The items on this brain dump are pretty thorough, and gave me a good idea of what was covered. The simulation items were NOT difficult if you have used the product. They covered very basic items for the most part. When you're working with the MMC, BE PATIENT. Browse whenever you can. Remember to START web services, as in ALL cases, the service or virtual directory had not been started. Simply close the window to return to the test. Either write down all of the information from the question, or ALT-TAB to go back and forth...but be careful with this, as my test almost locked up!!! Also, if you need to go back to a simulation question later, it will wipe all of the work you have done. Make sure you remember what you've done! I had about 8 simulation questions covering the following items...

Setup virtual directories for WEB and FTP sites with read and/or write access when given the path where the content is located

Grant or Deny access based on a single IP address, or group of addresses (know your subnetting rules...what are valid addresses for the 255.255.255.224 subnet? Know how to name a network when given the range of addresses and the subnet mask)

If you move a web site with Perl script to a new server, the Perl scripts no longer work. What is required on the new server?

You have a web site that managers access. Mary has been promoted to a manager. She cannot access the site. - You need to give her NTFS permissions.

You have a web site for which 50% of your users access from the Internet, the other 50% access from the Intranet. You want to use SSL. What is the BEST way to do this (using NTFS and Certificate server)?

You want to find all web pages over 32K. What is the best way to do this? (Options given = File manager search, Export report to excel and search, ***Site Content Analyzer report***, Inet svc manager listing)

How would you get a report of all files on your web site that are referenced by a hyperlink? (Again, basically the same options given as in previous question)

How many machines are required to setup 3 web sites for 3 different departments. Each department has varying requirements for security to their site. Should the machine be NT Server, NT Workstation, or 95?

Some question about Perf Mon and ISAPI content. What can you do to decrease the active thread count value? (Options given were increase ram, replace ISAPI with CGI scripts, ???, ???) (I'm sure I missed this one ;) )

What kind of items are stored in a saved MMC desktop file? (Remember this is for Admin preferences only...this file does not save server specific options like security and virtual directory stuff)

Know some basic SQL connectivity errors and what would cause them. (Access denied, General network error, and some other one I can't remember)
