Subject:          Brain Dump 

OK, passed 70-68, 70-73, & 70-67 this morning with 842, 941,& 963, so here
are some brain dumps of questions that were on the exams that surprised me:

70-68: NT Enterprise
--------------------
(1) Your company has two domains, CORP and EAST.  CORP trusts EAST.  Your
user account exists in the CORP domain, and you log on to the CORP domain
from a machine that is a member of the EAST domain.  To what resources do
you have access?
a)Resources in CORP for which CORP\Domain Users have been granted access
b)Resources in EAST for which EAST\Domain Users have been granted access
c)Resources in EAST for which EAST\Domain Guests have been granted access
d)Resources in EAST for which CORP\DOmain guests have been granted access

(I am not sure if I remembered choices a and d correctly, but the rest is
certainly correct -- CORP trusts EAST, not the other way around, go figure)

(2)You are having trouble with application crashes.  Windows NT support
wants you to make a dump of the system memory.  What tool would you use to
do this?

(I don't remember the choices, but Dr. Watson was one, and I guessed that.
The question did not specify that it wanted a dump to happen automatically
after the crash; it sounded like they wanted a dump *now*, manually created.)

(3)Your PDC handles logons for 5,000 clients and also behaves as a WINS
server.  Which option should you use to optimize the server for these tasks?
a)Minimize Memory used
b)Balance
c)Maximize throughput for file sharing
d)Maximize throughput for Network Applications

(This one actually had a little crosshairs that you used to pick the proper
radio button on a graphic of the dialog box, rather than a normal
multiple-choice answer; there were a few others like that in the enterprise
exam.  Anyway, I guessed choice C -- I could not figure out what they were
getting at, since the 10-client and 64-client cutoffs are described well
enough in technet and transcender, but I was not sure what to do about a
5,000-client/WINS situation)

(4)finally, there was a question regarding a "stripe set" that did not
specifically say "stripe set without parity," but it definitely was about a
"stripe set without parity", since it did not say "stripe set *with*
parity".  I nearly got caught on that.

70-67: NT Server 4.0
--------------------
(1) You have a computer that is currently installed with NT 3.51 Server.
How can you upgrade this to NT 4.0 Server? (choose the two correct answers)
the correct answers were b & d
b)boot from DOS, run WINNT.EXE from the source directory on CDROM and
choose to install to the \WINNT35 directory
d)boot the NT 3.51 server and run WINNT32.EXE from the CDROM; install to
the \WINNT35 directory.
(This one was surprising only because transcender never talked about option
b, giving the impression that d was the only way to go)

(2)The PDC of domain DOMAIN1 is configured for directory replication as
shown in the exhibit <<exhibit shows exports configured to export
repl\exports, with DOMAIN1 listed in the "to" box>> Who will receive
exported files from the PDC?
a)All Domain controllers in DOMAIN1 configured for import
b)All Domain controllers and all member servers of DOMAIN1 configured for
import
c)All Domain controllers, member servers, and workstations of DOMAIN1
configured for import
(That is roughly what the options were -- I had not even known that you can
export to a name of a domain anyway, so it was a surprise.  I guessed "c")

70-73: NT Workstation
---------------------
No surprises, Transcender covered most everything.  The stuff I missed was
stuff I was too lazy to review from Transcender.


peace,
