Subject: 70-67 test
Failed it two weeks ago with a 727, passed it yesterday with an 872.
Planning 100 %
Installation and Configuration 71 %
Managing Resources 80 %
Connectivity 87 %
Monitoring and Optimization 100 %
Troubleshooting 100 %
All this is old news to most of you but these were factors in improving my score.
1. Download the preparation guide for the exam. I totally got blindsided
by the Monitoring and Optimization, and Troubleshooting sections the first
time because I didn't know the test outline.
I took the MOS courses, which include stuff on OS/2, MACs, DCOM, POSIX.
None of these items where on the guide or on the test.
2. Read server.hlp. It's pretty easy to read, doesn't go too deep, and it is Microsoft's own words.
Several scenario questions of what type of file system to use. Know your disk mirroring, duplexing, and stripe set with parity well.
You want to install Server NT from the CD onto a Machine running dos.
1. Run WINNT from DOS with /b switch.
2. Run WINNT from DOS with /s switch.
3. Run WINNT32
3. Boot from boot disk.
The weird part is this was multiple choice. The only one I agreed was right was boot from disk, but it didn't say anything about having the disk in the question. I choose 1 because /b bypasses create boot disk. ???
Doing an installation and NT does see your CD drive what do you do?
Backup to taking too long on a network of 2 servers and 10 workstations
Tape drive is currently on PDC. How do you speed it up?
1. Put a second drive on the PBC.
2. Put a second drive on the BDC. Have it backup workstations, with the PDC backup the servers.
3. put a backup on a workstation.
? I don't know. I choose 2. I think the best deal would be to put a tape on the BDC, have it back itself up and half the workstations and the PDC back itself up and the other stations. That way the servers each get their registries backed up. But that wasn't a choice.
Question on Installing tape backup unit to a SCSI adapter. Lots of multiples
a. install driver for tape
b. install driver for SCSI adapter.
c. initiate SCSI adapter with SCSI program in Control Panel.
d. restart computer
I don't have a lot of confidence but I choose b, c
One question on replication with an exhibit. I choose you can put the file in any subdirectory of the export directory.
Couple of questions on using Admin tools with windows 95 and whether you use Server tool or Explorer. There seems to be no agreement in this forum but I think this is your guide. If it is a share use Server, if it is a file NTFS permission use Explorer. Use Explorer for printers.
Joe is promoted from Sales to Management. Complains he can't access a directory. Take Joe out of Sales group which has no access to resource. *** No acess overrides all other permissions ***
What happens when PDC is down and user can't load a mandatory profile.
I answered he gets the default user profile.
Question on how to create a roaming profile. Copy it from Service manager, profiles tab.
If you want someone's home directory on a different server type the UNC path in User Manager for Domain.
Several questions about copying and moving files within a NTFS partition, to a FAT partition.
Question of accessing resources on a member server. Create a global group on the PDC and add to a local group on the member server.
Remember must reinstall NT if want to make a member server a PDC or BDC.
Of course several questions on RAS and Netware connectivity.
Have 3rd party clients dialing in using DES. what level authenication to use?
I choose MS because it uses DES.
If you want clients to choose their level of authenication choose any including clear text on the server.
RAS server uses DHCP to assign addresses to remote clients. What other services can get from DHCP to client. WINS, DNS, default gateway, subnet mask, mail server.
Other RAS tips that aren't clear in books. Authenication is for the whole RAS server, but you can specify per PROTOCOL whether access is to server only or whole net.
You don't specify authentication per PORT, just whether can dial in,out,or both.
Basic questions on netware connectivity. Remember to use GSNW you must have GROUP NTGATEWAY on the netware server. Assign permissions to the group not user.
If you have a netbios enabled application on either NetWare or NT server all you need is NWLINK to access that application. keyword is usually SQL Server.

Want to monitor TCP/IP on several servers from a workstation. Install SNMP on each of the servers.
If you want to be alerted when an event happens. It is per server, per individual.
You have excess paging. Add memory
You are monitoring several servers and your workstation is running real slow. Increase the monitoring frequency on your workstation.
You want to measure something for a week. Use log.
Which counter do you watch to spot excessive paging.
Move paging file off system partition to increase performance.
Clients on a remote network using NetBEUI and occassionally access another network that uses TCP/IP. Move NetBEUI up in priority on workstation binding. It doesn't matter on the servers because they don't initiate traffic, just respond.
A printer dies and you want to redirect to another printer. what do you do? Add the UNC to the other printer to ports on the printer that died.
If you have a stripe set know how to edit the ARC path in boot.ini to point to the mirrored boot partition.
You have a mirror set fail. What do you do first? break the mirror.
You have a member fail in a stripe set. Choose the stripe set, an area of free space, and regenerate.
User dialing in through RAS and get cut off. Edit a setting in the registry to enable device.log.
Spooler died on a printer. Go to services to stop and restart spooler service.
Nothing on browser services and election, or licensing manager, mouse drivers, keyboard drivers.
