11. B, D. The streaming database (STM), first introduced in Exchange 2000 Server, has been
removed in Exchange Server 2007. Several other enhancements have been made to stor-
age in Exchange Server 2007. Exchange Server 2007 does not interoperate with the Active
Directory Connector (ADC) or Site Replication Service (SRS) as in the previous two ver-
sions of Exchange. As a result, you can no longer directly migrate from Exchange Server 5.5
to Exchange Server 2007.
12. D. The domain partition contains all of the objects that you as an administrator are used to
working with on a daily basis. These objects include user accounts, computer accounts, and
groups. The contents of the domain partition thus are specific to each individual domain
within a forest and therefore are replicated to the domain controllers in that specific
domain only.
13. B. A failure of the schema master will prevent only schema modifications from being made
in that forest.
14. D. The Windows 2000 native domain functional level is the minimum domain functional
level at which universal groups become available, along with several other Active Directory
features; it allows for Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 domain controllers
only.
15. A. The organizational unit (OU) is a container in which you can place objects such as user
accounts, groups, computers, printers, applications, file shares, and other organizational
units. An organizational unit cannot contain objects from other domains and is the smallest
unit to which you can assign or delegate administrative authority.
16. C. The configuration partition contains all the configuration information about the for-
est, including information about Active Directory and AD-integrated applications such as
Exchange Server. As such, the configuration partition is replicated to every domain control-
ler in the entire forest.
17. D. Intersite replication occurs between domain controllers in different Active Directory
sites. Intrasite replication occurs between domain controllers in the same Active Directory
site. Sites can span domains, and domains can span sites; thus, no direct relationship must
exist between the two. Forests do not replicate.
18. B. Exchange uses a global catalog to generate address lists for usage by Exchange recipients
and also uses it to locate a recipient to aid in delivering mail items to that recipient. The
global address list (GAL) is automatically generated by Exchange Server from all recipients
listed in the global catalog.
19. D. If there are no operating Hub Transport servers in the destination site, the message will
be queued on a Hub Transport server in the site closest to the one where the destination
Mailbox server resides. The message will not be delivered until a Hub Transport server in
the destination site is available to deliver it.
20. C. Sites (and site link costs) are created and configured using the Active Directory Sites and
Services tool.
