Subject: NT Server 4.0 in the Enterprise Here is my impression of 70-68. Maybe it contains something you can use: Just passed 70-68 this morning. 884. Braindumps made the difference. I can't really offer much advice that hasn't already be mentioned, so I'll reiterate some of the stuff that I encountered, while some of remains in my memory: -TRUSTS! Make sure they're second nature to you. The soloution to most of these questions was simple: users in a trusting domain CANNOT access the resources of the trusted domain. If you're unclear about this, you're doomed. -I got a couple questions on the Server Optimization applet. You know the one: Minimize memory used, Balance, Maximize Throughput for File Sharing, and Maximize Throughput for Network Applications. As stated previously, the questions were not simply a matter of determining if there were more than or less than 64 users. Remember, the Maximize Throughput for Network Applications option is only really suitable for a client-server application server machine or a computer that will only serve as a domain controller. If it's acting as a database server, you should use the Maximize Throughput for File Sharing. -I got the question about how to prioritize conflicting group policies in the System Policy Editor. -1 question regarding a domain user who was part of a global group, which had been placed within the local group of another trusting domain. This local group has NTFS permissions of Read (R,X), (R,X), but the share permissions gave the local group change. So what's the effective permissions? When NTFS and share permissions conflict, the most restrictive applies. -my netware question involved users and files which had been migrated from a Netware server to an NT server. The question was, what had to be installed in order that the clients could access these files on the NTServer. The options included an MS redirector, CSNW, GTSNW, and IPX/SPX I think. I wasn't sure if they wanted to know how the old netware clients would access the stuff, or MS clients, but I figured, since the files and stuff were actually migrated (and not just "gatewayed") that they were MS files, and all you would need to access them was a redirector, but don't take my word for it. -One question I haven't seen mentioned yet involved Resuming printing. In the scenario, the printer has jammed. After unjamming, you have to identify how to complete the printing job. As I recall, the options included selecting Resume from the Document pulldown, selecting Resume from the Print pulldown, some other option from the Document pulldown, and something really drastic like restarting the spooler or something. I think I chose Resume from the Document pulldown, but I'm not at all sure about it, so check it out. Anyways, I either don't remember the other questions or they've been covered in detail elsewhere. My curriculum for this test was the CBT Systems Supporting Microsoft Windows NT4.0 in association with Scholars.com. While the advisors at Scholars were a great reasource, I thought the CBT CD was a mess. If you want to pay a lot of money to be a beta tester, than this CD is for you. There are oodles of mistakes that beta testing and decent MCSE would have caught, and it was very frustrating. But it did force me to cross check the information, and do a lot of research and for that I would recommend Mark Minasi's Mastering Windows NT Server 4.0. It is very interesting reading, and often amusing, which is a welcome change after a lot of dreary studying. Oh, I almost forgot; you have to burn through this exam. As mentioned before, leave those scenario questions to the end, and don't bother rereading your answers. Time is really at a premium on this one. May the Force be with you.
