22. ?You've grouped together all CGI scripts and ISAPI apps into the scripts folder and assign execute rights to the folder. Afterwards, the ISAPI works and the CGI doesn't.(or ISAPI doesn and CGI does)

assign execute rights for the folder as well. needs to have NTFS rights on folder. NTFS should match what is in IIS prop. Also IUSR must have rights or other user. Must see options and original question. (read for CGI, Execute for ISAPI)

Enable SSL only when required- maybe a similar question where upgrade cpu because SSL is cpu intensive

 

35.What's contained in the METABASE (multi answer)

Virtual dir. security

website home dir.

As a litmus test: if having the setting in the metabase would not speed up performance of the server as it deals with people browsing the server, then it is there

 

37.Which options would require multiple certificates?

Server hosting web sites for multiple companies

Server has links to servers in differnt domains

 

38.You are on Server2 and set up a virtual directory to \\Server1\stuff. An error message 'Directory inaccessable, unable to login' comes up after setting up.

User has insuffcient rights

Server is in a different domain- therefor no user!

 

39.?You have an NNTP news server set up on a RAID 5 array. You want to improve performance.

a) Break NNTP up into many virtual folders

b) Break NNTP up into many servers/many arrays

would say a

The only place I could find any information on virtual directories in NNTP was in the MS IIS Training Kit(Chapter 8, page 134). In half a page it states that breaking the NNTP directory into multiple virtual directories will improve performance. However, it also states, "There is no advantage to creating virtual directories on the same physical disk at the home directory". Therefore, if you are going to create more virtual directories they should be created on separate physical disks.

Now RAID 5 (disk striping with parity) uses at least three physical disks, which act as one logical disk. My belief (read not sure about this) is that since everything gets striped across those 3+ disks at once then it probably acts the same as one physical disk for NNTP performance purposes.

The question specifies a single directory and a single array. To me this does not imply anything about other arrays being available or not, just that NNTP is presently on a single array. So I have no problem saying multiple arrays are possible. Here is the sticky part though. Performance should increase by doing answer A if the RAID 5 is not treated as one physical disk since it is presently in only one directory, but performance would increase even more by doing answer B regardless of the outcome of the RAID 5 status.

 

40.?Kathy gets onto a web site which is configured to access an SQL database. She is givin an error [OBDC ERROR] unable to validate user (Login???).

However, a couple of possibilities from my studies are: Enabling certificate use under the Directory Security Tabà Key Information and; Policy Module in the Certification Server mentioned on page 180 of the MS IIS Training Kit

 

75.What are SMTP smart host headers?

37.Which options would require multiple certificates?

Server hosting web sites for multiple companies

Server has links to servers in differnt domains

 

38.You are on Server2 and set up a virtual directory to \\Server1\stuff. An error message 'Directory inaccessable, unable to login' comes up after setting up.

39.?You have an NNTP news server set up on a RAID 5 array. You want to improve performance.

a) Break NNTP up into many virtual folders

b) Break NNTP up into many servers/many arrays

would say a

The only place I could find any information on virtual directories in NNTP was in the MS IIS Training Kit(Chapter 8, page 134). In half a page it states that breaking the NNTP directory into multiple virtual directories will improve performance. However, it also states, "There is no advantage to creating virtual directories on the same physical disk at the home directory". Therefore, if you are going to create more virtual directories they should be created on separate physical disks.

Now RAID 5 (disk striping with parity) uses at least three physical disks, which act as one logical disk. My belief (read not sure about this) is that since everything gets striped across those 3+ disks at once then it probably acts the same as one physical disk for NNTP performance purposes.

The question specifies a single directory and a single array. To me this does not imply anything about other arrays being available or not, just that NNTP is presently on a single array. So I have no problem saying multiple arrays are possible. Here is the sticky part though. Performance should increase by doing answer A if the RAID 5 is not treated as one physical disk since it is presently in only one directory, but performance would increase even more by doing answer B regardless of the outcome of the RAID 5 status.
