books in the Server Resource Kit, the class material and the Transcender Test.
I also relied on my daily experience with Windows NT 4.0.
Knowledge is something that should be shared and I will always remember my
fellow MCP's worldwide "cramming" to obtain their MCSE status.
Next week I'm on to TCP/IP but for now here's my dump for "Implementing &
Supporting NT Server 4.0" All of you should study the contribution of Marc (2
August 98) His dump is superb and leads you into the subjects to really study well.
I'm almost there (MCSE) Two exams more to go.
The (In)Famous question about users & servers and mandatory profiles, Server on
which profiles reside goes outa business, what happens when users want to log on?
A. THEY CANNOT LOGON!!!!!! Look it up in the books you'll see I'm right.
Transcender says they can logon with cached profile but my exam today did not
say anything about any cached profile, SO NO CAN DO..
RAS (FROM HELL)
You have a RAS server and a database on a different NT server. It needs to use data encrytion for security. You have some NT workstations users who need to use the database. Users of other client workstations which does not support encrytion need to access the RAS for other applications rather than the database. How should you configure the setup?
A. (wrong answer)
B. (Wrong answer)
C. Confiure some ports requiring authentication and data encrytion and assign those NT workstations to these ports only.
