Subject: Net Essentials 70-58

I just wrote the Net Essentials test and passed with a 914, first

attempt. I spent about four weeks studying, having a fair amount of

network experience. I read the MS Press SSK once through and browsed the exam cram. Once I was confident with the terminology, I took the

Transcenders and thoroughly went over all of the Braindumps; it's damn

near impossible to pass without these.

Most of the questions were covered in the braindumps, but a few

were unfamiliar:

 Your company wants to protect the servers from hardware failure, with

periods of 2hrs downtime acceptable.

Implement reasonable controls to protect from data loss.

OPT: Track all access to data

--Protect from viruses.

SOLUTION: UPS, Access control on shared resources, RAID 5, Daily

Backups, Viruscan on PC's, implement auditing.

I wasn't sure because the question says HARDWARE failure, not power

failure, I accepted the two to be similar enough, and said that it met all of the needs. I could be wrong.

A question came up on the RAS modems, but this time there were 28.8

modems only, no T1. I said that it met the 1MBs and was redundant. The

formula that you see in some of these brain dumps is CORRECT.

1 down 5 to go, on to Workstation. Thanks Rob.
