When DNS forwarding is set so that only the DNS server receiving the request attempts resolution (and not the server that forwarded the request), this is called ____ forwarding.

The ____ is a DNS resource record that provides information in response to queries about secondary DNS servers for an authoritative server and information about offsite primary servers that are not authoritative for the domain.

____, popularly called a digital modem, links a computer or a fax to an ISDN line.

____ is a modem from which communications occur in discrete units, and in which the start of a unit is signaled by a start bit at the front, and a stop bit at the back signals the end of the unit.

____ is a WAN communications technology that relies on packet switching and virtual connection techniques to transmit at rates from 56 Kbps to 45 Mbps.

____ is the most commonly used transport protocol, and so it is most typically encapsulated in a remote access protocol for transport over a WAN.

____ is a digital modem device designed for use with the cable TV system, providing high-speed data transfer.

____ was developed by IBM and the National Security Agency in cooperation with the National Bureau of Standards (now called the National Institute of Standards and Technology) as an encryption technique using a secret key between the communicating stations.

The operating system can employ ____ to bar access to an account (including the true account owner) after a number of unsuccessful tries.

Group policies are secured so that they can be changed by individual users.

RSoP ____ mode generates a report based on the current policies in place and provides the resulting policy settings.

a security specification for a hardware device that can be used to secure information on a different hardware device, such as a hard drive

a server role to complement the client applications that can take advantage of Rights Management Services safeguards

a subset of individual policies within a larger group policy for a site, domain, OU, or local computer

used to make the implementation and troubleshooting of group policies much simpler for an administrator

an Active Directory object that contains group policy settings (a set of group policies) for a site, domain, OU, or local computer

RMS information protection goes beyond access control lists (ACLs) and the Windows Firewall.

The best way to get a feel for a server's performance is to establish a ____ and then frequently monitor server performance

The ____ tab of the Task Manager shows vital CPU and memory performance information through bar charts, line graphs, and performance statistics.

The most important way to get to know your server is to use monitoring tools to establish normal server performance characteristics.

With the Performance Monitor tool, you can monitor one or more objects at a time as a way to get a better understanding of how particular objects interact.
