Identity with Windows Server 2016 — Question 183

Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com The forest contains a member server named Server1.
Server1 has several line-of-business applications. Each application runs as a service that uses the Network Service account.
You need to configure the line-of-business applications to run by using a virtual account.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. From Windows PowerShell, run the Install-ADServiceAccount cmdlet.
• B. From the Services console, modify the Log On properties of the services.
• C. From the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT), create a shim.
• D. From Windows PowerShell, run the New-ADServiceAccount cmdlet.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because modifying the Log On properties of the services in the Services console allows you to specify a virtual account for the services to run under. Option A is incorrect as it deals with installing service accounts, which is not needed here. Option C is irrelevant as shims are used for application compatibility, and Option D is also incorrect since creating a new AD service account is not necessary for running services with virtual accounts.
