You are the systems administrator of DreamSuites Corp. The company's network consists of a single Active Directory domain. The network contains an Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 server, named IISSrv, that runs Windows Server 2008. IISSrv hosts an application named Graphics within the DreamSuites Web site, which uses a virtual directory named \\IISSrv\GFX\Logos.
You discover that the performance of IISSrv has degraded due to low disk space. You install a new file server on the network, named File1, and move the content of the virtual directory to the \\File1\DreamSuites\GFXData folder. What should you do to ensure users are able to access the content of the \\File1\DreamSuites\GFXData folder?
A. Run the Appcmd set vdir /vdir.name:"DreamSuites/Graphics/Logos" /physicalPath:\\File1\DreamSuites\GFXData command.
B. Run the Appcmd set vdir /vdir.name:"DreamSuites/Graphics/Logos" /path:\\File1\DreamSuites\GFXData command.
C. Run the Appcmd set vdir /vdir.name:"Logos" /physicalPath:\\File1\DreamSuites\GFXData command.
D. Run the Appcmd set vdir /vdir.name:"Logos" /path:\\File1\DreamSuites\GFXData command.
Answer:
A. Run the Appcmd set vdir /vdir.name:"DreamSuites/Graphics/Logos" /physicalPath:\\File1\DreamSuites\GFXData command.
Tutorial:
You should run the Appcmd set vdir /vdir.name:"DreamSuites/Graphics/Logos" /physicalPath:\\File1\DreamSuites\GFXData command. A virtual directory is a directory name that corresponds to a physical directory on the Web server. The names of virtual directories are used in URL addresses. A virtual directory allows you to include directory content in a Web site or Web application without needing to move the content physically into that Web site or Web application directory.
When you move the location of a virtual directory's content in the file system, you must also update the physical path in IIS to ensure users are able to access the content of the virtual directory. You can run the Appcmd set vdir command with the /vdir.name and /physicalPath parameters to change the path to a virtual directory's content. The /vdir.name parameter specifies the virtual path of the virtual directory. The /physicalPath parameter specifies the physical path to the content used by the application.
For example, to change the physical path to the location \\File1\DreamSuites\GFXData for a virtual directory named Logos in an application named Graphics within a Web site named DreamSuites, you should run the following command: Appcmd set vdir /vdir.name:"DreamSuites/Graphics/Logos" /physicalPath:\\File1\DreamSuites\GFXData.
You should not run the Appcmd set vdir /vdir.name:"DreamSuites/Graphics/Logos" /path:\\File1\DreamSuites\GFXData command. The /path parameter is used to specify the virtual path to the virtual directory. When you want to change the physical path to a virtual directory's content, you must use the /physicalPath parameter. The /physicalPath parameter specifies the physical path to the content used by the application.
You should not run the Appcmd set vdir /vdir.name:"Logos" /physicalPath:\\File1\DreamSuites\GFXData command. In this scenario, the Logos virtual directory is created in the Graphics application in the DreamSuites Web site. Therefore, you should specify the complete path to the virtual directory, which is DreamSuites/Graphics/Logos.
You should not run the Appcmd set vdir /vdir.name:"Logos" /path:\\File1\DreamSuites\GFXData command. In this scenario, the Logos virtual directory is created in the Graphics application in the DreamSuites Web site. Therefore, you should specify the complete path to the virtual directory, which is DreamSuites/Graphics/Logos. Also, to change the physical path to a virtual directory's content, you must use the /physicalPath parameter to specify the physical path to the content used by the application.

You are the systems administrator for your company. The company's network consists of a single Active Directory domain running Windows Server 2008 servers. Your company wants to provide smart cards to all users to log on to the domain. To achieve this, you are required to install an enterprise root certification authority (CA) in your domain. Which two actions should you perform to install an enterprise root CA?
(Each correct answer presents a part of the solution. Choose two.)
A. Install Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition on a server in the network.
B. Add the new CA to the domain.
C. Install Windows Server 2008 Standard edition on a server in the network.
D. Install Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) on a server in the network.
E. Leave the CA in a workgroup.
Answer:
A. Install Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition on a server in the network.
B. Add the new CA to the domain.
Tutorial:
You should install Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition on a server in the network and add the server to the domain. Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) provides services for creating and managing public key certificates that are used in software security systems that employ public key technologies. You can use the Add Roles Wizard to install the AD CS role on a Windows Server 2008 computer.
A CA can be an enterprise CA or a stand-alone CA. Installing an enterprise CA is appropriate if the CA is a member of a domain and can use access Directory Services to issue and manage certificates. You should install a stand-alone CA if the CA does not use Directory Services data to issue or manage certificates. When installing a CA, you can also specify whether the CA is a root CA or a subordinate CA. You should install a root CA if you are installing the first or only CA in a public key infrastructure. You should install a subordinate CA if your CA will obtain its CA certificate from another CA higher in a public key infrastructure.
