Pass Your Microsoft 70-640 Exam Easy!

Venomose.or everyone please... very important question arrange points in the exam questions are like damp arrangement:::>>>>....for Example if a question at Damp Order like A-B-C-D in exam be in the same order or deffrint C-A-B-D

@Catherine & Nada
When you upload a dump it's not available for download immediately. Someone from ExamCollection.com has a look at it first for approval. It's been made available every morning on weekdays. At least, that's been my experience.

It might also cause that error, because the same file has been uploaded already, but it waiting to be approved.

I have to thake the exam on thrusday. Can I use this dump to prepare it? Are the same question? Thanks

@ Nada

Thanks for your reply. Hope it works soon :)

@Venomous,

Thanks for the reply and information. I really appreciate that you take the time to respond. I will definately take more time to learn the material before doing the 70-642. I lucked out with the 70-640 by only taking 30 days to read the entire Self Paced Training Kit, do the labs and learn the dump before sitting the exam. Especially, when I do not work with most of the technologies that the exam was primarly based on.

Hats off to Luffy, but with a full-time job and kids, there just isn't 10 hours in my day to dedicate to certification prep.

@Catherine - Not sure what happened with the upload but, I tried uploading again and received the below erro. I will try again.

Initializing Progress Bar..
Progress Bar Error: Failed to find flength file

@Nada

I can't find your dump you said you uploaded..

@Nada
Almost forgot that I also used the following book: Cert Guide MCTS 70-642 Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, by Don Poulton., in case the Self Paced Training Kit didn't explain it well for me. Don makes it easy to understand.
I took two months for learning for 70-642. I'm not as focused as Luffy I'm afraid. :-)

It's great you updated this dump with clickable links! That will help people a lot.

@Nada
Congratulations with your exam!

Now, for me studying for 70-642 basically went like this:
- watch videos (Trainsignal, maybe CBT Nuggets for extra clarification)
- go through Self Paced training kit, do the exercises in a lab(!)
- go through a dump and look up the difficult questions in Technet

Doing the labs is what makes the stuff stick in my head. I can read about it, but doing it in a lab makes the difference. It's like, if you want to learn how to ride a bike, do you just read about how to ride a bike, or do you get on the bike and give it a try?

Luffy, who scored 1000 points on 70-640 had this plan for 70-642:
"my study plan 24 * 10 hours a day
i first divide the topics into small areas, just like the one that you see on Microsoft guide for certification, and i allocate certain days on preparing for the topic, sorting according to my strengths and weakness, i put more time on my weakness.
i watch nuggets, then i do labs according to nuggets, then i read self placed and do lab according to the book, if i am want to know stuff in detail i read tech net or Google it. I use dumps just to find my weakness and work on it or do more research on technet."

Good luck!

@sagar
Why do you need help? Just learn the dump. I cannot help you with that. ;-)

i have exam 26 feb can i prepare this dumps pls help me Venomous...

Pedrum,
are there questions about DNS server in the exam? Because I have problems with dns.
and about ad cs and ad fs?
Thanks

This dump is valid, score 815.

Thanks Venomous.

Venomous,

I agree with your response to Earnest Ketelo. I did not put a lot of time into the dump and only read the book once and my score was not good, just enough to pass. Had I waited another week to take the test I know that I could have done better. What I can say for certain is that had I only read the first 50 questions of the dump I would have really failed because, the questions were from different areas of the dump.

I want to start prep for 70-642 and would really appreciate if you could tell me your learning and prep strategy. Also how long you usually take to prep from when you first pickup your book or start to watch videos to test day? I think that I need more time and maybe more prep material to better understand.

Look forward to your response and thanks in advance.

Thanks to all who contributed time and knowledge to the prep files. Did the English exam this week and passed. This is still valid in Latin America. The exam was 50 questions and based on that, you will need more than 35 correct to pass.

I had about four new questions some of which were similar but, with different answers and answer options but, if you learn the material you should be ok.

I uploaded a new file (Microsoft.Pass4Sures.70-640.v2013-02-15.by.Nada.452q.vce) that I used which is basically Venomous' version 2 file but, I deleted duplicate questions, combined the smaller sets in addition to making all links clickable and added references. I also added I/Q33 which is the same as I/Q13 but, different answer and answer option that I remember.

My prep strategy was to use the Self-Paced Training Kit Second Edition R2, Virtual environment, dump and lots of Internet searching. If you are new to the material or not exposed to things like AD CS, AD FS, AD RMS, AD LDS and others, I recommend you use more material.

Good luck! Going to start prep for 70-640 and hope to do exam in 40 days.

@Earnest Ketelo
I feel that one gets from this dump what you put into it. Meaning, that if you'd take one day to go through it (or only learn the first 50 questions), you shouldn't expect to get a high score. (Unless you know everything that is required to know, of course.)

If you really learn it by heart your score will reflect that, even if this dump may not be 100% correct. There are frequent reports of people scoring over 900 points, a couple of 1000 points even. But it's a large dump, and even I forgot a few questions when I took the exam. ;-)

All the best.

@Arjen,
Nahh you can study just the first 50qs, the rest of the world we are idiots studying 470qs

Dear Ham,

I got the exam next monday! I studied CBT Nuggets and the book so i got some knowledge for this exam. I want to study this DUMP. Were the the questions spread of all the different parts of the dump? Or can i focus on just Exam C or something like that.

Thanks

Congratulations guys for passing ! How and what did you study ? You have studied all the exams? In the your test was a specific exam i.e A B C e.t.c. exam from the dumps or selection from the pool? Is valid in Cyprus? anyone who can help

Still valid in the Netherlands passed with a score of 800+

Did yesterday failed not sure it valid in UK as the paper had different questions maybe a few from this dump

Passed exams 792 yesterday, this dump is very valid - all 50 questions came from this dump. Looking at my score, evidently there are questions answered incorrectly in this dump.

I pass the excam today with 84% and i had just 2-3 new qs. I pass the excam in GERMANY.

Hi, I'm wondering this dump is recomanded in uk just need your help, many thankx

@geek
It's easy to get 70-642 dumps. Just go here:
http://www.examcollection.com/70-642.html

venomous i need 70-642 dumps can u arrange it for me

Thanks to Lolo and Ssuper2K , thank you very much.
Ssuper2k I will send you an email .

Passed yesterday with score 815. Valid in Spain. Just one new question but I don't remember it.

Keep calm and study a lot!!

Luis from Spain, take your exam in English, it's an advice. I think Spanish exam is like "español-latino".

Sherry,

While I understand what you are saying, here is how I see the current answer "the permissions of the Group1 group". While we need to grant the "Allowed to Authenticate" permissions FROM the resource itself (Server1), what we are actually doing is modifying "the permissions of the Group1 group" and granting the Group1 group the "Allowed to Authenticate" permission to the resource.

We are not modifying "the permissions OF the Server1 computer account" but rather modifying "the permissions OF the Group1 group" ON the Server1 computer. Like many here I am not 100% certain.

@sherry and ssuper2k
I think you can make a strong case for answer D there. If this is to be included in a new dump it will have to be by someone else this time. This really was my last upload. I'm already past 70-642 and currently learning for 70-646. :-)

I've been examined with msft 10 times, 9 times in English, once in Spanish -by mistake-, and it took me almost twice the time to read the qs, and I nearly failed. (exam 292 in y2004)
There were NO new qs at all, but translations weren't so good.

Not again.

(puedes contactarme en ssuper2k arroba gmai lol punto com)

ssuper2K
Will you take the test in english or Español?
I don't know if take it in English or Spanish.I think that the translation is good .or not? Do you know something about it?
Thanks

I meant, 'Allowed to Authenticate' permission, is a permission ON the server (not an attribute), (ACLs)
[img]http://mcpmag.com/images/0903mcp_secadvisor3.jpg[/img]

I agree with sherry,

The 'OF' can be a bit confusing, but you definitely don't change anything about the group, (you GRANT something TO the group by changing ACLs of a Server)

If fact, you need to change an attribute of the server (enable: Allowed to Authenticate), and then the ACLs OF/ON(means the same here) THE SERVER

So for me, permissions OF the server, IS CORRECT. (D)

Well here we go. It is called permissions on the resource. So, in my opinion, the answer is definitely D.

"Security groups. User rights can be applied to groups in Active Directory while permissions can be assigned to security groups on member servers hosting a resource. For more information, see Group types."
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772808%28v=WS.10%29.aspx

Venomous, if it is "selective" authentication you have to modify the settings of the resource object in order for the group/user to access the resource. You are not modifying the permissions of the group itself. You are allowing the group to access the server by modifying the object. Poorly written IMO by saying "permissions". You don't change the permissions of the Group1 group as that would have no affect. The one providing the resources has to allow Group1 to access via adding Group1 to the server, i.e. giving it permission. At least that's how I see it. You know way more than me :-)
---------------------------------------
Example:
Step 5:

Create a universal group on Microsoft.com domain and add some users who want to access resource on techpeople.com

clip_image037

Step 6:

On techpeople.com, add the above universal group into a Domain Local sales group . We can only add users from other forest only to a Domain Local security group.

Now, Users in Microsoft domain will be able to access resources in Techpeople.com.

http://winadmins.wordpress.com/tag/creating-forest-trust-in-windows-2008/

@sherry
Regarding question K10,
I know there are more people who feel the answer should be D. It might well be one that needs to be corrected. If someone can get a good explanation on why, backed up with references, it could end up in a new dump.

@for_non_English_speakers:
Did/do yo take your tests in English, or in your mother tongue?

I ask it, because translated exams, usually update their qs much much later.

Unfortunately, for me is almost unbearable to take an exam translated.

@Gman
Regarding question B7,
In cases like this just ask yourself, "who needs to trust who?" Suppose you need access to my house. In that case I need to trust you before I let you in.

Same here. The users from labs.eu.contoso.com needs access to resources in eng.na.contoso.com. This means that eng.na.contoso.com needs to trust labs.eu.contoso.com. So, the direction of the trust goes from eng.na.contoso.com to labs.eu.contoso.com.

This link might make it easier to understand:
Understanding Trust Direction
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731404.aspx

Your network contains two Active Directory forests named contoso.com and fabrikam.com. Each forest contains a single domain. A two-way forest trust exists between the forests. Selective authentication is enabled on the trust. Contoso.com contains a group named Group 1. Fabrikam.com contains a server named Server1. You need to ensure that users in Group1 can access resources on Server1. What should you modify?
A. The permissions of the Group1 group
B. The UPN suffixes of the contoso.com forest
C. The UPN suffixes of the fabrikam.com forest
D. The permissions of the Server1 computer account.


The answer given is A. I read the logic on this but I still think it is D because you are modifying the permissions of the server1 computer object .

Section B Q7

Shouldn't the answer be D Setup a shortcut from labs.eu.contoso.com to eng.na.contoso.com.. and not C nacontoso to eu.comtoso?

Section B Q7

Shouldn't the answer be D Setup a shortcut from labs.eu.contoso.com to eng.na.contoso.com.. and not C nacontoso to eu.comtoso?

Thank You Venomous . Passed with a score of 864. All questions from this dump.

Valid in dubai

I took the exam today. This dump is 75% valid in South Africa.

There is about ten to fifteen new questions that are not in this dump.

A lot of them are from the section of certicates services and about four are from the roles and services section.
But if u studied this dump, not just cram answers u should be able to pass.

All the best.

Sarius,
I would say yes, you do have to study A to L. Especially, if your intension is do well on the test. Then again that depends on how well you know the material. The questions in A to L were compiled over time and from the post here there appears to be a handful of new questions which are not in this dump but not enough for concern if you learn the reasons for the answers in here. It can be very time consuming but if you allocate an hour a day and start from A in a few days you would have completed all. What I did was to keep a spreadsheet and list all of those that I get wrong on the first try and focus on those in my second attempt.

Additionally, I have deleted around 10 questions that were almost identical and in my opinion were just taking up time. Hope this helps!

Hi Everyone,
I plan on sitting this exam later this week and came across questions D39 and H7 which are exactly the same question. However, the answers are slightly different. Does anyone know if this is a typo and which would be the correct answer should the real exam have this question with both possible answers?

I'm leaning toward the answer in H7 after viewing the information in this link:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc961746.aspx

BUT then I saw this:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc785254(v=ws.10).aspx

The question is:
Your network contains an Active Directory forest. The forest contains two domains named contoso.com and woodgrovebank.com.

You have a custom attribute named Attribute1 in Active Directory. Attribute1 is associated to User objects.

You need to ensure that Attribute1 is included in the global catalog.

What should you do?

D39 has the answer as: "From the Active Directory Schema snap-in, modify the properties of the Attibute1 class schema attribute. "
H7 has the answer as: "From the Active Directory Schema snap-in, modify the properties of the Attribute1 attributeSchema object."

Ssuper2k,

Thank you! Geez when I reread it after your response it was clear. I don't know why I thought the answers raised the functional levels of the domain and forest. I appreciate you clearing that up for me.

Dump is valid in USA! Just took a few hours ago in southwest USA

This test is a 100% Valid, I took it about three hours ago and passed with a 815.

I took the test in Arkansas. I wanted to post to attest that this is a great test bank.

Thank You Venomous!!

@sherry:
You're not raising any domain/forest there,
just preparing forest scheme and the domain to understand R2 (the new server)
Forest and domain levels, remain 2008 (NOT r2)

I apologize if this has already been answered or is obvious and I just am not seeing it!


Your network contains a single AD domain. The domain contains 5 RODCs and 5 writable DCs. All servers run Windows Server 2008. You plan to install a new RODC that runs Windows Server 2008 R2. You need to ensure that you can add the new RODC to the domain. You want to achieve this goal by using the minimum amount of administrative effort. Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two).

A. At the command prompt, run adprep.exe /rodcprep
B. At the command prompt, run adprep.exe /forestprep
C. At the command prompt, run adprep.exe /domainprep
D. From Active Directory Domains and Trusts, raise the functional level of the domain
E. From Active Directory Users and Computers, pre-stage the RODC computer account.

Answers are B and C

Why? Why do both the forest and domain levels need to be raised? Shouldn't just the domain level be raised as there are still 2008 domain controllers in the forest? Why do you have to raise both?

Just did the exam in the Netherlands. Definately got some new stuff but overall reading the book + going trough all the questions at least once got me 77%

thanks , Commando for your guides and its link!
It sounds good..

Bye and thank you very much.

Does anyone know if andswer 'D' to question B/Q37 is a typo? It says "domain controller Company _SRV5" but in the table it states that Company _SRV5 is a File and Print server

Company has a single domain network with Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and Windows 2008 servers. Client computers running Windows XP and Windows Vista. All domain controllers are running Windows server 2008.

You need to deploy Active Directory Rights Management System (AD RMS) to secure all documents, spreadsheets and to provide user authentication.

What do you need to configure, in order to complete the deployment of AD RMS?

A.Upgrade all client computers to Windows Vista. Install AD RMS on domain controller Company _DC1
B.Ensure that all Windows XP computers have the latest service pack and install the RMS client on all systems. Install AD RMS on domain controller Company _DC1
C.Upgrade all client computers to Windows Vista. Install AD RMS on Company _SRV5
D.Ensure that all Windows XP computers have the latest service pack and install the RMS client on all systems. Install AD RMS on domain controller Company _SRV5
E.None of the above

Gratz David, I'm also from the UK got my exam in a week and I'm worrying as I'm so not good with exams..

Studying this dump hard hope I get loads of questions from the dump

Thanks for this dump. Passed the exam today, Thank God.
Most questions were from this dump.

thank u mr Venomous
this dump is still valid in Iraq. iam pass with 792/1000. Thanks much Venomous

Passed today ... Score 815 .. Thanks Venomous

Hello everyone,

Just wondering, how logn did it take you guys to remember the questions? I've got my exam this friday coming so I'm trying to study hard at remembering and understanding these questions

Try these tutorials if you dont understand DNS or most of the AD stuff

http://itfreetraining.com/70-640/index-70-640/

Valid in MKD, with few new questions ! Failed again.

I have always problems with the DNS servers , because I don't work with these servers, someboby knows a good guide to understand the Dns?
Thanks

Good luck. I will take it the next day 27th.I have studied the book during several months and I have done the exercises in Virtual Machines. But a lot of questions are traps.so I 'm doing this dump.

I was gonna take it today in Madrid, but then an interview came up.

So gonna book it for next friday (the only day they do exams where I go)

Will post results here, but it seems 90-95% of exam qs are from here, maybe a few answers wrong yet. check google when not sure.

A good dump indeed.

Already studying for 642.

Passed today in Bangkok - everything from this dump except 2 or 3 new questions -

thanks, venomous!

Has anybody taken this exam twice?.. I failed 32 out of 50 and needed 35 to pass.. Most of the questions for the exam came off this dump.. If I studied it harder, would the re-write incorporate these questions?

This dump is still valid in Singapore. Passed with 836/1000. Thanks much Venomous

@Danny
The operative word here is MINIMIZE.

Domain Admins vs. Enterprise Admins
============================
Many people have asked me this question on "What is the difference between an Enterprise Admin and a Domain Admin group in an Active Directory environment?" for an example the Enterprise Admin group have complete control of the entire forest (all the domains in the forest) where as the Domain Admins have access only to their specific domain.

http://akfash.wordpress.com/2008/08/30/domain-admins-vs-enterprise-admins/

Thanks a lot for this dump, venomous - I'm scheduled to take the exam here in Bangkok, Thailand tomorrow - I'll let you know how it goes!

Hi,
I have a question about Q45 on Exam D.
I thought that you have to be member of Enterprise Administrators to change the SCP, because you change that setting in the configuration partition.

But the correct answer according to this test exam is Domain Admins, I don't understand why.
Perhaps I just interperted the question wrong.?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION 9

Your network contains a single Active Directory domain. Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) is deployed on the network.
A user named User1 is a member of only the AD RMS Enterprise Administrators group.

You need to ensure that User1 can change the service connection point (SCP) for the AD RMS installation.

The solution must minimize the administrative rights of User1.
To which group should you add User1?

A. AD RMS Auditors
B. AD RMS Service Group
C. Domain Admins
D. Schema Admins
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dump valid in India. 4 new questions and passed today with 815 marks. Thanks to Venomous.

this dumps is still valid in india i got 800 marks thank you venomous

This dump is valid. Passed today with a 900. Only two new questions. Thanks a million!

@ssuper2k
Regarding J12:
Ah, I understand what you're asking. Well, in a way you're right, the domain functional level cannot be lower than the forest functional level. True, but there's no "raise the functional level of the domain to Windows Server 2008 R2" action listed in the possible actions list. So we don't have to worry about that in this question. I guess they should have listed it, but they didn't.

So, that gives us:

1. Run adprep /forestprep on the schema operations master.
2. Run adprep /domainprep on the infrastructure master in each domain.
3. Upgrade all of the domain controllers in the forest to Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
4. Raise the functional level of the forest to Windows Server 2008 R2.

The following actions are not needed:
- "Upgrade only the domain naming master to Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1)."
That would make no sense as we need to upgrade all domain controllers to raise the forest functional level.

- "In each domain, upgrade only the primary domain controller (PDC) emulator to Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1(SP1)."
Again, that would make no sense as we need to upgrade all domain controllers to raise the forest functional level.

@venomous:
I get that you canNOT upgrade a forest to r2 with a single DC not being r2 already.
But my qs was, if you can upgrade forest to r2, without all the domains first, at r2 level, cause the answer doesn't say yo have the domains upgraded, just the DCs, and then the forest.

Exam J, Q12:

@Venomous, thx for the explanation! Indeed you are totally rights and too bad of the laptop :-P I thought MS maybe thought of this questions that you need to change something on the group or on the computer. Because in this example you need to change something of the computer, so I would go for the computer account.

FYI: Dump is valid in Belgium! Passed with 925 today.

Thanks again for the help!

@Sven
Regarding K10, I emphasized the word "of", because I had a discussion with someone about it in another thread. When you give permissions to a group, isn't that the same as changing permissions of the group? If I give you a laptop, don't I change your list of posessions? (Now don't get excited, I'm not giving you a laptop ;-) ) At least, that's how I interpret it. :-)

So when I see "modify the permissions of the Server1 computer account" I interpret it as changing the permissions of the computer account itself, not changing the permissions of Group1.

@Nada
Apart from the questions Aliyah listed, I have cleaned the dump up. I have removed the [Ruud] thing, have removed the references to original questions (as a result I had to edit one or two answers, I believe). Changed a few light things, like adding numbers to some references, deleting spaces, and the like. Don't ask me which questions, I honostly don't remember! :)

@ssuper2k
It's important to run adprep /forestprep before you run adprep /domainprep. And you cannot upgrade to domain level 2008 R2 when all your servers are running Windows Server 2008.

Passed today 875

-Stub zones are for separate DNS namespaces.
-Create a NS record of the DC on the DNS server, might allow replication for them, but you'd still need to add the zone there (as secondary)
-Conditional forwarder to all forest's DCs should work, though a delegation seems better.
So I'd go with C

Had this question on exam
Your network consists of an Active Directory forest that contains two domains. All servers run Windows Server 2008 R2. All domain controllers are configured as DNS Servers. You have a standard primary zone for dev. contoso.com that is stored on a member server. You need to ensure that all domain controllers can resolve names from the dev.contoso.com zone. What should you do?

A.
On the member server, create a stub zone.

B.
On the member server, create a NS record for each domain controller.

C.
On one domain controller, create a conditional forwarder. Configure the conditional forwarder to replicate to all DNS servers in the forest.

D.
On one domain controller, create a conditional forwarder. Configure the conditional forwarder to replicate to all DNS servers in the domain.

which one is it?
Think that I had it wrong

Sam, use v3 of the app vis cert exam suite.
Geek, go to the 642 page: http://www.examcollection.com/70-642.html
Nada, thanks, I realised mount is just ntdsutil, still not as ldap srv
-----------------------
---------------------------------------------
Exam J, Q12:
-------------------------------
You manage an Active Directory forest named contoso.com.

The forest contains an empty root domain named contoso.com and a child domain named child.contoso.com. All domain controllers run Windows Server 2008. The functional level of the forest is Windows Server 2008.

You need to raise the functional level of the forest to Windows Server 2008 R2. You must achieve this goal by using the minimum amount of administrative effort.

What should you do?

To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
.............................
These are the correct answers in order:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1- Run adprep /forestprep on the schema operations master.
2- Run adprep /domainprep on the infrastructure master in each domain.
3- Upgrade all of the domain controllers in the forest to Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
4- Raise the functional level of the forest to Windows Server 2008 R2.
--------------------------------------------------
Now my doubts:
Isn't it required to upgrade all domain level to r2 first?
Does it matter if we first adprep /forestprep and then domainprep?

Thanks

hey Venomous i am unable to open the file my exam suite saying i need the older vserion of engine to open the file can u send me the link of the software in which i can open that

Passed today with 900 score. Thank u Venomous and everybody for contributing to this dump and for your help. 3 new questions, and the questions were mixed. Again try to understand the and don't just memorise.

Just noticed that question B26 & 42 are identical questions.
You have a domain controller that runs Windows Server 2008 R2. The Windows Server Backup feature is installed on the domain controller.
You need to perform a non-authoritative restore of the domain controller by using an existing backup file.
What should you do?

Ssuperk
The question states "You need to ensure that you can query the snapshot by using LDAP." The steps to achieve this would be to use Ntdsutil.exe to mount a snapshot and use dsamain.exe to export the data in order to make it available to LDAP server.
Since the question states "You mount an Active Directory snapshot" the next step before it can be available to the LDAP server is to use dsamain.exe and perform an export.
Here is a good example and explanation. Hope this helps.
http://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/general/active-directory-snapshots-with-windows-server-2008/

Some of them ask about NLB and IIS etc - are some of the questions actually from different exams?

Thanks Aliyah

I think I see the difference between 'mount' and 'expose':

*Ntdsutil* snapshot is a new operation that allows you to create, delete, list, mount, and unmount snapshots of AD DS and AD LDS data

*Dsamain* allows you to expose snapshots as LDAP servers.

--- So we guess the 'mounted' it with ntdsutil, and the database wasn't still 'exposed' as an Ldap server .??. It's the only sense I can give it ..

Hi Venomous and all who contributed to this.

I think we also need to correct H13:
-------------------------------------------------------
Your network contains an Active Directory domain. All domain controllers run Windows Server 2008 R2.

You mount an Active Directory snapshot. <<<<<-----------------------

You need to ensure that you can query the snapshot by using LDAP.

What should you do?
--------------------------------------------
Your answer is

A: Run the dsamain.exe command.

.BUT the database is ALREADY mounted, we just need to check or query
so, for me, the correct answer would be:

J: Run the dsquery.exe command.

.. I'd appreciate explanation if you don't agree.

Hoping to take this one next friday . in Spain..

See ya.

See the first entry in this thread by Venomous:

I (re-)corrected the following questions:
E02,11,12
F31
G37
K14,32

There are some cosmetic corrections in a few questions (J06,K02), and also a new question! (L16)

Venomous

Are you able to provide me with the exact changes that were made in your version 2 upload? I ask because, I have put a lot of time into adding links and explanations in your original file and I do not have the time to do so in the new file.

Dumps 100% valid in INDIA Passed Exam today with 900 Marks. 2-3 new questions. & options are jumbled.

@Dreamer: Thanks for the explanation, it's clear to me now.
I also have another question regarding to Exam F, Q29: Could you please explain the chosen solution, because I can't get my head around.

I understand that you need to add the delegation record in the contoso.com zone so that accounts in contoso.com also can resolve items in eu.contoso.com, but why is it necessary so that all the domain controllers in the forest host have a writable copy of _msdsc.contoso.com

Why does there need to be created an active directory-integrated zone for _msdsc.contoso.com? I thought that it was always added when you integrated DNS with AD? How come that the _msdcs is under contoso.com and not seperate like I have always seen it? How do you create this zone then?

Thanks for the explanation!

Many thanks for this dump I just passed and got 950 there were 2-3 new questions. I used Self-Paced TK, Sybex Mastering AD and CBT Nuggets.

@Sven
I think answer should be to configure GC servers in both sites. I claim that according to Sybex book there are few infos about UGMC:
"Universal group membership caching is not meant for sites with large user populations, nor is it meant to be used where applications need to access a GC server. A maximum of 500 users is supported using this caching method. Also, the cached data are updated only every eight hours. If you are planning on performing group-membership changes on a regular basis, your users may not receive those changes in a timely manner. You can reduce the time frame for updating the cache, but in doing so you will be creating more replication traffic on your WAN link. Make sure you weigh the trade-offs before you decide where you will place a GC server."

Of course we do not have info about amount of users in question but again in Sybex book there is wrote about GC that we should consider to configure GC for sites if about 100 users are authenticate per site. Another thing is when we used UGMC we do not have "high availability". And the last thing which I noticed in topic about UPN there is not any suggestions that we should use UGMC to authenticate users with UPN rather we should use GC with UPN

@Venomous: Ignore Exam Q, Q18, it's correct. You have to be connected to a writable domain controller. Missed that in the explanation! Good job!

@Venomous: Thanks for your reply and the effort you are putting in it. I checked it here with some collegues and they told me to put a GC in the branch offices (like the answer in your dump).
But the question states there are 3 domains in which caching the universal groups would also help (like the exam prep states). If there was only 1 domain would this make a difference, because universal groups provide only an advantage when using multi domain? Interesting link: http://www.omnisecu.com/windows-2003/active-directory/what-is-universal-group-membership-caching.htm

Exam G, Q18 needs to be C. The explanation of the answer is correct, but the wrong answer is chosen for the rating.

Thanks again! Goed gedaan! (Good job ;-) )

@Sven
Interesting observation regarding the unreliable WAN link. I will look into it, but that won't be until tomorrow evening. Maybe someone else would like to say a few words on this as well.

@Adnan
Study v2, the one with 469 questions.

@ben
Don't know if it's valid or not in Nigeria. You don't have much of a choice, because these dumps are all we have. If in doubt, try to learn not only this dump, but also other study materials (books, videos, Technet). Good luck!

@ Venomous

thank you in advance for help
tell me which one to study this one or the other one with 468 question

i m going to give my paper on 12 feb and i am from pakistan

Hi Venomous,

first of all thanks for your uploads. I am going for my first certification and this one is preparing me a lot for this. I want to learn the materials, so when I am wrong with the questions I go search for a solution.

I think I may have found 2 possible errors in this dump. Can you or someone please look over it and explain it a little bit more?

EXAM K, Q39
I think this answer would be F: Enable Universal Group Membership caching in Site2 and in Site3.
Because of the fact that in the question it states "Unreliable WAN links" and this is in fact saying that replication is a concern. Looking at page 575 in the 70-640 exam prep it states:
If every domain controller is a GC ser ver, this problem will not arise. However, if replication is a concern, and if you have, therefore, chosen not to configure a domain controller as a GC ser ver, you can facilitate successful logon by enabling universal group membership caching (UGMC).

Also: Exam K, Q10: Could some please tell me more about the given explanation? I am a little bit confused about the use of "of" could be the solution. Because the permissions of Group1 don't need to be changed, but they have to be given the permissions.

When I open the properties of the computer/user object and I select a group on wich I want to set permissions, at the bottom it states: Permissions FOR group.
So I think that MS intended that you need to change the permissions OF the computer account FOR the user group.

Hopefully someone could answer these questions and change the dump. thanks again for your efforts!

@Bertha@SA
Before you click on the Begin button you're looking at a screen containing some information. Basically it's a kind of history of the dump file. Who worked on it, what was changed in a new version and so on.

When you see "fixed answers: C31" it means that I fixed (corrected) the answer for questions C31.

Bottom line: ignore the information screen if it confuses you, just click the Begin button and trust the green answers (when you click the Show Answer button). :-)

Hi venomous,in the beggining of the exam before u click 'begin' there are fixed answers what are there for and how do they help?please help.

Passed today with version 1 of this dump. Know your material. B score hi 80's to mid 90's on these tests and know the material. Thanks for the assistance.

Hi Venomous. Thank you for all your help on this site.

I didn't read the Q properly and was thinking of the answer from the Windows 7 perspective.. Tricky Q..

Thank you for the explanation.

@Poseidon
Wecutil.exe is the Windows Event Collector utility that, as the name implies, runs on the computer that collects events from other computers. We would need to run wecutil on the Windows 7 computer that collects the data from the domain controllers, but not on the domain controllers themselves.

WinRM (the Windows Remote Management command-line tool) configures a computer to accept WS-Management requests from other computers. That's what we have to run on the domain controllers, as is asked in the question.

Here's some short info:

@Catherine
You will most likely pass if you know nothing of Windows Server 2008 and only learn this dump and get it 100% in your head. Only thing that would make it exciting is the number of questions that you get that are *not* in the dump. I got two or three, a colleague of mine got 12, some get no new questions at all.

Hello, On exam E, Q49, Item 14,

Your Network contains an Active Directory domain that contains five domain controllers.

You have a management computer which runs windows 7.

From the windows 7 computer, you need to view all account logon failures that occur in the domain.

The information must be consolidated on one list

Which command should you run on each domain controller?

The answer given is winrm.exe quickconfig. Should the answer not be wecutil.exe qc? Please help me to understand

If i studied and studied this dump only and got 100% of thr questions right all the time do you think I have a high chance of passing the exam? Or you think I should read the press book?

Thanks

@Venomous Thank you and thank you for this exam.

@Hamada
The way I see it is this:
Right now administrators cannot specify the litwareinc.com suffix when they create a new user using ADUC. So, to make the litwareinc.com suffix available to them we need to add it to the UPN suffixes in the forest. The only tool listed that we can use for it is Active Directory Domains and Trusts.

Try the scenario in VMWare or any other virtual environment and you'll see it works like a charm. :-)

@Frank
It won't be just one of these exams in the dump. Expect to see your exam questions to be randomly picked from all these 469 questions. Quite likely you'll see some new questions as well, but most will be from this dump.

Exam L - Q 16
I think the answer should be D: Active Directory Users and Computers
because we want to specify UPN not to create new one
in creation, we use Active Directory Sites and Service
but in specification, we use Active Directory Users and Computers and add the UPN in the user account proprties

@Farry
About a month ago someone from Pakistan passed the test. You should do fine with it.

@ASH
Currently I'm going through these, kind of side by side:

v2012-12-16.by.brn888.348q.vce.file.html
v2012-09-20.by.cramjunkie.379q.vce.file.html

The first is by a guy named Bruce. He uploaded a populair one (71 votes), then updated it, naming it brn888. The second one has also many votes, so I decided to have a look at that one as well.

They seem to be ok. Be sure to check the answers, seems there are a few (just a few) mistakes.

@ manoj can you still remember some of the questions in the exams? like the drag and drop question. Thanks

today i got 900 out of 1000.. Thanx venom.. This dump valid in india

Thanks for the dump Venomous. Great work. You're a rock star man!

@asper No, there are no simulations *like* CCNA. The questions are essentially scenarios put in question form that you have to deduce the answer from, but not simulations in the context of CCNA.

Got 950 using this dump..thanks all!

hope to write this exam end of jan now or beginning of feb ..hope all is in order now venemous been following ur tracks since the beginning of ur last dump thanks for all the hard work

@venomous geat dump thanks got 925, any suggestion on which dump to use for 70-642

Thx !!! I scheduled this exam again, with this dump in background.. :-)

Gr8 Effort @Venomous . . . m gonna study this dump. . .

@Venomous
Thank you very much for your hard work on this dump.

Much appreciated.

Based on the responses to the first Venomous dump, I created Venomous_v2! Improved, better taste!

Too bad they dropped my v2 suffix.. Anyway..

So, what's new?

I (re-)corrected the following questions:
E02,11,12
F31
G37
K14,32

There are some cosmetic corrections in a few questions (J06,K02), and also a new question! (L16)

Cleaned it up a bit, and also removed references to the original answers from the FixedAnswers dump, in order to avoid confusion. You can always check the list of corrected answers on the description page in the dump.

Many thanks to Luffy, 'confused', Camel73 and Wesley for their contributions! It's much appreciated!

This will be my last upload for 70-640. Any future corrections are up to the community! :)

Good luck!
