End of repeated scenario.
You need to ensure that User2 can add Group4 as a member of Group5.
What should you modify?
Suggested Answer: D

To ensure User2 can add Group4 as a member of Group5, you need to modify the Managed By settings of Group5. In Active Directory, the Managed By tab allows you to specify a user or group that can manage the members of a particular group. By setting User2 as the manager of Group5, User2 will gain the necessary permissions to add Group4 to Group5.

End or repeated scenario.
You need to ensure that Admin1 can add Group2 as a member of Group3.
What should you modify?
Suggested Answer: B

To permit Admin1 to add Group2 to Group3, the group scope of Group3 must be changed. Currently, Group3 is a universal group. Universal groups can only have universal groups or global groups as members, not domain local groups like Group2. By altering Group3's scope to domain local, it will be permissible to add Group2 as a member.

Question 5 of 266
Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com
Your company plans to hire 500 temporary employees for a project that will last 90 days.
You create a new user account for each employee. An organizational unit (OU) named Temp contains the user accounts for the employees.
You need to prevent the new users from accessing any of the resources in the domain after 90 days.
What should you do?
Suggested Answer: A

To prevent the new users from accessing any of the resources in the domain after 90 days, you can use the Get-ADUser cmdlet to retrieve all user accounts in the Temp OU and pipe the output to the Set-ADUser cmdlet to set an expiration date for their accounts. This method ensures that after 90 days, the user accounts are expired and cannot access domain resources.
