You have been assigned the job of configuring five new servers that will run Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Your responsibility is to implement a low cost disk fault-tolerance system that will keep the servers running even if the disk controller fails. Which of the following configurations will help you accomplish this considering the servers have only two hard drives each?
A. Create striped volumes
B. Create mirrored volumes
C. Implement disk duplexing
D. Implement RAID5 volumes

C. Implement disk duplexing. The disk duplexing methods will keep the servers running even if the disk controller fails. This method of mirroring is supported in Windows 2000 servers by installing separate disk controllers for each of the disk.

A is incorrect because the striped volumes are not fault tolerant. B is incorrect because mirrored volumes have a single disk controller and if the disk controller fails, the server cannot keep running. D is incorrect because the servers only have two disks each and RAID5 volumes need a minimum of three disks.

1.0 out of 5 stars MCSE Test Yourself Review, January 23, 2001

This review is from: Test Yourself MCSE Windows 2000 Accelerated (Exam 70-240) (Paperback)

I purchased this book as part of a Windows 2000 Accelerated box set. After looking through it, I wish I hadn't. This book is poor, and cannot be trusted to reliably help you with your exam preparation, because not all of the answers are reliable. As an example, chapter 3, first question asks a scenario based question, with a required result and proposed solution. The actual answer it gives is that you should install AD client on NT 4.0 Workstations to connect to a Win 2000 server, and this can be obtained from NT 4 Service Pack 7. I don't need to study anything to know that client software ISN'T needed on NT4 Workstations for 2000 connectivity, and even if it were, there isn't an NT4 Service Pack 7 around to get it from! All in all, a pretty poor book, and I feel it's just a book thats jumping on the certification bandwagon to try and exploit the paying public.
