Subject: server question
You create a stripe set with parity on a Windows NT Server computer with 3
disk drives connected to a SCSI controller. After one of the drives fail,
you replace it with a new one. The drive that contains the system and paging
files was not affected. How do you restore?
a) Back up the existing data to another disk or tape and recreate the stripe
set and restore the data.
b) Use disk administrator to select existing stripe members, on the new disk
drive select a space that is AT LEAST the same size as the exiting stripe
members and choose Regenerate from the fault tolerance menu.
c) Use disk administrator to create a partition on the new disk drive that
is the same size as the individual drive members and choose regenerate form
the fault tolerance menu of disk administrator.
d) Do nothing. NT Server will automatically detect the new disk and recover
the stripe set with parity.
those are the two possible answers, what's your opinion?
Answer - C (Originally was B, in a Stripe Set, all drives must be the same
size. Answer B seems to imply you can have a larger partition than the
existing ones, which is wrong.)
XXX-man> I am afraid I'm gonna have to go with B as well. It is really
impossible in the real world to get two, let alone three, hard drives the
same size. When setting up a strip set with parity, the drives must be very
close to the same size, then NT will create 3 partitions on the 3 drives
that are EXACTLY the same size. When replacing a bad drive, it must be AT
LEAST as big as the other two partitions, it certainly cannot be smaller

Hi everyone.
I passed the core exams in the MCSE track. Now I am ready to choose
electives to take. I am having a bit of a problem choosing.
First of all I want a good job out of this.
I want to choose Electives that are needed in the workplace.
I want to choose Electives that will tie in with win 2k.
I don't want to do IIS or IP because they are being retired, and they will
not count toward the win 2k cert when I upgrade.
But I will do IP anyway for the knowlage that is needed.
So, that means I need to choose 2 other electives that will qualify for the
win 2k track. O and they must be NT 4 electives.
Does anyone know which will count toward 2000.
I know its the ones that will not retire, but does anyone know for definate
which will qualify.
And also, could someone tell me which Electives cover material that is in
demand in the workplace.
Thank you all.

To make a boot disk requires a few simple steps:
1) Format a floppy disk on a 95 workstation using the format /s command to
transfer the system
2) Use the NT Network Client Administrator to make a boot disk for a farily
standard card (doesn't matter what), i.e. 3Com 3C509B
3) Get the NDIS2 drivers for the card you need to boot from the supplier.
The file you will need will have the extension '.dos'
4) Copy the '.dos' file into the /net directory on the boot disk
5) Edit /net/protocol.ini and change the drivername variable to the name of
the file WITHOUT the extension, and with a $ foillowing, i.e. if your driver
is called nicdrv.dos then the line is drivername=NICDRV$
6) Edit /net/system.ini and change the actual name of the driver file (which
you will find about halfway down, also ending in .dos, this time it's the
actual name of the file you copied to the floppy)
And, presuming all is present and correct, the boot disk will boot, find
your network card and pick up an address from DHCP...

Hi there,
I need a clarification from anyone in a similar situation:
I am an MCSE. I want to pass 3 additional exams to become MCSE + Intrernet.
Question 1: When I pass IIS 4.0, will I receive ANOTHER Certificate stating
that I am an MCP+I (although I am an MCSE already!)?
Question 2: When I complete all three exams and get my MCSE+Internet, will
MS send yet ANOTHER Certificate for MCSE+Internet?
If they do send separate certificates for each certification that you
technically achieve, that would mean that I might end up with 4
Certificates: MCP, MCP+i , MCSE, MCSE+Internet. Now, wouldn't that be cool?

Dear all:
I am a MCSE for NT4.0.
Now I am planning to upgrade to win2k.
I know the exam for w2k still have not been released yet.
According to the message from Microsoft, the MCSE for NT4.0 just only have
to attend the 2 core exams and 2 elect exams.
The 2 core exams is  absolutely necessary, so that is no doubt I got to prepare.
However, I received the DM from Microsoft this morning.
As the indication from this DM, the 70-059(TCP/IP ON NT4.0) and the
70-087(IIS4.0) could be the
elect exams for W2K MCSE.
If it is true, I just only have to study 2 course.
It sounds really great.
Any body could tell me is it really true?
BTW, I have another question.
The TCP/IP and IIS 4.0 would be retired in Dec,2000, right?
If it's right, it does mean that I have to upgrade to w2k before the end of 2000.
Otherwise, I would miss the chance of an easy way to upgrade.
It's appreciated your assistance.

I have a a Microsoft Domain network, with the PDC server (NT Server .0) and
the workstations (Windows 95). All the clients are printing to a HP 2000C
printer and have the same problem: when a document is printing, it doesn't
continue printing, but when restarts to continue printing, it begins at page
1, not at the last printed page. For example, the document has 60 pages, the
printing process stops at page 40, and when restart, reprint all the
document, not from page 40 to end page.
All the clients have the latest printer driver for Windows 95 installed
locally. The NT Server has their last version installed on. Both NT and 95
driver version is 2.3. It happens with normal documents and transparences
too. Apparently this hardware is supported by 95 and NT according to
Microsoft Hardware Compatibility List.
I've obtained a temporal solution activating the "optime quality" on printer
properties, but then documents are printed slowly, and taht's not the solution.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi There:
I am confounded and confused by a lot of what Microsoft is doing.  One thing
that is particularly startling me is their surprising decision to retire all
the NT4 exams as of December 31st.   I am an attorney switching careers, and I
had planned to study  hard, get a part time job,  and get an MCSE+I as I am
very interested in the internet for web serving and internetworking, as opposed
to just a normal network.  I wanted to learn IE5 configuration and Proxy
Server, etc.    Now it seems like maybe I should just devote 100% of my time to
just studying in order just to get the plain ol' MCSE before December 31st.
But before I decide on this, it begs an important question.  Is Microsoft going
to continue to support the MCSE+I designation?  I can't seem to find it on the
Windows 2000 tests.  Is it still valuable for me to get as someone switching
careers completely that wants to go into the internet, or will it end up being
a waste of my time, money, and energy?   Does anyone have opinions on the
MCSE+I or know the future of it?

The correct answer is B.
E. is not correct because LMHOSTS only deals with computer name resolution
(e.g. if Patty typed "PING RED" instead of "PING <ipaddress>")
D. is too broad to be a specific answer.  While technically probably
correct, it isn't the "best" answer.
C. WINS has to do with host name resolution (e.g. if Patty typed "PING
red.com" instead of "PING <ipaddress>"
A. could also be correct, but it usually an obvious correction because it's
simply a matter of viewing that the address is incorrect
B. Is a problem that occurs a lot because it's not easy to identify.  For
example, 255.255.0.0 can easily be overlooked as 255.255.255.0.  Or if
subnetting is used, the math isn't obvious.
For example:
Patty's computer is 10.0.1.1 w/ a subnet entry of 255.255.255.0
RED is 10.0.1.245 on a separate subnet.
A correct entry for Patty's subnet mast could be 255.255.255.192.
Because Patty's computer thinks that 10.0.1.245 is on the same subnet,
it doesn't try to go through the gateway....hence no response.
In conclusion, one of the difficult part about these exams is the need to
pick the BEST answer.  Other's could be correct in a technical sense, but
one answer is always more accurate.

Jerry,
Firstly, don't freak out about adaptive tests -- they are your friend!
Basically, here is how an adaptive test works. Questions are ranked by
difficulty, let's say 1-5. Questions are also divided by competency. The
test will ask you a 'level 5 question on competnecy A'. If you get it right,
good for you. You have shown a good deal of mastery of this competency and
will be asked some easier follow-up questions later. If you get it wrong,
you will be asked a 'level 4 question on competency A'. If you get this
right, its back to a level 5 question (maybe you just misread the last one).
If you get it wrong, you get another easier one. This doesn't last forever,
though. Once you have proven your ignorance sufficiently, the test moves on
to another subject and you have lost enough points not to pass.
That brings me to scoring.
Since the questions are weighted, their value is weighted. The great thing
about adaptive tests is that if you nail enough high level questions, you
can get a passing score in ~ 15 - 20 questions. Once you have reached a
passing level, the test ends. You can't ace an adaptive, it just won't et
you. On the flip side, as I stated above, if you goof up enough, you will be
hopelessly lost. I have heard if you make it to around question 25, then
your test is over and you have failed.
Be aware, my description of the testing process is using my own terms and
this level/competency information is not displayed on the test.
FYI, I finished my NT Workstation test in about 20 minutes. The non-adaptive
Network Essentials took me ~ 50. Which do I prefer ... you make the call.
If you have mastered the test information, then you don't need to be worried
about the testing format.

I have passes NETESS with 933...
My goals for the year are NTWS, NTSERVER, and ENTERPRISE.
Yes, I am going for the NT 4 core to qualify for the WIN2K advanced exams.
Now, my question for the day is: .... wait for it ...wait for it.....
How many chances do you get to attempt the advanced exams?
(I think I have read somewhere that you are limited to the number of chances
to pass the 2 advanced exams.)
And if you do fail ... do you have to do the entire WIN2K track ... ALL 7
EXAMS !!!!!!!!!
Thanks
Paul

Subject: FYI on Enteprise
I passed Enteprise today with a 741.  It was much more difficult than any of
the other core I have taken because the questions did not accurately reflect
the transcenders or www.petri.co.il tests.  Not that they were totally off
but it just seemed as though there were some very different questions.  I
had about eight scenario questions which from what I was told was a good
indicator that I was doing well.  Question number 22 was this:
NT server acting as a router between to subnets.  Clients use both Macintosh
and NT as OS.  What do you need to adjust on Server to make sure Macintosh
is working.
I know one of the answers was zone but not sure of the other.  I have only
seen this on one other braindump worded pretty much the same as mine but I
don't remember where.  Try and remember this one.  Any more questions feel
free to write.  This is such a good newsgroup.
I am looking for any practice with Exchange 5.5 if anybody knows any good
sites.

Subject: Internet Explorer 5.0
Here is a question:
I am an MCSE and going for my MCSE+Internet. I need Exchange and IEAK exams
in order to get certified.
I am aware that Exchange 5.5 is the latest available EXAM version of
Exchange, and that is fine. I am sure that Exchange 2000 will not be in exam
format for some time now. In other words, I will prepare Exchange 5.5 and
pass it, as I can not wait for Exchange 2000.
However, IEAK 5.0 was rolled out in February, it IS the valid exam for
MCSE+Internet, it is also an MCSE elective, it is, of course MCP exam.....
but there are no books???
(By the way, if you want to pick which electives won't be retired on Dec 31,
2000, IEAK is a very safe bet - it is only 3 months old and I am almost sure
will be counted towards W2K, along with SQL 7's, SMS 2, Proxy 2).
Now, I can not imagine that there is no demand whatsoever for this exam?!?!?
I tried Microsoft Press Self-Paced Study Guides, Sybex MCSE Study Guide
books and Coriolis Exam Prep/Cram..... not even a mention of IEAK 5.0
Training guides.
Does anyone know if there is a study guide for IEAK 5.0 or even better, is
there anyone out there who has taken this exam to help direct me to good
resources. P>L>E>A>S>E !!!
Thanks a ton,
Dalibor, MCSE

Subject: Local Admin => Domain Admin
Try this at a workstation:
Log on as local administrator & make some user a member of local
administrators.
then
Log on as Domain Admin & make someone else a local Admin.
THEN
Go to your domain controller & check who is a local administrator.
Guess who shows up.

Do you have the cable connected diretly to each PC? In that case You would
need a cross-connect cable or you'll need to connect them through a hub.

I can't find any other news group to post this to.  I hope you don't
mind me posting it here.
A person who I have no contact with anymore set up my home network.  I
have a computer running NT 4.0 Server and a computer running NT 4.0
Workstation eand network cable connecting the two.  He had set up a
share on the server so I could get to files on the server from the
worstation.  I use to be able to click on a file or folder on the server
by going through NT Explorer on the Workstation.  Now I can not even
click on the server name from NT Explorer on the Workstation.  The
server name is Paradise.  The error I get is:  \\Paradise is not
accessible.  The password of this user has expired.  Do you know how I
can get this to work again??  What do I do?
Thank you very much!!!
Keith
