70-290 Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment Practice Exams

Demo Question 2.

You work as the network administrator at EliteCertify.com. The EliteCertify.com network consists of a single Active Directory domain named EliteCertify.com. All servers on the EliteCertify.com network run Windows Server 2003 and all client computers run Windows XP Professional. The written security policy requires all Web applications to be tested on a test server before they are deployed on production Web severs. To comply with this, the EliteCertify.com web development team has a designated a Web server named EliteCertify -SR23, which the team uses to test internal Web applications. EliteCertify -SR23 has the Internet Information Services (IIS) installed. To enable any web developer to access EliteCertify -SR23, the local Administrator account has a blank password specified. Clive Wilson is a web development team member. Clive Wilson complains when he attempts to test a new Web application from his client computer, he is shown an error message that states an account restriction is preventing him from logging on to EliteCertify -SR23. Clive Wilson wants to use a Remote Desktop connection to log on to EliteCertify -SR23 from his workstation, but cannot do so. What should you do? Choose two possible ways for achieving your goal. (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose two.)

A. Configure a password for the local Administrator account.
B. Instruct Clive Wilson and all other developers to use their respective domain user account to log on to EliteCertify -SR23.
C. Add all developers to be members of the local Administrator account group on EliteCertify -SR23.
D. Add all developers to be members of the Remote Desktop Users group on their client computers.

Answer: A, B

Explanation: The issue you have arose because of Clive Wilson and probably other members of the web development team using the local Administrator account of EliteCertify -SR23 when wanting to use a Remote Desktop connection to log on to EliteCertify -SR23. For security purposes, Remote Desktop Connection does not authenticate any local users that have a blank password. You can resolve this by configuring a password for the local Administrator account or by informing web developers to use their respective domain user account to log on to EliteCertify -SR23. Incorrect
