I passed NT 4 SERVER ENTERPRISE today with an 842. I

started the exam with 6 long scenerio questions thrown at me.

Luckily some were in the Brain Dumps so that cheered, me up

(didn't have to do all that reading). The exam was 1/2 scenerios

and 1/4 tricky questions and 1/4 easy questions. I used SYBEX

briefly, CICS simulated questions (not recommended) &

BRAINDUMPS mostly! (highly recommended). This test is not

easy, but if you read the braindumps & have passed server you

can pass it.

Please check these answers out for yourself. My answers are

given below.

Here comes BRAINDUMP :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. You have an NT Workstation that does not belong to any

Domain. A user at that workstation would like to have access to

resources on an NT Server in the Domain Sales. How can you

givethe user access? (Choose All that Apply)

(A) Enable the Guest Account on the Domain

(B) Make a duplicate user account in Sales for each workstation

appropriate sales groups

(D) Make a duplicate account for each group on the workstation

I chose (A) & (B) (Remember I am not sure on this one!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. You wish to make a baseline on your Server. Which Utilities

would you use? (Choose All that Apply)

(A) Excel

(B) Response Probe

(D) Network Monitor

I chose (B) & (D) & (C) (Remember I am not sure on this one!)

All I know is that you can use Excel, but not to collect data (to

view it & create a report) & you can use (B)(C)(D) to capture

data for the purpose of a baseline (my view).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. When you arrive at your office in the morning, you notice your

system has crashed and shows a blue screen. You try to boot up

again, but are now unable to access Windows NT.

What do you do?

(A) Re-Install Windows NT

(B) Boot from the Emergency Repair Disk & Repair the System

Process

(D) Do Nothing

I chose (C) (I am sure of this!) Remember you can NOT boot

from an ERD!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. You have a Server configured as you PDC on a network of

5000 users. Your PDC also acts as a WINS server for your

network. The PDC is used to Authenticate User Logins. How do

you optimize your PDC?

(A) Select Minimize Memory Used

(B) Select Balance

(D) Select Maximize Throughput For Network Applications

I chose (C) (I am NOT sure of this!) This question has been

disputed so many times. I chose C for the following reasons.

(5000 users) (A) is for 10 users (B) is for 64 Users so cross them

off. A WINS Server does not provide the same role as an

Application Server so cross off (D). WINS provides services

similar to file sharing as it holds a database,so you are left with C.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. You have the following domain configuration in your company:

SALES ---> CORP <-- RESEARCH (1 PDC, 2 BDC's (1

PDC, 3 BDC's (1 PDC, 1 BDC, 1 member server 2 member

servers 200 NT Workst.) 300 NT Workst.) 500 NT Workst.)

Required results:

A group called AllBackup must be created in the CORP domain.

Members of the AllBackup group must be able to backup all

domain controllers in all domains.

Optional results:

Members of the Allbackup group must be able to backup all

member servers in all domains. Members of the Allbackup group

must be able to backup all NT Workstations in all domains.

Proposed solution:

Make a global group CORP\AllBackup. Make the local groups

CORP\CBackup, RESEARCH\RBackup and

SALES\SBackup. Assign the following special users rights to the

local groups: Backup Files and Restore Files. Put the global group

CORP\AllBackup in each local group.

What does the proposed solution produce?

(A) The required result and the optional results.

(B) The required result and one of the optional results.

(D) Does not produce the required result or the optional results.

I chose (C) (I am sure of this!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. You have the following domain configuration in your company:

SALES ---> CORP <-- RESEARCH (1 PDC, 2 BDC's (1

PDC, 3 BDC's (1 PDC, 1 BDC, 1 member server 2 member

servers 200 NT Workst.) 300 NT Workst.) 500 NT Workst.)

Required results:

A group called AllBackup must be created in the CORP domain.

Members of the AllBackup group must be able to backup all

domain controllers in all domains.

Optional results:

Members of the Allbackup group must be able to backup all

member servers in all domains. Members of the Allbackup group

must be able to backup all NT Workstations in all domains.

Proposed solution:

Make a global group CORP\AllBackup. Put the global group

CORP\AllBackup in each local 'Backup operators' group in each

domain. Put the global group CORP\AllBackup in the local

'Backup operators' group on each member server and

workstation in all domains. What does the proposed solution

produce?

(A) The required result and the optional results.

(B) The required result and one of the optional results.

(D) Does not produce the required result or the optional results.

I chose (A) (I am sure of this!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. You are the system manager of a company with 3 departments:

Management, Marketing and Accounting.The departments print

all to the same pool of 2 identical printers. Accounting uses often

heavy calculation software which pauses and slows down the print

process. Your job is to optimize the printing process. The amount

of printerload for each department is shown in the following table:

Department av. pages printer per day

Management 1-250

Marketing 250-500

Accounting 500+

Required Results:

Print jobs from the Management department must always be

printed first. Print jobs from the Accounting departments may only

print at one print device.

Optional Results:

Print jobs from the Management and Marketing department must

be processes before any large printjob from the Accounting

department. Prevent the calculations of the accounting department

of slowing down the print process.

Proposed solution:

You are setting up the printer configuration as shown in the table

below:

Management Marketing Accounting Spooling method spool after

first spool after first spool after last page is printed page is printed

page is printed Priority +15 +10 +1

Rights Everyone: removed Everyone: removed Everyone: removed

Management: Print Marketing: Print Accounting: Print Print

device pool pool one port What does the proposed solution

produce?

(A) The required result and the optional results.

(B) The required result and one of the optional results.

(D) Does not produce the required result or the optional results.

I chose (A) (I am sure of this!)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. You are the administor of the following network:

Caracas 56K Chicago 56K Paris

-------- | | | -----------

____________| | |_____

/ | \

T1 / T1 | \T1

Seattle Dallas New York

Required Results:

Network lines may not be saturated with logon validations Users

from caracas and paris domain must access resources on chicago

Users from chicago must access resources on seattle, dallas and

new york

Optional Results:

centralized user managment administrators on the resource

domains must be able to manage access to their own resources

Proposed Solution:

Use the single domain model Place a PDC and one BDC in

chicago Place a BDC for the chicago domain in each other domain

What does the proposed solution produce?

(A) The required result and the optional results.

(B) The required result and one of the optional results.

(D) Does not produce the required result or the optional results.

I chose (A) (I am sure of this!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. You have a Windows NT server with six scsi disks. On one

disk is the system partition, the other five are in a stripset with

parity. 2 disks failed, you replaced the disks. What must be done

next in the disk administrator?

(A) Choose extend volume set in the partition menu

(B) Choose regenerate in the fault tolerance menu

(D) Choose make stripe set with parity and restore from backup

tape

I chose (D) Looky Looky (Sneeky) I almost chose C but with

question says includes a stripe set WITH PARITY. Assume just

Stripe Set means WITHOUT. (D) is correct (I am sure of this)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.You are using network monitor from the Windows NT server

4.0 standard installation. You have just captured 400 frames from

your NT server. How can you display data originating from one

specific computer to your server.

(A) Use the address database

(B) Use capture filter by protocol

(D) Use sort by address in capture window

I chose (C) (I am not sure of this at all!)

(I got 77% in Monitoring & Optimization so this is probably not

right.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11.Your company uses the single domain model. Brokers with NT

workstation 4.0 notebooks need to have access to the domain

from remote locations. Your job is to implement the highest level

of security onthe domain.

Required results:

Brokers need access to the domain. Only the brokers may log in

and no other users.

Optional results:

Passwords are transmitted encrypted over the line. All data must

be transmitted encrypted.

Proposed solution:

Use a password length with a minimum of 8 characters. Let the

system remember the last 10 used passwords. Force the brokers

to change their password every month. Install a RAS server and

configure it with the RAS manager so that only the brokers have

permission to log in. Use any authentication method. Use a

hardware security host between the RAS modem and the RAS

server.

What does the proposed solution produce?

(A) The required result and the optional results.

(B) The required result and one of the optional results.

(D) Does not produce the required result or the optional results.

I chose (B) (I am pretty sure this is right!) If you use any

authentication method passwords are automatically encrypted, but

you have to select data encryption (as well) to have data

encryption, in this case it wasn't selected. A hardware security

host I am guessing is a firewall Server between the RAS &

Modem, but not between your modem& the RAS modem, so

regardless of how the security host is configured data is not

encrypted over the telephone line.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12.You have given permission to other administrators to

administer the directory service on you domain. How can you

keep track of the changes being made? Choose from the graphic

shown below (Audit dialog shown):

(A) Audit object access

(B) Audit use of user rights

(D) Audit file read access

I chose (C) (I am sure of this!) Remember anything to do with

directory service has to do with USer & Group Management. In

this question you have one of those targets and you have to place

it on the correct audit choice (choose User & Group Management

& place the target on Success (NOT FAILURE).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13.You have 3 NT servers and 3 Netware servers. You're in the

process of migrating all users and data from the netware servers to

the NT servers. However you don't want existing user or group

accounts on the NT domain to be overwritten.

What is the most efficient way to accomplish this task?

(A) Start the migration with the default options

(B) Do the migration for each user separately by hand.

user manager

(D) Use a mapping file and enter the user, groups and password

manually.

I chose (D) (I am sure of this!)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14.You wish to migrate a Netware Server to an NT Server &

preserve security. What is required on the NT Server?

(A) Install TCP/IP Protocol

(B) Install NetBEUI Protocol

(D) An available NTFS Partition

I chose (D) (I am sure of this!)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15.Your company is an Internet Service Provider. You wish to set

up virtual web sites for 10 Companies. Every company has a

registered Domain Name and should have there own home

directory. You have IIS installed. How should you configure this

arrangement? (Choose all that apply)

(A) Assign Multiple IP to network Adapter

(B) Same IP to each co. Name on DNS.

(D) Wins to assign IP to NetBIOS name.

I chose (A) & (C) (I am not sure of this!)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16.Your NT Server is set up as a LAN-to-LAN IP Router. You

want your server to be able to recognise other routers when they

are added or removed. Which of the following should be applied?

(A)SAP

(B)DHCP Relay

(C)RIP for Internet Protocol

(D)RIP for NWLink IPX/SPX compatible Transport.

I chose (C) (I am not sure of this!)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Watch permissions and shares. (Sorry I can't remember the

question) There was one question where the answer is :

>Share permissions override NTFS permissions in this case

Here is a quick brief on permissions :

When you have a user logged on to the machine locally ONLY

NTFS permissions apply on files & directories. When a user logs

on over the network and wants access to a file within a directory

then the share permissions of the directory as well as the NTFS

permissions of the file & directory apply, the MOST

RESTRICTIVE OF THEM ALL IS APPLIED!
