Just passed IIS 4.0 today with 872 and become a MCSE. Not very easy. But also not hard to pass if you spend some days to play around with it and read through the brain dumps here. I have more than 20 questions which I haven't seen in this site before (or may be I missed them).

Really want to say thank you to all who have contributions to this site. I am sure I can't make it without this site. Thanks!

However, I can't remember all the 'fresh' questions. I have 9 simulation questions just like most of the guys here. Most of them ask me to create a new web site or ftp site to point to some directories. One famous question about deny access except IP from x.x.x.96 to x.x.x.127. One about define custom error. One about generate log files for FTP/Web site and truncate the file if the files reach 4MB.

Some 'fresh' questions which I haven't seen before:

1. You use a web browser to connect to a site and the error shows "http1.1 403, your browser don't support the required encryption"..

a. the site is SSL enabled

b. the site is NT Challenge/Password enabled

c. other ...

It should not be difficult if you have a try on it. But I really can't remember.

2. Your web site has a virtual directory which use UNC path to connect to a Netware server. You use IUSER_ComputerName to connect to it. Assign read permission to the virtual directory in MMC. But access being denied when try to connect. What to do?

a. UNC path should not be used

b. Create the same account in Netware as IUSER_ComputerName

c. Grant NTFS read permission to the sth...

Really have no idea. I choose b

3. You have make all client computers to use DNS. Before they are using HOSTS file. After that, you change the IP address of the IIS server. Some clients then report that they cannot connect to the web server.

a. add an entry of the IIS server to the DNS

b. add an entry of the IIS server to the HOSTS file of the client

c. remove the HOSTS file of all the client <-- it should be the answer

4. You suspect the a CGI script has a dead thread. What to do?

a. Use performance monitor to view IISGlobal sth...

b. Use performance monitor to view Threads ... status..

c. Restart the WWW services

No idea. But I think it is too serious to restart the service, I choose b.

5. Your web site was accessed by some Internet and some Intranet user. Internet users using web browser which don't support NT Challange/Password method. How to establish a secure access to both kind of users.

a. Use basic authentication for both kind of users

b. Use NT Challenge for Intranet user. Use SSL and give certificate to Internet users.

c. Use SSL for both kind of users.

Not sure what 'secure access' means. I choose b.

6. You want the browser to treat .htmlh file as html file. What to do?

a. Add MIME type for .htmlh

b. Change the application extension mappings.

I will choose b if it is about .stm. But I choose a here.

7. Use query to query the SQL database and index the content in text file format. Shows the text in html files..

a/b. Use SQL query to do sth...

c. Use asp to write queries and use SQL queries to get info from SQL server

I am quite weak on Index server. Don't quite understand the question. But I choose c.

8. You want to build standard web site for several departments in your company. What is the most efficient way?

a. Use default web site to build the standard web sites.

b. Use scripting tools to develop scripts to genereate standard web sites.

I choose b here.

9. You have put some images in the web site's home directory c:\home and some put in the c:\home\images directory. Some users report that some images can be loaded. It includes the "http://sitetest/images/image1.gif". The exhibit of MMC shows the below stuffs:

Sitetest

|___ "images" (virtual directory linked to c:\inetput\wwwroot)

|___ "xxxx" (another virtual directory)

What to do?

a. Assign read permissions to the wwwroot directory.

b. Remove the "images" virtual directory.

I choose b here.

That's all I can remember. I think there should be another 1 or 2 fresh questions about NNTP which I am not sure. Other fresh questions are quite obvious. Good luck!
