Brain Dump for IIS 4.0 (70-087)

I just passed with a score of 890, thanks to this site primarily. Thanks LearnQuick.Com and everyone who has contributed! About 95% of the questions I saw previously here on this site. I did however have to do my own research on conflicting answers that I did see on this site. I must thank my instructor, G.V. for helping me also. Since I didn't see any new questions on the test, I'm only going to post the questions that I found to have conflicts between various brain dumps here and the correct answers to them.

You can and should double-check them yourself of course if you have the time, but you'll find that these are most likely correct.

1. The requirements for SMTP: (Choose 3)

A. NTFS

B. FAT

C. TCP/IP

D. NetBios

E. Host to Ip resolution (which is just another way of saying DNS)

Ans: A, C, E

2. You import 2 log files per day. You have > 900 users accessing your site. You want to reduce import time and resolution time. What should you do?

A. Increase cache period of IP lookups for importing log file

B. Decrease cache period of IP lookups for importing log files

C. Increase IP address timeout resolution time

D. Decrease IP address timeout resolution time

Ans: A

What permissions must you give to a virtual directory containing IMAGES.GIF/JPEG?????  

Execute permissions

Read permissions

Do not change permissions

Something, something, something

Ans: C Graphics files don't need to be executed- just read in the image.  The default is Read & Script permissions so literally, you don't need to  change permissions. I didn't get this question on the test but I listed the answer anyway.

4. You have a high number of not found errors on your web site. Why? (choose two)

A. Wrong virtual directory configuration

B. Wrong permission for anonymous account

C. Excessive traffic on network segment

D. Error on HTML codes on pages

Ans: A, D If the wrong directory was configured incorrectly, you wouldn't find it at all. And errors on the Html code on pages (e.g. errors in the links) would also produce these errors.

5. You want to configure a web site that integrates data and text files that are on a web site with data distribution on a Microsoft SQL server database. You want to index all of the data in the text files by using microsoft index server. You want to create a query the results of the text pages and publish the result on a single web page.  What should you do?

A Write a perl script that queries the index server to the SQL server database.

B. Write an ISAPI application that indexes the text files, queries the resulting Index, and then uses the SQL server to create a SQL Server database.

C. Write an ASP script that queries the Index Server

D. Write a DirectX script that queries the Index Server

Ans: C. Index server does the indexing and doesn't need an application therefore B. is incorrect.

There is also a question about Performance Monitor and ISAPI which asks what can be done to decrease the active thread count value.

A. Increase RAM

B. Replace ISAPI with CGI Scripts

C. ?

D. ?

Ans: B. Using CGI will do it. Every CGI application takes a thread from the thread pool. There is also a registry parameter that can be used to cut the size of the thread pool.
