Be able to create a web site and a FTP site using Microsoft Management Console.

Create two FTP sites. One called Docs and the other called Forms. The Docs site should be homed on C:\docs and allow uploads and downloads. The Forms site should be homed on C:\Forms and only allow downloads.

On the Default Web Site, deny access to a specific IP address (172.30.124.189).

The anonymous ID for this particular site is IUSR_NT5, set things up so that the password will be synchronized with the IUSR_NT5 account in NT.

By using the MMC they want you to decrease the number of inactive connections without decreasing the number of users (ie connection) or without decreasing the timeout value?

Track Anonymous logins on the Default FTP site, and do NOT track anonymous logins on the Default Web Site. (This one stumped me).

Configure the Default Web Site so that the range of addresses 192.168.0.96 - 192.168.0.127 are the only ones allowed to access.

In the simulation, be able to assign a virtual FTP directory to another machine. They gave it as \\win95\public\information\. The main web site was already set up for you. This should be done in the Microsoft Management Console.

In the simulation, be able to assign a different port to a FTP site you create. They give you the name of the site and the directory to attach it to. This should be done in Microsoft Management Console.

 Be able to look at the settings for security of a site in the Microsoft Management Console and answer this question: How will the password and user name be transferred between the client and the server

Enable logging on the deafult web and FTP sites, and configure it to start new logs when the file size reaches 4MB

One simulation question that I thought was very sneaky - but apparently I got it right? I believe it was a virtual directory, and the objective was to change the permissions to disable "anonymous" access. However, the setup for the question stated that the physical directory for this particular virtual directory was something like C:\docs\marketing. However, when I got to the properties sheet for the virtual directory in ISM, I found that not only did the permissions need to be changed (the stated objective), but that the "home directory" value was incorrect - it read something like C:\marketing.

So, I added the required portion of the path as well as setting the required permissions. Not sure if that was necessary - but I'm pretty sure I didn't get that one wrong, so it didn't hurt <grin>.  

A troubleshooting question in which a virtual directory was setup to store webpage images. Users could see images stored in the home directory, but not in the virtual directory. One of the images not viewable was of the gif type.

Simulation: You have a default web site, one IP address defined. Create a Web Site "Hiabuv Toys" Home: C:\Infobusdata\Hiabuv URL: http://www.hiabuvtoys.com .
