While using the Performance console to monitor printing, you notice that the Job Errors counter for a high-performance laser printer is 15. What does this tell you?
a. Since the spooler was started, 15 Job Errors have been recorded.
b. Since the printer was last offline, 15 Job Errors have been recorded.
c. Since you started monitoring the printer, 15 Job Errors have been recorded.
d. The number of actual errors experienced by print jobs is 15.
|
|
Definition
ANS: A
EXPLANATION: The Job Errors counter specifies the number of Job Errors that have been recorded since the spooler was started. The answers “Since the printer was last offline, 15 Job Errors have been recorded” and “Since you started monitoring the printer, 15 Job Errors have been recorded” are incorrect. The number of Job Errors is measured from the last time the spooler was started. The answer “The number of actual errors experienced by print jobs is 15” is incorrect. Although this might in fact be the case, a single print job might experience multiple errors and only record a single Job Error, so it is not a reliable gauge of the number of actual errors experienced by print jobs.

You have created a printer on a Windows Server 2003 system. During the creation process, you shared the printer out, but now you want to configure the printer so it is not listed in Active Directory. Which of the following is the correct way to do this?
a. Select the printer icon in the Printers And Faxes window and, from the File menu, select Properties. In the General tab, clear the List In The Directory check box.
b. Select the printer icon in the Printers And Faxes window. Right-click the icon, and deselect List In The Directory on the menu.
c. Select the printer icon in the Printers And Faxes window and, from the File menu, select Sharing. Clear the List In The Directory check box.
d. Locate the corresponding printer object in Active Directory Users And Computers, and delete or disable it.
|
|
Definition
ANS: C
EXPLANATION: For a printer to not be listed in Active Directory, the List In The Directory check box in the Sharing tab of the printer’s properties must be cleared. You can access this tab by selecting the printer icon in the Printers And Faxes window and selecting Sharing from the File menu. The answer “Select the printer icon in the Printers And Faxes window and, from the File menu, select Properties. In the General tab, clear the List In The Directory check box” is incorrect. The List In The Directory check box is in the Sharing tab, not the General tab. The answer “Select the printer icon in the Printers And Faxes window. Right-click the icon, and deselect List In The Directory on the menu” is incorrect. You cannot clear the List In The Directory option in this way. The answer “Locate the corresponding printer object in Active Directory Users And Computers, and delete or disable it” is incorrect. When a printer is listed in Active Directory, a printer object for it is not created in Active Directory. Therefore, there is no Active Directory printer object that can be deleted through Active Directory Users And Computers. (Discussion starts on page 330.)

You have created a printer called SALES LASER on the SALES server. What is the default share name for the printer?
a. SALESLASER
b. SALES LA
c. SALESLAS
d. SALESSALESLASER
|
|
Definition
ANS: C
EXPLANATION: When you first share out a printer, the default share name is the first eight nonblank characters of the printer name. In this case, because the printer name is SALES LASER, the default share name uses SALES, ignores the space, and then uses the first three characters of the second word, LAS. The result is SALESLAS. All of the other answers are incorrect. (Discussion starts on page 326.)

Your manager has asked you to configure the company’s Windows Server 2003 system so users in the Sales department can be charged for the use of a high-resolution color laser printer to which the department has exclusive access. Which of the following are you most likely to do to achieve this?
a. Implement auditing on the color printer.
b. Use the Performance console to monitor printer usage.
c. Enable disk quotas for the spool directory.
d. Configure the properties of the printer so printed documents are kept after they have been printed.
|
|
Definition
ANS: B
EXPLANATION: By using the Total Jobs Printed or Total Pages Printed counters, you can get an accurate total for the printer usage. The answer “Implement auditing on the color printer” is incorrect. Although you can implement auditing to track how many jobs are printed, this approach is less than ideal because a number of events can be created for a single print job. The answer “Enable disk quotas for the spool directory” is incorrect. Disk quotas are implemented on a volume, not on the directory level. They would not be an accurate measure of printer usage anyway. The answer “Configure the properties of the printer so printed documents are kept after they have been printed” is incorrect. Keeping jobs that have printed is an option in the Advanced tab of a printer’s properties, but this would involve keeping a number of potentially large print jobs on the disk, which is not a great use of available disk space.

You are the network administrator for a small book distribution company. The network comprises 2 Windows Server 2003 systems, 3 Windows 2000 Professional workstations, and 11 Windows 98 systems. The company uses two laser printers that are connected directly to the network. One of the Windows Server 2003 systems is configured as the print server for both printers. You have subscribed to an e-mail notification system provided by the printer manufacturer, which informs you that new printer drivers are available for Windows 98 and Windows Server 2003. No new drivers are available for Windows 2000. Which of the following procedures do you follow to install and update the printer drivers?
a. On the Windows Server 2003 systems, update the drivers for both Windows Server 2003 and Windows 98. In addition, install the Windows 98 drivers on the client systems.
b. On the Windows Server 2003 systems, update the drivers for both Windows Server 2003 and Windows 98.
c. On the Windows Server 2003 systems, update the drivers for both Windows Server 2003 and Windows 98. Select the Automatic Update Of Clients option in the Sharing tab of the printer’s properties.
d. Install the new Windows 98 drivers on the Windows 98 client systems. Install the Windows Server 2003 drivers on the server.
|
|
Definition
ANS: A
EXPLANATION: You must install the new driver on both the client and the server because client computers running Windows 95 or Windows 98 do not check for updated printer drivers after the initial download of the driver. Therefore, if a new driver is available, it must be installed on both the server and the client systems. The answer “On the Windows Server 2003 systems, update the drivers for both Windows Server 2003 and Windows 98” is incorrect. You would need to install the new driver on the client systems as well. The answer “On the Windows Server 2003 systems, update the drivers for both Windows Server 2003 and Windows 98. Select the Automatic Update Of Clients option in the Sharing tab of the printer’s properties” is incorrect. There is no Automatic Update Of Clients option in the Sharing tab of a printer’s properties. The answer “Install the new Windows 98 drivers on the Windows 98 client systems. Install the Windows Server 2003 drivers on the server” is incorrect. You would need to update the drivers for Windows 98 on the server system as well. (Discussion starts on page 330.)

You are the network administrator for a large department store. The network comprises 3 Windows Server 2003 systems and 134 workstations, and 47 of those workstations are configured as point-of-sale terminals. There are 27 printers, all of which are connected directly to the network. Each of the seven customer service desks has a PC and a color laser printer. The PCs are for customers to browse the company’s online catalog and to print product information sheets. However, your manager has learned that someone might be using one of the PCs and color laser printers to print personal material after hours. He asks you to enable auditing on the printer to determine if this is indeed the case. You enable auditing on the printer, but when you review the Security log the following evening, there are no entries of any kind, even though you know that legitimate printing was done during the day. What is the most likely cause of the problem?
a. Audit events are not recorded in the Security log.
b. Users are creating print jobs as the special identity Everyone and are therefore not subject to auditing.
c. You cannot audit successful print jobs—only failed print jobs.
d. Object auditing might not be enabled.
|

Definition
ANS: D
EXPLANATION: For printer auditing to work, you must enable the Audit Object Access policy. If you do not, no events of any type are recorded. The answer “Audit events are not recorded in the Security log” is incorrect. Audit events are recorded in the Security log of Event Viewer. The answer “Users are creating print jobs as the special identity Everyone and are therefore not subject to auditing” is incorrect. Special identities are not exempted from auditing. The answer “You cannot audit successful print jobs—only failed print jobs” is incorrect. You can audit both failed and successful print jobs. (Discussion starts on page 343.)

You are the network administrator for a sporting goods wholesaler. The network comprises 2 Windows Server 2003 systems, 23 Windows 98 workstations, and 4 Windows 2000 Professional workstations. The company has two high-speed laser printers that are connected directly to the network. A user with a Windows 98 workstation reports that he is having problems printing from Microsoft Word. When you visit the user’s workstation, you discover that he cannot print from any other application on the workstation either, even though he was able to earlier in the day. You log on as yourself, attempt to print, and are able to do so. In addition, the user at the next desk, who is also using a Windows 98 workstation, is able to print from Word and Microsoft Excel to the same printer that the user is attempting to print to. What is the most likely cause of the problem?
a. The printer driver on the user’s workstation is corrupted.
b. A job-specific printer configuration is preventing the user from printing.
c. The printer driver on the server has become corrupted.
d. The user has become disconnected from the printer.
|
|
Definition
ANS: D
EXPLANATION: Even though it might not be apparent, the most likely answer based on a process of elimination is that the user has become disconnected from the printer. If the user logs back on again, the printer will probably be reconnected and the user will be able to print. The answer “The printer driver on the user’s workstation is corrupted” is incorrect. If you are able to print while logged on with your user ID, the printer driver on the workstation is most likely not corrupted. The answer “A job-specific printer configuration is preventing the user from printing” is incorrect. Although a job-specific printer configuration might prevent a user from printing, the user has tried to print from two different applications, so this is unlikely to be the problem because the incorrect job specification would have to be the same in both applications to prevent the user from printing. The answer “The printer driver on the server has become corrupted” is incorrect. Given that you and the user at the next desk are both able to print to the printer, it is unlikely that the printer driver on the server has become corrupted. (Discussion starts on page 344.)

You are the network administrator for a stock brokerage. The network comprises 2 Windows Server 2003 systems and 57 Windows XP Professional workstations. You have three network-attached printers that are hosted by one of the Windows Server 2003 systems that is configured as the print server. Two of the printers are Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 4050s and are named Accounts and Admin. The third printer is a Hewlett-Packard DeskJet printer, which is called Publish. The Accounts and Publish printers are on the first floor of the building, and the Admin printer is on the second floor.
One morning, a user from the Accounting department reports that her print job has stopped coming out of the Accounts printer, with only 43 of 75 pages printed. Fourteen other jobs are in the print queue behind the job that has stopped. You check that print queue and find that the print job indeed appears to be stuck in the print queue, with only half of it printed. You determine that the printer has actually stopped printing altogether and will not even print a test page. You check the print queue again and find that there are now 21 print jobs in the print queue. Which of the following do you do next?
a. Redirect the logical printer to the Admin printer. Tell the user to collect the rest of the job from the Admin printer. Notify all of the users of the Accounts printer that their print jobs will be printed on the Admin printer.
b. Redirect the logical printer to the Admin printer. Tell the user to resend her print job to the queue. Notify all of the users of the Accounts printer that their print jobs will be printed on the Admin printer.
c. Redirect the logical printer to the Publish printer. Tell the user to resend her print job to the queue. Notify all of the users of the Accounts printer that their print jobs will be printed on the Publish printer.
d. Redirect the logical printer to the Publish printer. Tell the user to collect the rest of her job from the Publish printer. Notify all of the users of the Accounts printer that their print jobs will be printed on the Publish printer.
|
|
Definition
ANS: B
EXPLANATION: When you have a problem such as this, you can use redirection to send the jobs from the print queue to another printing device. However, the printing device that you send the jobs to must use the same printer driver as the original device, and any job that is partially printed must be resent. In this example, only the Admin printer is of the same type as the Accounts printer. The answer “Redirect the logical printer to the Admin printer. Tell the user to collect the rest of her job from the Admin printer. Notify all of the users of the Accounts printer that their print jobs will be printed on the Admin printer” is incorrect. The user must resend the print job that was partially printed. The answers that include redirecting the logical printer to the Publish printer are incorrect. The Publish printer is a completely different type of printer and would not use the same drivers as the original printer. (Discussion starts on page 340.)

You are the network administrator for a large real estate company. You have configured two logical printers with one physical printing device. One logical printer called RESIDENTIAL is assigned to the residential sales team. The other, called COMMERCIAL, is assigned to the commercial sales team. You assign the COMMERCIAL printer a priority of 10 and the RESIDENTIAL printer a priority of 1. There are currently seven jobs in the RESIDENTIAL print queue. What happens when a print job is sent to the COMMERCIAL print queue?
a. The currently printing job is paused, and the print job from the COMMERCIAL queue is printed.
b. The currently printing job is completed, and then the print job from the COMMERCIAL queue is printed.
c. All of the jobs in the RESIDENTIAL queue are printed, and then the job from the COMMERCIAL queue is printed as long as no other jobs are added to the RESIDENTIAL queue in the meantime.
d. All of the jobs and any additional jobs in the RESIDENTIAL queue are printed. When there are no outstanding jobs in the RESIDENTIAL queue, the job from the commercial queue is printed.
|
|
Definition
ANS: B
EXPLANATION: Jobs sent to a higher-priority logical printer (1 is the lowest, 99 the highest) take precedence over jobs in a queue for a lower-priority logical printer. However, when a job from a higher-priority queue is sent to the printer, if a job from a lower-priority queue is already printing, that job is allowed to finish before the higher-priority job is printed. The answer “The currently printing job is paused, and the print job from the COMMERCIAL queue is printed” is incorrect. The currently printing job is allowed to finish first. The answers “All of the jobs in the RESIDENTIAL queue are printed, and then the job from the COMMERCIAL queue is printed as long as no other jobs are added to the RESIDENTIAL queue in the meantime” and “All of the jobs and any additional jobs in the RESIDENTIAL queue are printed. When there are no outstanding jobs in the RESIDENTIAL queue, the job from the COMMERCIAL queue is printed” are incorrect. The COMMERCIAL queue has a higher priority, so jobs in that queue are printed before other jobs in the RESIDENTIAL queue. (Discussion starts on page 339.)

You are the network administrator for a small computer distributor. The network comprises a single Windows Server 2003 system, which is configured as a domain controller, and 17 Windows XP Professional workstations. There is a single high-performance laser printer, which is directly connected to the network. The Windows Server 2003 system acts as a print server for the device, with a single logical printer. You are due to take a week’s vacation, and although you anticipate few problems, you want to give a user with some technical expertise the ability to pause and restart the printer if a printing problem arises. You also want to allow him to manage jobs in the print queue other than his own. To give him the necessary rights, you want to make a single group assignment for the user. If possible, though, you do not want to add him to a group that grants him more rights than he needs. Which of the following predefined Active Directory groups do you add him to?
a. Print Operators
b. Administrators
c. Power Users
d. Print Managers

ANS: A
EXPLANATION: Of the groups listed, only the Administrators and Print Operators are assigned the Manage Printers permission on a Windows Server 2003 domain controller. You do not want to make the user a member of the Administrators group because he would receive more rights than he needs. Therefore, you should add him to the Print Operators group.

a. The physical printing device
b. Available disk space on the server
c. The spooler service
d. Printer drivers

EXPLANATION: When you print from the server, you are using a Windows Server 2003 printer driver. When the user prints, she is using a Windows 98 printer driver. Therefore, by printing directly from the server, you are not proving that the Windows 98 printer drivers are not corrupt. You are however, proving that the physical printing device, the spooler service, and the available disk space on the server are not the source of the problem. (Discussion starts on page 344.)

You are the network administrator for a pharmaceutical company. The network comprises 4 Windows Server 2003 systems and 205 Windows XP Professional client computers. Three of the servers are configured as domain controllers. The fourth server is configured as a member server and is the sole print server for the company. The company has five divisions: Sales, Research, Manufacturing, Distribution, and Administration.
Users in the Research department print large reports from a database system that was developed in-house. For some reason, these large print jobs often get stuck in the print queue and prevent other users in the department from printing. The developer responsible for the application, who is also based in the Research department, is looking into the problem. In the meantime, you give another person from that department the ability to delete print jobs for himself and other users in the department from the print queue, which you hope will reduce the number of calls to the support desk. However, you do not want them to be able to make any configuration changes to the printer itself. At the same time, you want to give the developer the ability to modify printer properties so he can attempt to isolate the problem with the database. Company policy dictates that group membership should be used before creating individual permissions to a resource, unless doing so grants a user more rights than he requires.

ANS: D
EXPLANATION: On a Windows Server 2003 system that is configured as a member server, the only group that is assigned the Manage Printers permission is Administrators. Making the developer a member of the Administrators group would grant him far more rights than you would want him to have just to manage the properties of a printer. Therefore, it is best to assign his user account the Manage Printers permission. To enable the user to manage print jobs in the queue, making him a member of the Print Operators group is sufficient. The answer “Make the developer a member of the Administrators group. Make the nominated user in the Research department a member of the Print Operators group” is incorrect. Making the developer a member of the Administrators group would grant him too many rights. The answer “Make the developer a member of the Print Operators group. Make the nominated user a member of the Print Managers group” is incorrect. Making the developer a member of the Print Operators group would not provide him with enough rights to modify the configuration of the printer. There is also no such group as Print Managers. The answer “Make the developer a member of the Print Managers group. Make the nominated user a member of the Document Managers group” is incorrect. Print Managers and Document Managers are not recognized built-in groups on a Windows Server 2003 system. (Discussion starts on page 335.)
