Subject: I just took 70-067 Jan. 10-1998
Hello Robert,
Thanks very, very much for hosting this innovative web site. The site has been a real eye opener to me and has helped. I took the exam January 1998 and passed.
The test was 55 questions 90 minutes, required 763 and I got 872 on my score. I was very pleased for about 20 seconds until I started thinking about ... which questions I may have missed. This brain dump is more than 24 hours later so here goes.
By the way. My study materials included the Official MS training course material (took the course about a year ago)., also used the "exam cram" NT Server 4 by Ed Tittle, Kurt Hudsonand J. Michael Stewart (very direct and helpful, had all the information that was covered on the exam in this book).
I cannot remember the order of the questions, but I do know I used the exam features (MARK, PREVIOUS, NEXT), etc.. I went through the whole exam answering all the easy questions, marking and answering (the best answer 1st time around), the questions I was not sure of and leaving a couple I didn't want to touch. By the time I went through the test the second time I had about 23 minutes left (out of 90), and about 20 questions left.
It then took me about 10 minutes to answer all (and confirm the ones I already answered), the questions left. I then had 9.? minutes left to check through the questions once again. There were no unix questions. No RISC questions. I am a CNE and this was my first MCSE test. Had many multiple choice questions that as you to "choose all that apply" (better know your stuff). Everyone has been telling me how hard the MSCE tests are but I was very prepared. I didn't think it was sooooo difficult. I've seen more difficult exams.
*Had several Installation questions.
*Had more questions than suspected on Performance monitor.
*Had a question on how to turn on Ras logging when you are experiencing problems with remote users logging in.
>The answer was to edit the registry on the NT server (not any details on where or what to do there)
* Had a question about upgrading a previous version of NT to NT 4.0. Would the registry edits, custom colors, user accounts, groups, network adapter settings etc.. transfer into NT 4.0 during the installation.
> The answer was that yes but you must install into the same "windows directory" of the previous version.
*How do you promote a server that is a bdc to a pdc from a remote NT w/s?
> promote the bdc to a pdc in Server Manager, the original pdc will automatically demote itself to a bdc.
* Had question about 10 NT workstation being transferred from another site and needing to be installed into your local domain1. The answers varied from but the one I chose was
> Login to the workstation as a DOMAIN ADMINISTRATOR and created the account on the domain and setup the workstation to login to the domain.
* What kind of machines can be configured to import scripts from the PDC that has directory replication running. I gave the following answer but I cannot be sure (right now), if I was correct.
> Only BDC's and PDC's
note: there was also a selection to include member servers but I thought no. I know a member server can be configured as an export server but why would it be an import server if it cannot authenticate user logins? I still don't know if this is correct.
There were questions about NTBACKUP.
* know you cannot backup the registry remotely.
* know you should have a tape backup on each PDC and BDC to accomplish the reg backup.
* know the difference between differiential and incremental (it comes up in a question)
There were questions about boot and setup disks
* what kind of startup disks can be created by Network Client Admin.
* what kind of setup disk sets can be created by Network Client Admin.
* know that file permissions are lost when copying or moving files from ntfs to fat.
*had a question about a four disk stripe set w/parity. they had four 250mb drives. How much disk space was available.
> 750mb ( one drive is used only for parity, not data).
* how many controllers and drives are needed, minium, for a stripe set with parity.
> one controller, three drives.
* know the boot files are on the system partician.
* know the systems files are on the boot partician (bass ackwards).
* what kind for fault tolerance config would protect the drives and controller failure
> duplex
* need to make a boot disk to boot off of my mirror'd drive in case the main disk fails. What file must be on there. It is a scsi controller with the no onboard bios.
>ntbootdd.sys
* had a question about a shared printer directly connected to a nt server 4.0. There is a NT server 3.51 also wanting to use the printer.
* question about migrating novell into nt. What should be installed on the NT server to do this.
> gateway services for netware (gsnw)
* had questions about a nt network , that has two netware clients, nw clients using different frame types what must be done for them to work?
everything is ok
install gsnw
install csnw
manually set both frame types on the nt server (answer)
* had another novell question about frame types. Can nt use auto-detect?
> no. (must specify the frame type).
note: know that the default frame type that is detectable by NT is ethernet_802.2
* questions about a network with one subnet. What do you need besides the IP address?
> subnet mask
* a company has multiple subnets. One department copies a billion byte file and hogs the network. What should be done. there were many answers.
I chose:
> install another network card, and turn on ip forwarding, put workstations that copy large files onto that subnet.
* RAS question. workstation has netbeui, tcp/ip. Server has netbeui, tcp/ip, ipx bound. What can a workstation do when logging in?
> answer was use an application), that needs ipx.
* a user needs to look at many options on the perfmon.
> user report view.
* user is made a member of a group but still can't access a dir. the group has access to. It tells you the groups he is a member of. One group has no access.
> remove user from group that has no access permission to directory.
