My study experience for 70-296

You are the network administrator for Litware, Inc. The company has offices in Chicago, New York, and
Toronto. Each office employs 500 people.
The network consists of a single Active Directory forest with one domain in each office. Each domain
contains two domain controllers named Server1 and Server2. All domain controllers run Windows Server
2003. Each office is configured as an Active Directory site. The domain structure is shown in the exhibit.
(Click the Exhibit button.)
The Windows Server 2003 computer named Server1.litwareinc.com holds all operations master roles for
its domain, and it holds both forest-level operations master roles. The Windows Server 2003 computers
named Server1.sales.litwareinc.com and Server1.prod.litwareinc.com hold all operations master roles for
their respective domains. WAN connectivity between the offices is unreliable.
You need to plan the placement of global catalog servers for the network. You need to ensure that each
user can log on in the event of the failure of a single domain controller and WAN connection. You need to
ensure that the consistency of universal group membership information remains intact.
Which two actions should you take? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A. Configure both domain controllers in litwareinc.com as global catalog servers.
B. Configure only Server1 in each domain as a global catalog server.
C. Configure only Server2 in each domain as a global catalog server.
D. Enable universal group membership caching for each site.
E. Enable universal group membership caching for the Chicago office.
F. Enable universal group membership caching for the Toronto office and the New York office.
Answer: C AND D
Still remember that half a year ago, one of my student John came to ask me whether it’s good to take some IT certifications such as 70-296 answers, then we had a half-day discussion with all my class! To my surprise, half of them decided to take the IT exams of Microsoft 70-296 Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment, I began to worry about their passing rate till a day they came to tell me that there is no need to worry about that! I was wondering what made them so confident. But they said, it's just a surprise for me!
