Prepare for your Lotus Domino server exam

The following is tip #15 from "Managing Lotus Domino servers -- 15 tips in 15 minutes," excerpted from Chapter 14 of the book Lotus Notes and Domino 6 System Administrator Exam Cram 2, published by Sams Publishing.

Question 1

A. ID Modifier
B. ServerModifier
C. Server ID Moderator
D. Mod_Ser_Complete

Answer B is correct. To recertify a server ID, the administrator must have either Author access to the Domino directory and the ServerModifier role assigned or Editor access to the directory.

Question 2

A. Domino.Agent
B. Domino.IMAP
C. Domino.POP3
D. Domino.SMTP.POP4

Answers A, B, and C are correct. Valid selections available when setting up activity logging include Domino.AGENT, Domino.IMAP, and Domino.POP3.

Question 3

A. Circular
B. Distributed
C. Decentralized
D. Hybrid

Answers B and D are correct. The three valid configuration types to access the Domino Directory are Distributed, Centralized, and Hybrid.

Question 4

A. While transactional logging is enabled, normal system backups are not required.
B. Transactional logging is available for all versions of Domino running version 4.6.3 or later.
C. Transaction logging requires database ODS version 5 or later.
D. Any user can run transaction logging on their personal mailbox to conserve disk space.

Answer C is correct. Transaction logging is available for Domino servers running release 5 or later and databases using release version 5 or later ODS.

Question 5

A. Add the line SECURE_ADMINSTRATOR_LOGIN=1.
B. Encrypt the NOTES.INI file with private key encryption.
C. Delete the Catalog task from the Server@Run list.
D. Add the line SECURE_DISABLE_FULLADMIN=1.

Answer D is correct. Adding the line SECURE_DISABLE_FULLADMIN=1 in the Notes.ini file tells the server to ignore the Full Administrators field in the Domino Directory and explicit access for full administrators will need to be defined in database and applications.

Question 6

A. Spiral
B. Circular
C. Linear
D. Metrical

Answer C is correct. Linear transaction logging is similar to circular logging, but can use more than 4GB of disk space.

Question 7

A. ACTIVITY.NSF
B. COLLECTION.NSF
C. ACTIVITYSTAT.NSF
D. ACTIVITY.LOG

Answer A is correct. The default database name used for activity logging is ACTIVITY.NSF.

Question 8

A. Password quality is selected by choosing radio buttons with preset levels defined.
B. The strongest password selection has a value of 15.
C. Values are set using a slide bar.
D. A value of 0 signifies no password is defined.

Answers C and D are correct. Password quality is set using a slide bar to determine the quality of password security to assign to the ID file. The default location of the slider is to the extreme left, which is no password and a value of 0. Sliding the bar to the extreme right forces a very strong password and a value of 16.

Question 9

A. Automation of server tasks
B. Mail routing
C. Database replication
D. File purging

Answer A is correct. Server tasks can be automated in one of two ways, either by assigning them in the Notes.ini file to run when the server starts or by creating a Program document.

Question 10

A. Provide communications channels to IIS servers.
B. Allow java code to run on the system.
C. Generate SMTP mail.
D. Regulate Web server authentication.

Answer B is correct. The IIOP protocol allows java code to run on the Domino server.
