Dear All,

Just like to say a very BIG thanks to all those people who supplied brain-dumps for NT Server 4.0 70-067. Passed today with a 927, after failing my Networking Essentials and then finding your site. Will now have the confidence to go and re-do my Networking Essentials again.

I cannot say any of the questions were not in previous brain-dumps but 2 keep coming up for clarification. I recommend the same as everyone else, find out why the answers the brain-dumps give are correct, and if your not sure find any book to help. One not mentioned is Windows NT in a Nutshell, cheap book at under ?0, but gives sections on Control panel, Administrative tools etc, which was great for last minute look up features.

As in Star Wars "May the force be with you". Pass those exams.

I used Exam Cram book.

MS Technical Support books

MS resource kit books and CD

Some hands on with a computer set up with NT server.

MS PEP exams (free download)

Transcenders (Free demo download).

2 questions everyone seems to want to know: Got this straight from Microsoft Technical support pages.

SYMPTOMS

Even though the Windows NT Concepts and Planning Guide states, on page 88, that, you should be able to log on using cached profiles on the local workstation, USERS ARE DENIED ACCESS, THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOG ON, AND THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGE APPEARS IF THE SERVER BASED MANDATORY PROFILE IS NOT AVAILABLE:

Unable to log you on because your mandatory profile is not available.

Windows NT Concepts and Planning Guide Excerpt:

The Windows NT Concepts and Planning Guide states on page 88:

"If a user has a personal profile, the per-user settings are saved to both the user's personal profile and the locally cached version of the profile when the user logs off. The locally cached profile is identical to the updated personal profile.

If a user has a mandatory profile, changes made by the user during a session are not uploaded to the mandatory profile when the user logs off. The user can never change the mandatory profile. However, if the mandatory profile allows the user to make changes during a session, any changes made by the user are saved in the locally cached version of the mandatory profile. So, the next time the user logs on at this workstation, if the user's mandatory profile is unavailable, the locally cached profile is loaded, and the user will have the changes made during his or her last session."

RESOLUTION: THIS IS A DOCUMENTATION ERROR.

If a user logs on and both the server-based profile and local version of the profile are unavailable, the user is logged on using the computer's default profile, if the user has a personal profile. If the user has a mandatory profile, the logon attempt is denied. This is expected for mandatory profiles.

INSTALLING A SECOND PROCESSOR IN YOUR NT SERVER TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE, WHAT ACTION YOU SHOULD TAKE.

The answer is:

Use UPTOMP.EXE to Upgrade Single-Processor to Multiprocessor
