These are questions I wrote down or remember while making my tests...

Q1: How do you create a printerpool?
(sorry, no answer written down for this question)

Q2: How to create a homedir on a BDC for user Alf?

  1. User Manager for Domains: specify UNC-Path to homedirectory.
  2. User Manager for Domains: specify Domain, server, directoryname for homedirectory.
  3. In Explorer create homedir on BDC and assign "take ownership" to Alf.
  4. In Explorer create homedir and assign full control to Eric.

Hard thing, eh? I think the last answer is right. But really right is no one...

Q3: What to use to manage printer security on NT-Server from Win95?

  1. Server Manager
  2. User Manager for Domains
  3. Explorer
  4. Network option in control panel

Q4: Three Domaincontrollers, 25 NT-workstations. Mandatory roaming user profiles. The server where the profile is lying shuts down. What happens to a user who wants to log in to a workstation in the domain the first time?

  1. successful login, will receive Default user profile
  2. successful login, will receive her profiles from BDC, any changes made in this session will be lost.
  3. will not be able to login to domain
  4. user can choose to logon to the domain selecting a user profile from another server.

You will find the answer in TechNet "MS BackOffice and Enterprise Systems" - "MS BackOffice" - "MS Windows NT Server" - "Training" - "Windows NT Support" - "Advanced Server Administration".
Here you can find this: "If a user's mandatory profile is unavailable during logon, the user will not be able to log on to the system." Important is that also a mandatory profile is cached locally by the workstation. But in this question the user logs in to THIS workstation the first time, so no cached profile can be available.
The right answer should be 3.

Q5: Alf should logon on every workstation and get always the same desktop. How?

  1. On a Domain controller, System Properties copy Alfs userprofile to his user account.
  2. On a Domain controller, System Properties copy Alfs userprofile to the profiles directory.
  3. use User Manager for Domains to assign UNC-path to profile for Alfs account.
  4. User Manager for Domains to assign homedir to Alf. A roaming profile will be automatically created next time the user logs on.

Q6: Single domain, four Domaincontrollers. All network administrators use NT-workstations. You want to provide notfication to users who are administrators in the domain when a system event occurs on any of the servers. How?

  1. Add user names of admins to the Server Operators group. They will receive alerts automatically when system events occur.
  2. Start Alterter service on each workstation used by an administrator.
  3. On PDC use server manager to add the domain admins group to the list of names that should receive alerts.
  4. On each DC use Server manager to add the username of each administrator to the list of names that should receive alerts.

Q7: Your RAS-server has two internal modems. Remote users get disconnected immediately when they try to dial in. How to diagnose the problem?

  1. Use regedit to enable device logging.
  2. Use performance monitor to view RAS-connection details.
  3. Use network monitor to view RAS-connection details.
  4. Use RAS-admin utility to view port status.

Q8: Print device on server fails. Try to send waiting documents to another printer.

  1. Network neighbourhood, open printer on remote server. Copy and paste documents.
  2. Network neighbourhood, open printer on remote server. Drag documents to remote printer.
  3. Modify port properties of failed printer. Specify new port by using the UNC-name of remote-printer.
  4. Delete failed printer, create new one to print out remote.

Q9: You plan to set up a server. Data on different partition than system. Fast data retrieval, continued data access in event of hd-failure. How to implement?

  1. 2 disks, stripe set.
  2. 2 disks, 2 controllers. Stripe set with parity.
  3. 3 disks, stripe set with parity.
  4. 3 disks, volume set.

Q10: How to put a workstation into a domain?

  1. Domain admins use User Manager for Domains to create accounts for WS.
  2. Domain admins use Server Manager to add WS.
  3. Reinstall each WS.
  4. WS administrator must log on to each WS and use Control panel - Network (option?) to join WS to domain.

The answer should be 4. Only local Administrator can join a Workstation to a domain. Wenn the Workstation is not added to the domain (like in answer 2) by the Domainadministrator the local Administrator can do this himself by knowing the Administrators password (create "workstation account" [from my mind, I don't know the exact term]).

Q11: Convert FAT-partition to NTFS without losing data.

  1. Use Disk administrator, Tools.
  2. Convert utility from command line.
  3. ...some bad answers more... 

Q12: Excessive paging on server. Which activity to look for in performance monitor?

  1. number of pages/sec on server.
  2. % of physical disc activity.
  3. % of paging file in use.
  4. peak % of paging file in use.

Q13: How to increase performance of server for less than 10 connections. Which setting to configure?

  1. Workstation service.
  2. Server service.
  3. Virtual memory.
  4. Foreground application performance.

Answer is 2. This can only be configured on servers not on workstations!

Q14: You want to view contents for TCP/IP-connectivity on three servers.You will run performance monitor on your workstation to view this information.
What must you do before you can view these counters?

  1. Install SNMP service on each server.
  2. Install SNMP service on each workstation.
  3. Create a logfile on TCP/IP-performance counters.
  4. Create a report on TCP/IP-performance counters.

Another "only wrong answers". Can you help?

Q15: NT-server with 4 x 2 Gigabytes harddisk. You want to be able to continue operations if one HD fails. You decide to implement disk fault tolerance. You want to maximize the available disk space. How?

  1. Disk mirroring.
  2. Disk duplexing.
  3. Disk striping.
  4. Disk striping with parity.

Q16: Server bootsector-virus. You erase MBR. After restart you receive the message that operating system could not be found. What to do?

  1. Format floppy with another NT. Use this disk to start failed server, use SYS-command.
  2. Use NT-installationdisks to start. When prompted use Emergency Repair disk to recover Boot partition.
  3. Use rdisk to repair system partition.
  4. Start failed server with a disk containing NT-system files and running Disk administrator.

Q17: Stripe set with parity. Three drives, 1 scsi-controller, one disk fails. Drive that contains boot files and system partition was unaffected.
You reboot (how a 1000 times before, sigh). What should you do next to recover the stripe set with parity.

  1. Back up data to tape. Use disk administrator to delete existing stripe set and create new one.
  2. Disk administrator. Select existing stripe set members. On new disk select area of free space that is at least same size as each of the existing stripe members. Choose "regenerate" from Fault tolerance menu.
  3. Create partition that is equal to other stripe members. Use Diskadmin, regenerate.
  4. Do nothing. NT server detects new drives and recovers automatically.

Answer is 2.

Q18: Give the ARC-pathname in boot.ini for the mirrored system partition:
Disk0: Systempartition, Datapartition, Datapartition
Disk1: Datapartition, mirrored Systempartition, Datapartition

  1. scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(0)
  2. scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)
  3. scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(2)
