Discuss GIAC GSNA Exam Topic 3 Question 88

You work as the Network Administrator for a company. You configure a Windows 2000-based computer as the Routing and Remote Access server, so that users can access the company's network, remotely. You want to log a record of all the users who access the network by using Routing and Remote Access. What will you do to log all the logon activities?

AOn the Routing and Remote Access server, enable log authentication requests in auditing, and
define the path for the log file in Remote Access Logging.

BOn the Routing and Remote Access server, enable log authentication requests in Remote
Access Logging.

COn the Routing and Remote Access server, enable log authentication requests in auditing.

DDo nothing as the Windows 2000-based Routing and Remote Access server automatically
creates a log record for each connection attempt.

Suggested Answer: B

The Routing and Remote Access service can log all the records of authentication and accounting information for connection attempts when

Windows authentication or accounting is enabled. This can be done by enabling the log authentication requests in the properties of the

Remote Access Logging folder, in the Routing and Remote Access snap-in , where you can configure the type of activity to log, i.e., accounting

or authentication activity and log file settings.

This information is stored in the form of a log file in '%SystemRoot%System32LogFiles' folder. For each authentication attempt, the name of

the remote access policy , that either accepted or rejected the connection attempt, is recorded. The logged information is useful to track

remote access usage, and authentication attempts.

I vaguely recall that Windows 2000 does log some activities automatically, but I’m not sure if that’s enough for our needs.

Xochitl 3 months ago

I’m a bit confused about whether just enabling logging in Remote Access Logging is enough. I thought auditing might be necessary too.

Charlesetta 3 months ago

I feel like I’ve seen a similar question before, and I think option A might be the right choice since it mentions defining the path for the log file.

Abraham 3 months ago

I think I remember that enabling log authentication requests is important, but I'm not sure if it needs to be done in both auditing and Remote Access Logging.
