  1. Which of the following approaches to data gathering will produce the most usable performance baseline for a Windows NT network server?
     
    A.   Using the Chart View in Performance Monitor, collect computer and network utilization statistics every 15 minutes for two working days.
    B.   Using the Log View in Performance Monitor, collect processor, memory, logicaldisk, and network counters every 15 minutes for two working days.
    C.   Using the Chart View in Performance Monitor, collect computer and network utilization statistics every hour for a week.
    D.   Using the Log View in Performance Monitor, collect processor, memory, logicaldisk, and network counters every hour for a week.

    Answer: B - Using the Chart View makes no sense when building a baseline because you want to collect data samples over time, not a collection of snapshots. The Log View is the logical choice here. The Log View collects data into a log file, which can then be analyzed for patterns and trends. Collecting on a regular basis over an extended period of time is required to create a baseline but more frequent samples over time are more informative than less frequent samples over time. More frequent sampling is preferable even though another choice has a longer sample period.  It would be better still to gather data every 5 to 15 minutes for a week. 


  2. You are upgrading your company with 50 new PC's and adding these new computers to your network. How do you create a Network Installation Startup disk to help you accomplish this task?

    A.   Use the Control Panel, Network icon and select the "Create Network Installation Startup Disk" option to create the floppy disk.
    B.   Use the Disk Manager program from the Administrative Tools group to select the Computer pull down menu and the "Create Network Installation Startup Disk" option to create the floppy disk.
    C.   From the Windows NT 4.x Workstation or Server CD-ROM copy the NetSetup.exe to your hard drive and execute the program to create the floppy disk.
    D.   Use the Network Client Administrator and select the "Create Network Installation Startup Disk" option to create the floppy disk.
    Answer:  D

  3. By default, what two groups have the right to logon locally at any Windows NT Server?

    A. Domain Users
    B. Power Users
    C. Supervisor
    D. Backup Operators
    E. Administrators

    Answer(s): D, ETo allow local guest logons but not network guest logons, enable the Guest account and revoke its Access to this computer From Network user right in User Manager for Domains. To allow network guest logons but not local guest logons, enable the Guest account and revoke its Log On Locally user right. Supervisor is not a Windows NT group.


  4. Select three main reasons why you would implement a trust relationship.

    A. Centralized administration
    B. Centralized accounts and account management
    C. Single logon capability
    D. Multiple logon capability
    E. Decentralized account administration in resource domains.

    Answer: A, B, C -Decentralized administration of resources in a trusting domain is not one of the main reasons for implementing Managing Windows NT Directory Services, but it is possible. 


  5. What is a network-attached printer?
     
    A.   A printer shared from a Windows NT Server host with the network
    B.   A printer shared from a Windows NT Workstation host with a workgroup
    C.   A printer connected directly to the network media via a special printerNIC
    D   A software construction of a printer which points to a shared printer elsewhere on the network

    Answer: C - A network-attached printer is a printer connected directly to the network media via a special printer NIC.


  6. What must be done before starting a server-based installation of Windows NT for an Intel-based computer?
     
    A.   Use the Windows NT Explorer, with default settings, to copy files from the I386 folder to a shared folder.
    B.   Use the Windows NT Explorer, with default settings, to copy files from the MIPS folder to a shared folder.
    C.   A shared folder with all of the Alpha distribution files must be made available.
    D.   A shared folder with all of the i386 distribution files must be made available.

    Answer: D - For a server-based installation of Microsoft Windows NT you must have a shared network location with the NT distribution files. Use the Windows NT Explorer or the XCopy command (with the /s switch to copy subfolders) to copy the i386 folder to a shared folder. Note that using NT Explorer will not copy the necessary files unless you have set the View menu so that hidden files are shown. MIPS, PPC and Alpha systems do not apply to this question. 

  7. What kinds of roles might a Windows NT Member Server play within a Windows NT.-based network domain?

     A. Application server
     B. Fax server
     C. Domain authentication
     D. File and print server
     E. Export server for Directory Replicator service

    Answer: A, B, D, E - Any kind of service that doesn't require direct access to a domain controller's functions or the underlying SAM database works on a Member Server. Any kind of service that doesn't require direct access to a domain controller's functions or the underlying SAM database works on a Member Server. Domain authentication may only occur on a domain controller, not on a member server. 

  8. You are upgrading from Window NT 3.51 to 4.0. What is the command to run the Setup program with the floppy-less installation option?

    A. WINNT32 /NOFLOP
    B. WINNT /B
    C. WINNT32 /FL
    D. WINNT /I
    E. WINNT32 /B

    Answer: E -  The use of the /b switch will perform a floppy-less installation. Without this switch the process would ask for three formatted disks and recreate the three NT installation disks. WINNT32.EXE should be used when running the setup from a previous 32-bit operating system such as Windows NT 3.51. WINNT32.EXE also supports the /B switch so that it can be used to perform a floppy-less install or upgrade. However, WINNT32.EXE does not support the /U switch for unattended operation, the /U switch is only supported by WINNT.EXE. Since WINNT32.EXE runs under Windows NT, it provides two major benefits over WINNT.EXE:  While the files are being copied from the server's share into the $WIN_NT$.~LS directory, Windows NT is still running. This means there is less down time during the upgrade using WINNT32.EXE than there would be using WINNT.EXE, which requires the system to be booted under MS-DOS. · Because WINNT32.EXE is a Win32 utility, it is multi-threaded which makes it faster than WINNT.EXE. The reason for this is that WINNT32.EXE creates the necessary
    three Setup disks while it is also copying files to the $WIN_NT$.~LS directory 

  9. Which of the combination of file system formats and protocols is required when using NetWare's Migration Tool to transfer files and folders to a Windows NT domain controller? 

     A. FAT and NWLink
     B. FAT and TCP/IP
     C. NTFS and NetBEUI
     D. NTFS and NWLink
     E. NTFS and TCP/IP

    Answer: D - NWLink is the correct protocol. However, a FAT partition will not retain file or folder security information. NWLink must be running for Windows NT and NetWare to communicate. The target Windows NT partition must be formatted using NTFS. 

  10. NTFS partitions are required for what three options?

    A. Native file system compression.
    B.   Recoverability features such as log file and checkpoint information to restore file system consistency.
    C.   File-level security.
    D.   Partitions greater than 400 MB in size.
    E.   Long filename support.

    Answer: A, B, C - Under NTFS, files include header (H), standard information (SI), security descriptor (SD), file name (FN) and data attributes. An NTFS directory is an entry in the MFT as well as a special form of index. The NTFS file system is best for 400 MB volumes or larger and has features not available with other Configuring Disks such as the ability to assign permissions to individual files and folders. NTFS has improved recoverability features and uses a B-tree structure that makes folder access to files faster than on a FAT volume. Lastly, you can compress individual files and folders on an NTFS volume.


  11. By default, which of the following properties apply to the Guest account in a Windows NT domain?

     A. User Must Change Password At Next Logon is unchecked.
     B. User Cannot Change Password is checked.
     C. Password Never Expires is unchecked.
     D. Account Disabled is checked.
     E. Account Locked Out is grayed out (and inaccessible).

    Answer(s): A, B, D, E - By definition, the Guest account is shared and this box is unchecked. Thus, users are not permitted to change passwords for this account, so confusion won't set in. Because users cannot change the password for the Guest account, the password should not have an expiration date. This checkbox should therefore be checked, rather than unchecked. The Guest account is disabled by default. No account will be locked out unless a policy to enable account lockouts is enabled and an illegal number of login attempts is made against specific settings for the Guest account. Because the account is disabled by default, this cannot occur, so it is definite that the account lockout entry would be grayed out by default.

  12. What type of NT setup cannot have its name changed after it is defined during setup?

     A. NTServer as a BDC
     B. NTWorkstation as a client
     C. NTServer as a standalone server
     D. NTWorkstation as a fax server
     E. NTServer as a PDC

    Answer: E - Only an NTServer PDC cannot have its name changed after installation.

  13. You must install RAS on an existing BDC and need to isolate the computer from the rest of the network for security reasons. This project calls for the remote user to access their home directories and a small company database located on the BDC.  What protocol would you use for maximum security on the Workstation and the Server?

    A. SLIP
    B. PPP
    C. TCP/IP
    D. PPTP
    E. PPMP

    Answer: D - Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol for secure transfer of data from a remote client to a private enterprise server using a virtual private network (VPN) across TCP/IP-based data networks (used for clients making a connection over the Internet). PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, virtual private networking over public networks, such as the Internet.

  14. Choose two of the following statements that best characterize setting up a two-way trust?
     
    A.   Separate boxes are displayed to distinguish one-way trusts from two-way trusts.
    B.   The same domain name appears in both the Trusted Domains box and the Trusting Domain box.
    C.   Establish a one-way trust. Then set up another one-way trust, but reverse the roles of trusted and trusting.
    D.   The administrator in the trusted domain completes the two-way trust by adding the account domain and the resource domain to both sections in the Managing Windows NT Directory Services dialog boxes.

    Answer(s): B, C - The administrator in the trusted (account) domain may provide a password as part of implementing the trust. If this is done, the administrator in the trusting (resource) domain must know the password and enter it when completing the trust relationship. 



  15. If the printing process is going too slowly because of other applications running on the print server, what is the best solution to speed up printing?
     
    A.   Use a utility such as PVIEW to kill most other processes running on the machine
    B.   Adjust the priority of the Print Spooler by manually editing registry parameters
    C.   Notify users that applications will be shut down, and then close some applications down
    D.   Increase the physical RAM on the machine
    E.   Upgrade to an Intel-Pentium processor

    Answer: B


  16. Which Windows NT 4.0 command installs Windows NT 4.0 Workstation over a computer's Windows 95 operating system, thereby enabling you to dual boot into each operating system?

    A. WIN95.SYS
    B. WINNT.SYS
    C. WINNT32.EXE
    D. WINNT.EXE
    E. SETUPNT.EXE

    Answer: D - Winnt32.exe can only be used on a system that already has a version of Microsoft Windows NT.  Winnt.exe should be used to install Windows NT on a system currently running Windows 95.

  17. Which of the following represent possible uses for a null-modem cable?

     A. Attach a workstation to a domain.
     B.  Establish a PPTP connection across the Internet.
     C. Test a RAS server with a local client.
     D. Interconnect two LANs temporarily.

    Answer(s): A, C, D -  By definition, a null-modem cable uses a serial port which usually limits bandwidth to 115 Kbps. Within these limitations, a null-modem cable may be used to attach a workstation to a RAS server, and thus to a domain.  A PPTP connection across the Internet requires real Internet access, which means using a modem or some other, higher-speed communications device. A null-modem cable won't work here. A null-modem cable is an excellent way to test a RAS server with a local client. Two adjacent networks can be interconnected, albeit slowly, using a null-modem cable.

  18. If you want to check to see if the CPU is a bottleneck on your system, which pair of Performance Monitor counters should you observe?

     A. Processor:Processor Queue Length, Processor:%Processor Time
     B. Processor:%DPC Time, Processor:%User Time
     C. Processor:%Processor Time, LogicalDisk:Avg. Disk Queue Length
     D. Processor:Interrupts/sec, Processor:Processor Queue Length

    Answer: A - When the Processor Queue Length stays over 2.0 or greater, and %Processor Time stays consistently over 80 percent, a way to boost CPU power on a system must be found (or you must add another system and distribute the load). %DPC Time is the percentage of elapsed time that the Processor spends on Deferred Procedure Calls. When a hardware device interrupts the CPU, the Interrupt Handler may elect to execute its work in a DPC. DPCs run at lower priority than Interrupts and so permit Interrupts to occur while DPCs execute. Thus, this measure is more likely to indicate hardware problems or excessive network traffic (both of which generate interrupts) than a CPU bottleneck. %User Time indicates how much of the CPU's time is spent on user applications like desktop programs. This number should always be low on a server and doesn't indicate much about CPU usage on such a machine. Therefore, this is not the most informative pair of counters for CPU bottlenecks here.  %Processor Time is a key indicator here but Disk Queue Length can only report on memory (if it's the paging file) or disk subsystem problems, not CPU problems. Therefore, this is not the most informative pair of counters for CPU bottlenecks here.  Processor Queue Length is indeed a key indicator here but Interrupts/sec says more about hardware activity on a system than CPU activity. Therefore, this is not the most informative pair of counters for CPU bottlenecks here.

  19. On a Windows NT 4.0 Server, you've recently enabled the Directory Replicator service. Despite your best efforts, you don't seem to be able to get things to work properly unless you make the service account a member of the Domain Admins group, as well as the Replicator group. Which of the following explanations is the most likely cause of your problems?
     
    A.   The Replicator account includes inappropriate group memberships.
    B.   The Directory Replicator service account is not a member of both the Backup Operators and the Replicator group on this machine.
    C.   You failed to set a sufficiently wide stabilization window value for the Replicator service.
    D.   The original release of this service from Microsoft is buggy, and wasn't fixed until SP2. Thus, you must install SP2 or a later SP to fix this
    problem.

    Answer: D - The Directory Replicator service on Windows NT 4.0 behaves neither reliably nor predictably unless SP2 or later is installed on a Windows NT machine.
     

  20. Your network uses both NetBEUI and TCP/IP protocols. Jimmy Jachamji dials into the network, using NetBEUI and TCP/IP, where NetBEUI is at the top of the protocol binding order. When he attempts to use a WinSock 2.0 application written for TCP/IP he learns that application doesn't work. What should he do to remedy this situation?
     
    A.   Reinstall the application, reboot his machine, and try again.
    B.   Change the protocol binding order on his desktop to put TCP/IP on top.
    C.   Change the protocol binding order on the RAS server to TCP/IP on top.
    D.    Change the protocol binding order on both the RAS server and the desktop to put TCP/IP on top.

    Answer: B - The RAS client uses whichever protocol it binds first as its primary network transport; reinstalling the software won't help.  The RAS client uses whichever protocol is binds first as its primary network transport; to run a WinSock 2.0 application, TCP/IP must be bound first on the client. The RAS Server responds to client requests using whatever protocol is used to issue those requests. Changing the server binding order will make no difference. The RAS Server responds to client requests using whatever protocol is used to issue those requests. Changing the server binding order will make no difference.


  21. During logon, what names appear in the 'From' Box of a domain controller?


  22. A. The server name and the domain name.
    B. The server name.
    C. The domain name.
    D. The domain name and trusted domain names.
    E. The server name and trusted domain names.

    Answer: D -  When different domains appear in the 'From' Box during logon, you must select the one that you desire for logon
