is the motorized toys division, which is located in Tucker, Georgia, along with the company's headquarters. The larger division designs, manufactures, and packages stuffed animals at its location in Mexico City, Mexico, and action figures at its two locations in Ft. Worth, Texas, and Houston, Texas. The Houston office makes and paints the plastic action figures. The Ft. Worth location manufactures the clothing, puts the finishing touches on the figures, and then packages them. The design team is recommending just one domain. The required result for Juanita and her team of infrastructure designers is twofold. First they must define an OU structure that will allow the location in Mexico City to maintain its own IT management department. Second they must define an OU structure that separates the employees of the design unit, the manufacturing unit, and the packaging unit from one another. The first ideal outcome of the plan is to allow the Ft. Worth Admins group to set its own membership and to prevent the Houston Admins group from setting its own membership. The second ideal outcome of Juanita's plan also has two parts. The first part is to separate the employees working at the Tucker Headquarters from the employees working at the Tucker motorized toy division. The second part is to hide the accounting resources from all employees except the vice president of accounting and his staff.

 Juanita and the design team propose creating three top-level OUs: one for Mexico, one for the Tucker headquarters, and one for Texas. The Mexico top-level OU would have three second-level OUs; the three second-level OUs would be named Design, Manufacturing, and Packaging. The Tucker top-level OU would have a second-level OU for the employees working for the motorized toys division. The Texas OU would have two second-level OUs, one for Ft. Worth and one for Houston. The Ft. Worth Admins would be placed in the Ft. Worth OU, and the Houston Admins would be placed in the Texas OU. Finally, Juanita proposes placing the accounting resources in the Tucker OU to hide them from the employees in the motorized toys division. Does Juanita's proposal satisfy the required result and the two ideal outcomes?

A)

It satisfies the required result and both ideal outcomes.

B)

It satisfies the required result but only one of the ideal outcomes.

C)

It satisfies only the required result.

D)

It satisfies neither the required result nor the ideal outcomes.

Roscoe is the lead infrastructure planner on the Active Directory services infrastructure design team for Contoso Pharmaceuticals. The team is currently working on defining the organizational unit (OU) structure and security groups and determining appropriate naming conventions in preparation for the company's transition to Microsoft Windows 2000. Contoso Pharmaceuticals has three divisions: research and development, manufacturing, and sales and distribution. The company's headquarters and the eastern research and development offices are located in Boston, Massachusetts. The company's western research and development offices are located in Los Angeles, California. The manufacturing division and the sales and distribution division are located in Greenville, South Carolina. Roscoe and his design team are recommending one domain. The required result for Roscoe and his team of infrastructure designers is to protect the research done by the research and development division. The first ideal outcome is to hide the new products developed by the Los Angeles research and development office from everyone else, including the Boston research and development employees, and to hide the new products developed in Boston from everyone else, including the Los Angeles employees. The second ideal outcome of the design team's plan is to develop a naming convention for employees that easily identifies the employee, his or her division, and his or her location.

 Roscoe and his design team propose creating a top-level R&D OU for the research and development division, with two second-level OUs—one for Boston and one for Los Angeles. Both the LA Admins and the Boston Admins will be in the R&D OU. They also propose creating two third-level OUs. One third-level OU will be named BostonNew. BostonNew will contain the data on the new products developed by the Boston research and development office and will be located off the second-level Boston OU. The second third-level OU will be named LANew. LANew will contain the data on the new products developed by the Los Angeles research and development office and will be located off the second-level LA OU. They also propose a top-level OU name SC for South Carolina. There will be two second-level OUs below it. One will be named SandD for the sales and distribution division. The other second-level OU will be named Manuf for the manufacturing division. The third top-level OU will be named HQ and will have two second-level OUs under it. One second-level OU will be Exec for the executive staff, and the other will be Staff for the staff who are not executives. The naming convention decided on by Roscoe and his design team is to use the first name of the employee, up to four letters, followed by the first two letters of the last name. After the letters from the first and last name will come one of the symbols listed in the table. If the user name is not unique, a number, starting with 2, will be added to the end of the user name.

Michael is the lead infrastructure planner on the Active Directory services infrastructure design team for Woodgrove Bank. The headquarters for Woodgrove Bank is located in Dallas, Texas. One of the largest divisions in the bank is the investment division, which is located in Chicago, Illinois, and is connected to headquarters by a T1 line (1.544 Mbps). About 1500 employees are in the Dallas domain, and about 600 employees are in the Chicago domain. The T1 line that connects them is about 45% available. Woodgrove is planning to upgrade its three largest offices—Dallas, Chicago, and Philadelphia—to Microsoft Windows 2000. About 60 small branch offices are in each of the three regions. So far Michael and the design team have determined that they will have one forest and three domains: Dallas, Chicago, and Philadelphia. As Michael and his team of infrastructure designers create a site topology plan for the organization, they have been assigned a few additional tasks. Their required result is to find a solution to end the complaints from the employees in the Philadelphia regional headquarters of slow logon times and slow authentication when attempting to access resources. The Philadelphia regional headquarters has 400 employees in the Philadelphia domain, and is connected to both the headquarters in Dallas and the Chicago office with T1 lines (1.544 Mbps) that are about 60% available. The first ideal outcome is to optimize network response time and application availability. The second ideal outcome is to determine whether any changes need to be made to the operations master role assignments or to the placement of global catalog servers to ensure that the branch offices can remain on Windows NT 4 for another year.

  Michael and the design team propose defining three sites, one for each domain: Dallas, Chicago, and Philadelphia. They plan to add an additional domain controller in the Philadelphia site to improve logon time and to remedy the problem with slow authentication when attempting to access resources. To optimize network response time and application availability, they plan to designate at least one domain controller in each site as a global catalog server. Does Michael's proposal satisfy the required result and the two ideal outcomes?

A)

It satisfies the required result and both ideal outcomes.

B)

It satisfies the required result but only one of the ideal outcomes.

C)

It satisfies only the required result.

D)

It satisfies neither the required result nor the ideal outcomes.

Yanni is the lead infrastructure planner on the Active Directory services infrastructure design team for Fabrikam, Inc. The headquarters for Fabrikam is located in Raleigh, North Carolina. The manufacturing division for most of the materials sold by Fabrikam is located in Delhi, India, and is connected to headquarters by a 256-Kbps line that historically has been unreliable. There are about 500 employees in Raleigh and about 200 employees in Delhi. Only 20 of the employees in Delhi are network users. Most of the dyes used for the materials are natural and are produced in Calcutta, India. About 75 employees work in the office in Calcutta, and 10 of them are network users. Delhi and Calcutta are connected by Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) connectivity only. Fabrikam also has a silk division, which is located in Bangkok, Thailand, and is connected to headquarters by a T1 line that is nearly 65% available. About 100 employees are in Bangkok, but only 10 are network users. A few retail sites sell Fabrikam materials to the public, but most Fabrikam materials are sold to furniture manufacturers in North Carolina. Fabrikam is planning to upgrade to Microsoft Windows 2000. So far Yanni and the design team have determined that they will have one forest and three domains: Raleigh, Delhi, and Bangkok. The required result for Yanni and the rest of the team of infrastructure designers is to physically group computers to optimize network traffic by creating a site topology plan for the organization. The first ideal outcome is to be as economical as possible. The second ideal outcome is to plan the operations master role assignments and the placement of global catalog servers.

 Yanni and the design team propose defining three sites, one for each domain (Raleigh, Delhi, and Bangkok), and to have two domain controllers in each domain for redundancy. To be economical, they are planning to have only three sites. As for the assignment of operations master roles, they plan to have the schema master in Raleigh and to have a domain controller holding the domain naming master role in each of the three sites. Does Yanni's proposal satisfy the required result and the two ideal outcomes?

A)

It satisfies the required result and both ideal outcomes.

B)

It satisfies the required result but only one of the ideal outcomes.

C)

It satisfies only the required result.

D)

It satisfies neither the required result nor the ideal outcomes.
