The network interface that enables you to distribute the network load across servers is **Network Load Balancing (NLB)**. NLB is a technique used to distribute network traffic across multiple servers to ensure that no single server becomes a bottleneck, thereby enhancing performance and reliability. **NIC teaming** is a configuration that combines multiple network interface cards to work together for redundancy and increased throughput, but

D) Hardware configuration The HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG key in the Windows Registry contains information about the current hardware configuration of the system, which is derived from the last hardware profile used during the boot process.

The correct answer is **B) They centralize administration of user and computer configurations**. Group Policy Objects (GPOs) are a key feature in a domain-based network, primarily used to manage and configure operating system settings, application settings, and user environments across multiple computers and users within an Active Directory environment. This centralization helps in enforcing security settings, software installation, and various

The correct answer is **Resource Monitor**. Resource Monitor is a tool in Windows that allows users to monitor the real-time performance of various hardware and software resources, helping to identify the causes of slow computer performance.

In a network policy, if a connection doesn't match any policy, it is typically **denied by default**. This is a common security practice to ensure that only explicitly allowed traffic can pass through the network.

The correct answer is **B) Remote Desktop Services**. This role enables users to remotely access their desktops and applications on Windows Server 2016.

The file sharing protocol specifically designed for Unix/Linux systems among the options you provided is **NFS (Network File System)**. While SMB (Server Message Block) and CIFS (Common Internet File System) are also used for file sharing, they are primarily associated with Windows systems, although they can be used in Unix/Linux environments as well. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring files but is not a file sharing protocol

A RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) Proxy server primarily functions to forward authentication and accounting messages between RADIUS clients and RADIUS servers. Here’s a breakdown of the options provided: 1. **Block DNS requests**: This is not a function of a RADIUS Proxy server. RADIUS deals with authentication, authorization, and accounting, rather than DNS. 2. **Forward authentication and accounting messages**: This is

B) Automatically recognizes and configures devices

The interface that uses a 7-pin data cable and a 15-pin power connector is **SATA (Serial ATA)**.

AD (Active Directory) uses **LDAP** (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) for accessing directory services data.

The correct answer is **Task Manager**. Task Manager enables you to monitor the processes, performance, and services currently running on your server and allows you to start or stop applications and background processes.

The correct answer is **A) Windows Media Creation Tool**. This tool can be used to create a bootable USB flash drive for Windows Server 2016 by downloading the ISO file and then transferring it to the USB drive.

The purpose of a child domain in Active Directory is: **B. To represent a separate entity under a parent domain** Child domains are used to create a hierarchical structure within Active Directory, allowing for different administrative policies and security configurations while still being part of the larger forest.

C) Desktop servers

The primary purpose of Device Manager in Windows Server is **B) Manage device drivers**. Device Manager allows users to view and control the hardware attached to the computer, including managing drivers and troubleshooting hardware issues.

RAID 6 offers the highest fault tolerance among the options listed. Here's a brief overview of the RAID types mentioned: - **RAID 0**: Offers no fault tolerance; data is striped across multiple drives, but if one drive fails, all data is lost. - **RAID 1**: Provides fault tolerance by mirroring data on two drives. If one drive fails, the data is still available on the other drive, but you only have redundancy for one drive failure. - **RAID

The correct answer is **Device Manager**. It is used to manage device drivers in operating systems, allowing users to install, update, or troubleshoot drivers for hardware devices.
