Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional

61. You recently upgraded all Windows NT Workstation 4.0 computers to Windows 2000 Professional.You want to give a new employee named Maria the ability to back up files, share resources, and install programs on a client computer that she shares with other users.You do not want Maria to be able to read other users' files.

    What should you do to accomplish these goals?

    (Choose all that apply)
    1. Add Maria's user account to the System group.
    2. Add Maria's user account to the Interactive group.
    3. Add Maria's user account to the Power Users group.
    4. Add Maria's user account to the Administrators group.
    5. Add Maria's user account to the Backup Operators group.

    Answer: C, E

    Explanation: By adding Marias user account to the Power Users group Maria will inherit the ability to share resources and install programs on the computer.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 neither the Power Users group nor the Backup Operators group have the permissions to read other users' files.

62. A user in your company network needs to encrypt a folder that is on her Windows 2000 Professional computer.Her computer has two drives: Drive C and Drive D.The folder that needs to be encrypted is located on Drive D.When the user attempts to encrypt the folder, no option for encryption can be found in the folder properties.

    What should you do to enable the user to encrypt the folder?

    1. Log on to her computer as an Administrator, and then run the cipher /e command.
    2. Instruct the user to run the cipher /e command.
    3. Log on to her computer as an Administrator, and then run the Secedit /enforce command.
    4. Instruct the user to run the Secedit /enforce command.
    5. Log on to her computer as an Administrator, and then run the Convert d:/FS:NTFS command.

    Answer: E

    Explanation: Any ordinary user should be able to encrypt files as long as they have the appropriate permission to the files and the folder, and as long as the file system supports file encryption.The only file system that supports file encryption is the NTFS file system.If this file system is not in use, the option to encrypt files will not be shown.As no option for file encryption can be found, you can assume that the disk uses the FAT or FAT32 file system.This would need to be converted to NTFS to support file encryption.You would need to log on as an administrator and run Convert d:/FS:NTFS at the command prompt, which can be done by clicking on the start button, clicking on Run and then typing cmd in the dialog box.This allows us to convert the drive to the NTFS file system without affecting the data on the drive.However, you cannot convert a drive back to FAT or FAT32.

63. Your company has just upgraded its CATEGORY 5 Ethernet network from 10Mbps to 100Mbps.After the upgrade, the 20 Windows 2000 Professional computers in the marketing department can no longer connect to the network.The remaining 80 Windows 2000 computers in the company can connect, however.Your company uses NWLink as the only network protocol.

    You need to connect the computers in the marketing department to the network.

    What must you do?

    1. Configure the NWLink frame type of the network adapters to be Ethernet 802.3.
    2. Configure the NWLink frame type of the network adapters to be Ethernet II.
    3. Replace the network adapters with 10/100 BNC adapters.
    4. Replace the network adapters with 10/100 UTP network adapters.

    Answer: D

    Explanation: The hubs, switches and other network devices have been upgraded to 100Mbps.It thus seems likely that the 20 computers with network connection problems in this scenario are using 10Mbps network adapters.These need to be upgraded to 100Mbit or to 10/100Mbit network adapters. Since the network is a category 5 Ethernet network the network adapters must also support UTP.

64. You are preparing to install Windows 2000 Professional on 100 MPS-compliant computers.Each computer has two 550 MHz processors.The computers are configured identically.

    You want to use one of the computers as a reference computer for deploying Windows 2000 Professional to the remaining computers.You install Windows 2000 Professional on the reference computer.You view the Device Manager and notice that the drivers for the second processor are not installed.

    You want to add support for the second processor on the remaining 99 computers.You want to do this with least amount of administrative effort.

    What should you do?

    1. Use Setup Manager to configure the reference computer, and then create a disk image.
    2. Use the System Preparation Tool with the -pnp parameter to set up the reference disk, and then create the disk image.
    3. Use Device Manager to add the appropriate hardware abstraction layer (HAL) to the reference computer to support the second processor, and then create a disk image.
    4. After imaging the reference computer, restart the reference computer in Safe Mode and add the driver for the second processor.

    Answer: C

    Explanation: When upgrading from a single processor system to a multiprocessor system the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) must be upgraded.To do this, open Computer Management in Administrative Tools, open Device Manager, Expand Computer, Right-click Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC (or similar), select Properties, select the Driver tab, and select Update Driver.This will start the Upgrade Device Driver Wizard that can be used to update the HAL.

    Explanation: The location of the spool folder can be specified on the Advanced tab of the Print Server Properties dialog box.To change the spool folder location, open the Printers folder, open File menu, select Server Properties, select the Advanced tab, enter the path and the name of the new default spool folder for this print server, and then click Close.

68. You are the administrator of your company's network.Your network has 200 Windows 2000 Professional computers and 15 Windows 2000 Server computers.Users on the network save their work files in home folders on a network server.The NTFS partition that contains the home folders has Encrypting File System (EFS) enabled.

    A user named John leaves the company.You move all of the files from John's home folder to his manager's folder.When the manager attempts to open any of the files, she receives the following error message: "Access denied."

    You want the manager to be able to access the files.

    What should you do?

    1. Grant the manager NTFS Full Control permission to the files.
    2. Grant the manager NTFS Take Ownership permission to the files.
    3. Log on to the network as a Recovery Agent.Decrypt the files for the manager.
    4. Log on to the network as a member of the Backup Operators Group.Decrypt the files for the manager.

    Answer: C

    Explanation: An encrypted file on an EFS partition can only be decrypted by the owner of file or by the Recovery Agent.

69. Your Windows 2000 Professional computer contains a single hard disk configured as a single partition. You want to move a folder named Sales under a folder named Corp on your computer.

    You want the files in the Sales folder to remain compressed after moving the folder.You want the files in the Corp folder to remain uncompressed.You want to ensure that the files are recoverable in case of any disk problems.You also want to move the files with the least amount of administrative effort.

    What should you do?

    1. Copy the Sales folder to the Corp folder.Do nothing further.
    2. Backup the Sales folder.Move the Sales folder to the Corp folder.
    3. Compress the Corp folder.Then copy the Sales folder to the Corp folder.
    4. Move the Sales folder to a second computer.Then move the Sales folder to the Corp folder.

    Answer: B

    Explanation: The contents of the Sales folder should be backed up so that files would be recoverable in case of disk problems.You could move the Sales folder to the CORP folder, as the files will remain compressed since the folder is moved within a single partition.The general rules on copying and moving compressed files and folder are: files and folders copied within a NTFS volume and between NTFS volumes inherit the compression state of the target folder; files and folders moved between NTFS volumes inherit the compression state of the target folder; and files and folders moved within an NTFS volume retain the original compression state of the file or folder.

70. You are creating a dial-up connection on your Windows 2000 portable computer to connect to your customer's dial-up server.You are not sure which type of server your customer is using for dial-up connections.You want to ensure that your dial-up connection authentication is secure and that your logon information is not sent in plain text.You view the Advanced Security Settings dialog box as shown in the exhibit.

    Which option or options should you disable in the Advanced Security Settings dialog box?

    (Choose all that apply)
    1. Unencrypted password (PAP)
    2. Shiva Password Authentication Protocol (SPAP)
    3. Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)
    4. Microsoft CHAP (MS-CHAP)
    5. Microsoft CHAP Version 2 (MS-CHAP v2)
    6. For Microsoft CHAP based protocols.

    Answer: A

    Explanation: PAP is the least complicated authentication protocol and sends passwords in plain text. Passwords are thus not encrypted passwords.This authentication protocol is used when a more secure means of authentication cannot be negotiated between two computers.You should therefore disable PAP to ensure that login information is not sent in plain text.
