1. You donīt want your server to be a potential browser

"No" at maintain browser list (in the registry)

2. Former PDC of one Domain , should be a BDC in another Domain. How to demote ?

Reinstall

3. 2 Disks of a 5 disk stripe set w. parity fail. How to restore ?

Restore from Tape (You cannot regenerate a 2 Disk failure).

4. (This was a new one for me) A printer job got jammed (the paper got stuck in the printer). You cleared the paper, but the application, which generated the printer job, doesnīt allow to reprint it. What can you do at the printer manager ?

* choose resume on the printer menu

* choose resume at the document menu

* use restart at the document menu (My choice)

* use pause printing at the printer menu

5. Your server with an UPS crashed at night. It shows only the blue screen. Same result after reboot. What do you do first ?

* Reinstall server

* Restore from backup

* Perform from emergency repair

* Boot from setup disks (my choice, because they asked what to do first)

6. You created a memory memory dump. How can you decode the data in the dump ?

* Dumpexam.exe(My choice)

* Mem.exe

* Debug.exe

* Viewnad

7. Something about two domains East and West. W trusts E. How can a user in E use a share in W ?

I thought that as kind of a tricky question, because none of the answers said something about establishing a trust the other way round. So answer was, no user of E could use a shared resource on W.

8. You have 4 disks. 1 system disk and a 3 disk stripe w. parity data set. User data is on the stripe set. The system disk fails. What to do to reestablish the server, so that user can access their data ?

* Reinstall server and use backup w. "restore registry" button enabled (My choice)

* Reinstall server and use ERD created during first installation

* Boot server and use disk admin for regenerate data passwords.

9. You have installed a new SCSI drivers, after that the server doesnīt reboot. You have no setup disks, but an ERD. What to do (choose 2)?

* Create setup disks (My choice, for rebooting the system)

* Restore reg from ERD with rdisk.exe

* Boot with ERD an recover registry

* Boot with setup disks and recover registry (My choice)

As is well known, itīs not possible to boot from ERDs.

10. There was a screenshot from the event viewer. Text says that the server hangs, you should pinpoint the most likely reason for this crash. The screenshot shows stop events categorized by NE2000, Parport, Wins, SAM, Service Control Manager. They offered:

* NE2000 (My choice)

* Service Control Man.

* Wins

* Parport

I am not sure about my answer. The fault was surely a defective net card, but is the NE2000 or the Service Control Man the event the one MS wants to hear ????

11. The usual question about which counter to use, when supecting high disk utilization on a partition on a hd. (logical device (I think)).

12. Which counter to use when looking for CPU utilization on a dual-processor machine in one chart .

(system %total processor time)

I am not absolutely sure wether I quoted the right counters !! But you know where to look, do you ;-)) ?!

13. An example of perfmon counters (thanks to Mark, I used his braindump for next 2 questions)

Exhibit:

% process time 80%

pages/sec 100.13

disk usage 100%

What should you upgrade: memory, CPU, or disk. Pick only one choice.

I think you should upgrade memory, due to the high hard page faults and disk usage (=swapping).

14. Filtering network packets. You captured about 1200 packets. You want to have a look at the packets related to IP lease. What display filter ?

* protocol == smb

* protocol == dhcp (My choice)

* protocol == network

* don't remember.

15. The usual question about what to use when creating an performance baseline for internal resources on NT. (I could only choose one, so it was "perfmon". The other choices were:

* Response Probe

* NetMon etc.

16. You have 7 PDCs, 2000 Users. Your PDC is under stress for having so many validation requests from clients. What to do ?

* Increase pulse setting in reg (My choice)

* Add more BDCs

* Increase pulse concurrency setting in reg

* Stop NetLogon on PDC

Since pulse concurrency is 10 by default, the only answer which makes sense is the first.It decreases the amount of synchronization related traffic.

17. You want to have fastest read/write acces. What to use ?

* Disk duplexing

* Disk mirror

* Stripe set with parity

* Stripe set (My choice)

I guessed that stripe set is faster than duplexing ?!

18. Ha,ha, the Caracas scenario with the 2 different solutions

a) Single domain (PDC at Caracas), which doesnīt fullfill the required result (minimize validiation traffic)(see the other dumps)

b) Single master, all O.K (I think)

19. The usual 2 fault tolerance scenario with a stripe set with and without parity. (Stripe alone = no fault tolerance)

20. The brokers scenario. As a change, MS mentioned in the scenario where you use MS encryption, that Data encryption IS enabled. Additionally there was callback enabled with user defined numbers. The 2nd scenario had the usual any authentication and a 3rd party security host.

21 You have a new NT Server without a ERD, installed and configured new SCSI devices. How can you save the config-settings for these devices in case of a server crash ?

* Copy the reg with backup (My choice)

* Save configuration with the disk administrator

* Copy reg-hives with "Save Key" in RegEdt32

* Create ERD with Rdisk.exe

I am not sure about this. Maybe the ERD would be the right answer.

22. 2 questions, which covered the "share permission overrides NTFS" I cannot recall.

23. The usual backup operators scenario in a 3 domain environment:

Scenario 1: Create global "All Backup Group", put it into newly created local (domains) Backup Group in the 3 Domains. Give the local the right "backup and restore files" -> Required O.K., Optional ( backup member server and workstations) No.

Szenario 2: Same as above plus put the "All Backup Group" into local Backup-Operators on member-servers and wkst. --> All O.K.

22. The usual " where to put logon scripts" in a one way trust environment. (On PDC of trusted domain, I think)

23. You want to create a system policy. You have user in more than one group. How can you control the different rights the user gets through his membership in different groups ?

* Create a policy files for each group

* Use domain user manage to assign which policy file is used per group

* Modify policy template to assign priority levels for each policy file

* Assign relative priority level for each group in policy file (My choice)

I think thereīs only one active policy file

24. You have users, which logon at different wkst. They want to have their custom desktop settings everywhere. How to establish ?

* Mandatory user profile

* Use profile editor. Then do nothing, the profiles will be used automatically

* Use User Manager fro domains to specify a path to the profile for each user (My choice)

* Do nothing

25. The famous London-Mexico scenario. Use other dumps.

26. The usual 200 MB Access DB question, which is accessed by 350 clients. How to configure the server service ? (Since Access is no Client/Server Application, I guessed "Maximize for File Sharing")

27.Here a new one (for me): You migrated a Novell server to NT inclusive all users, logon scripts etc. What to do, that all NW clients can access this NT Server ? I seemed to recall that the clients were MSDOS based.

* Install FTP on the NT Server

* Install MS Redirector on the client

* Install GSNW and CSNW on the NT server

* Install NW client services on all clients (My choice, I had no idea)

28. A TCP/IP network, a NT server should be configured as a router. What to install on the server that IP lease request are routed to other subnets ?

* DHCP Relay Agent (My choice)

* SAP

* RIP for IP

* RIP for Nwlink

29. The usual question about what protocol to install, if Novell Clients should use a SQL DB on NT server ?

NWink

30. The usual WWW question about the 10 companies having their homepages with 10 IP adresses on your server.
