Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional

1. You are the administrator of your company's network.The network is configured as shown in the exhibit.

   You want to install Windows 2000 Professional on 10 non-PXE-compliant computers on the marketing segment of your network.The 10 computers do not have operating systems installed. You attempt to load the computers by using an existing RIS image that is on the RIS server.You find that the 10 computers cannot connect to the RIS server. You verify that existing client computers on the network can connect to network servers, including the RIS server.You then check the network servers and find that the Windows NT Server 4.0 computer running WINS has stopped responding due to hard disk failure.You want to enable the computers to connect to the RIS server.

   What should you do?(Choose two)

   1. Repair and restart the WINS server.
   2. Repair the WINS server and upgrade the server to Windows 2000 Server.
   3. Configure the Active Directory server to run DHCP.
   4. Configure a static entry in WINS that points to the RIS server.
   5. Create and use a RIS boot disk.
   6. Run RIPrep.exe to create a non-PXE-compliant startup disk.

   Answer: C, E

   Explanation: RIS has the following requirements:

   • DNS server
   • DHCP server
   • Active Directory (Windows 2000 Domain Controller)
   
   C: The exhibit shows the presence of Active Directory and DNS, but lack of a DHCP server.We must, therefore, add a DHCP server.
   E: Clients with non-PXE compliant network cards cannot be booted over the network and, therefore, require a RIS boot disk to be able to connect to the RIS server.A non-PXE boot disk can be created by using the RBFG.EXE utility.

2. You use Windows 2000 Professional on a desktop computer.You schedule a task to run an MMC snap-in to perform configuration tasks to another computer.You notice that the task is completing incorrectly.
