Case Study No: 1, JUST TOGS
Background:
Just Togs is a clothing retailer that has been in business for eight years. Last year's total sales for all retail stores
were $240 million. After tremendous growth during the past eight years, the clothing business has slowed in its
existing retail stores.
Organization:
Headquarters:
Headquarters is located in San Jose, California. Headquarters employs 80 people. Twelve of these employees
are in the IT department.
Retail Stores:
Retail stores are located in California. There are 50 employees at each retail store
Problem Statement:
President:
Our old business model relied on expansion by building new retail stores. However, expansion takes time, and
the area served by a single retail store is limited. The only way to rapidly increase sales is to build a Web site.
This site would allow customers from across the United States to buy our clothing.
IT Director:
We have three major areas of concern. First, we must ensure that the information on our Web server can be
modified only with proper authorization and that the information is distributed only to those authorized. We
also want to be informed when someone accesses data on the Web server. Second, information must be secure
as it travels from the customer's computer to our server. We must prevent user IDs, passwords, and financial
information from being intercepted as this information travels to our server. Third, information that customers
download must not damage their software or violate licensing agreements.
Our IT department will be expanded to include a Webmaster, who will administer the Web site, Web
developers who will write code for the Web pages, and Web authors who will create the Web content.
Marketing Director
We have developed an ActiveX control that customers will be able to download from the Web site. Customers
can use this control to display different sizes of clothing on a 3D model. They can customize the model with
their measurements. They can then dress the model with our clothes to show how the clothes will fit and select
the correct size.
When people first view our Web site, they will be considered visitors. After visitors enter their name and
address and receive an ID we will consider them customers.
From our Web site, we must include a method for the customer to view our clothes and place selected items in a
shopping basket. We will need a checkout function that allows the customer to enter shipping and billing
information. This should include the customer's name, address, phone number, and credit card number. This
information, including the customer's ID and password will be stored in a database.
When customers revisit our site, we will be able to identify them automatically by their ID and password. They
can then view the status of their orders or place additional orders. We should also let customers know that they
are connected to the Just Togs Web site.
The entire transaction should be logged. The information will be stored in a transaction-tracking file. This file
will contain credit card numbers and other confidential customer information. The transaction-tracking file will
allow us to bill the customer and to provide information for our customer service employees if problems arise.
Customer Service Director:
All customer service employees must have access to customer information. This includes customers' personal
information, such as name, address, phone number, and account number.
Existing IT Environment:
Headquarters:
Headquarters has four Windows NT Server 4.0 computers. The remote access server is named JTRAS. The
primary domain controller is named JTDC1. The other two servers are used to run applications.
Retail Stores:
Each retail store has two Windows NT Server 4 0 computers. One server controls all cash register functions.
The second server handles inventory and word processing functions and has a dial-up connection to
headquarters. All retail stores use TCP/IP. Each office has its own user account for dial-up access. This
connection is used to transmit daily sales and merchandise orders to headquarters.
Connectivity:
All computers in the headquarters LAN are connected through a 100-Mbps connection. Each retail store is
connected to headquarters through a WAN through a 56-Kbps dial-up connection.
Envisioned IT Environment:
Headquarters:
The existing Windows NT Server domain controller will be upgraded to Windows 2000 native mode, and a
single forest will be created. The envisioned placement of servers is shown in the exhibit. Click the exhibit
button.
A DMZ will be set up between the public and private network. In addition, Just Togs plans to add six new
Windows 2000 Server computers. A Web server named JTWEB will be multi-homed. A server named JTDEV
will be used by programmers to develop the Web content. A server named JTDATA will contain all customer,
inventory, and order information. This information will be stored in Microsoft SQL Server databases. A server
named JTVPN will be used as the VPN server. JTDC2 will be a new domain controller.
The company wants to eliminate its remote access server and allow the retail stores to submit their data over the
Internet through a VPN.
Retail Stores:
The hardware and software at the retail stores will remain the same.
Connectivity:
The WAN and LAN bandwidth will remain the same.
Just Togs, 10 Questions
QUESTION 1
Which audit policy should you use to detect possible intrusions into the Just Togs network?
A. Success and failure audit for process tracking
B. Success and failure audit for privilege use
C. Success and failure audit for policy change
D. Success and failure audit for logon events
Answer: D
Explanation: Audit Account Logon Events records information about any attempt to log on to a computer or
server to gain access to the network. By auditing success and failure, we will record all attempted logons
whether they are successful or not. This information can be used to determine which user accounts are being
used to attempt to access the network.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Process Tracking audits applications and records information about the actions that a particular
application performs. This information can be used to determine which files and registry keys an
application requires access to. It cannot be used to detect possible network intrusions.
B: We can audit Privilege Use to record information about when a user exercises a user right, such as
changing the system time, or any time an administrator takes ownership of a file. This can be used to
trace an intruder's actions once the intruder has access to the network but it will not aide in detecting a
potential intrusion.
C: We can audit Policy Change to record events in which changes to the local policies are brought about
through Group Policy. Audit for Policy Change does not record information that can be used to detect
possible network intrusions.
QUESTION 2
Which type of CA should you use to digitally sign the ActiveX control?
A. Enterprise subordinate CA
B. Third-party CA
C. Enterprise root CA
D. Stand-alone root CA
Answer: B
Explanation:
When an application that requires certificates runs on a public network, such ActiveX controlls that run on the
internet, you should use certificates from Third-Party Cas. The use of a third-party certificate increases
customer trust in the application. Consumers may not trust a small or unknown organization when that same
organization issues the certificate for the Web site. Third-Party CAs are managed by companies such as Entrust
or Verisign.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Enterprise CAs are integrated with Active Directory and publish certificates and CRLs to Active
Directory. They use certificate template information, user account information, and security group
information that are stored in Active Directory to approve or deny certificate requests. For a certificate
request to be approved, the user that requests the certificate must have Enroll permissions granted by the
security Access Control Lists of the certificate template for the certificate type that is requested. When a
certificate is issued, the enterprise CA uses information in the certificate template to generate a
certificate with the appropriate attributes for that certificate type. Therefore Enterprise CAs can only
issue certificates for users that have user accounts in Active Directory.
Furthermore, we can create a hierarchy of CAs. The CA at the top of a hierarchy is referred to as a root
CA and the CAs below the root are referred to as subordinate CAs. The root CA is a very important
point of trust in an organization as all certificates flow from the root. It issues its own certificate and the
certificates for its subordinate CAs. We should therefore take the root CA offline once the subordinates
have been granted certificates. The subordinates would then respond to certificate requests.

certificates for its subordinate CAs. We should therefore take the root CA offline once the subordinates
have been granted certificates. The subordinates would then respond to certificate requests.
D: Unlike Enterprise CAs, Stand-alone CAs does not require Active Directory and does not use certificate
templates. Instead all information about the requested certificate must be included in the certificate
request. By default, all certificate requests submitted to stand-alone CAs are held in the Pending Queue
until the CA administrator approves them. We can configure stand-alone CAs to issue certificates
automatically but this would represent an increase in security risk and is usually not recommended.

QUESTION 3
Which audit policy should you use on JTWEB?
A. Success and failure audit for process tracking
B. Success and failure audit for object access
C. Success and failure audit for logon events
D. Success and failure audit for directory service access
Answer: B
Explanation:
According to the IT Director, Just Togs wants to ensure that the information on their Web server can be
modified only with proper authorization; that the information is distributed only to authorized users; and that
Just Togs be informed when someone accesses data on the Web server. The information or data on the Web
server are called objects. We would thus want to Audit Object Access. By auditing successful and failed object
access, enteries will recorded to a log when a user attempts to gain access to a file or folder. However, the
administrator must configure which specific files and folders should be audited.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Process Tracking audits applications and records information about the actions that a particular
application performs. This information can be used to determine which files and registry keys an
application requires access to. It cannot be used to log attempted file and folder access, for this we
should audit object access.
C: Audit Account Logon Events records information about any attempt to log on to a computer or server to
gain access to the network. By auditing success and failure, we will record all attempted logons whether
they are successful or not. This information can be used to determine which user accounts are being used
to attempt to access the network, however, we need to audit access to a Web server and not the network
in this scenario. We therefore cannot use Audit Account Logon Events.
D: Audit Directory Service Access is used to record information whenever a user gains access to an Active
Directory object. To log this type of access, we must configure specific Active Directory objects for
auditing. Active Directory provides the directory service in a Windows 2000 network. It stores
information about network resources and makes the resources accessible to users and applications by
uniquely identifying resources on a network.
QUESTION 4
Which methods should you use to identify and authenticate existing customers on the Web site?
A. SSL, NTLM logon, and database validation
B. SSL, anonymous logon, and CHAP
C. SSL, NTLM logon and CHAP
D. SSL, anonymous logon and database validation
Answer: D
Explanation:
By implementing Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol we can protect secure areas of the Web server as SSL
encrypts all data transferred between the customer on the public network and the Web server.
We have no control over which operating system the customers will use to access the web site. We therefore
cannot use Kerberos authentication as Kerberos is only supported on Windows 2000 and UNIX clients.. We
cannot use NTLM either since it can only be used within a domain. We must can use anonymous login.
Furthermore, the customer's ID and password are stored in a database. We can therefore validate the customer's
logon credentials against the information stored in the database.
Incorrect Answers:
A: NTLM logon can only be used within a domain, not on a web accessed by external customers from the
Internet.
B: We would also not use the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). CHAP sends the
password and a challenge from the server through a hashing algorithm. The recipient identifies the user,
obtains the password from the directory, and performs the same hashing algorithm against the challenge
and password. If the results match, the user is authenticated. CHAP authentication requires that the
user's password be stored in plaintext or in reversibly encrypted format at the domain controller for
comparison purposes. When this attribute is set, the storage of the plaintext password format doesn't take
place until the user changes the password after the attribute is enabled. In this scenario the logon
credentials of the customers are stored in a database and not in plain text or on the domain controller.
C: We would use SSL to secure the website and NTLM for logon purposes. We would however not use the
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). CHAP sends the password and a challenge from
the server through a hashing algorithm. The recipient identifies the user, obtains the password from the
directory, and performs the same hashing algorithm against the challenge and password. If the results
match, the user is authenticated. CHAP authentication requires that the user's password be stored in
plaintext or in reversibly encrypted format at the domain controller for comparison purposes. When this
attribute is set, the storage of the plaintext password format doesn't take place until the user changes the
password after the attribute is enabled. In this scenario the logon credentials of the customers are stored
in a database and not on in plain text or the domain controller.
QUESTION 5
How should you authenticate visitors to the Web site?
A. Authenticate visitors to an anonymous account
B. Authenticate visitors by requiring them to enter their user ID and password
C. Authenticate visitors by using cookies
D. Authenticate visitors that place an order as new or existing customers
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to the Marketing Director, when people first view the Just Togs Web site, they are considered
visitors. After they enter their name and address and receive an ID they are considered customers. In other
words new visitors to the Just Togs Web site would not have user credentials which Just Togs can use to
authenticate them. Therefore we should allow anonymous access to the web site.
Incorrect Answers:
B: We cannot authenticate new visitors by requiring them to enter their user ID and password as they
would not have these credentials.
C: A company with a Web site could monitor a person's use and activities while on that site. Web sites
store the information on the visitor's computers in a cookies.txt file. This information indicates that the
visitor had been at the site before and may also have an indication of what the visitor's interests are as
determined by what they have looked at previously. Cookies do not contain logon information unless the
visitor had voluntarily registered at the site before. However, these are new visitors that may not have
been to the Web site before or may be previous visitors who had not yet registered with the Web site.
We therefore cannot authenticate users by using cookies. Cookies would also not be the preferred means
of authenticating existing customers as cookies are related to the visitor's computer and not to the
specific visitor.
D: According to the Marketing Director, visitors must first acquire a user ID and password, in other words
they must first register with Just Togs before they can place orders.
QUESTION 6
Which technology should you use to securely connect the retail stores to headquarters?
A. MS-CHAP
B. IPSec
C. EAP-TLS
D. PPTP
E. L2TP
Answer: D
Explanation:
Just Togs wants to eliminate its remote access server and allow the retail stores to submit their data over the
Internet through a VNP. In addition Just Togs will be setting up a DMZ. In addition to deploying a firewall
between the public network and the the company's network that the public can gain access to, which is also
called an extranet, many companies also place a firewall between the company's private network and their
etranet to ensure the protection of the private network if the external firewall or resources in the extranet are
compromised. This configuration is referred to as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), perimeter network, or screened
subnet. PPTP is supported by Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 remote access
clients. PPTP uses MPPE to provide encryption of the transmitted data. MPPE can use 40-bit, 56-bit, or 128-bit
encryption keys. However, we must configure the firewall to allow the PPTP packets to pass through the
firewall.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP). MS-CHAP increases security by
dropping the requirement to store the user's password in a plaintext format at the domain controller. MSCHAP
creates the challenge response by passing the challenge and the user's password through the
Message Digest v4 (MD4) hashing algorithm rather than the MD5 algorithm. Because the algorithm is
well known, MS-CHAP is also vulnerable to dictionary attacks if short passwords or passwords that are
found in a dictionary are used. MS-CHAP uses Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE) Protocol to
encrypt all data transmitted between the remote access client and the Network Access Server (NAS).
B: IPSec tunnel mode uses Encapsulated Security Payloads (ESPs) to encrypt all traffic passing between
the VPN tunnel endpoints. The original IP packets are encrypted within the IPSec tunnel mode packet as
they are transmitted across the unsecured network. The data is decrypted when it reaches the endpoint
nearest the destination computer. We can use IPSec tunnel mode as a VPN solution if we need to
provide secure interoffice connectivity with third-party firewalls, routers or gateways that do not support
L2TP/IPSec or PPTP VPN tunneling technology. However, IPSec does not provide user authentication,
it only provides machine authentication. It therefore only supports network-to-network connectivity and
does not support client-to-network VPN access..
C: Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) provides two-factor authentication by using devices such as
smart cards to provide network credentials. It uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure the
authentication process. However, EAP requires that both the remote access client and the NAS run
Windows 2000 and that a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is deployed to provide certificates for both the
Network Access Server and the remote access clients. In this scenario the Retail Stores will retain their
Windows NT 4.0 Windows NT 4.0ver computers. We therefore cannot use EAP to connect the connect
the retail stores to headquarters.
E: L2TP can provide both client-to-server and server-to-server access. However, L2TP does not include an
encryption mechanism and therefore requires IPSec to negotiate a security association between the two
computers using the L2TP tunnel. Furthermore, L2TP cannot pass through a firewall.
QUESTION 7
Which authentication protocol should you use to secure the VPN connection from the retail stores to
headquarters?
A. EAP
B. PAP
C. SPAP
D. MS-CHAP
Answer: D
Explanation:
Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP) does not require that the user's password
be store in a plaintext format on the domain controller. Instead MS-CHAP creates the challenge response by
passing the challenge and the user's password through the Message Digest v4 (MD4) hashing algorithm. This
algorithm is, however, well known and is vulnerable to dictionary attacks if short passwords or passwords that
are found in a dictionary are used. MS-CHAP should therefore be used in conjuction with password complexity.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) provides two-factor authentication by using devices such as
smartcards to provide network credentials. It uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure the
authentication process. However, EAP requires that both the remote access client and the NAS run
Windows 2000 and that a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is deployed to provide certificates for both the
Network Access Server and the remote access clients. In this scenario the Retail Stores will retain their
Windows NT 4.0 computers. We therefore cannot use EAP to connect the connect the retail stores to
headquarters.
B: Although Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) is supported by almost all dial-up network services
and consequently offers the most flexibility among the authentication protocols. It is not the most secure
as PAP sends the user password as plain text. Therefore PAP is not recommended for networks that
require security.
C: Shiva Password Authentication Protocol (SPAP) uses a reversible encryption method supported by
Shiva remote access servers and Windows 2000 remote access servers. The encryption algorithms are
stronger than those used in PAP, but SPAP does not provide protection against server impersonation.
QUESTION 8
Which changes should the retail stores make to Support the VPN connection?
A. Configure the connection type to dial in to headquarters. Use L2TP over IPSec to communicate with
the VPN server.
B. Configure the connection type to dial in to the ISP. Use L2TP over IPSec to communicate with the
VPN server.
C. Configure the connection type to dial in to the ISP. Use PPTP to communicate with the VPN server.
D. Configure the connection type to dial in to headquarters. Use PPTP to communicate with the VPN
server.
Answer: C
Explanation:
In this scenario the Retail Stores are currently configured to use the Remote Access Servers (RRAS) to access
the network at Headquarters. The Remote Access Servers (RRAS) are to be eliminated and replaced by VPN.
VPN differs from RRAS in that an existing IP connection, usually to an ISP, must exist before we can establish
a VPN connection, which is a tunnel that runs over an existing network connection while RRAS uses a modem
to dial into the server itself. We must therefore configure the computers at the retail stores to dial-up to an ISP.
In addition, Just Togs will be implementing a DMZ, which is a firewall that is placed between the private
network and the extranet. We therefore require a secure connection that can pass through a firewall. PPTP,
which is supported by Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 remote access clients, uses MPPE to provide
encryption of the transmitted data and can pass packets through the firewall.
Incorrect Answers:
A: A VNP requires the presence of an existing IP connection exist before we can establish a VPN
connection, which is a tunnel that runs over an existing network connection. VNP is not used to dial-up
directly to the host server. Instead it tunnels through an existing IP network, such as the Internet. This
method is used to reduce the cost of creating the connection as it allows us to dial up to a local ISP and
connect to the server at Headquarters through the Internet, thus replacing long distance phone calls from
remote Retail Stores. Furthermore, Just Togs will be setting up a DMZ, which is a firewall that is placed
between the private network and the extranet. L2TP however cannot be used to transmit network traffic
through a firewall. We should thus use PPTP instead.
B: A VNP requires the presence of an existing IP connection exist before we can establish a VPN
connection, which is a tunnel that runs over an existing public network such as the Internet. We would
therefore need to dial-up to an ISP before we can establish a VPN. However, Just Togs will be setting up
a DMZ, which is a firewall that is placed between the private network and the extranet. L2TP cannot be
used to transmit network traffic through a firewall. We should thus use PPTP instead.
D: A VNP requires the presence of an existing IP connection exist before we can establish a VPN
connection, which is a tunnel that runs over an existing network connection. VNP is not used to dial-up
directly to the host server. Instead it tunnels through an existing IP network, such as the Internet. This
method is used to reduce the cost of creating the connection as it allows us to dial up to a local ISP and
connect to the server at Headquarters through the Internet, thus replacing long distance phone calls from
remote Retail Stores. Just Togs will be implementing a DMZ, which is a firewall that is placed between
the private network and the extranet. We therefore require the use of PPTP, which is supported by
Windows NT 4.0 computers used in the retail stores, and can pass network packets through the firewall.
QUESTION 9
Answer:
Explanation:
We need to secure network communication between customers and the Just Togs Web site which is hosted on
the JTWEB server. This network communication is across the Internet therefore we should use SSL to secure
this communication.
The JTWEB server is a server located in the domain at Headquarters. There would therefore be a trust relation
between JTWEB and the Domain Controllers at Headquarters. Consequently, we only require the TCP/IP
connection within the domain.
Just Togs will be eliminating the Remote Access Server at Headquarters and will replace it with a VPN server
named JTVPN. The Retail Stores will then connect to Headquarters via a VPN Tunnel.
The JTVPN server is also a server located in the domain at Headquarters. There would therefore be a trust
relation between JTVPN and the Domain Controllers at Headquarters. Consequently, we only require the
TCP/IP connection within the domain.
QUESTION 10
Answer:
Explanation:
We need to secure network communication between customers and the Just Togs Web site which is hosted on
the JTWEB server. This network communication is across the Internet and must pass through an external
firewall. We would therefore use SSL to secure this communication between the Customers and the JTWEB
server through the External Firewall.
JTWEB is part of the Just Togs extranet. In other words it is part of the Just Togs network that the public has
access to. Just Togs wants to set up a DMZ. A DMZ is a firewall that is placed between the extranet, JTWEB in
this scenario, and the private network. Although customers require access to the JTDATA server, which holds
the Just Togs database, we would want to place JTDATA in the private network to reduce its vulnerability
should the external firewall be compromized. Therefore the Internal Firewall will be placed between JTWEB
and JTDAT
A. JTWEB and JTDATA are part of the same domain and are not connected via the Internet. We
would therefore connect these servers via TCP/IP
Case Study No: 2, HIABUV TOYS
Background:
Hiabuv Toys is an electronic toys retailer that owns and operates retail stores throughout the United States.
Hiabuv Toys buys popular electronic toys directly from manufacturers in bulk quantities and resells these
products to the public at discounted rates.

marketing, IT, legal, accounting, Human Resources, and executive departments. It employs 4,500 people. The
annual growth rate of employees at headquarters is 20 percent.
Retail Stores:
Hiabuv Toys has retail stores in 350 locations around the United States. Each retail store employs 50 to 100
people, Hiabuv Toys is scheduled to open 50 retail stores each year. The company plans to open a retail store in
Casablanca, Morocco.
Service Centers:
Hiabuv Toys has service centers in 15 locations around the United States. Each service center employs 100
service center technicians and five managers..
Existing IT Environment:
WAN Connectivity:
All stores and service centers are connected to headquarters by 128-Kbps lines. This connection is backed by a
56-Kbps dial-up connection.
LAN Connectivity:
All headquarters buildings are connected by T1 lines.
Computers:
There are 4,500 Windows NT Workstation computers, and 150 Windows NT Server computers located at
headquarters. The Servers are used as application servers and file servers. One server named SALES1 is used as
a backup domain controller. It runs Internet Information Services (IIS), and is in the SALES domain. Only
domain controllers and applications have shared resources.
Human Resources has a server named HR1. All connections to this server must be encrypted.
Each store has 30 Windows 2000 Professional computers and two Windows NT Server computers. One for a
primary domain controller for the local domain, and the other is a backup domain controller.
Each service center has 30 Windows 2000 Professional computers and one Windows NT Server, which is a
backup domain controller.
Network:
The company's Internet domain is named hiabuvtoys.com. On the internal network, the private IP address is
172.16.0.0. All computers use TCP/IP. At headquarters, the Windows NT Servers use static addresses and the
Windows NT Workstations use DHCP.
Static addresses are used for all retail stores, and service center computers.
Envisioned IT Environment:
WAN Connectivity:
The Casablanca retail store will have a LAN with a 64-Kbps Internet connection and a 64-Kbps connection to
headquarters.
LAN Connectivity:
The LAN bandwidth will remain the same.
Computers:
The company will upgrade to a Windows 2000 network with one Active Directory tree and two domains
sharing the same namespace. Hiabuv Toys wants to design a directory service that allows for some autonomy,
and wants to ensure that business units can be added, removed, or changed without undue overhead. The
SALES1 server will not be upgraded. It will be replaced with a Windows 2000 Server after all other computers
are upgraded to Windows 2000. After this server is replaced, the network will run in native mode. The legal
department will have its own Windows 2000 Server named LEGAL1. The department will implement a secure
private network between LEGAL1 and HR1.
Network:
The physical network will not change. The company wants to create one account domain for headquarters, and
one account domain for its retail stores. The Casablanca retail store will have a help desk employee located
onsite
to perform end-user application support and to resolve hardware issues.
Security:
Authorized remote users should be able to access shared resources at headquarters through secure tunneling.
Confidential documents should be sent internally in a secure manner. Hiabuv needs to accept transmission of
confidential information from manufacturers in a fast, easy, and reliable manner. No training should be
required. The company wants to implement a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
Network Roles and Usage:
Information Technology:
The IT department administers user and computer accounts for the company. Strong passwords are not
implemented. Users at headquarters have access to e-mail and the Internet. The IT department is divided into
three groups: the WAN group, the LAN group, and the Internet group. The LAN group manages user accounts,
oversees the LAN, the Windows 2000 Servers and domains and the retail store servers. The WAN group
oversees the WAN. The Internet group oversees Internet security and connectivity. Each group has a different
manager. Communication and agreement among the groups is poor. The Internet group wants autonomy within
the Active Directory.
Sales and Marketing:
The sales and marketing department uses the network to exchange e-mail and download information from
manufacturer and competitor Web sites. It works with more than 1,000 manufacturers. The department needs to
receive information from new manufacturers and to verify their authenticity securely. The sales and marketing
department needs to access the retail stores for sales history information. They require color printing, and
depend on portable computers to access information regardless of their location.
Legal:
The legal department needs to copy confidential documents to shard folders for the Human Resources
department, the executive department, and the company's law firm.
Retail Stores:
The cash registers run Windows NT Workstation. Cash registers boot with a generic logon for cashier access.
The cash registers do not contain any data. Store managers have Windows 2000 Professional desktop
computers, with e-mail and unlimited Internet access. Each store also has five secured Windows NT
Workstation computers for employees to browse pre-approved Internet Web sites. Each store has three public
kiosks. Customers can use kiosks to register for gifts or place orders. The kiosks automatically boot with and
authenticate to a secured generic account.
Service Centers:
Each center uses unique logon names for access to the network. Each center technician has access to e-mail and
the Internet.

A forest is a collection of domains that share a common schema, configuration, and global catalog. All domains
in a forest are connected using transitive trust relationships. In this scenario the forest will consist of a single
tree that comprises two domains: one for headquarters and the other for the Retail Stores. Furthermore, Hiabuv
Toys opens 50 new stores each year. Each store employs 50 - 100 people. We would thus have to design a
forest that makes allowance for the expansion in terms of new user accounts for the additional staff employed at
the Retail Stores that are opened each year.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Kerberos is the default protocol for authentication in a Windows 2000 network environment. It is used
pervasively in Windows 2000. In other words you do not need to install or initiate it. Kerberos
authentication protocol allows a single logon to access all network resources. This allows a fast, single
logon to network services within a domain and to services residing in trusted domains as Kerberos
verifies both the identity of the user and of the network services, thus providing mutual authentication.
B: Security at the Store Registers is adequate. The cash registers boot with a generic logon for cashier
access and do not contain any data. Store managers have Windows 2000 Professional desktop
computers, with e-mail and unlimited Internet access. Each store also has five secured Windows NT
Workstation computers for employees to browse pre-approved Inter-net Web sites. Each store has three
public kiosks. Customers can use kiosks to register for gifts or place orders. The kiosks automatically
boot with and authenticate to a secured generic account.
D: In the envisioned IT environment, the legal department will have its own Windows 2000 Server named
LEGAL1. The department will implement a secure private network between LEGAL1 and HR1. There
would thus be a secure private connection between two servers and would not have an impact on the
design of the forest.
QUESTION 2
Which server or servers provide the least security for user access?
A. Retail store servers
B. Service centers servers
C. SALES1
D. HR1
E. LEGAL1
Answer: C
Explantion:
SALES1 is the least secure server. It is a Windows NT 4.0 server machine that is used as a backup domain
controller (BDC). A BDC is used for logon authentication. SALES1 also runs Internet Information Services
(IIS) and will not be upgraded. Thus SALES1, which can be used for logon authentication, is connected to the
Internet. It is thus vulnerable to attacks on the internet as are logon authentication requests that pass across the
Internet.
Incorrect Answers:
A: In the existing network, the Retail Stores have two Windows NT Server computers. One is a Primary
Domain Controller for the local domain, and the other is a Backup Domain Controller. Addition the
store managers have Windows 2000 Professional desktop computers, with e-mail and unlimited Internet
access; and each store has five secured Windows NT Workstation computers for employees to browse
pre-approved Internet Web sites. The servers at the Retail Stores are thus not connected to the Internet.
Furthermore, these servers will be upgraded to Windows 2000 servers.
B: Each service center has 30 Windows 2000 Professional computers and one Windows NT Server, which
is a backup domain controller. Unlike SALES1, the Server Centers' BDCs are not used to access the
internet. In addition these servers will be upgraded to Windows 2000 servers.
D: The Human Resources department has a server named HR1 that is located in the domain at
Headquarters. All connections to this server will be encrypted.
E: In this scenario the legal department needs to copy confidential documents to shard folders for the
Human Resources department, the executive department, and the company's law firm. The legal
department will have its own Windows 2000 Server named LEGAL1 and will implement a secure
private network between LEGAL1 and HR1.
