70-292 Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment for a W2K MCSA 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. DNS is running on member server named EliteCertify -SR10. IIS 6.0 is installed on a member server named EliteCertify -SR25. Multiple EliteCertify.com Web sites are hosted on EliteCertify -SR25. You receive instructions to create two new Web sites named Offshore and Onshore. You add the necessary host records on EliteCertify -SR10. These records map the offshore. EliteCertify.com and onshore. EliteCertify.com Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) to the IP address of EliteCertify -SR25. You decide to test whether you can successfully access all content on the Offshore and Onshore Web sites. You discover though that you cannot connect to either of the new Web sites. You are directed to the Default Web Site. In IIS, you notice that the IP address, TCP port numbers, and host header name is configured the same for each new Web site. You suspect that this is the issue preventing you from accessing any of the new Web sites. You need to ensure that all users can access the two Web sites through their Web browsers. You do not want to interrupt access to the Default Web site. What should you do? Choose three correct answers. Each correct answer presents a complete solution to resolving your issue. Choose three answers.

A. Assign a unique IP address to each of the new Web sites.
B. Restart IIS.
C. Start each Web site manually.
D. Assign a unique host header name to each of the new Web sites.
E. Assign a unique port number to each of the new Web sites.
F. Enable Anonymous access for each of the new Web sites.


Display Answer

Answer: A, D, E

Explanation: The primary method used to host multiple Web sites is to assign a unique IP address to each Web site. You can alternatively assign a different port number for the Web site while using the same IP address, or you can assign unique host headers on a single IP address. Because EliteCertify -SR25 is running IIS 6.0, you can host more than one Web site on that server. Each of the Web sites is identified by the following parameters: IP address, TCP port, Host name header. At least one of these parameters has to be unique for each Web site, i.e. each specific Web site must be assigned a unique combination of the three parameters. If any two Web sites have the same combination of the three parameters, one Web site is stopped. You need to modify at least one of the three parameters for the new Web site. You can a unique host name header for both of the new Web sites, providing the host name header is mapped to the proper IP address in DNS. Other solutions would be to assign a unique IP address to each of the new Web sites, or to assign a unique port number for each Web site. If you choose to assign a unique port number for each Web site, then you need to ensure that all client computers use the correct port to connect to each Web site Incorrect answers: B. Restarting IIS would result in one of the new Web sites starting and the Default Web site not starting. C. You would be unable to start either one of the new Web sites this way. F. Enabling Anonymous access will result in anyone being to access the Web sites. It will not enable you to host several Web sites on a Windows Server 2003 computer running IIS 6.0
