Securing Windows Server 2016 — Question 6

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains 100 servers.
You deploy the Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) to the network.
You deploy a new server named FinanceServer5, and join FinanceServer5 to the domain.
You need to ensure that the passwords of the local administrators of FinanceServer5 are available to the LAPS administrators.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. On FinanceServer5, register AdmPwd.dll.
• B. On FinanceServer5, install the LAPS Windows PowerShell module.
• C. In the domain, modify the permissions for the computer account of FinanceServer5.
• D. In the domain, modify the permissions of the Domain Controllers organizational unit (OU).

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because registering AdmPwd.dll on FinanceServer5 is necessary for LAPS to function properly and manage the local administrator passwords. Option B is incorrect as installing the PowerShell module does not directly relate to the server's password management. Options C and D pertain to permissions but do not address the requirement for LAPS to operate on the specific server.
