CNIT242 Exam 3

When configuring a network printer in Windows, the raw queue is most commonly used. T/F

CPUS is commonly used to provide network print services for UNIX computers. T/F

The cost of deploying and maintaining clients will typically cost more than the original system purchase. T/F

System imaging refers to making a clone of a machine's hard drive, including all operating system and configuration files. T/F

Sysinit is a Windows utility that will clear all configuration settings. T/F

Business class computers typically have more hardware consistency through time than consumer market machines. T/F

In an enterprise environment O/S patches should be applied as soon as they are released to ensure security. T/F

Modern networking printing almost always includes the use of a printer server. T/F

A Windows Server 2008 or newer print server can be configured to automatically provide drivers to clients running any version of Windows. T/F

Multiple queues can service a single printer and multiple printers can service a single queue. T/F

The default network printing protocol used in modern Windows implementations is LPR. T/F

The two most commonly used page description languages are Postscript and HPLC. T/F

The two main services in DFS are namespaces and replication. T/F

The server containing the actual files being shared is called the namespace server. T/F

DFS can only refer a client to a single target. T/F

Active Directory is required to implement a DFS namespace. T/F

DFS replication can be configured to use only limited bandwidth and to sync only during specific times. T/F

Key reasons to implement DFS include reducing the need for future configuration changes and making it easier for users to find shares and files. T/F

If a DFS target is available at multiple sites in an Active Directory environment the servers must be explicitly configured to ensure clients access files on the local server. T/F

The top level "share" in a DFS namespace is called the DFS Root. T/F

WSUS is a solution that allows a sys admin to control automatic updating of Microsoft software.
T/F

Software can be pushed to Windows clients using group policy. T/F

Client software management solutions use a client/server model. T/F

A computing model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction."

NIST defines five essential characteristics, three service models and four deployment 4 models of Cloud Computing. T/F

NIST definition of Cloud Computing Essential Characteristics is...

Users do not need knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the infrastructure in the cloud. T/F

Software and data are stored on centralized servers and accessed over a network connection. T/

Virtualization is NOT a key component to these hosted services. T/F

Cloud Types

Cloud Services

Software, hosted by a provider, that is designed to run in a web browser (or other thin client) over the internet.

Software as a Service (SaaS) is not usually subscription-based and delivered on-demand. T/F

Software as a Service (SaaS) Typically only requires a web browser on the customer side (No custom software or installation). T/F

Delivers a development environment to app developers as a service over the cloud (Includes storage, computing power and networking).

For Platform as a Service (PaaS), Apps are built to run on the providers infrastructure and delivered to users via SaaS. T/F

Platform as a Service is not constrained by the provider capabilities. T/F

Allows the customer to provision resources (processing, storage, networking, etc.) on an as-needed basis

In Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), access to the resource is metered. T/F

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), a customer does manage the infrastructure but can control the resources provisioned and related software/hardware. T/F

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) allows an organization to "stitch" together storage, memory, I/O, and CPU capacity to create virtual servers or virtual datacenters (Rackspace.com, Amazon, etc.). T/F

In this cloud deployment model...
- Clients and service providers are separate entities
- Clients subscribe to services provided by the provider
- The provider, theoretically, services multiple clients and
likely has options for different CC options

In this cloud deployment model...
- The infrastructure is owned and operated solely for a single organization
- Cloud services are provided for an organization's employees or business units
- Usage may or may not be metered and billed back

In this cloud deployment model...
- Shared by multiple organizations all supporting a single community with shared concerns
- May be managed by the organizations or a 3rd party

In this cloud deployment model...
- Any combination of clouds (public, private, community)
that remain unique entities but are bound together through the use of technology that enables data and
application portability
- Sometimes used for Cloud Bursting

Cloud Computing benefits include....

Reliability, lack of control, and security are issues with Cloud Computing. T/F

Security is the biggest issue with Cloud Computing. T/F

It is not sufficient to consider
only the potential value of moving to cloud services. Agencies should make risk-based decisions which
carefully consider the readiness of commercial or government providers to fulfill their Federal needs. This is referring to...

Based on growing the cloud from the inside out: building an internal cloud, then migrating to an external cloud as the market matures and security and privacy concerns are addressed.

Sequence of instructions telling a program to do something.

Written in a scripting language

Includes client-side and server-side scripts.

Programming languages with limited functionality and/or "easy" syntax.

Some of these are associated with an application in which scripts run (VBScript, Jscript) while others are "general purpose" (Perl, Python, Tcl).
