1.Pause the printer 2.Open the printer properties and select ports 3.Add a port that points to the network printer (\\Server\Printer) and then unpause the printer

Netware Migration

GSNW - smb -> ncp & vica versa.

passwords and admin rights are not transfered.

5. You have a server that is used for logon and WINS traffic. How can you

optimize the performance of this server using the server prgram in control

panel?

a. Minimize memory

b. Balance

c. Optimize for file sharing

d. Optimize for Network Applications

There has been quite a bit of discussion on this subject. The Transcenders

have the wrong answer and several braindumps have the wrong answer. The

correct answer here is "D" Microsoft states very clearly that all DOMAIN

CONTROLLERS should be configured with "Optimize for Network Applications" and

since this server is used for "Logons/Account Validation", it is obviously a

Domain Controller.

TIP: ARC paths in the boot.ini file were also in the exam and I would like to add an easy way to work out the path and how to remember it. The 4 items are:

1.first you have to work out if it is Multi or Scsi. If it says bios disabled then use SCSI(0). To remember this note the word 'dISable' and 'ScsI' have the letters 'S' and 'I' and remember that SCSI (or if it was Multi) starts with a zero, ie SCSI(0)

2.next is it RDISK(0) or DISK(0)? Remember it like this

SCSI(0)RDISK(0) - letter count is 9 (and numbers in the brackets are always zero)

MULTI(0)DISK(0) - letter count is also 9 (and numbers in the brackets are always zero). If you get them the wrong way round you get a letter count of 8 or 10.

3.So you have SCSI(0)RDISK(0)therefore DISK is either 0, 1 or whatever hard disc is the target. Remember that this is the item that points to the target disk. 1.Partition (ie PART()) - remember that it is the only item that does not begin with zero. It is either 1, 2, 3 …etc. To remember think of a film on TV with commercial breaks. Just before the adverts you get 'end of part 1' and after 'part 2'. You never see 'end of part zero'.

\\You want to modify Alec's user account so he can log on from any workstation

in the domain and receive his own desktop settings. How?

a) on the domain controller, use the System Properties dialog box to copy

Alec's user profile to his user account.

b) on the domain controller, use the System Properties dialog box to copy

Alec's local profile to the profiles directory.

c) Use User Manager for Domains to assign a UNC path to the profile for

Alec's user account.

d) Use User Manager for Domains to assign a home directory to Alec.

I chose c)

\\When migrating information from a NetWare server to an NT server, note that the only thing you cannot migrate is USER PASSWORDS.

If you want to merge account names from your NetWare servers into one account on your NT server, the service you need to accomplish this task is: 'Directory Services Manager for NetWare (DSMN)

If you want to connect a NetWare server through a RAS Server, you need to install Nwlink

\\You manage printer permissions from a remote win95 through the Explorer.

Note that the PDC is optimized to perform the following tasks:

Managing a network of around 60 users ( 10 to 60 users ) balance

Managing a small network of up to 10 users-à Minimize memory usage.

Running a SQL Server client/server application à Maximize throughput for Network applications

Sharing an Access Databaseà Maximize throughput for Network Apps.

You use the server service to minimize memory usage when there are less than 10 users connected.

Policy files are stored in the Netlogon share.

The RAS security protocols are:Password Authenticated Protocol (PAP) Clear Text, CHAP, MS-CHAP.

Named pipes are supported under PPP clients to access NT server using RAS.

If you have a Win95 client that is using 3rd party PPP that only supports DES, and you want to provide highest level of security, you need to require Encrypted Authentication. (MS-CHAP)

You assign IP address dynamically to RAS users either through the RAS server or by using DHCP.

Know that the DHCP server can supply clients with the followings:

Boot the machine with NT 4 setup disk and install NT 4.0 into the NT 3.51 directory. OR

Start NT 3.51 and use Winnt32.exe to install NT 4.0 into the NT 3.51 directory.

You can as well run Winnt32.exe from command prompt.

Note that the default desktop profile is stored in : \\winnt_root\profiles\administrator\desktop

Note that the smallest unit handled by Scheduler is PROCESS

\\A strip set (with or without parity) can only be as large as the smallest free partition, which will be part of the strip set.

The biggest partition which you could create with a stripe set is 512MB

\\The minimum number of disks needed for a strip set with parity is 3 and maximum is 32.

\\Strip set (Disk striping) provides the fastest read/write performance because it can read multiple disks at a time.

\\Strip set with parity (Disk Striping with parity) is slower because it has to write the parity information, but it's still faster than mirror set and volume set.

Mirror set (Disk Mirroring) is slow due to redundancy factor of writing the same information to two drives at once.

Volume set can only read/write one drive at a time.

Note that to recover from drive failure with disk mirroring:

Install a new drive

Boot the system into NT

Run Disk Administrator

Break mirror from the Fault Tolerance menu

Then reestablish the mirror- This however will be done automatically.

To recover from drive failure with disk striping with parity:

Install the new drive

Boot the system into NT

Run Disk Administrator

Then Choose Regenerate option.

To recover from multiple drive failure with disk striping with parity:

Install new drives

Boot the system into NT

Restore the system backup from tape.

The file level security governs local user file and folder security on NTFS partitions only. This is applied through the Security tab of the resource's properties.

RAS can use the following protocols: SLIP, PPP and RAS (used by Win3.x and Win NT 3.x clients.

RAS supports call back security to either the calling number or to a specified non-changing numbers.

RAS for NT 4.0 supports multilink

Multilink is the use of more than one modem to achieve higher transmission speed

Multilink cannot be use with call back security unless there are two or more ISDN modems

\\RAS uses NetBEUI as default protocol; but also uses TCP/IP and IPX/SPX.

\\When you want to utilize Winsock interface over RAS, then use TCP/IP

\\To speed up NetBIOS resolution on RAS clients, put an LMHOSTS file on each client locally.

In a situation where there is no standard in place for accessing RAS server system, and if security is concerned, then the most secure type of authentication is 'Allow Any Authentication Including Clear Text'

If there is broadcast traffic on your TCP/IP network, then install a WINS server.

PPP on an NT server supports the following:

Named Pipes

Remote Procedure Calls (RPC)

Winsock API applications using TCP/IP and IPX

Binding order is always to be done on Workstations.

NetWare 3.x clients that need access to files on an NT server need FPSNW and NWLINK installed.

CSNW and NWLINK is required for NT Workstations that require access to a NetWare servers.

GSNW is required for NT servers to connect to NetWare servers.

\\The counters you need to monitor to determine if excessive paging is occurring on you NT PC are Avg. Disk Sec/Transfer and Pages/Sec.

\\The Usage Peak (bytes) and %Usage counters are used to determine if the paging file size is approaching it's maximum.

T\\he servers that can serve as export servers are PDC, BDC and NT member server. ( Directory Replication Service) NOT NT Workstations, NOT Win95, and NOT MD-DOS.

\\To change the spool file location, to a new hard disk, just edit the registry and/or use the Advanced Property sheet for the print server.

If you want to redirect documents from a faulty print device to another print device, Add a local port to the faulty printer and type the UNC name of another printer in the Port Name dialog box. You may also need to remove the original port to ensure the documents print to the redirected port.

PPTP provides security and offers lower administrative costs, lower transmission costs, and lower hardware costs than others. It is best useful when configuring RAS to allow users access Internet while still providing security.

To re-enable a user account that expired, enter a future date in the End Of field/date in the account information window or select Never option.

To increase the initial paging file size, select Change on the performance tab in the system properties dialog box in the Control Panel.

\\Paging file CANNOT be placed on a partition with stripe set with parity, but on a system partition that may be containing mirror sets, volume sets, and strip sets without parity.

In a situation whereby you are using Win95, and you want to use WinNT server tools for '95, You want to control the permissions of files and directories on an NTFS drive on the network, Then use the Windows Explorer.

\\The Average Disk Queue Length counter should be used to determine how many system requests are waiting for disk access

\\The % Disk Time counter will indicate the load on a disk drive, BUT not toe be used on a system containing RAID devices

Know that NTFS file compression reduces the disk space required for file storage.

Volume set is supported by NT workstation and Server while stripe set is supported by only NT Server.

If a RAS user gets disconnected when connecting, make sure the user has dial-in

permission in User Manager for Domains.

The default interval for the amount of time an export directory must be stable before import servers can replicate it's files is 2 minutes.

If two users are connected to the same printer on the network, and one can print, and the other not, then the one that cannot print is running out of hard drive space for spooling.

If MSDOS applications cannot print, then install the printer driver locally for the MSDOS PC.

LPQ is the command used to check the status of a print job on a Unix-based print service.

LPR is used to submit a print job to a Unix-based print service.

In order to slow down replications of accounts, the variable you need to change in the registry is : Increase Pulse or Decrease Pulse concurrency.

RAS authentication method for DES is MS-CHAP

Apart from Administrators, anyone with FULL CONTROL, and SPECIAL PERMISSIONS can take ownership of files.

Know that you can assign IP addresses to RAS users either through the RAS server or by DHCP server.

\\'SPAB' = Server, Print, Account and Backup Operators can all log on locally to NT server. ONLY NOT Administrator account.

The Device.log reside in \WINNT_root\System32\RAS.

You move a workstation from one domain to the other through CP-Network-Identification.

You need to choose AppleTalk in order to use a MAC printer.

\\Q. What do you need to install Win 95, choose all correct.
