| What happens when Server Manager is installed on a Windows 95 computer? | When Windows NT Server Tools for Windows 95 are installed on a Windows 95 computer, the capabilities of Explorer are expanded to include the ability to manage file permissions and printer security settings on a Windows NT computer on the network. Note: Server Manager is used to manage shared folders and printers on Windows NT-based computers. |
| to allow the computer to boot from the mirror partition on startup: | The fault tolerant boot disk must be formatted by Windows NT. Then, he has to copy NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM, NTBOOTDD.SYS, and BOOT.INI to the disk. Then, he has to manually edit the BOOT.INI file to make it point to the mirror partition, using the ARC pathname convention. |

| NTOSKRNL.EXE | Needed to boot both Instel (CISC) and RISC based processors. It belongs in the must be in the %System Root%/system32 folder of the boot partition (along with other system files). |
| SYSTEM PARTITION | PARTITION contains the files that Windows NT Server requires to boot (the BOOT FILES) in the root directory of the drive. these include BOOT.INI, NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM, NTBOOTDD.SYS and/or BOOTSECT.DOS |
| BOOT PARTITION | contains the SYSTEM FILES (serverroot\system32). It is where the WINNT folder (the folder containing the NT program files) is located. It can be on any partition, but not on a volume set. |
| Installation Startup Disk | Created with the Network Client Administrator tool, the disk is a single bootable floppy disk that contains just enough software to connect a computer to the shared folder on the NT Server and install the client software over the network. The bootable floppy must be formatted under MS-DOS, to create an MS-DOS boot sector on the disk |

| WINNT32/ ox | Running WINNT32.EXE /ox will allow her to create or re-create those setup disks, in case they have been mislaid or destroyed, without actually initializing the entire setup and installation process. WINNT.EXE or WINNT32.EXE are the only two executable utilities that she can use to recreate the setup disks. WINNT.EXE should be used from any DOS, Windows, or Windows NT computer other than Windows NT Server 3.5x or above. WINNT32.EXE should be used from a computer running Windows NT Server 3.5x or above. These setup disks are different from the Emergency Repair Disk (ERD), which is created using the RDISK utility. |
| Server Manager | Server Manager is used to manage shared folders and printers on Windows NT-based computers. |
| Windows Explorer | Windows Explorer is part of the Windows NT and Windows 95 operating systems and cannot control shares on remote computers. |

| three things needed for an NT user to access resources on a Novell server | 1) The Gateway Service for NetWare (GSNW) must be installed on the NT Server, 2) the NetWare server must have a group called NTGATEWAY with an appropriate user account, and 3) a Windows NT Server drive or printer must be mapped to the shared NetWare resource. |
| Which parameters are monitored to check to see if excessive paging is occurring? | You need both the Pages/Sec of the Memory object and the Avg. Disk Sec/Transfer of the Physical Disk object to get a good idea of paging problems. Multiply the Pages/Sec by the Avg. Disk Sec/Transfer and you will arrive at the percentage of disk access time devoted to paging. If this number is over 10%, this is an indication of paging problems. Paging File: % Usage defines how much of the actual paging file is in use by the system. Paging File: Usage Peak defines how much disk space (in bytes) the paging file has used at its peak. |
| What are the minimum requirements for a computer to run the Windows NT Server tools in a Windows NT 4.0 workstation? | at least a 486DX/33 processor, 12 MB RAM minimum, Workstation and Server services must be installed, and there must be at least 2.5 MB of free space in the system partition. |

| How is the Migration Tool for Netware initialzed? | Type NWCONV.EXE at the command prompt. |
| what needs to be on the NT server to migrate Netware resources and users over to NT? | GSNW, NWLINK, and the Migration Tool for Netware (Migration tool is installed atomatically when NT is installed). |
| What is CSNW used for? | Client Service for NetWare (CSNW) is installed on workstations that access NetWare resources directly (file and printer services) without the use of a gateway. |
| How many RAS connections can he have with a single Windows NT 4.0 server? | 256 |
| The DEVICE.LOG file records the dialogue between the modem and the RAS server. Once device logging is enabled, the log file is stored in the ... | winnt_root\System32\RAS directory. |
| Steps for installing a tape backup drive... | 1) Install the driver for the tape backup drive, 2) Install the driver for the scsi card, 3) restart the computer. |
| What needs to be done in order to use network performance counters in the Performance Monitor, | Network Monitor Agent must be installed and running on the server. The Network Monitor Agent will cause your network adapter to run in what is called "promiscuous" mode, which allows the network adapter to read all frames passed over the network and redirect these frames to the operating system. |
| what does Microsoft Network Client 3.0 for MS-DOS support? | Microsoft Network Client 3.0 for MS-DOS supports NetBEUI, IPX-Compatible Transport, TCP/IP, and DLC. It supports the full redirector, thereby allowing the MS-DOS client to have domain logon capability and logon scripts, Remote Access Service version 1.1, Messaging, and use of mechanisms such as RPCs and WinSock connections. |
| If the user’s server-based profile is unavailable during logon, where will NT access the user's profile? | If the user’s server-based profile is unavailable during logon, Windows NT will either access the user’s last locally cached profile on his workstation, or the default profile on the workstation. The default profile will only be used if the user has not successfully logged into the domain before. |
| You want to get some numeric statistics on how well the five servers in your department are doing at handling the network traffic. What function of Windows NT would you use to obtain this information? | You should choose to use Performance Monitor rather than Network Monitor to obtain the information. The Report view of Performance Monitor presents the information in numeric form, rather than as a graph (Chart view). Network Monitor would not provide you with this information. |
| Terence is a local user of a member server in the Marketing domain. His username is Terry1, and his user profile is stored locally on his C: drive. Where are the desktop shortcuts for Terry1 stored? | Each user on a workstation has a directory named after their username, that is a sub-directory of the WINNT\PROFILES directory. The directory called DESKTOP is a subdivision of the WINNT\PROFILES\USER_NAME directory, and it contains desktop items, including shortcuts and files. Therefore: C:\WINNT\PROFILES\TERRY1\DESKTOP |
| Marie has NWLink and CSNW installed on all the workstations in her network. What NetWare protocols are supported by this installation? | NWLink and CSNW installed on a Windows NT-based computer give that computer support for NetWare Core Protocol (similar functionality to Microsoft’s Server Message Blocks or SMB Protocol) and support for Large Internet Protocol (LIP), which allows the routed connections to negotiate the largest available packet size. Therefore, Large Internet Protocol (LIP), and NetWare Core Protocol (NCP). |
| Should you place a paging file on a stripe set with parity? | NO. Microsoft advises that you should not place a paging file on a stripe set with parity. In this instance, you should place the paging file on the disk with least activity. (Aviod the boot paritiion which contains the systems). |

Which of the pieces of information listed below does it request by default? | Subnet mask & IP address by default. (It server can also supply a default gateway address, if one is not configured manually on the client. While the system administrator can attach DNS addresses and WINS server addresses to the DHCP scope, these are NOT delivered to the DHCP client by default). |
| In performance monitor, the value for Physical Disk: % Disk Time should not exceed.... | 85% Values above 85% indicate that you may need to upgrade the disk drive being monitored. |
| Can FAT volumes be extended? | No. Volumes in FAT partitions cannot be extended. She could convert the partition to NTFS, and then extend the volume. Of course, if it is her boot partition, this would not be feasible, either. And, once a volume has been extended, it cannot be reduced in size. |
