Question 15

HOTSPOT -

Your network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest named contoso.com. The forest contains a child domain named east.contoso.com.

In the contoso.com domain, you create two users named Admin1 and Admin2.

You need to ensure that the users can perform the following tasks:

✑ Admin1 can create and manage Active Directory sites.

✑ Admin2 can deploy domain controllers to the east.contoso.com domain.

The solution must use the principle of least privilege.

To which group should you add each user? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct Membership in the Enterprise Admins group in the forest or the Domain Admins group in the forest root domain,

MR_Eliot

Correct Answer: Box1: Contoso\Domain Admins -> Tested this, domain admin can manage sites & site links for the current domain & child domains. Box2: Contoso\Enterprise Admins -> Tested this, domain admin cannot enroll domain controllers to child domains. You will need to be an enterprise admin. -> Also, admin 2 user is not a user in child domain, so therefore you will still need to make admin 2 a member of "Contoso\Enterprise Admins" group.

Why not, Enterprise Admins? It's important to follow the principle of least privilege when assigning permissions.This helps to minimize the potential for damage if an account is compromised. To ensure that users can perform the tasks mentioned, you must add each user to the following group: Admin1: You must add Admin1 to the ContosoEnterprise Admins group. This group has permissions to create and manage Active Directory sites throughout the forest. Admin2: You must add Admin2 to the EastDomain Admins group. This group has permissions to deploy domain controllers in the east.contoso.com domain. Just a doubt, these questions of the test are quite confusing.

In the context of Active Directory, Enterprise Admin privileges are generally not required to create domain controllers in a child domain. Enterprise Admins have higher-level permissions that extend across all domains in the forest, including the ability to manage trusts and make changes that affect the entire forest. Domain Admins, on the other hand, have the necessary permissions to manage and administer objects within their specific domain, including the ability to promote domain controllers within that domain. This includes the creation of domain controllers in child domains. While Enterprise Admins can perform tasks related to the entire forest, such as managing trusts between domains, they are not explicitly required for the creation of domain controllers in a child domain. The Domain Admin role is typically sufficient for these tasks within the scope of a specific domain. However, it's essential to consider the principle of least privilege when assigning permissions. If a user or group only needs to perform tasks within a specific domain, granting Domain Admin privileges for that domain is more appropriate than assigning higher-level Enterprise Admin privileges that provide broader access across the entire forest.

read the question carefully, Admin1 needs to be able to add sites on all the domains. Domain Admins cannot go beyond the boundaries of the domain.

Answer is correct Enterprise admin is a higher level than Domain admin

smol84

Incorrect for both demo\domain admins Domain admins have full admin controllers you can manage AD sites as well as DCs with this permission.

east\domain admins is able to modify the settings on the east.contoso.com domain, however has no rights whatsoever on the contoso domain. When you add a domain controller on the child domain, you still need enough rights to do that on the parent domain, so I would say that the least privilege needed is contoso\domain admins for both

To create domain controllers in the east.contoso domain, an admin from the contoso domain would need to be a member of the “Administrators” domain local group in the east.contoso domain(1). This can be achieved by placing the users from the contoso domain into a global group in the contoso domain, then nesting that global group into the “Administrators” domain local group in the east.contoso domain1. This adheres to the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) because it grants only the necessary permissions to create domain controllers in the east.contoso domain, without granting excessive privileges.

Vallion

Here’s why other closely related groups are not correct: Domain Admins: The Domain Admins group in the contoso domain does not have default rights on domain controllers in the east.contoso domain(2). Also, adding the admin to the Domain Admins group of east.contoso would grant them more permissions than necessary, violating the PoLP. Enterprise Admins: The Enterprise Admins group has full admin rights across all domains in the forest(3). However, this would grant the admin excessive privileges across all domains, not just east.contoso, which again violates the PoLP(2). Therefore, membership in the “Administrators” domain local group in the east.contoso domain is the most appropriate and least privilege solution. It provides the necessary rights to create domain controllers in the east.contoso domain, without granting excessive privileges in other areas.

Info gathered using co-pilot business, may contain some errors, check yourself like im doing now, never assume anything you read here is correct

sardonique

In this scenario there is 1 single forest. Domain Admins is more than enough to create sites within the root domain. John needs to be enterprise admin to create a site in east.contoso.com which is outside the boundaries of contoso.com
