Before taking the exam, review the key points and terms that are presented in this chapter. You need to know this information.

A domain does not recognize local user accounts, so do not create local user accounts on computers running Windows XP Professional that are part of a domain. Doing so restricts users from accessing resources in the domain and prevents the domain administrator from administering the local user account properties or assigning access permissions for domain resources. Allow Guest access only in low-security workgroups, and always assign a password to the Guest account. You can rename the Guest account, but you cannot delete it.

You should understand the guidelines for creating strong passwords. In particular, remember that a password should be a minimum of eight characters and should include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. After you delete a user account, there is no way to recover the rights and permissions associated with that user account. A better practice than deleting user accounts is to disable them until you are sure they are no longer needed.

2. Where should you create user accounts for computers running Windows XP Professional that are part of a domain

You should create it on one of the domain controllers. You should not use local user accounts on Windows XP Professional computers that are part of a domain.

3. Which of the following statements about domain user accounts are correct (Choose all that apply.) a. Domain user accounts allow users to log on to the domain and gain access to resources anywhere on the network, as long as the users have the required access permissions. b. If at least one computer on the network is configured as a domain controller, you should use domain user accounts only. c. The domain controller replicates the new user account information to all other computers in the domain. d. A new domain user account is established in the local security database on the domain controller on which you created the account.

The correct answers are A and B. C is not correct because the domain controller replicates user account information only to other domain controllers in a domain not to every computer. D is not correct because a domain user account is established in Active Directory, not in the local security database. A local user account is established in the local security database.

4. Which of the following statements about built-in accounts are correct (Choose all that apply.) a. You can delete the Guest account. b. You cannot delete the Administrator account. c. You cannot rename the Guest account. d. You can rename the Administrator account.

The correct answers are B and D. A is not correct because you cannot delete the Guest account (or any built-in local user accounts, for that matter). C is not correct because you can rename the Guest account.
