Access restricted to Domain Administrators is provided by which item?

• A. COMPOSE Tools Folder
• B. COMPOSE Administrative Tools
• C. DNS
• D. WINS

Answer: (A)

Access to domain administration is controlled by where the admin utilities live and the permissions on that location. The COMPOSE Tools Folder is a secured location that houses the domain-management consoles, and its access permissions are configured to allow only Domain Administrators to open and use those tools. Because these tools can change domain-wide settings, the system protects them by restricting who can access that folder. DNS and WINS, on the other hand, are name-resolution services and do not govern who can perform domain-admin tasks, so they don’t provide this access restriction. The Administrative Tools collection is simply a set of admin consoles, but the actual restriction comes from the permissions on the Tools Folder that hosts those tools.
