Primary Zone: In this, the file is saved as normal text file with filename (.dns).
Secondary Zone: It maintains a read-only copy of zone database on another DNS server.  Also, it acts as a back-up server to the primary server by providing fault tolerance and load balancing
Stub Zone: It consists of a copy of name server and SOA records which is used for reducing the DNS search orders.
3)      Explain what does IntelliMirror do?

To add the application using the Software Installer.ZAP text file can be used rather than the windows installer

5)      Explain how you can set up remote installation procedure without giving access to user?

To do that, you have to go to,

gponameà  User Configuration à Windows Settings à Remote Installation Services à Choice Options

6)      What does it mean by “tattooing” the Registry ?

The caching only DNS server provides information related to queries based on the data it contains in its DNS cache.

11)   Explain what is the way to configure the DHCP server such that it allocates the same IP address to certain devices each time the address is removed?

To configure the DHCP server, you can create a reservation for the device.  To create a reservation, you must know the MAC hardware address of the device.  To determine the MAC address for a network device you can use the ipconfig or nbs tat command line utilities.

12)     Explain what is LDAP?

14)   Explain what is the difference between a thread and a computer process?



Computer Process: In computing, a process is an instance of a computer program that is executed sequentially by a computer system which can run several computer programs concurrently.

Thread: A thread is a several executable program that work together as a single process.  For instance, one thread might send an error message to the user; another might handle error signals while the third thread might be executing the original action.

On separate drives it allows you to combine one or more volumes so that they are accessed by a single drive letter

17)   Explain what is the purpose of deploying local DNS servers?

A local DNS server provides the local mapping of fully qualified domain names to IP addresses.  To resolve remote requests related to the domains names on your network, local DNS servers can provide record information to remote DNS servers.

18)   To check TCP/IP configurations and IP connectivity, what are the two command line utilities that can be used?

Ipconfig: To check the computer’s IP configuration, command ipconfig can be used and also it can be used to renew the client’s IP address if it is provided by a DHCP server.

Ping: To check the connection between the local computer and any of the other computer device on the network Ping command is used



19)   Explain if it is possible to connect Active Directory to other 3rd party Directory services?

Yes, you can connect other vendors directory services with Microsoft version.  By using dirXML or LDAP to connect to other directories.

AD database is saved in %systemroot%/ntds.  Files that controls the AD structure are

ntds.dit
edb.log
res1.log
res2.log
edn.chk
21)   Explain what is the major difference between NTFS ( New Technology File System) or FAT (File Allocation Table) on a local server?

For local users FAT (File Allocation Table) and FAT32 provides security, while NTFS ( New Technology File System) provides security for domain users as well as local users.  NTFS provides file level security which is not possible through FAT32.

22)   Mention what windows server 2008 service is used to install client operating system over the network?

MCSE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWER ,VERY USEFULL OUR NEXT JOB INTERVIEW MCSE Questions and Answers: :  1 :: What is the use of IGMP protocol?  Internet Group Management Protocol: - It allows internet hosts to participate in multicasting. The IGMP messages are used to learn which hosts is part of which multicast groups. The mechanism also allow a host to inform its local router, that it wants to receive messages.  2 :: What are Ping and Tracert?  Ping and tracert are the commands used to send information to some remote computers to receive some information. Information is sent and received by packets. Ping I particularly used to check if the system is in network or not. It also gives packet lost information. In windows ping command is written as ping ip_address Tracert is called as trace route. It is used to track or trace the path the packet takes from the computer where the command is given until the destination. In windows ping command is written as tracert ip_address  3

OSI MODEL (Open Systems Interconnection model )

To Day I Explain OSI MODEL,   Open Systems Interconnection model  ( OSI ) is a conceptual model that characterizes and standardizes the internal functions of a communication system by partitioning it into  abstraction  layers. The model is a product of the Open Systems Interconnection project at the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), maintained by the identification ISO/IEC 7498-1. The model groups communication functions into seven logical layers. A layer serves the layer above it and is served by the layer below it. For example, a layer that provides error-free communications across a network provides the path needed by applications above it, while it calls the next lower layer to send and receive packets that make up the contents of that path. Two instances at one layer are connected by a horizontal connection on that layer.  The Below Shown Diagram is helpful to understand the OSI seven Layer Model.
