Annex B: (DSAC-23) STUDY GUIDE 2022| QUESTIONS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
ISO
[NOTE: not iso file] Correct Answer: International Organization for Standardization
[Ref. DS.02.01 Server Part I, page. 13]
ICMP Correct Answer: Internet Control Message Protocol
SNMP Correct Answer: Solarwinds Network Performance Manager
OSI Correct Answer: Open Systems Interconnection
OU Correct Answer: Organizational Units
DNS Correct Answer: Domain Naming System
[NOTE: "Service" in handout]
SQL Correct Answer: Structured Query Language
NAS Correct Answer: Network Attached Storage
CSVDE Correct Answer: Comma Separated Value Directory Exchange
LDAP Correct Answer: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
ADDS Correct Answer: Active Directory Domain Services
(Microsoft implementation of LDAP)
WSUS Correct Answer: Windows Server Update Services
(Updates through a management council)
GPO Correct Answer: Group Policy Object
MX Correct Answer: Mail Exchanger
RAID Correct Answer: Redundant Array of Independent Disks
LUN Correct Answer: Logical Unit Number
What are Conditional Forwarders? Correct Answer: Conditional forwarders are used in DNS in
order to allow a DNS server from one domain to locate a resource in another.
, Domain Name "Service" (DNS) Key Correct Answer: The address book used by all of your
clients and servers. DNS uses different types of records to match one type of identifier to
another. Some examples are hostname to IPv4, hostname to IPv6, and hostname to domain name.
What is an AppLocker? Correct Answer: AppLocker is an application lockdown and control
mechanism. It gives the administrator a very detailed control over which applications are allowed
to execute and which are blocked
*Storage Area network (SAN) Correct Answer: A network infrastructure designed to provide
data storage, retrieval, and replications. It involves high-end servers, multiple disk arrays, and
Fiber Channel interconnection technology. The Marine Corps primarily utilizes this type of
network in a virtual environment, which is maintained through physical servers.
Comma Separated Value Directory Exchange (CSVDE) Correct Answer: CSVDE is a command
line utility that allows you to import and/or export from a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) repository such as Active Directory. This utility only allows you to import or export
information. It will not allow you to modify or delete entries.
What does vCenter do? Correct Answer: VMware vCenter Server provides a [centralized
platform] for managing your VMware vSphere environments, allowing you to automate and
deliver a virtual infrastructure across the hybrid cloud with confidence.
Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) Correct Answer: A WSUS server provides features
that you can use to manage and distribute updates through a [management console.]
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) Correct Answer: A drive (or disk) is the basic
unit of storage for systems that use specific software to access native disk shelves. RAID is a
data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical disk drives components
into one or more logical units for the purpose of data redundancy and/or performance
improvement.
Virtual Storage Area Network (vSAN) Correct Answer: vSAN pools the locally attached storage
(physical hard drives in the server) from a vSAN-enabled cluster and presents the aggregated
pool back to all hosts within the cluster. vSAN is built directly on ESXi. There is no additional
software needed for vSAN to be functional. It has its own version of fault-tolerance that is
similar to RAID, without actually using raid.
What are the RAID levels that are the most likely to be utilized? Correct Answer: RAID 0 (Disk
Striping)
RAID 1 (Disk Mirroring)
RAID 5 (Striping with Parity)
RAID 6 (Striping with Double Parity)
RAID 10 (Striping + Mirroring)
