How to regen a Mirror and
Regen a Stripe with parity
You'll be asked about picking the best config for a system with 4 SCSI
drives,
your goals are
speed, single drive can't cause a failure and max space available. At first
I
picked a 4 drive
stripe set, then remembered couldn't boot from it, then picked a boot drive
plus
3 drive stripe
then remembered if the single boot drive failed that wouldn't meet the
requirment. Started
to pick Duplex, but the question didn't offer two controllers, simple mirror
was
the answer.

Know how to take a jammed printer's spool files and direct them to another

Domains,

Question about file MOVE within same NTFS partition (permissions stay same)
Question about using Disk Admin Tools to convert a FAT to NTFS (trick is
that
you need to
note it's a fat partition on a physical drive that already has a NTFS

Your setting up a RAS server for a group that won't be accessing resources
out
of thier own
network, you set their IP address, what else MUST you do, answer was SUBNET
MASK.
One microsoft sell job question. Users are accessing RAS using a 3rd party
PPP
tool that only
has DES encryption, what should you the RAS admin require so that they have
better security?
Answer was Microsoft Encryption....nasty shot I thought.
Two questions referencing replacing failed drives. Must you Partition
before
you format?
Must you format before you add to a stripe?
One easy one where a SALES person joins the MANAGER group and can's access a

One question on a boot sector virus wiped out the boot drive. Do you go to
another system

Three questions about making an Emergency BOOT diskette.
1) Pick the BOOT.INI ARC entry to point to a different boot partition where
it's
the second partition on the second drive
2) Edit the BOOT.ini to point to the other Mirror drive in case the primary
fails
3) What file do you need to make an Boot diskette for a two SCSI system
where
the second controller isn't
bios enabled, it's the filename that ends in DD ( i remember it as Damn
Drive).
Question about a company with three sites. The remote sites all run WS with
Netbeui, but use TCPIP and routers to
get to the central sites servers. 90% of access is local, 10% remote.
Rearrange the bindings to optimize the access.
Obvious answer was to put NETBUEI first on the WS and the remote sites.
Question about a user going to a roaming profile, where do you make the
