1. What’s the difference between local, global and universal groups? Domain
local groups assign access permissions to global domain groups for local domain
resources. Global groups provide access to resources in other trusted domains.
Universal groups grant access to resources in all trusted domains.
2. I am trying to create a new universal user group. Why can’t I? Universal
groups are allowed only in native-mode Windows Server 2003 environments.
Native mode requires that all domain controllers be promoted to Windows Server
2003 Active Directory.
3. What is LSDOU? It’s group policy inheritance model, where the policies are
applied to Local machines, Sites, Domains and Organizational Units.
4. Why doesn’t LSDOU work under Windows NT? If the NTConfig.pol file exist,
it has the highest priority among the numerous policies.
5. Where are group policies stored? %SystemRoot%System32\GroupPolicy
6. What is GPT and GPC? Group policy template and group policy container.
7. Where is GPT stored? %SystemRoot
%\SYSVOL\sysvol\domainname\Policies\GUID
8. You change the group policies, and now the computer and user settings are
in conflict. Which one has the highest priority? The computer settings take
priority.
9. You want to set up remote installation procedure, but do not want the user to
gain access over it. What do you do? gponame–> User Configuration–>
Windows Settings–> Remote Installation Services–> Choice Options is your
friend.
10. What’s contained in administrative template conf.adm? Microsoft NetMeeting
policies
11. How can you restrict running certain applications on a machine? Via group
policy, security settings for the group, then Software Restriction Policies.
12. You need to automatically install an app, but MSI file is not available. What
do you do? A .zap text file can be used to add applications using the Software
Installer, rather than the Windows Installer.
13. What’s the difference between Software Installer and Windows Installer?
The former has fewer privileges and will probably require user intervention. Plus,
it uses .zap files.
14. What can be restricted on Windows Server 2003 that wasn’t there in
previous products? Group Policy in Windows Server 2003 determines a users
right to modify network and dial-up TCP/IP properties. Users may be selectively
restricted from modifying their IP address and other network configuration
parameters.
15. How frequently is the client policy refreshed? 90 minutes give or take.
16. Where is secedit? It’s now gpupdate.
17. You want to create a new group policy but do not wish to inherit. Make sure
you check Block inheritance among the options when creating the policy.
18. What is "tattooing" the Registry? The user can view and modify user
preferences that are not stored in maintained portions of the Registry. If the group
policy is removed or changed, the user preference will persist in the Registry.
19. How do you fight tattooing in NT/2000 installations? You can’t.
20. How do you fight tattooing in 2003 installations? User Configuration -
Administrative Templates - System - Group Policy - enable - Enforce Show
Policies Only.
21. What does IntelliMirror do? It helps to reconcile desktop settings, applications,
and stored files for users, particularly those who move between workstations or
those who must periodically work offline.
22. What’s the major difference between FAT and NTFS on a local machine?
FAT and FAT32 provide no security over locally logged-on users. Only native
NTFS provides extensive permission control on both remote and local files.
23. How do FAT and NTFS differ in approach to user shares? They don’t, both
have support for sharing.
24. Explan the List Folder Contents permission on the folder in NTFS. Same as
Read & Execute, but not inherited by files within a folder. However, newly
created subfolders will inherit this permission.
25. I have a file to which the user has access, but he has no folder permission to
read it. Can he access it? It is possible for a user to navigate to a file for which
he does not have folder permission. This involves simply knowing the path of the
file object. Even if the user can’t drill down the file/folder tree using My
Computer, he can still gain access to the file using the Universal Naming
Convention (UNC). The best way to start would be to type the full path of a file
into Run… window.
26. For a user in several groups, are Allow permissions restrictive or permissive?
Permissive, if at least one group has Allow permission for the file/folder, user will
have the same permission.
27. For a user in several groups, are Deny permissions restrictive or permissive?
Restrictive, if at least one group has Deny permission for the file/folder, user will
be denied access, regardless of other group permissions.
28. What hidden shares exist on Windows Server 2003 installation? Admin$,
Drive$, IPC$, NETLOGON, print$ and SYSVOL.
29. What’s the difference between standalone and fault-tolerant DFS
(Distributed File System) installations? The standalone server stores the Dfs
directory tree structure or topology locally. Thus, if a shared folder is inaccessible
or if the Dfs root server is down, users are left with no link to the shared
resources. A fault-tolerant root node stores the Dfs topology in the Active
Directory, which is replicated to other domain controllers. Thus, redundant root
nodes may include multiple connections to the same data residing in different
shared folders.
30. We’re using the DFS fault-tolerant installation, but cannot access it from a
Win98 box. Use the UNC path, not client, only 2000 and 2003 clients can access
Server 2003 fault-tolerant shares.
31. Where exactly do fault-tolerant DFS shares store information in Active
Directory? In Partition Knowledge Table, which is then replicated to other
domain controllers.
32. Can you use Start->Search with DFS shares? Yes.
33. What problems can you have with DFS installed? Two users opening the
redundant copies of the file at the same time, with no file-locking involved in
DFS, changing the contents and then saving. Only one file will be propagated
through DFS.
34. I run Microsoft Cluster Server and cannot install fault-tolerant DFS. Yeah,
you can’t. Install a standalone one.
35. Is Kerberos encryption symmetric or asymmetric? Symmetric.
36. How does Windows 2003 Server try to prevent a middle-man attack on
encrypted line? Time stamp is attached to the initial client request, encrypted
with the shared key.
37. What hashing algorithms are used in Windows 2003 Server? RSA Data
Security’s Message Digest 5 (MD5), produces a 128-bit hash, and the Secure
Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1), produces a 160-bit hash.
38. What third-party certificate exchange protocols are used by Windows 2003
Server? Windows Server 2003 uses the industry standard PKCS-10 certificate
request and PKCS-7 certificate response to exchange CA certificates with third-
party certificate authorities.
39. What’s the number of permitted unsuccessful logons on Administrator
account? Unlimited. Remember, though, that it’s the Administrator account, not
any account that’s part of the Administrators group.
40. If hashing is one-way function and Windows Server uses hashing for storing
passwords, how is it possible to attack the password lists, specifically the ones
using NTLMv1? A cracker would launch a dictionary attack by hashing every
imaginable term used for password and then compare the hashes.
41. What’s the difference between guest accounts in Server 2003 and other
editions? More restrictive in Windows Server 2003.
42. How many passwords by default are remembered when you check "Enforce
Password History Remembered"? User’s last 6 passwords.

I really surprize to read this fruit full matter. Plz update and change all these
information day by day……
When I create a user folder in server 2003 and set the share and security
permissions it allows the user read permissions only . They cannot write to the
folder no matter what permissions I set.How do I get around this?
Sir,

I am very happy when i have seen these questions, it is really usefull for the
interviews. If you can publish same sort of questions for citrix & exchange server
2003, that will be usefull to the techies.

“What’s the difference between local, global and universal groups? Domain local

Universal groups grant access to resources in all trusted domains.”
After reading that id probably not trust this site for too much, according to that
both universal and global groups are the same! What about server modes? mixed,
native or 2003 mode? universal groups cant be assigned in mixed or non native /
2003 modes.
Plus if you need to be reading a site like this to pass an interview you really dont
diserve the job you have wrongly applied for.
When i search this website i m very happy ,i got what i want b’coz i m in the
search
such a website which give me the basic knowledge of Windows server 2003 and
this site give
very much intersting facts about it and this site is also very much useful for the
candidate
who want do interview preperation And improve their Knowledge.

Information about windows server 2003 was useful. But this is not for the basic
users i guess. The person who doesn’t know what is schema, global catelog like
that information should also be given. pls include that.
site was good, I had practically implemted domain 2000 & 2003 in enterprise with
more than 6000 users . implemented group policy, password policy, profiles,
home drives ,concorrent login etc… but many a times you don’t get into the
basics which are required for interviews. and this questions provides many basic
question which even i never thought to read.
I have one suggestion to all, first parctically learn how domain work then read the
interview question, it will be much easier

please gv some detail information on server 2003.

I have one thing that I have not been able to fix for months. I have a domain and
the domain name is not the same as the “pre-windows 2000 domain name”. When
users go to login they see this old name. Nothing is wrong but this old name is not
the current domain name they login to. How do I change this pre Windows 2000
name to make it the same as what this pre Windows 2000 name points to?
