Dean's Net Ess

Test name: Networking Essentials
Test #: 70-058
From: Dean

Note: there may be formatting problems here. I had to cut and paste from many documents. I apologize if there are extra carriage returns here and there. It all looks fine on my computer. Content is all OK.

First of all, calm down about the new testing procedures. Ren was right. If you study all the questions and answers to these brain dumps, you will pass the new test comfortably. I went through them ALL the brain dumps and passed 70-058 with 793. 552 is passing now. I used no other study materials except the Microsoft Network Essentials standard book.

The grading scale is totally different and 793 does not compare with 953, 927, etc.

Because of the new questions, though, we are all going to have to rebuild the question and answer database here. Also, we are going to have to rebuild the database for all the other tests as Microsoft makes them all "adaptive" with new questions. It's going to be more work. But to be honest, I feel better have successfully passed the test with half being new questions that I haven't seen before. So will you. It'll be more satisfying inside.

I only got about 20 questions out of a possible 35. The test cuts you off early if you are scoring high. The worse you do, the more questions you get. You can take the sample mini test if you want, but all it will do is give you practice filling in circles. The sample mini test about something totally unrelated, like the Moon and Mars! It may settle you down, it did me.

The good news is that the first half of the questions (10) were verbatim off the best, old test in our brain dump and I've included them here. The old test questions used to be 90% of the answers on the old standard test.

Unfortunately, like the other brain dumpers, I can't remember much about the ten NEW questions I got today. I'm sorry. I really tried to remember. Now I know how it feels. But the good news is that I remember about ten or so of the old test questions from brain dumps that were on TODAY'S exam:

HERE WE GO. I WISH I HAD THESE TODAY. I WENT IN COLD! I WAS GOING TO CHANGE MY TEST DATE, BUT GUTTED IT OUT. SO SHOULD YOU. KNOW ALL YOUR DUMPS AND YOU'LL PASS. IT'S ALL WE'VE GOT TILL WE REBUILD THIS DATABASE AND FOR THE THE OTHER TESTS, TOO. AT LEAST YOU WON'T GO IN COLD LIKE I DID:

6. What is a characteristic of connection-oriented communication?

A. It provides fast but unreliable delivery of datagrams.

C. It uses store-and-forward techniques to move datagrams between computers.

D. It uses message-oriented communication for processing e-mail.

18. You are designing a peer-to-peer network that consists of 5 Microsoft Windows 95 computers. Which protocol should you use?

20. You want to connect your Ethernet and token-ring networks. Both networks use NWLink IPX. You want to use IPX addressing to limit the amount of traffic between the 2 networks.

21. You want to segment your 200-node network into 3 subnets. The network uses TCP/IP.

22. Your network has 250 client computers. The network uses both TCP/IP and NetBEUI. You want to segment the network into 3 subnets. You want to allow all of the computers to use both of the protocols to communicate with computers on all 3 subnets.

BUT B (Brouter) WAS NOT AN ANSWER, BUT BRIDGE WAS THERE IN PLACE OF IT. SO I CHOSE B. BRIDGE

VARIATION OF OLD QUESTION WITH E-MAIL CAPABILITY INCLUDED:

AAAA A VARIATION OF THIS BUT INCLUDED E-MAIL CAPABILITY, I WENT
WITH OUR STANDARD ANSWER OF ATM

26. Which WAN connection service can provide transmission speed that is faster than 100 Mbps?

I CHOSE ATM AS THE OLD ANSWER BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT'S RIGHT.
RESEARCH IT THE BEST YOU CAN BASED ON THE LITTLE I COULD REMEMBER

I THINK THIS WAS ON IT VERBATIM:
29. You are designing a WAN that uses X.25. Which device should you include in the design?

You are designing a security plan for your network. The following table summarizes the current network configuration.

    Server
               2 total - both run Microsoft Windows NT
              server, 1 is the PDC and 1 is the BDC
    Client Computers
               100, which run Microsoft Windows 95
     Network Type
               10BaseT Ethernet

You must have centralized control of access to shared resources.

You want to track all access and attempted access to shared resources.
You want to track attempts to guess user passwords.
You want to implement a method to protect user accounts from password-breaking programs.

Implement NTFS with user-level security on all servers. Set appropriate access-control security
on all shared resources. Require users to change their passwords every 40 days. Implement disk striping with parity on all servers. Perform daily tape backups, and store tapes in a secure off-site location.

A. the proposed solution produces the required result and produces all of the optional desired results.

B. the proposed solution produces the required result and produces only 1 of the optional desired results.

C. The proposed solution produces the required result but does not produce any of the optional desired results. *****

D. the proposed solution does not produce the required result.

NO T2 or T3, but a T1 question, but I’m sorry, I can’t remember the words. T3 and I think ATM were options. AT LEAST YOUR WON'T BE SHELL SHOCKED BY IT. LEARN WHAT YOU CAN ABOUT T1

37. You install an Ethernet network adapter in a client computer. The computer's network software is initialized successfully, but the computer is not able to communicate with other computers on the network. All other client computers on the network are able to communicate.
What is the most likely cause of the problem?

A. the transceiver setting of the network adapter is incorrect. ****

B. the IO port address on the network adapter is incorrect.

AAAAA VERBAtIM And only Netbios question of three
38. Situation:

You are designing a NetBIOS naming scheme for all of the servers and client computers at your location. Within 2 years your company will install a WAN that will connect all of its networks.

Server
                328, Which run Microsoft Windows NT
               Server
Client Computers
               20,000 which run Microsoft Windows 95
Network
               40, each in a different city
WAN connections
               None
E-mail
               All users have e-mail to all other users in the
               company.
E-mail names
               All have 12 characters or fewer

Server
               10, which run Microsoft Windows NT
               server
Client Computers
               500, which run Microsoft Windows 95

You must successfully implement the NetBIOS naming scheme for all servers and client computers at your location.
The NetBIOS naming scheme at your location must continue to work after the WAN is connected.

You want the NetBIOS name for each server to describe the server's department or function.You want each client computer's NetBIOS name to describe the computer's primary user or function.

Assign each server and client computer at all locations a unique 15-digit hexadecimal number to be used as that computer's NetBIOS name.

A. The proposed solution produces the required results and produces both of the optional desired results.

B. The proposed solution produces the required results and produces only 1 of the optional desired results.

C. The proposed solution produces the required results but does not produce either of the optional desired results. ****

D. The proposed solution does not produce the required results.

44. Your network uses NWLink IPX. Initialization of your client computer's network software appears to be successful, but your client computer is not able to access the server. All of the other computers are able to access the server. What is the most likely cause of the problem?

B. your client computer has insufficient extended memory.

C. the network adapter in your client computer is configured to use the wrong I/O port address.

D. the network adapter in your client computer is configured to use the wrong frame type. ****

THERE WAS A VARIATION OF THE FOLLOWING, BUT COULD BE VERBATIM:

45. You connect a client computer to a network that uses NWLink IPX. The client computer is not able to access any network resources. After investigation, you decide that hardware is not causing the problem.

C was the answer on the old test, but the variation was something like something is causing storms and there was only ONE SEGMENT and I chose incorrect subnet mask. I'm not sure that's right, so know frame types and subnet masks.

48. A client computer on your Ethernet network is not able to access the server. Initialization of the client computer's network software was successful. All other client computers are able to access the server. After investigation, you decide that hardware is not causing the problem.

A. There is insufficient extended memory in the affected client computer.

B. The network adapter in the server is configured to use the wrong transceiver.

C. the network adapter in the affected client computer is configured to use the wrong transceiver. ****

D. An excessive number of collisions is occurring on the media.

VERBATIM
46. Your network includes servers that run Microsoft Windows NT Server, client computers that run Microsoft MS-DOS, and UNIX client computers. You add a new server that runs Microsoft Windows NT Server. All of the MS-DOS computers can access all shared network resources. The UNIX computers can access all shared network resources except the new server.

C. protocol mismatch between the server and the UNIX computers ****

49. Configuration of 2 of the client computers on your 10BaseT Ethernet network:

Neither computer is able to access the network. You run diagnostic tests on the network adapters in both computers. Configuration of both adapters is identical:

Which change must you make on both Ethernet network adapters to allow the 2 client computers to access the network?

A. Change the MAC (hardware) addresses to factory settings. ****

THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT APPLICATION SERVERS AND FILE AND PRINT SERVERS, BUT A WEIRD AND TOTALLY DIFFERENT VARIATION FROM THE OLD STANDARD ONE THAT FOLLOWS. REMEMBER, THIS NEXT ONE IS THE OLD ONE THAT IS NOT ON THE TEST:

2. Which type of server provides processing power to run programs for client computers? (Choose all that apply.)

2. You have an Ethernet network and a Token Ring network. When you send a
file from Token Ring to Ethernet it takes 2 minutes. When you send the same
file from Ethernet to Token Ring it takes 30 seconds.What is the cause?

The Token Ring packet size is LARGER than the Ethernet packet size.

No mesh
No UNC
No backend service questions
No SLIP
No SLIP and PPP
No 802.3 10BaseT
No 802.10Base2
No NDIS and ODI
No NDIS
No repeater (300 meters apart)
No replace standard analog telephone service
No T2 or T3, but a T1 (The T1 is different from the one in
this brain dump)
No COM2
Only one NetBios (15 digit hex) meets required but no optionals
No replace RG-58A/U cable
No O ohms question or infinity ohms questions
No Mac IPX questions
No Ethernet switches question.

That's the best I could do. This WILL help! Hopefully this will help you score HIGH!

Thanks to all who spent time contributing to all the brain dumps. Couldn't have passed without you all! Thank you Christy!

My duty is done. Do your duty on upcoming exams. We're going to need EVERY BODY! Microsoft has made all our lives harder, but we'll get our MCSEs!
