I want to start off by thanking all those that have taken the time to post

their notes on this dump. I also want to thank those responsible for this

outstanding site. Without the resources available here we would all be in

world of hurt; thank you all so much.

I passed the enterprise test today with a score of 852. WORD OF CAUTION:

this is a hard test. Do not take this test lightly as it will jump up and

bite you in the rear! What makes this test so hard is that it is 80% LONG

scenario questions that ask you to configure trusts, shares and permissions

to solve the problem presented in the question. I used MOC, NT Resource

kit, Transcenders and this site to prepare for the test.

Here are some suggestions I have for passing this test and notes you need to

know.

1. If you don't have a network such as a home lab to practice on you will

fail. You need to practice the topics presented in Transcender and

braindumps and learn not only how to do them but also why they work the way

they do. It will be very helpful to build a multiple domain network and

experiment with trusts and permissions.

2. Know trusts REALLY well as this is what this test is all about. Know

what resources you have access to when logging into a trusted and trusting

domain from the other. (Logging onto a trusted domain from a trusting

domain is the normal logon process and will give you access to all resources

given to your group(s). However, to logon to a trusting domain from a

trusted domain you need either a local account in the trusting domain or the

guest account enabled or you won't get in. Know also that the guest account

is disabled by default.

3. Know how permissions work ( NTFS permissions combine to allow the least

restrictive and share permissions combine with NTFS permissions to allow the

most restrictive).

4. Know what is on this dump. Research for at least the last 3 months (6

months is better). Everything on test is here in one form or another.

5. The trusting domain has the resources to share, the trusted domain has

the user accounts. When you go in for the test first write these notes down

on your stencil board.

TRUSTING >>>>>>>>> TRUSTED

RESOURCES>>>>>>> USERS

LOCAL GROUPS >>>>>> GLOBAL GROUPS

LOGON FROM >>>>>>>> LOGON TO

6. Know what types of accounts are local and what are global.

LOCAL ACCOUNTS GLOBAL ACCOUNTS

all Operators all Domain

accounts:

Administrators Domain Users,

etc..

Replicator

Guests

7. Know how to configure WINS in a routed environment for minimizing

traffic (increase cache time and set up push - pull partners). Also know

that increasing the pulse from the PDC and decreasing the pulse concurrency

from the PDC will minimize traffic.

8. Know fault tolerance, if you've already taken the Server test you know

what you need to.

Now for what I remember from the test:

I had the infamous RAS question about field personnel accessing the RAS

server. There is a lot of confusion about this but here is the scoop. Know

that when using W95, W for Workgroups 3.11, and NT to get into an NT RAS

server your password is encrypted by default, BUT DATA IS NOT ENCRYPTED BY

DEFAULT. IF YOU WANT DATA ENCRYPTED YOU MUST CHECK THE BOX TO ALLOW FOR

DATA ENCRYPTION. Don't take my word for it. Look in the MOC course book

for Core Technologies on pages 356 - 372 (specifically page 359).

I also had the question about what radio button to select in Server

Properties from the Network icon in Control Panel when you have a server

that its primary role is authentication but it also has WINS on it. There

seems to be a lot of confusion on this one also. The answer is DEFINITELY

"Maximize throughput for Network Applications". Don't take my word for it,

research for yourself. You won't find the answer in the Resource Kit but

you will find it in the MOC Course book for this test. See pages 248 - 255

and 319.

The rest of the questions on this test are on this dump and Transcender.

Good luck and study hard!
