Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional

41. You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 network.Your network includes 75 Windows NT Workstation 4.0 computers.You are adding 50 new PXE-compliant computers to the network.The hardware on each computer is configured identically.

    You are using a RIS image to deploy Windows 2000 Professional to the 50 computers.You successfully install Windows 2000 Professional on the first 10 computers.However, you cannot install Windows 2000 Professional on remaining 40 computers.

    What should you do?

    1. Configure the DHCP scope to add additional IP addresses.
    2. Run Rbfg.exe from the RemoteInstall\Admin folder on the RIS server.
    3. Modify the startup sequence in the CMOS of the remaining computers.
    4. Create computer accounts on the remaining computers in the Active Directory.

    Answer: A

    Explanation: In this scenario, the DHCP server has run out of IP-addresses.By extending the scope by 40 IP addresses the installation on the remaining computers will be successful. Note: RIS requires Active Directory, DNS and DHCP.The clients can either be PXE-compliant or they can use a Remote boot diskette.

42. You need to install Windows 2000 Professional on 35 new computers on the company LAN. First, you create a distribution folder on the network server.Then you create a network boot disk to install Windows 2000 Professional from the distribution folder.

    Now you need to create a batch file, which the network boot disk will execute to start the installation.You must specify a source path and temporary drive for the installation files.

    You also need to install the accessibility options within the batch file.The batch file must execute a hardware-specific application to run after the GUI-mode Setup has completed. Which command must you specify in the batch file?

    1. Z:\i386\winnt /s:z:\i386 /t:d: /a /e:z:\hardware\setup.exe
    2. Z:\i386\winnt /s:z:\i386 /rwinnt.tmp /a /e:z:\hardware\setup.exe
    3. Z:\i386\winnt32 /s:z:\i386 /tempdrive:d /cmd:z\hardware\setup.exe
    4. Z:\i386\winnt32 /s:z:\i386 /cmdcons:z:\hardware\setup /makelocalsource

    Answer: A

    Explanation: Winnt must be used to start the installation process from a boot diskette.The /t:d switch specifies that the D drive should be used to contain temporary setup files; the /a switch specifies an installation with accessibility options; and the /e[:command] switch specifies a command to be executed at the end of Setup's GUI mode.

43. You are creating a shared Internet connection on your Windows 2000 Professional computer.You want to enable other computers on the LAN to be able to access only HTTP and FTP sites on the Internet.

    What should you do?(Choose all that apply)

    1. Configure your shared Internet connection to disable LCP extensions.
    2. Configure your shared Internet connection to disable on-demand dialing.
    3. Create an Internet Connection Sharing application type for HTTP to use remote server for port 25.
    4. Create an Internet Connection Sharing application type for HTTP to use remote server port 80.
    5. Create the Internet Connection Sharing application type for FTP to use remote server port 21.
    6. Create an Internet Connection Sharing application type for FTP to use remote server port 72.

    Answer: D, E

    Explanation: HTTP traffic uses TCP port 80 and FTP traffic uses TCP port 21 for session control and port 20 for data transfer.Therefore, by enabling TCP port 80 and TCP port 21 only HTTP and FTP traffic will be allowed.All other network traffic will not be allowed.

44. You want to connect your Windows 2000 Professional computer to multiple TCP/IP subnets on your company's network.Your computer currently has an ISA network adapter installed.You install a second ISA network adapter.

    After you restart your computer, you notice that the second ISA network adapter is not functioning.

    What should you do?

    1. Set the driver signing option to block.
    2. Set the driver signing option to ignore.
    3. In the computer's BIOS, reserve an unused IRQ for ISA devices.
    4. In the Device Manager, configure the second ISA network adapter to use an unused IRQ.

    Answer: D

    Explanation: The Device Manager is used to configure the system resources used by a hardware device.The system resources of legacy ISA devices must be set manually.This can be done in Device Manager.By right clicking the device in Device Manager, choosing Properties, and then selecting the Resources tab, you can change the system resources, such as the IRQ settings, used by the device.

45. You are upgrading computer1 and computer2 from Windows NT Workstation 4.0 to Windows 2000 Professional.You successfully upgrade computer1.During the upgrade of computer2, a series of power outages interrupts the upgrade.

    You discover that the upgrade of computer2 is incomplete.Furthermore, you find that computer2 can no longer run Windows NT workstation 4.0.Computer2 does not support booting from the Windows 2000 Professional CD-ROM.You decide to use computer1 to help recover the failed upgrade.

    What should you do?

    1. On computer1, copy the CD-ROM driver and system files named ntdetect, ntbootdd.sys, Ntdll.dll and Setupldr.bin to a formatted floppy disk.On computer2, restart the computer by using the floppy disk. Then run WinNT32/debug from the Windows 2000 Professional CD-ROM.
    2. From computer1, copy the CD-ROM driver and system files named Ntdetect, Ntbootdd.sys, Ntdll.dll, and Setupldr.bin to a formatted floppy disk.On the computer2, restart the upgrade by using the floppy disk.Then run WinNT32/rx from the Windows 2000 Professional CD-ROM.
    3. On the computer1, run Makebt32.exe from the Bootdisk folder on the Windows 2000 Professional CD- ROM.On computer2, restart the upgrade by using the newly created floppy disks.
    4. On computer1, perform a remote installation from a network share.On computer2, when the text portion of setup has completed, resume the installation by using the Setup Manager.

    Answer: C

    Explanation: You can create the four setup boot disks by using either makeboot.exe or makebt32.exe.Both are located in the \Bootdisk directory on the Windows 2000 installation CD.These disks can be used to restart the installation process on computer2.

46. You use Windows Backup to backup the files on your Windows 2000 Professional computer.Your 
    computer is configured to perform a daily backup of your files on drive D.
    On Thursday morning, drive D on your computer fails.You replace the failed hard disk with a new hard 
    disk.You want to restore files on drive D to the new hard disk.You view your back up log as shown in

    In which order should you restore your data?
    1. Friday, Wednesday: Files will be current as of the Wednesday night.
    2. Friday, Thursday: Files will be current as of the Thursday morning.
    3. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday: Files cannot be restored after this time.
    4. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday: Files will be current as of the Wednesday night.

    Answer: D

    Explanation: You cannot start the restore process with an incremental restore.Instead you must start with the normal backup from Friday.Incremental backups only backup files that are not marked as archived.Once they are backed up, the backed up files are marked as archived.Incremental backups thus only backup files that have changed since the last backup.Therefore, when restoring files from an incremental backup, all the incremental backups must be used in sequence from the oldest backup to the most recent one.The incomplete incremental backup from Tuesday must be included since 1 file was backup up.

47. Your Windows 2000 Professional computer has 64 MB of RAM and two hard disk drives, drive C and drive D.Each hard disk has more than 500 MB of free disk space.Windows 2000 Professional is installed on drive D.

    You frequently run two or more memory-intensive graphics applications simultaneously.You notice that access to drive C is much slower when you are using the graphic applications.

    You want to maximize disk performance.

    What should you do?

    1. Configure the paging file on drive C to set the initial size of the virtual memory and a maximum size of the virtual memory to the 64 MB.
    2. Configure the paging file on drive C to set the initial size of the virtual memory and a maximum size of the virtual memory to the 128 MB.
    3. Move the paging file from drive C to drive D. Set the initial size of virtual memory and the maximum size of virtual memory to 256 MB.
    4. Move the paging file from drive C to drive D. Set the initial size of virtual memory to 56 MB and maximum size of virtual memory to 256 MB.

    Answer: C

    Explanation: If possible, the paging file should be placed on a different physical disk than the operating system.In this scenario the paging file should be placed on the D drive.The default size of a paging file is 1.5 times available RAM; in this scenario it should be 96MB.Sometimes it is beneficial to increase the default paging file size, for example when using resource intensive applications.

48. You upgrade five computers in the Finance organizational unit (OU) from Windows NT Workstation 4.0 to Windows 2000 Professional.The computers are used by members of the Finance OU to run financial Applications.All five computers are configured to have the default security settings.

    A user named Helene reports that she can no longer log run the financial applications on her Windows 2000 Professional computer.Prior to the upgrade, Helene was able to run the financial applications on her computer.Helene is a member of the local Users group.

    You want the financial applications to run on her computer.

    What should you do?

    1. Use Computer Management to configure separate memory space for each financial application on Helene's computer.
    2. Use Security Templates to edit the Security Policy to include the financial application on Helene's computer. Then add Helene's user account to the Power Users group on Helene's computer.
    3. Use Security Configuration and Analysis to reconfigure the default security policy .inf to allow financial applications to run on Helene's computer.
    4. Use Secedit.exe to apply the Compatws.inf security template on Helene's Security Policy to loosen the permissions for the local Users group on Helene's computer.

    Answer: D

    Explanation: The Compatws.inf template relaxes security settings for the Users group and is therefore well suited for workstations that need compatibility with older applications.In fact, the main purpose of the compatws.inf template is to enable non-certified legacy programs to run.

49. You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 Professional computer.A user named Maria assists you in performing some administrative tasks.Maria is a member of local Administrators group.

    Users report that Maria has been viewing and changing their files.You want Maria to be able to install programs, perform backups and manage printers, but not to view, change or read other users' files for which permission has not been granted.

    You want to set up Maria's account to have minimal rights and permission.You want to accomplish this with least amount of administrative effort.

    What should you do?

    1. Leave Maria in the local Administrators group. Limit her rights by using Local Policies.
    2. Leave Maria in the local Administrators group. Change the NTFS provision on other users' files to deny Maria's request.
    3. Remove Maria from the local Administrators group. Add her to both the Power Users group and Backup Operators group.
    4. Remove Maria from local Administrators group. Add her to Power User group. Then grant her NTFS Read permission on the files to be backed up.

    Answer: C

    Explanation: By adding Maria's user account to the Power Users group Maria will inherit the ability to share resources and install programs that is conferred on members of the Power Users group.To grant Maria the ability to backup files she must be added to the Backup Operators group, which has the permissions to backup files.As a member of this group Maria will be able to backup files as she will inherit those rights by virtue of being a member of that group.Maria will not have permissions to read the users' files as she has been removed from the local administrators group and as neither the Power Users group nor the Backup Operators group has the permissions to read other users' files.

50. You are the administrator of your company's network.Your network consists of 20 Windows 2000 Professional computers.You want to configure all of the computers to allow access to the Internet.

    Your budget does not allow for installing a permanent Internet connection for the network.You do have a single dial-up account at a local Internet Service Provider (ISP) and a 56-Kbps modem.You want the computer to be able to access the Internet when Web resources are requested.

    What should you do?

    (Choose all that apply)
    1. Configure the shared modem to use software handshaking
    2. Configure the dial-up connection to enable on-demand dialing.
    3. Configure the dial-up connection to enable the Internet Connection Sharing.
    4. Configure all the other computers to have a dial-up connection that uses the shared modem.
    5. Attach the modem to one of the Windows 2000 Professional computers, and create a dial-up connection to the ISP.
    6. Attach the modem to one of the Windows 2000 Professional computers, and share the modem on the network.

    Answer: B, C, E

    Explanation: To enable the computer to access the Internet when Web resources are requested, you must first attach the modem to the computer and create a dial-up connection to the ISP.You must then configure the dial- up connection to enable Internet Connection Sharing.This can be accomplished by opening Network And Dial- Up Connections, then right-click the dial-up connection, select Properties, select the Sharing tab, and finally enable the Internet Connection Sharing For This Connection check box.To enable this connection to dial automatically when another computer on the home network attempts to access external resources, the Enable On-Demand Dialing check box must be selected.
