Failed 70-68 Friday with 744 !

I was shocked as I studied pretty hard using the M.O.C. as well as the

Transcenders, the Resource Kit, the Exam Cram (NT 4 in the Enterprise), Mark

Minasi's book "Mastering NT Server 4" as well as the fact that I'm taking an

MCSE course at a local college!!! I was lulled into a false sense of

security by breezing through Net Essentials, Win95, NT Server and TCP/IP.

Here's what I remember about the test with some answers that I found in

my sources.

A user at an NT Workstation needs to access resources in the Sales Domain.

The NT Workstation is not part of any Domain. How would you do that ? Give 2 answers.

Answer: Someone with an account (or guest account enabled)

can log into the domain without using a machine account. They will be

prompted for account and password when they try to access resources.

A question on server service optimization: 5,000 users on a domain. PDC

mainly to be used to fulfill logon requests. What configuration should you use for the service optimization:

Answer: By setting the option "Maximize Throughput for Network

Applications" the domain controllers can triple their number of simultaneous

logons (2000 being the default for one domain controller) up to 6000.

Field Engineers use NT workstation to dial into RAS Server.

Required: Field Engineers must be able to access network using RAS. All data must be encrypted

Optional: Password needs to be encrypted, Number that Engineer calls from must be authenticated

Answer:

Password encryption is enabled by default when NT talks to NT but RAS must be configured to encrypt all data. See the "Require Data Encryption" check box below "Require Microsoft Encrypted Authentication" in the Network Configuration screen of RAS. Which will " Encrypt the Entire Dial-Up Session"

To migrate users from Netware to NT. Netware users maybe duplicated on NT.

You want only one user account per user in the Domain and you don't want

existing NT user accounts to be overwritten. What would you do ?

Answer: Use a mapping file to control how user and group names

are transferred and to set passwords for transferred accounts

Tools needed for performance and baseline analysis (choose all)

Performance Monitor is a tool for monitoring the performance of NT Servers and Workstations, Network Monitor captures and views network traffic moving to and from the computer it is installed on.

You are using network monitor from the Windows NT 4.0 standard installation.

You have just captured 400 frames from your NT server. How can you display data originating from one specific computer to your server.

Answer: Clicking the "Filter" item on the "Display" menu brings up the "Display Filter" dialog box where you can pick the filter method.

After picking ANY<-->ANY, you will be in the "Expression" dialog box where you can pick the "From" computer name from the address database. The display will then show all packets from the chosen computer that have been previously captured.

 You've given permission to other administrators to administer the Directory

Service on you domain. How can you keep track of the changes being made?

Answer: In "Planning a Domain Audit Policy" (M.O.C.) there is a

list of things to monitor as related to the administrator: Use of User

Rights, User and Group Management and Security Policy Changes. If you audit User and Group Management or Security Policy Changes then you will miss resource auditing. So Use of User Rights is the only choice that will cover all actions of the administrator. (I think I would have said Security Policy Changes but that wasn't an available choice)
