What should you modify?

the group scope of Group5

the Managed By settings of Group4

the group scope of Group4

the Managed By settings of Group5

Correct 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.

What should you modify?

Modify the Security settings of Group3.

Modify the group scope of Group3.

Modify the group type of Group3.

Set Admin1 as the manager of Group3.

Add Admin1 to the Enterprise Admins group

Correct 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?

Run the Get-ADUser cmdlet and pipe the output to the Set-ADUser cmdlet.

Create a group that contains all of the users in the Temp OU. Create a Password Setting object (PSO) for the new group.

Create a Group Policy object (GPO) and link the GPO to the Temp OU. Modify the Password Policy settings of the GPO.

Run the Get-ADOrganizationalUnit cmdlet and pipe the output to the Set-Date cmdlet.

Correct 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.
