Took exam yesterday and wrote a 931. 5 down
, 1 to go. As a NetWare CNE, the normal TCP/IP stuff was not a
problem. It was getting a handle on MicroSoft's spin on it that I had
to gear up for. I used New Riders MCSE Training Guide for TCP/IP and
Transcender vers 4 for 70-059. (paid $180 for Transcender, but definately
think it was worth it !!) and of course the braindumps !!!
Had 58 questions.
6 or 7 questions on subnetting. I've seen numerous dumps
here suggesting memorizing tables. I've posted the techniques I used to pass
both my TCP/IP exams (Novell & Microsoft). I think it is an easier
way to look at subnetting, maybe someone can get something out of it
(www.erols.com/dpcssw/Subnet.com).
1 question on using ROUTE command to create static
mapping. It had a bit of spin on it from practice tests I took.
Most of the practice exams had 3 subnets and 2 routers with the subnets clearly
identified with the router port addresses. The one on the test had
4 routers. The question wanted to know how to add the routes for the
middle 2 routers. The router port addresses were given, but the subnet
address was not given. Basically, had to intuitively know that 198.223.8.2
with subnet mask 255.255.0.0 is subnet 198.223.0.0. Actually spent
more time on this question than any other one.
8-9 questions on utilities (none asking for specific switch
settings) - mostly giveaways :
command to display ethernet stats (netstat)
display changes from DHCP (ipconfig /all)
Modify LMHOSTS
(nbtstat)
IP to hardware address resolution
(arp)
Definately know difference between WINS and
DNS. Had a few questions along the lines where Bob can FTP to a site,
but can not connect to it using explorer (FTP uses DNS, Explorer uses
WINS).
1 question a bit tricky on node types. Bill can't connect
to a Windows NT server.
The server is not WINS enabled. The question displayed
a valid LMHOSTS file with a valid entry for the server. What is the
problem ? (w/s is p-node - uses only WINS)
3 or 4 questions on UNIX printing
Send a text file (LPR)
Display print queue (LPQ)
Set up printer on NT Server (TCP/IP Printing Service and
share)
1 question on WINS replication presented a bit differently than
on practice tests. Practice tests states Miami pushes to Dallas, Dallas
pulls from Miami etc, but the test presented a table showing sites on x axis
and PULL PARTNER / PUSH PARTNER filled in the table.
Had 5 or 6 scenario questions. Used suggestion I saw posted
here to set up a table :
R - required
O1 - option1
O2 - option 2
Filled it in as read through proposed solution. Came in
really handy on last 3 questions which was basically same scenario, (3 optional
requirements) and different proposed solutions.
A few questions on DHCP. Remember one concerning what
type option should be used for WINS server (scope).
That is about all I can remember now. Hope this helps
someone. Keep up the good work on this site !!!
