Printing

Must

No need

  • All printer devices must be identical (Ideally)
  • Printers don’t need to be in the same location.
  • All print devices must be connected to the same print server (logical printe)
  • You don’t have to use the same printer port for multiple printer devices
  • All printer devices must use the same print driver
  • no need for all printers to use the same protocol.
   

PerfMon:

RAS and authentication

PPP & SLIP

PPP

SLIP

Fault Tolerance

 

Disk Striping w. Parity – RAID 5

Disk Striping w/o parity – RAID 0

Disk Mirroring – RAID 1

Disk Duplexing – RAID 1

Volume Set – RAID 0
#HD Min 3 disks min 2 disks, max 32 disks

Min 2 disks

 
FS Req. NTFS, not FAT Support NTFS and FAT      
FT Fault tolerance Not FT

Fault tolerance

Not FT
compare Better read performance (faster) than disk mirroring. Decrease write access performance. Req more system mem than mirror set. Using additional processor time – BT25 1 controller connects to both disks. Minimum 2 controllers, one to each disk  
BP, SP Can not be in boot or system partition Can be in boot or system partition. This is the way to fault tolerance boot drive. Can not be in boot or system partition

Questions

Answers

1 Mandatory Profile, Server down User cannot logon.
2 Install NT from CD-ROM Select all that apply – Boot to DOS, make sure dos CD-ROM drivers installed, run winnt.exe from CD, Boot from Setup boot disk.
3 Workgroup of NT NTWS. Want to install a NT Server as a PDC. Want NT NTWS to be in domain. Domain Admin to add computer acct of each NTWS using Server Manager, and, NTWS Admin to login to each NTWS
4 RAS clients keep getting disconnected Enable device.ini logging from registry.
5 RAS have 2 type of clients. Win95 and 3rd party which only recognize DES. The most secure authentication method (a. allow any authentication including clear text b. encrypted authentication c. Microsoft encrypted authentication d. data encryption) Require Encrypted Authentication, answer b. not c
6 RAS clients dial in to access Winsock program. All servers and NTWS have NETBEUI and TCP/IP. What needs to be done to allow communication? Select how RAS will assign IP address. (What IP address to assign the clients).
7 Exhibit – require clients to be able to select own method of authentication Any authentication including clear text.
8 1 PDC and 3 member servers want to speed up Logon Reinstall one member server to be BDC.
9 TCP/IP in a non-routed network. Need only IP add and subnet mask.
10 For NT to act as a router need 2 NICs, enable IP forwarding and manually assign unique IP add to each NIC
11 2 NT servers and a group of NTWS. 1 tape connected to 1 NT server, back up all machines. Backup took too long. Connect another tape drive to the other server, backup the NTWS, the original tape drive backup servers.
12 To monitor TCP/IP on 3 NT servers from NTWS Use PerfMon and must install SNMP on each server to be monitored.
13 To create share on a server from a remote client install client network tools and run server manager
14 To manage print security over the network run Windows Explorer
15 To change file permissions over the network Run Windows Explorer.
16 Printer Pool Must ensure that all printers can use the same printer driver. Incidentally they also share the same name. But they need not be directly connected to the print server.(??)
17 Printer broke down. Decided to use another network printer to finish the pending print jobs Go to the ports tab and add a logical port with a UNC path to the printer
18 DHCP server can allocate IP address automatically, what other options can it supply to clients, select all: a) mail server address b) DNS Address c) FTP Address d) Default Gateway e) Subnet Mask ?B,d,e. DHCP can assign to clients, IP address, subnet mask, Default gateway, WINS server IP add, DNS server IP add, DNS domain name, NetBIOS node type, NetBIOS name resolution.

21 After Installing GSNW, you must create a group called NTGATEWAY on Netware server  
22 To migrate from Netware to NT, you need NWLink and GSNW. However if asked what do u need to install? Install GSNW will do. NWLink comes along.
23 1 HDD. 2 partitions. 1 FAT – sys and boot partition. 2 NTFS – empty. Want to implement security on 1st partition. Don’t need to format to NTFS. Just CONVERT.EXE from command prompt. Remember if NT is running, the conversion only runs the next time u reboot the server. It converts at the blue screen and then restarts again. So the server will reboot twice to convert.
24 2 SCSI adapter 2 HDD. Want FT. Only Duplex is possible. Mirror was not among the choices.
25 3 HDD 1 adapter– Want Fastest access, Want Continue access in case 1 HDD failed. The choices were really bad – Only 2 FT choices. Duplex and Stripe set with Parity. You tell me. Stripe set with parity
26 2 SCSI adapter. Duplex mode. 1 adapter BIOS disabled. Need to create Boot Disk in case 1st adapter failed. What among the others files is required? NTBOOTDD.SYS.
27 During Installation, setup did not detect your CD-ROM. Restart the setup from the beginning and this time invoke the ‘S’ – manual selection of CD-ROM drivers.
28 Exhibit – Mirror Set, SCSI adapter. BIOS disabled. 3 partitions on each disk. What is the ARC path to the mirror?
  • Disk 0 : System | Data | Data
  • Disk 1 : Data | System ( Mirror ) | Data
Scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(2)

If BIOS enabled

multi (0) disk(0) rdisk(1)partition (2)

32 Exhibit - So and so just got promoted from engineer to consultant. Need to access certain shared folder. Rights for engineer – No access. Rights for consultant – Change. So and so is member of engineer and consultant group. Can he access? How to allow him the access? Remove so and so from engineer group.
33 Suspect excess paging is causing the performance to degrade how to confirm? Check the counter – number of pages per second.
34 Need to be notified when disk space of servers falls under 25%. From PerfMon. Not Server Manager
35 Need to alert the domain admin of any system event of the 4 domain controllers. Add each user of the domain admin to the list for each server. (Other options1.Add users to Server Operators Group (and the alerts will be sent automatically.) 2 . Start Alert Service 3. On PDC add Admin. Group to list in Server Manager )
36 Want to backup user accounts and registry when server is running? NTBACKUP
37 NetWare clients want to access MS-SQL Application on NT, what is to be install? Just install NWLink on the NT server.
38 Just created a partition on a new HDD. Want to format now. What need to be done first before u can format? Click Commit Changes Now.
39 Client with IPX/SPX cannot communicate with NT server. NT has NWLink installed. What is the most likely reason? Wrong frame type. The other choices – No access to resources, Workstation service on NT not running, …..another dubious one.
40 Exhibit – Want to replicate files to the other servers in the domain. Where to put the files? In a subdir under winnt\system32\repl\export
41 Confirm excess paging, what to do? – Add RAM
42 2 HDD. 1st one has sys and boot partition and pagefile.sys. How to improve performance? Shift the pagefile.sys to the 2nd disk.
43 4 HDD Want FT want to maximize disk space for data usage. 2 choices have FT. Mirror and SWP. But question wants maximize disk space so it’s SWP.
44 Remote monitoring 5 servers using PerfMon on your own NT NTWS. As a result your NTWS slows down dramatically. Increase the sampling interval like every 2 min.
45 Want to monitor a few servers for a week, Use LOG view.
46 To assign Home Dir Use User Manager for Domain and type in the UNC path.
47 To assign roaming user profile (for same desktop setting) User Manager for Domain and type in the UNC path.
48 Your boot sector infected. You cleansed it. Whoops…the boot sector is corrupted. Don’t fear, boot up the computer using the 3 installation disks, when prompted, press ‘R’ for repair. One of the options allows rebuilding of your boot sector.
49 Mirror failed. Got a new disk. Before u try to create a new mirror, what is the very 1st thing u need to do? Break the original mirror set.
50 1 HDD of a SWP failed. It does not contain the sys or boot partition. Got a new disk. What to do? From Disk Admin, click on the SWP, click on the FREE SPACE from the new disk and choose REGENERATE from the FT menu.
51 Install NT from MSDOS station without CDROM Boot to DOS. Connect to network share and run winnt.exe from the shared folder.
52 Very long question – basically remote NT NTWS use NETBEUI 90% and TCP/IP 10%. How to improve performance. Bind the workstation service to use NETBEUI 1st then TCP/IP in client machine not server.

57 You must configure PPP settings for TCP/IP on RAS server to access applications that support Windows Sockets do not choose "Install windows sockets interface from the media source"
58 1 controller, 3 drives 1 partition each, boot/sys file in 1 drive needs FT. choose SWP, SWOP, mirror, duplex Mirror set. cause both S can't be in 2 drives, duplex needs 2 controller.
59 Multiple disks and partitions, what to optimize page file Move away from boot and sys partition
60a Upgrade 3.51 to 4.0 select all. (A-boot using 3 install disks. B-run setup. C-boot to 3.51 run winnt32.exe. D-from dos run winnt32.exe) C. Actually the command is winnt32 /udf.

Profile

  1. Three Domain controllers, 25 NT-workstations. Mandatory roaming user profiles. The server where the profile is lying shuts down. What happens to a user who wants to log in to a workstation in the domain the first time ?will not be able to login to domain. Cause it the first time, no cache profile can get locally.
  2. I would like to explain the mandatory profile question that everybody is talking about. If the PDC goes down the users can still logon On because there are two BDC`s in the domain. The question itself explains that you have a domain with one PDC and two BDC’ Anyway, the roaming (.man) profiles that are copied on the PDC are not available , so the users receive the Default Profile. If there is no Default Profile available then the computer try to log you on with the locally cached profile.
