Exam 70-742: Question 1 - Image 1

Group1 and Group2 contain only user accounts.

Contoso hires a new remote user named User3. User3 will work from home and will use a computer named Computer3 that runs Windows 10. Computer3 is currently in a workgroup.

An administrator named Admin1 is a member of the Domain Admins group in the contoso.com domain.

From Active Directory Users and Computers, you create an organizational unit (OU) named OU1 in the contoso.com domain, and then you create a contact named Contact1 in OU1.

An administrator of the adatum.com domain runs the Set-ADUser cmdlet to configure a user named User1 to have a user logon name of User1@litwareinc.com.

End of repeated scenario.

You need to ensure that User2 can add Group4 as a member of Group5.

What should you modify?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is 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?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is 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?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is 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.
