YES

r To apply policies in a domain that includes both the Windows 95 and the Windows NT Workstation operating systems, run System Policy Editor once from each platform. When running System Policy Editor on Windows 95, save policy settings to a file named Config.pol. Save the Config.pol file to the NETLOGON share on the PDC.

By default, a NT computer automatically downloads policy information stored in the Ntconfig.pol file, located on the domain controller that validated the logon request. However, system policy does not have to reside only on the domain controllers, and more than one system policy can apply in a domain.

To use a system policy located on a computer that is not a domain controller, first change the computer policy portion of the system policy from automatic remote update to manual remote update, and specify the path to the computer and system policy file locating on any computer in the domain, including the local computer.

Manual Remote Update: Use System Policy Editor on a NTS computer.

System Policy Editor has 2 modes: Registry mode and Policy File mode.

Registry Mode: Directly edit portions of the local registry of a computer. User needn’t log off and restart the computer to see the changes.

Policy File Mode: Create and modify a policy for a domain. Save Ntconfig.pol file in the NETLOGON on PDC.

Problem: If downloading system policies is very slow: Enable load balancing on Windows 95 computers to better balance network resources, or on NT computer, for Remote update, specify Manual (Use Specific Path), and use computers other than the domain controllers to store the system policy files.

Problem: If user policies are downloaded from a user logged on to a Windows 95 computer, but when the same user logs on to a computer running Windows NT, the policies are not downloaded; or the policies are downloaded for NT only: If a user has a computer running both Windows 95 and NT, create a user policy in both system policy files (Config.pol & Ntconfig.pol).

r Who can implement system policy?->An Administrator

r A potential slowdown on the network can occur because computers running Windows 95 always search for their policies on the PDC by default. If load balancing is selected, after the initial logon, the Windows 95 client will take its policy from whichever logon server authenticates the user.

r RISC computers: system partitions must be formatted with the FAT file system. (>=2MB)

FAT is the most efficient file system for partitions smaller than 400MB

MAC computers have maximum partition size of 2GB.

r NT prevents a deleted file from being undeleted.

r NTFS: Not case-sensitive but case-preserving;

File size: Up to 16EB theoretical, 4GB-64GB actural;

Partition size: Up to 16EB theoretical, 2 TB actural;

The Recommended minimum partition size is 50MB.

1T=1024*1024G

r NTFS: If a file increases in size after it is on the drive, it may potentially become fragmented.

Defragment: Copy and copy back a file.

For performance reasons, compression is not supported on NTFS partitions with cluster size greater than 4KB.

Compression command: Compact.exe

NT on NTFS: winnt_root folder and all subfolders can be compressed, but NTLDR cannot, and paging file cannot be compressed while in use.

When a compressed file is moved to a folder that does not contain any compressed files, the folder does not appear in blue in NT Explorer.

r LFN: Aliases can be displayed using dir/x command.

The FAT root directory has a hard-coded limit of 512 entries.

Every LFN alias name: 13 characters of the file name.

r Volume Sets: 2-32 unformatted areas in ONE or more physical drives. Only NTFS volume sets can be extended (DISK ADMINISTRATOR/ PARTITION menu/EXTEND VOLUME SET). Not support NT boot and system partitions. In a volume set, data is written to one member of the set at a time until no space remains on that member. Unlike a strip set, in which data is written evently across all physical disks, one row at a time. NT writes the stripe sets in 64KB units.

r Command: format drive: [/fs: file-system][/V:label]

r Use the PARTITION menu in DISK ADMINISTRATOR to make a partition as active.

r NTVDM uses virtual device drivers (VDDs) to allow MS-DOS-based applications to access the system hardware.

PIF: Program tab->Windows NT->Windows NT PIF Settings dialog box.

Default autoexec.nt and Config.nt in systemroot\System32.

WOW (Win16 on Win32) is a 32-bit user-mode program. Win16 applications require an NTVDM.

r Four methods for Win16 application starting in its own NTVDM:

1. start /separate [path]application_executable
2. Run->Open->selecting Run in Separate Memory Space check box
3. Create a shortcut, on the Properties Shortcut tab, clicl the Run in Separate Memory Space check box
4. NT-Explorer->View->File Types->Edit->Open->include /separate switch using: cmd /c start /separate path\application_executable %1

r X-86 support OS/2 app in an OS/2 subsystem, RISC support OS/2 app only if they are bound app and running in a NTVDM.

r Command dcomcnfg is used to configure DCOM.

r Application Priority Level:

0-15: Dynamic Applications

16-31: Real-time Applications (Do not use paging file)

start /realtime application_executable priority==24;

start /high application_executable priority==13;

start /normal application_executable priority==8;

start /low application_executable priority==4;

Background application: Control Panel/System Properties/Performance tab/Boost settings

r You are running 2 Win16 Apps on a NTW computer with two microprocessors. Task Manager shows that only one is being heavily utilized, while the other is relative idle. How can you improve the performance?

A: The Win16 Apps are most likely running in the same NTVDM on one microprocessor, you should start each Win16 app in its own NTVDM.

r You wanna configure the Config.sys file to support an OS/2 app on NTW computer. You use Notepad to edit C:\Config.sys and save the file, but this is seems no useful. How can you do?

A: The OS/2 Config.sys file is not really a file.You must use an OS/2 text editor to edit OS/2 Config.sys file or use Registry Editor.

r You download a Win32-based app but it will not run on your PowerPC-based computer running NTW. Why?

A: The app is probably specific to the Intel platform. Win32-based app are source-compatible across NT.

r Your company uses a suite of multi-tier client/server applications. What NT service would you configure to let these applications run in a fully distributed, multiple-computer environment? What default parameters must be changed?

A: DCOM. The service must first be enabled, and permissions need to be set so that the appropriate users have permissions to access, change, or delete components as needed.

TDI: transport driver interface

Boundary layer: a programming interface

Two Boundary layers: TDI and NDIS4.0

r Network Component Overview:

ReKernel Mode

r DLC (Data Link Control) is used primarily to access printers connected directly to the network, or to access systems network architecture (SNA) mainframes. (And RAS)

r Workstation Service: MUP(Multiple UNC Provider); Server Service: MPR(Multiple Provider Router) supporting multiple redirectories.

r Dfs: The Windows NT Distributed File System. Dfs directory tree is used in browsing.

r You are able to connect from your NTW computer to shared folders on any other computers running Windows NT. However, no other computers can connected to the shared folders on your computer. In addition, although you are logged on as Administrator, your shared folders do not appear with the shared symbol in Windows NT Explorer. What is the likely cause of the problem?

A: The Server Service is probably disabled. Without this your computer cannot share resources.

r NetBIOS over TCP/IP: NetBT

r TCP/IP utilitites:

Nbtstat: Displays protocol statistics and connections using NetBIOS over TCP/IP;

Netstat: Displays TCP/IP protocol statistics and connections;

Route: Displays or modifies the local routing table;

Tracert: Checks the route to a remote system;

r NWLink: supporting networking API: Winsock & NetBIOS over IPX

Internal Network Number: used in FPNW or RIP router for IPX/SPX

NetWare2.2 and 3.11: 802.3;

NetWare 3.12 and higher: 802.2

r IPX network number, or external network number, can be set in the registry, unlike IPX internal network number.

It is necessary to manually assign a unique non-zero internal network number in the following situations:

1. FPNW and multiple frame types on a single adapter;
2. FPNW and NWLink bound to multiple adapters;
3. An application is using SAP, such as SQL Server and SNA Server.

r RIP routing over IPX broadcasts routing information, such as network addresses.

Command: ipxroute config

r NetBEUI is for 20-200 computer LAN. Since NetBEUI is not routable, computers running Windows NT and NetBEUI must be connected using bridges instead of routers.

NBF: NetBEUI Frame is the implementation of NetBEUI that is included with NT.

r TCP/IP, NetBEUI and NWLink are bound to Workstation service, but only the routable protocols, NWLink and TCP/IP, are bound to the Server service.

r If the IP routers do not support RFC 1542, a DHCP server is required on each subnet.

r DHCP Clients:

1. NTS & NTW 3.5 or later (Not running DHCP Server service);
2. Win95;
3. Windows for Workgroups 3.11;
4. Microsoft network Client 3.0 for MS-DOS;
5. Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2c;

WINS Clients:

1. NTS & NTW 3.5 or later;
2. Win95;
3. Windows for Workgroups 3.11 running Microsoft TCP/IP-32;
4. Microsoft network Client 3.0 for MS-DOS with real-mode TCP/IP driver from the Microsoft Windows NT Server CD;
5. Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2c for MS-DOS. LAN Manager 2.2c for OS/2 is not supported;

Windows-based networking clients can use WINS directly. Non-WINS computers that use broadcasts can access WINS through proxies.

r FQDN: fully qualified domain names (FQDN). Such as widgets.universal.com.

r Use DNS Manager to configure and manage DNS.

RR(DNS Resource Record) types: Owner, Class, TTL

r Browser Roles:

Domain master browser (PDC);

Master browser;

Backup browser;

Potential browser;

Use Registry Editor to change the MaintainServerList value.

r You have NT network with TCP/IP as the only available protocol. Your NTW is using DNS and WINS. You can use FTP to connect to any UNIX host by using the host name for the UNIX host, but unable to connect to the NT Server in your domain. What do you suspect is the cause of the problem?

Answer: WIN server is unavailable.

The situation is the same as the previous, and you can connect to NT Server in your domain, but are unable to use FTP to connect to any UNIX host.

Answer: DNS server is either unavailable or does not contain a resource record for the UNIX host.

r PPTP:

Advantages: Lower transmission costs; low hardware costs; lower administrative costs; security;

PPTP is a networking technology that supports multi-protocol virtual private networks (VPNs).

PPTP supports IPX, NetBEUI and TCP/IP;

r SLIP:

1. Require a static IP address, no support DHCP or WINS;
2. Relies on text-based logon sessions, usually requires a scripting system;
3. Supports TCP/IP, but no IPX/SPX or NetBEUI;
4. Transmits authentication password as clear text.

r The PPP Multilink Protocol combines multiple physical links into a logical bundle that increase bandwidth. (Two 28.8 Kbps modems and two PSTN lines can reach 57.6 Kbps)

r CSNW enables a computer running NT to connect directly to and browse a NetWare server.

r RAS includes a NetBIOS gateway by which remote clients can gain access to NetBIOS resources, such as file and print services, on a network.

RAS server can be a IPX router and a SAP agent for Dial-Up Networking clients.

To connect to a RAS server, users must have a valid NT user account and RAS dial-in permission.

r Dial-Up Networking PPP multilink protocol requires:

r The Dial-Up Networking client stores all of its configuration data for a single connection in a phonebook file. A phonebook can be specific to an individual user or shared among all users on the computer. A phonebook shared in this way is called a system phonebook.

r The AutoDial database can including IP addresses, internet host names, or NetBIOS names. Win95 and NT versions earlier than 4.0 do not support AutoDial. AutoDial does not support IPX connections and only works with the TCP/IP and NetBEUI protocols. AutoDial only works when the Remote Access Autodial Manager is running.

A user can enable and disable AutoDial in the User Preferences dialog box for a phonebook entry.

r If a user has problems being authenticated over PPP, a Ppp.log file can be created in the systemroot\System32\Ras folder by modifying registry. (device.log is also in this folder)

r You use Dial-Up Networking frequently using a 28.8 Kbps modem. It takes a very long time to log on. Without buying another modem, how can you speed up the process?

ANSWER: Configure your computer so that it does not download your server-based profile during the logon process across RAS.

r During the IIS or PWS installation, the Internet Guest account, IUSR_computername, is created. By default, this account is used when allowing anonymous connections. The Internet Guest account is added to the Guests group.

r IIS: 2 types of authentication: Basic and NT Challenge/Response

The FTP services supports only basic authentication, so an FTP site is more secure if only anonymous connections are allowed.

r Computer running CSNW and NWLink supports:

1. NCP(NetWare Core Protocol);
2. LIP(Large Internet Protocol);
3. LFNS(Long file names).

r Although NT 4.0 supports connections to NDS, it does not support ADMINISTRATION of NDS trees.

Like CSNW, GSNW supports NDS and the bindery-based 3.x versions.

r Installing GSNW:

1. Set up a user account with the same password both on the NetWare server and NTS, and configure it as the gateway account;
2. The user account must have the necessary permissions for resources on the NetWare server;
3. A group account called NTGATEWAY must be created on the NetWare server;
4. The group NTGATEWAY on the NetWare server must include the user account mentioned above.

CSNW->NCPs->NetWare server;

NetWare Clients IPX/SPX->NCPs->FPNW and NetWare server;

r A NT computer with NWLink and CSNW or GSNW enabled can also be used to administer the NetWare servers, by using Syscon, RConsole and PConsole.

FPNW is compatible with the standard NetWare utilities such as Syscon. However, using these utilities to administer an FPNW server is not recommended; use the NT administration utilities instead.

r DSMN (Directory Service Manager for NetWare) extends NTS directory service features to NetWare servers and allows management of mixed NT and NetWare environment with Windows NT Directory Services. DSMN copies NetWare user and group account information to a primary domain controller.

DSMN tasks:

1. Specify which NetWare user and group accounts to manage centrally from the computer running NTS;
2. Merge account names from multiple NetWare servers into one account name;
3. Specify which NTS domain accounts (user and group) to copy back to NetWare servers for being synchronized with the NetWare server.

r Migration Tool for NetWare:

Command: Nwconv.exe

r CSNW Options:

…Add Form Feed: Notify the printer to eject a page at the end of each document that is sent;

Notify When Printed: Receive notification when documents have been printed;

Print Banner: Notify the printer to print a banner page before each document that is printed.

r Before installing GSNW, you should remove any existing NetWare redirectors, such as NetWare Services for Windows NT from Novell, and then restart the computer.

Except Gateway button, GSNW configuration is the same as CSNW.

In Configure Gateway dialog box, Gateway Account must be a member of NTGATEWAY group on all NetWare servers needed. In Permissions (Set permissions to control user access to a gateway.) button, the default permission for a gateway is Full Control for Everyone.

r You have established a gateway on a computer running Windows NT Server to a NetWare volume. You have assigned Full Control permissions to your Domain Users group and yet your users are complaining that they cannot save files to a directory through the gateway. What is the likely cause of the problem?

ANSWER: The NTGATEWAY group on the NetWare server has not been assigned the appropriate level of rights on the NetWare server. The gateway cannot grant greater permissions than the NetWare rights allow.

r CAL: Client Access License

A server license is included with NTS. This server license permits installation of Windows NT Server on only ONE computer. A server license should not be confused with Per Server license for CALs.

2 administrative tools:

1. The Licensing program in Control Panel;
2. The License Manager program on the Administrative Tools (Common) menu.

r A specified number of Per Seat licenses assigned to the group. The number of CALs required for a license group corresponds to the number of computers used by the group, rather than the number of users in the group. License groups are used in:

1. Multiple users use one computer;
2. Multiple users use several computers;
3. One user uses multiple computers.

r NTS 4.0 supports Windows for Workgroups as a client, but does not include the Windows for Workgroup software. The version of TCP/IP included with Windows for Workgroups does not support DHCP and WINS. However, NTS does include Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups 3.11, which provides support for DHCP and WINS.

r Microsoft Network Client 3.0 for MS-DOS and Windows:

Supported protocols:

1. NetBEUI;
2. IPX (Not SPX) compatible transport;
3. TCP/IP (Support DHCP, does not support DNS or WINS);
4. Data link control (DLC).

r Client-based Network Administration Tools:

NTW: CPU at least a 486-DX/33, 12 MB of RAM, 2.5 MB free disk space on the system partition; the network administration tools are installed in the Srvtools folder on the system partition for the computer. Resource: CD-ROM drive:\Clients\Srvtools\Winnt

Win95: CPU at least a 486DC/33, 8MB of RAM, 3MB of free disk space in the system partition. Resource: CD-ROM drive:\Clients\Srvtools\Win95

r Service for Macintosh:

1. NTS with 2MB of disk space on an NTFS partition.
2. Macintosh havs a maximum partition size of 2 GB. If partition were larger than 2 GB, the available bytes would be 0.

r Your network uses both DHCP and WINS. Which of clients included with NTS would you deploy?

ANSWER: Win95 and LAN Manager 2.2c for MS-DOS are only included clients that support DHCP. TCP/IP-32 for Windows of Workgroups (included with NTS) can be added to Windows for Workgroups to provide DHCP and WINS support.

r Directory Replicator service can maintain identical folders include logon scripts, system policy files, and any other commonly used files on multiple servers. Updates made to the files in the master directory are replicated to the other designated computers. By default, systemroot\System32\Repl\Export is the mast export directory and is shared as REPL$.

The timing for checking replicated directories is set by the Interval parameter in the registry.

r Edit registry to set two entries:

(1)Interval-REG_DWORD

(2)GuardTime-REG_DWORD

Status of receiving update in Server Manager: OK, No Master (not receiving updates), No Sync (receiving none-current updates), blank (Replication never occur)

r Use Event Viewer to view the error in the Application log.

r Use Server Manager to check that the account used by the Directory Replicator service for the import computer has permission to read the files on the export server.

r Replication to a Domain Name Over a WAN Link: In From List on an import computer, specify the computer names (instead of – or in addition to – specifying the domain name) for computers that are separated by a WAN bridge.

r Logon Script Are Not Working: store the logon scripts in the local directory:

systemroot\System32\Repl\Import\Scripts

r You are one of several administrators for your network. Your network has been using directory replication successfully for some time. Today, you needed to modify some of the files in one of the export folders, so you placed a lock on that folder. When you finished making your changes, you noticed that there were now two locks on the folder. Why would this happed, and should you remove both of them?

ANSWER: Another administrator is probably working on the files and placed her own lock on the folder. Removing both locks will cause the folder to begin replicating again.

NT BOOT:

BOOT.INI->NT [or BOOTSECT.DOS->…]->NTDETECT.COM->SCSI BIOS DISABLE?->NTOSKRNL.EXE->LOGON

1. Ntdetect.com is not needed on RISC-based computers.
2. Bootsect.dos stores partition information specific to the computer. This file cannot be borrowed from another computer.

r Running Rdisk.exe requires Administrators or Power Users group privileges.

r Event View: Event Logs: The System and Applciation logs can be viewed by all users; Security logs are accessible only to administrators.

r There is a setting in the registry that can be used to cause the system to halt or permitting only Administrator to log on when the Security log is full.

r Default recovery file name is Memory.dmp. Use Savedump.exe writes dumps to pagefile which is at least as large as the amount of physical memory. Use Dumpexam.exe in the Support\Debug\platform folder on CD to debug the system.

y You can migrate NetWare 2.X, 3.X or 4.X servers. The Migration Tool for NetWare does not support NetWare 4 NDS or Novell Directory Services.

NetWare Items that can be migrated:

1. User accounts
2. Group accounts
3. Directories and files that you specify
4. NetWare permissions on the directories and files that are migrated

In order for file and directory permissions to be migrated, the destination NT directory must be NTFS.

1. User passwords
2. Login scripts
3. Print queues and print servers
4. User Account Manager and Workgroup Manager specification

Prerequisites to using the Migration Tool for NetWare:

1. Administrative rights on the NetWare side and NT side;
2. User and group information can only be migrated to a DC;
3. GSNW and NWLink on NT;

Migrating:

1. Administrative Tools(Common)->Migration Tool foe NetWare
2. OR RUN "\WINNT\SYSTEM32\NWCONV.EXE"

y In NetWare migration, The mapping file is used to specify how users, groups, and passwords will be used on the NT server.

Passwords can not be transferred from the NetWare side to the NT side. Unless you specify the use of a mapping file that has password data, you must specify what will happen to the user’s passwords including "No Password ", "Password is Username", and "Password is: ".

None of no-mapping file options are secure, so it’s a good idea to use mapping file.

y In NetWare migration, Account Policy includes:

1. User Supervisor Defaults (The NetWare account policies override the NT account policies)
2. Add Supervisors to the Administrators Group

y RAS communication type: PSTN, ISDN, X.25, RS-232 null modem cables, PPTP

PPTP is a cost effective way.

RAS WAN protocols: SLIP(Only dial-out), PPP

WAN LAN protocols: NetBEUI, IPX, TCP/IP

y TCP/IP is the only protocol that supports the Windows Sockets API. If your users require access to applications that use the Windows Sockets API, it should be listed first in the bindings order.

y You can specify if a user is authorized for RAS through:

1. Remote Access Admin
2. User Manager for Domains (through the Dialin property box of EACH USER)

y You can configure the NetWare print options in the main GSNW properties dialog box:

1. NetWare Preferred Server
2. NetWare default tree and context
3. NetWare print options
4. NetWare login script options

You can not configure the NetWare login script options in the main GSNW properties dialog box:

1. NetWare file access
2. NetWare mapped network drives

y List three logging options you can select during a NetWare migration.

1. Pop-up errors;
2. Verbose User/Group logging;
3. Verbose File logging

y If you are configuring TCP/IP for RAS and you specify that you will use a static address pool, other than IP addresses, what IP configuration can be configured on the RAS server?

Nothing, only the IP addresses.

y TRUE or FALSE. The following authentication methods can be used with the RAS Require encrypted authentication option.

MS-CHAP TURE

SPAP TURE

PAP FALSE

y TURE or FALSE. A RAS client can call into an NT server running RAS with the SLIP protocol.

FALSE

y The Required Microsoft encrypted authentication option specifies that the MS-CHAP encryption method be used.

y You are configuring a Windows 95 computer that will be used to dial in to a UNIX server. You want to use the protocol with the lowest amount of overhead. What WAN protocol should you use?

1. PPP
2. SLIP
3. TCP/IP
4. IPX/SPX

->(b)

y You are supporting an NT server that will be used for remote access. You install a RAS server. What LAN protocols can be installed?

1. NetBEUI
2. NWLink
3. IPX/SPX
4. TCP/IP
5. AFP

y Monitoring Processor:

(a) %Processor Time

(b) Interrupts per second (If over 3500 on a Pentium or RISC computer, indicating poorly written program or device driver, or a failing piece of hardware.)

y Monitoring Memory:

1. The Cache object, Data Map Hits% counter;
2. The Memory object, Pages/Sec

y Monitoring LogicalDisk:

1. Average Disk Queue Length ( should not exceed two)
2. %Disk Time

y Monitoring Network:

1. NetBEUI object
2. TCP/IP object
3. NWLink object

It is important to note that in order to track the TCP/IP-related counters, you must first install the SNMP service on the computer that you want to track TCP/IP statistics on.

y Performance Monitor Views: Chart, Alert, Log, Report

y Blue screen or stop messages during installation can be caused by incorrect or outdated drivers being initialized.

y NT boot files: NTLDR, BOOT.INI, BOOTSECT.DOS, NTDETECT.COM, NTOSKRNL.EXE, NTBOOTDD.SYS (Using SCSI controller with the BIOS disabled)

y Last Known Good Option: The system saves successful configuration in the registry under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet".

y Run the RDISK /s to save the Registry information to the ERD.

y If you suspect that a modem is not working properly, you can edit the registry and change the Logging entry to 1. This will enable a log called DEVICE.LOG to be created in the \WINNT\SYSTEM32\RAS folder. This log, which records all data that travels between the RAS server, communication devices, and RAS Clients, can be used to diagnose modem connections.

y Make sure that the client and server are using a common protocol.

y TCP/IP Diagnostic Utilities:

IPCONFIG; PING; ARP;

NETSTAT (Show TCP/IP statistics and any current connections);

ROUTE; IPXROUTE (Verify all local tables are properly defined);

TRACERT (Trace the route of a packet across an internetwork, sending ICMP like PING );

y NTFS permission: In the case of that Read permission folder has inherited Read permission files, by specifying that the audit file had Change permission, the specific file permission would override the folder permissions.

y Mirror Set Failure on the Boot Partition:

1. Boot with the NT boot disk;
2. Break the mirror set and delete the failed partition;
3. Copy the BOOT.INI from the disk to the system partition;
4. Replace the failed hardware;
5. Using the free space on the new drive, establish a new mirror set.

y The NTLDR boot file is used to control the boot process.

y Your company uses an NT network. You have installed and configured several print servers and network printers for your users. One of the print servers is not working correctly. Users send their jobs, but for some reason, they are not printing properly. What course of action should you take?

1. Delete the printer that is causing problems, re-create the printer, ask the users to resubmit their print jobs.
2. Delete the printer that is causing problems, re-create the printer, recreate the shared printer, and ask the users to resubmit their print jobs.
3. Stop the spooler service and then restart the spooler service.
4. Stop the print server service and then restart the spooler service.

->(c)

y Your network uses a mixture of NT and NetWare servers. For compatibility, you have standardized on the NWLink IPX/SPX compatible transport on your NT computers. One of your NT servers acts as a gateway to the NetWare servers and is running GSNW. A user is sitting at the NT server and tries to access NetWare resources. The user can see some NetWare servers, but cannot see other NetWare servers. What is the most likely problem?

(a)…

(b)…

(c)You have not configured the default gateway properly in the NWLink IPX/SPX compatible transport properly.

(d)The servers that you can see are using the same NWLink frame type that the NT server is configured with and the servers you don’t see are using a different frame type. You should use manual configuration and select multiple frame types to match what all servers on the network are using.

->(d) Because: If the gateway were configured improperly, you would still see the NetWare server, you would just receive an error when you tried to access the resources.

y You have a dual-language HP printer that switches between PCL and PostScript printing. You want to make sure that the printer can switch modes correctly. What is the best way to manage this?

1. Create two printers, one called PCL and one called PostScript. Advise users to send their jobs to the appropriate printer.
2. Make sure that you are using the HP network print monitor, Hpmon.dll.
3. Use separator files.
4. The printer will automatically switch back and forth and this never causes problems.

->(c)By defining a separator page, the printer is able to switch modes properly.

y You have configured your NT server’s hard drive so that you have two partitions. A 20 MB FAT partition, C:\, and a 1GB NTFS partition, D. The system is configured so that the only files on the C:\ are files needed to boot NT. A disgruntled employee tried to sabotage your server and managed to format the C:\ drive before he was caught. No other damage was done, but now NT cannot boot. What should you do to recover from this situation?

1. Call 911.
2. Boot from ERD and specify that you want your boot files fixed.
3. Boot from the three setup floppies and use the repair option with your ERD to fix the boot files.
4. Format a floppy on another NT server using NTFS. Copy the boot files over, then boot with the floppy you have just created.

->(c)

y You have a mixture of clients that dial in to your RAS server. The clients are Microsoft and non-Microsoft clients. The non-Microsoft clients are able to send their RAS passwords through the CHAP authentication protocol. Based on this scenario, what is the highest level of security that could be imposed at the RAS server?

1. Allow clients to specify encryption level.
2. Allow any authentication including clear text.
3. Require encrypted authentication.
4. Require Microsoft encrypted authentication.

->(c)

y Configure the Server optimization to Maximize Throughput For Network Applications:

Control Panel->Network->Services->Server->Properties

y The NetWare 3.11 servers use the Ethernet_802.3 frame types and the NetWare 3.12, NetWare 4.1, and NetWare 4.11 servers use Ethernet_802.2 frame types.

g If the PDC was offline during the promotion of the BDC, then, when you boot up the former PDC after promotion of the former BDC, the former PDC shall not be accessible from the new PDC, in fact, it shall appear grayed from the Server Manager of the new PDC.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE:

You want to demote your PDC to a member server, and your BDC a PDC. You've installed NT Admin tools on your 95 workstation. How do you do this?

First off, it shouldn't make a flying hoot if your doing this on the server or on a remote workstation. Keep that in mind.

Second, the only way your PDC is going to be a member server is if you reinstall NT. No if's, and's, or butt's about it.

Third, you CANNOT 'demote' a PDC. There is NO option for this ANYWHERE. You can, however, 'promote' a BDC to a PDC, then reboot the original PDC, and it will detect the new PDC and become a BDC. Now, put down the crack pipe, and please back away. Slowly.
