Here are some questions to help you determine if you have learned enough to move on to the next chapter. If you have difficulty answering these questions, please go back and review the material in this chapter before beginning the next chapter. The answers to these questions are located in Appendix A, "Questions and Answers."

1. List three of the items that you should check on a server before running the Active Directory Installation wizard.
2. You have installed Active Directory directory services on your corporate network and have upgraded all domain controllers running Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000. You now want to create security-type universal groups. What should you do and what console should you use to make the change?
3. You are the administrator of a network in a remote location, and the network connection from the main office to that location has failed. You find you are still able to create user accounts even though the connection has failed, and users are noticing no difference in logon speed. What would you need at the remote location for this to be possible?
4. Your company has one remote office connected by a 64 Kbps WAN link. Technical support is receiving calls from users in the remote office who are complaining that it is sometimes taking over five minutes to log on. You have configured a domain controller and a global catalog server in the remote office. What is a potential source of the problem? Describe the steps you would take to improve logon times.
5. You have three locations (A, B, and C) that are connected to a central site (D) by 128 Kbps WAN links, and another remote location (E) connected to the central site by a 256 Kbps WAN link. You create a site for each location. What site links should you create to enable replication to take place, and given only the bandwidth information about the links, what cost should be associated with each site link?
