Subject:  Nt Server Enterprise 70-68

I would like to thank the people who host this web site, it is a valuable tool.  Now, please post my braindump this time.  You did not the last time for 70-67.  I am trying to contribute, but if you don't post my dump, I can't.

Passed Nt Enterprise today with a 901.  For the most part, the scenario questions posted on the other braindumps are the same as well as the other standard questions that are very simple and straight forward multiple choice.

Warning: there were several questions that I have not seen mentioned on other braindumps, on Transc$%8, and Exam Crams.  Be prepared for these different questions.  You need to have an understanding of the concepts to get these questions correct, and thus pass the exam.  I mean, these are out of NOWHERE!!!!  I could only remeber one of the new ones, it is number 3.

I am reiterating again the common scenario questions and a few others to let you know how I answered them.  There must be something to my answers and the others that I read on other dumps and concurred with, because we all scored in the 90s if you look at them.  Not to pick on some, Surfer has an excellent dump, but he has some wrong answers, that is why he scored in the 800s.  Yancy's is good, as is weekends and a few others I can't remember.  If they scored in the 90s, you better believe their answers, understand them, and cross reference them, including mine!!!!

1) Got the 2 backup scenarios.  One of the scenarios gave the Create Global group Corp/Allbackup in the Corp domain, then Create the Local groups Sales/backup, Marketing/backup, and Corp/backup.  Assign the right to the local Sales, Marketing, and Corp groups the Right to Backup and Restore files.  Place the global group Corp/Allbackup into these local groups.

The required and optional results were the standards mentioned in other braindumps.

Answer: Meets the required and no optionals.  You can't backup the member servers and workstations with this setup.  Just the domain controllers.

2)  The next question for this Allbackup group was the same, except they tried to throw you for a loop.
The proposed solution was, Create the Corp/Allbackup group, Create local Marketing/backup, Sales/backup and Corp/backup groups.  Assign the right to Backup and Restore files to the local groups.  Place the global Corp/Allbackup group in the local groups.  Here is the twist, then place the Corp/Allbackup into the member servers backup groups and the workstations backup group.

Answer:  Meets the required and both optionals.

At first it threw me off by doing the assigning the rights to the groups things again, I almost thought it was the same question twice in a row, but they threw on the end, add global to each member server and workstatioin local backup making the required and optionals possible.  Just a twist, but tricky.

3)  Here is a new one.  You have two domains.  Sales and Corp.  There is no trust between the two domains.  You want the local users of Sales to be able to backup an NTFS directory on the Corp domain.  What are the steps to make this possible.

Answer:  They give your four multiple choice options.  I think D was the choice I put.  Create a trust so Corp trusts Sales. You need to follow the standard procedure of creating a global group in Sales, add the Sales domain users to this group, place this group into the local backup operator group in Corp.  The other three options gave you scenarios of putting local into local groups, not creating trusts, or adding users across the trusts into the local group.  You need to read all the options carefully!!!!  Stick with the Microsoft recommended procedures for adding groups and giving them rights!!  My head started to hurt at this point, it was probably the 10th question on the test.

4)  Had both of the RAS questions with people dialing in.  The first proposed solution was, use Clear text authentication.

Answer:  It meets the required and one optional.

5)  The second proposed solution was, the usual, make password 8 characters, change them every 40 days, Callback Set by caller, use Microsoft Encrypted Authentication, and use data encryption.

Answer:  Met required and both optionals.

6)  You want to establish a baseline of all Server performance. What tool would you use. (Can only choose One)
a. Response probe
b. Network monitor
c. excel
d. Performance monitor

Answer:  D. Performance monitor allows you to establish a baseline of all servers performance statistics.  You could only choose one here.

7)  You have an Access database that performs database calculations for 200 files (or something like that).  What do you set the server performance for. (Place the target over the diagram)

Minimize memory
Balance
Maximize throughput for File Sharing
Maximize for Network Application

Answer:  I put the target over File sharing.  Only got 88% on optimizing, I think this is what many others have put.  So I went with it also.

8)  Got the printing problem with Management, Marketing, and those darn number crunching Accountants.

Answer:  Still meets Required and all optional....easy...

9)  Long drawn out thing with Mary and permissions.  You have to look at diagrams of NTFS permissions, and Share permissions for the groups she is in and find her resultant permissions.  She was in Sale/Sales Rep group.  They both had Read for NTFS and Share in the diagrams.  Resultant permission...

a. No access
b. Change
c. Read
d. Full control

Answer:  C, Read permission.  Not rocket science on this one....but alot of reading and picking question apart.

10)  You have two domains, Sales and Marketing.  Marketing trusts Sales.  A user logs into the Sales domain from a workstation attached to the Marketing domain.  What rights does the user have?

a.  everything Sales/domain users
b.  everything Sales/domain guests
c.  everything Marketing/domain users
d.  everything Marketing/domain guests

Now they say nothing about a Master domain setup, a single domain setup, or guest accounts disabled.  There is no winning on this question.  I assumed (dangerous) that it was a master domain setup, since they trusted the sales, their user accounts must of been already on Sales domain. But, guest is usually disabled by default, but makes no mention of this fact.  I went with:

Answer:  A, Sales/domain users and what they have rights to.  Microsoft is really being vague with this one, bastards! I still don't know the answer.  This is why Novell is far superior, not so darn senseless.

11)  You have 6 SCSI disks.  The boot/system files are on the first disk.  The other 5 disks are configured as a stripe set with parity.  The first disk dies, how do you recover?

a. replace the failed disk, reinstall NT, restore Registry from tape backup
b. replace the failed disk, reinstall NT, restore Registry from Emergency Repair Disk
c. replace the failed disk, reinstall NT, recreate all the user accounts
d. some stupid answer

Answer: B.  My thinking is that once you reinstall NT, you can use the ERD and restore the entire user account SAM with rights.  But, you could probably do the same from Tape backup.  Not sure on this one.  I got 90% on troubleshooting, I usually have done excellent on this area.  So my thinking my be right, but, it could of been the one I missed!

12)  Had both of the fault tolerant scenarios.  One proposed solution, use Disk Striping with Parity.

Answer:  Required result, and One optional.

13)  Fault tolerant, Proposed solution, Disk Striping

Answer:  Does not meet the Required result or optionals

14)  You have three domains, Sales, Corp, and Marketing.  Users from the Sales and Corp Domain need to access resources on the Marketing domain. How would you set this up to make this possible.

Answer:  Set up two one way trusts where Marketing trust Sales, and Marketing trusts Corp.
This was simple enough.

15)  This is another new one I have not seen.  You have a network with 200 users.  You have 4 servers in the company.  You want to have centralized management of user accounts.  All users need to access resources on all of the servers.  What domain model would you use.
a. a member server in a workgroup (really an option)
b. single domain
c. complete trust
d. single master domain

Answer:  B.  This is the one I changed while reviewing.  They make no mention of needing resources centrally managed, or managed by each server.  Maybe I don't get the Single domain and Single master domain models, but they both seem like they could be the answer.  They both could manage the users centrally, and all users could then access resources on each server?!?!? I guessed at single master, but then changed to Single Domain model.

I had about 20 easy questions that are seen on the other dumps.  I didn't get anything about migrating and mapping files, just a couple of things about Microsoft Redirector that is needed, and need to put NWLink on the NT server for Netware connectivity.

Unfortunately, for the life of me, I can't remember the other 5 questions that I had never seen before.  That is because I didn't write them down during the test and take them with me.  But, they were your typical complicated scenarios.  I encoutered them all in the first 20 questions, they were mixed in with the many scenarios.  They involved mostly Trust scenarios and granting users rights across those trusts.   I was very concerned about the end of the test that maybe I wasn't going to pass, I then went through the questions again over the last 30 minutes and only changed one answer.  I then scored the 901.  So knowing the trusts and domain models is critical, not just the many common braindump questions you have seen.  I am sure they will throw just enough new ones at you to make it very tough.

Good Luck...Keith
