1. "xyz" has some 386 machine with 16 MB RAM and running Windows NTW 3.51 and wants to upgrade to NTW 4.0, how to upgrade ?

Ans. Cannot upgrade to NTW 4.0, because minimum requirement for NTW 4.0 is 486.

2. Your computer is running Windows NT 3.51 Workstation on an HPFS partition. You would like to upgrade to Windows NT 4.0 Workstation. How should you proceed?

A) Convert to NTFS, then upgrade to Windows NT 4.0

B) Run winnt.exe and install Windows NT 4.0 in the same directory

Ans. A

3. Situation : You are planing to reconfigure an NT Workstation with 32 MB RAM for optimum speed of access to its local (mainly graphic data) files, varying in size from 1 MB to 10 MB, for other computers in the same LAN. You have there a SCSI controller with 4 disks of 2 GB each, formatted with FAT.

Required result : To optimize performance for optimum speed of access to local data files.

Optional results : Reconfigure for optimum speed of access to paging file.

Optimize network access performance.

Proposed solution: Configure the first hard disk as boot partition. Configure the other 3 disks as a Stripe Set. Use NTFS on all partitions. Place data and paging file on the Stripe Set. . Configure binding order of protocols; move most used protocols to the bottom of binding order.

The solution produces :

A) The required result and 2 of the optional results.

B) The required result and 1 of the optional results.

C) The required result and none of the optional results.

D) None of the required results.

Ans. I chose B, but it is C because placing paging file on Stripe set does not increase the performance.

A) Login as Administrator, goto Windows NT Explorer, right click the folder, share it & assign the permission.

B) Login as 'abc', goto Windows NT Explorer, right click the folder, share it & assign the permission.

C) Login as 'abc' and use User Manager.

D) some other option

Ans. I chose A.

9. Three integrated applications are running & one is crashing everytime and halting other 16 bit applications also. How to prevent this applications so that other 16 bit applications will not afffect ?

Ans. Run the 3 integrated applications in the default NTVDM and other 16 bit applications in their own NTVDM's.

10. The printing job of Invoices is sent to a printer and it jams in between. The program will not allow to re-submit the job to the printer, what you will do to rectify this problem ?

A) Select resume from document menu

B) Select restart from document menu

C) Select cancel from document menu and then restart

D) Select refresh from view menu and then resume

Ans. B

11. Situation : NT Workstation with 4 identical 2 GB SCSI hard disks. The system has multiple protocols installed & configured. All disks consists of single partition with FAT, paging file is in boot partition.

Required result: Optimize speed of access to local data files.

Optional results: Speed-up the access to paging file.

Optimize computer network access performance.

Proposed solution: Configure all the hard disks as a Volume set and format with FAT. Keep paging file on the boot partition. Configure binding order of protocols - move most used protocols to the top of binding order.

The solution produces :

A) The required result and 2 of the optional results.

B) The required result and 1 of the optional results.

C) The required result and none of the optional results.

D) None of the required results.

Ans. D, because creating volume set does not meet the required result as it is slow when compared with Strite set.
