Question 9

A.  From a primary name server

B.  From a master name server

C.  From a backup name server

D.  From a proxy name server

Question 10

To use the Virtual Server feature of Internet Information Server, how must the computer first be configured?

A.  As a DNS server

B.  With a dedicated connection to the Internet

C.  With multiple network adapters, each with a unique IP address bound to a single virtual server

D.  With a single network adapter having multiple unique IP addresses, each bound to a single virtual server

Question 11

For what is the Windows NT Server Directory Replication feature primarily used?

A.  For the replication of logon scripts, system policy files, and other commonly used information

B.  To manage WINS replication

C.  To manage DNS replication

D.  As a primary backup system

Question 12

What would you use to configure directory replication?

A.  User Manager for Domains

B.  Replication Governor

C.  Server Manager

D.  WINS Manager

Question 13

You have noticed a marked increase in network traffic and suspect it is the result of either Pulse or PulseConcurrency being incorrectly configured. What registry hive contains these settings on each domain controller?

A.  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

B.  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

C.  HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

D.  HKEY_DYN_DATA

Question 14

You think that the amount of network traffic has increased over the past six months. In an effort to decrease this traffic you should

A.  Place a backup domain controller on each subnet of your network.

B.  Eliminate traffic generated by DHCP by manually entering IP addresses on all clients.

C.  Configure each client to use broadcasts for all name resolution.

D.  Use Network Monitor to capture and analyze network traffic and compare it to baseline data.

Question 15

To optimize the efficiency of your domain name server, you should

A.  Install a domain name server on each segment of your network and make each one a secondary server to its closest neighbor.

B.  Locate all domain servers on the same segment as your primary domain controller. Lengthen the TTL of the cache.

C.  Configure each client to use the domain name server that is most likely to be able to resolve its name requests.

D.  Configure your domain controller to use WINS to resolve NetBIOS names.

Question 16

After installing an intranet hosted by an Internet Information Server, users complain that it takes longer to log on or to access network resources. Information obtained by using Network Monitor indicates that the use of the intranet has doubled your network traffic. You should

A.  Instruct your users to stop using the intranet during peak usage time.

B.  Configure the IIS server to limit bandwidth utilization to 50 percent of available bandwidth.

C.  Move your IIS server to the same computer that hosts your users’ home directories.

D.  Decrease the amount of information available to your users via the intranet.

Question 17

After installing a WINS server at a remote office, the users start complaining that network access is periodically slow. After analyzing it, you feel that this periodic slowdown is the result of WINS replication. In order to reduce this problem you should

A.  Remove the WINS server and return to using broadcasts for name resolution at the remote office.

B.  Remove the push/pull relationship between the WINS server at the remote location and the WINS server at the home office.

C.  Set the pull interval on the remote WINS server to occur every six hours. Do not configure the WINS server at the home office as a push partner.

D.  Increase the NetBIOS cache timeout at the remote office.

Question 18

Users at a remote office must access a directory containing forms located on a server at the home office frequently throughout the day. You set up directory replication between the server containing the forms and an NT workstation located at the remote office. In order to optimize traffic across the WAN link, you should

A.  Configure directory replication to occur once a day using the Windows Explorer.

B.  Lengthen both the Interval and Pulse parameters in the registry of the export server.

C.  Lengthen the Interval parameter on the export server and the Pulse parameter on the import workstation.

D.  Lengthen the Interval parameter on the import workstation and the Pulse parameter on the export server.

Question 19

Users at a remote site complain about slow logons every morning. To correct this problem you install a backup domain controller at the remote office. Users then begin complaining of slow access across the WAN link to the home office throughout the day. To alleviate this problem you should

A.  Increase both the ReplicationGovernor and the PulseConcurrency parameters.

B.  Increase the ReplicationGovernor parameter and decrease the PulseConcurrency parameter.

C.  Decrease both the ReplicationGovernor and the PulseConcurrency parameters.

D.  Decrease the ReplicationGovernor parameter and increase the PulseConcurrency parameter.

Question 20

During your periodic monitoring of network traffic you notice that one of your Windows 95 clients is forcing a browser election every time it boots. To correct this you should

A.  Tell the user of that client not to reboot his machine.

B.  Configure the Windows 95 client to never be a browser.

C.  Configure the Windows 95 client to be a backup browser.

D.  Do nothing. This is normal behavior for a Windows 95 computer.

Question 21

When looking at your WINS database, you notice that each of your clients has registered both a workstation and server service. To decrease traffic related to your WINS server, you should

A.  Do nothing. Both services are necessary for clients to be able to access network resources.

B.  Stop the workstation service on those clients that do not share resources.

C.  Stop the server service on those clients that do not share resources.

D.  Stop both the server and workstation services on all NT workstation clients.

11.8.2. Exercises

Exercise 11.1

Now that your head is full of figures, how can you use this new-found knowledge? Suppose you work for a company with an office in Baton Rouge and another in Lafayette.

As the MIS manager it is your responsibility to implement a way for the two offices to communicate and share data. You also must provide for centralized administration of users and resources. Your home office has 800 users and the remote office contains only six users. The two offices are connected by a 28.8Kbps dial-on-demand RAS connection.

What domain model would you use?

How would you provide services such as domain controllers, WINS, DHCP, and DNS servers?

Exercise 11.2

As time goes by, your company grows, especially the branch office in Lafayette. You now must support 95 users at the branch office as well as 1,100 users at the home office in Baton Rouge. Your users in Lafayette are beginning to complain about slow logons on almost a daily basis.

Although you have recommended to management that the WAN link must be upgraded, the decision is still pending. What can you do to optimize the functioning of your network so that users can more efficiently do their work while waiting for the faster link to be approved and then installed?
