Selected Scenarios from MCSE Core Four Exam Cram Pack, Third Edition Scenario 1 -- NT Workstation 4 Exam Cram, Third Edition (ISBN 1576106209) Suppose the following situation exists: You must select and deploy an operating system. Required result: Ensure the operating system supports two CPUs. Optional desired results: Offer file-level security. Offer file-storage encryption. Proposed solution: Deploy Windows NT Workstation. Which results does the proposed solution produce? ? a.The proposed solution produces the required result and produces both of the optional desired results. ? b. The proposed solution produces the required result andproduces only one of the optional desired results. ? c.The proposed solution produces the required result but does not produce any of the optional desired results. ? d.The proposed solution does not produce the required result. The correct answer is b. The proposed solution of deploying Windows NT Workstation will provide support for two CPUs and file-level security, but it does not support native file-system encryption. Therefore, the proposed solution fulfills the required result and only one of the optional desired results. Scenario 2: MCSE NT Server 4 in the Enterprise Exam Cram, Third Edition (ISBN 1576106195) Suppose the following situation exists: You're the system administrator for a large company. You must design a networking system that will support your company's online needs. Required result: Ensure that all users and groups are centrally managed. Optional desired results: Allow resources to be managed from within the department in which they are located. Support a user base expansion to at least 10,000 individuals. Proposed solution: Deploy a single master domain model network based on Windows NT Server 4. Which results does the proposed solution produce? ? a. The proposed solution produces the required result and produces both of the optional desired results. ? b. The proposed solution produces the required result and produces only one of the optional desired results. ? c. The proposed solution produces the required result but does not produce any of the optional desired results. ? d. The proposed solution does not produce the required result. The correct answer is a. The proposed solution of a single master domain will provide for centralized control over users and groups, and allow resources to be managed on a departmental basis. In addition, a single domain can host up to 25,000 users theoretically, with a practical maximum of 10,000. Therefore, the proposed solution fulfills the required result and both of the optional desired results. Scenario 3: MCSE Networking Essentials Exam Cram, Third Edition (ISBN 1576106217) Suppose the following situation exists: Your company is moving into a new building where the offices will cover three floors. You're responsible for designing and deploying the network in the new building. Required result: All 1,000 clients and servers must be part of the same network. Optional desired results: The network must support transmission speeds of 100 Mbps. Interference and crosstalk must be kept to a minimum. Keep in mind that the three floors will be connected through an elevator shaft. Proposed solution: Deploy an Ethernet network employing 10Base2 cabling. Which results does the proposed solution produce? ? a. The proposed solution produces the required result and produces both of the optional desired results. ? b. The proposed solution produces the required result and produces only one of the optional desired results. ? c. The proposed solution produces the required result but does not produce any of the optional desired results. ? d. The proposed solution does not produce the required result. The correct answer is d. 10Base2 cabling can effectively host only 900 nodes per network. Therefore, the required result is not fulfilled. Furthermore, 10Base2 does not support 100 Mbps transmission speeds, but it does offer shielded cable, which keeps interference and crosstalk down. The best solution for this task would be to use STP, or, if cost is not a factor, fiber optic cabling. Scenario 4: MCSE NT Server 4 Exam Cram, Third Edition (ISBN 1576106187) Suppose the following situation exists: Your network has three BDCs to help spread the workload and prevent the PDC from becoming overloaded. A power fluctuation causes the PDC to go offline. Required result: Add four new user accounts to the domain. Optional desired results: Define roaming profiles for the new accounts. Force the users to change their passwords on the next logon. Proposed solution: Create the new user accounts with an instance of the User Manager For Domains. Define a profile path for each user while configuring the user accounts. Select the User Must Change Password At Next Logon checkbox on each account. Which results does the proposed solution produce? ? a. The proposed solution produces the required result and produces both of the optional desired results. ? b. The proposed solution produces the required result and produces only one of the optional desired results. ? c. The proposed solution produces the required result but

does not produce any of the optional desired results. ? d. The proposed solution does not produce the required result. The correct answer is d. Without a PDC, no changes to the SAM database of a domain can occur; thus, new user accounts cannot be created. The best solution for this situation would be to temporarily promote a BDC to a PDC while repairs are made to the original PDC and it is brought back online.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for exam cramming, March 15, 2000

This review is from: MCSE Core Four Exam Cram Pack, Third Edition (Exam: 70-058, 70-067, 70-068, 70-073) (Paperback)

I bought this core pack and the individual IIS and TCP/IP. After taking some classes, it was the perfect tool to cram with. I did not want to go though a 500-700 page book, so 180 or so pages was perfect. I passed one test a week.

An easy to read, comprehensive set of books. Just right for supplementing Microsoft Press Training Kits. I am proud to have a 100% success rate in all of my Microsoft exams, in part because of this series of books.
