b. Windows 2000 Server supports up to 4 processors, Advanced Server supports up to 8, and Datacenter Server supports up to 16, with special OEM versions supporting up to 32.

b, c. The Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and the Windows 2000 Executive are part of the kernel mode. The integral and environment subsystems are part of the user mode.

b. The solution meets the required result and the first optional result. A workgroup environment allows users to share files and a printer, but each shared folder will require a password for access.

a, c. Setup.exe and winnt32.exe are both Windows 2000 installation programs, along with winnt.exe. Install.exe is a common DOS-based installation file, and win2k.exe is not a Windows 2000 installation program.

b, c. Windows 98 can use either winnt32.exe or setup.exe. Winnt.exe is used for 16-bit operating systems, and upgrade.exe is not a Windows 2000 installation program.

b. The minimum required for installing Windows 2000 Server is 64 MB. If you are going to support more than 5 computers on the network, you should have a minimum of 128 MB.

a. The answer file is the only file that is required to perform an unattended installation of Windows 2000 Server.

b. You can install service packs during the installation of Windows 2000 Server using a process known as service-pack slipstreaming.

a. You should upgrade and test the PDC first, followed by each BDC, one at a time. After you’re done with the PDC and BDC computers, it doesn’t matter in which order member servers and standalone servers are upgraded.

c. Once all of the BDCs and member servers are upgraded to Windows 2000, you can make a one time only, one-way switch from mixed mode to native mode. Until then, you can only run in mixed mode.

a. Only a native mode Windows 2000 network can have transitive trusts.

c. Windows 2000 domain controllers can only use NTFS.

c. Windows 2000 charges you for the uncompressed file size even if the file is compressed.

b. The link tracking service is used to maintain shortcuts even if the file or folder has been modified or moved.

c. The Change Journal, along with the Unique Sequence Number Journal, are useful to backup programs. Sparse files would be of no help in tracking changes, and mod files are fictitious.

c. File Replication Service uses a logical ring topology.

a, b, c, d. The Encrypting Filesystem uses encryption, private, public, and recovery keys.

b. The Encrypted Filesystem can only be used on NTFS volumes.

b. Encrypted data can be backed up by members of the backup group. A more likely solution is that either the tape is full or there is a problem with the tape backup device.

c. A file may be encrypted or compressed, but never both.

b. cipher is the name of the Windows 2000 command-line encryption program.

a. Whenever a compressed file is moved to a floppy disk it is uncompressed automatically.

b. When you move a file from one NTFS volume to another, the file inherits the compression state of its destination folder.

b. A differential backup leaves the archive bits unchanged.

d. Windows 2000 Active Directory uses DNS names rather than NetBIOS names.

b. Storing your web files in the WebDAV folder makes web site administration easier.

c. The FTP server included with IIS 5 is capable of resuming a broken session as long as the FTP client also supports this feature.

f. The Windows 2000 Telnet server will allow connections with any compatible Telnet client, regardless of the operating system the Telnet client is running on.

a and c. You can install Terminal Services in application sharing mode or remote administration mode.

a, c. When you are using Terminal Services to share applications, the server is doing all the hard work. You should upgrade the server rather than the clients.

d. Windows 2000 can create a VPN using dialup or dedicated connections.

d. Ntuser.man is the name of a mandatory profile. To make a roaming profile a mandatory profile, you’d rename ntuser.dat to ntuser.man.

d. Universal groups can only exist when Windows 2000 is running in native mode.

d. A print device is the physical machine that prints. A logical printer that represents the device can be assigned permissions, but the device itself cannot.

b. Microsoft digitally signs device drivers after they test them. You cannot sign your own device drivers.

c. An audit policy is the best solution. Moving or changing permissions on the file would cause the authorized users to have trouble accessing the file. Monitoring network traffic isn’t an efficient way to keep track of file access.

c. A realm is the area covered by a Kerberos authentication server.

a, b. Kerberos provides authentication for both the user and the server they are logging into. Kerberos doesn’t authenticate the domain controller unless the user is logging into that machine. Because both a and b are correct, d isn’t.

d. Task Manager is used to monitor RAM and CPU usage, not disk performance.

c. Initial performance tests are called baselines. A, b, and d have nothing to do with performance testing a computer.

c. An SNMP community is a shared password between computers running SNMP monitoring.

d. You need a local administrator’s password regardless of how the recovery console program was started.

d. You have to upgrade the PDC first. Then you should upgrade the BDCs and standalone servers, followed by the client computers.

b. Two of the three BDCs are running Pentium 133 MHz chips, the minimum required for Windows 2000 Server. The other BDC, which is running a 100 MHz Pentium, must be upgraded before it can run Windows 2000 Server.
