a. You are asked whether you want to revert to the pre–service pack version of the files that are affected by the hotfix.
b. The installation halts.
c. You are given the option to continue or abort the installation.
d. The hotfix is applied over the service pack.
|
|
Definition

You are creating a batch file for users so they can easily apply service packs. You configure the batch file with Update.exe using the /F switch. What happens when the user runs the batch file?
a. The update command runs and checks to see whether the user has administrative privileges. If so, the service pack installation runs. If not, the installation fails.
b. The update command runs, but the user is prompted for a user account with administrative privileges to perform the update.
c. The service pack is installed, but the installation program closes all open applications without saving data when it restarts the computer after the installation is completed.
d. The service pack is installed, but the installation program is prevented from restarting the computer after the installation is completed.
|
|
Definition
ANS: C
EXPLANATION: Running Update.exe with the /F switch causes the installation program to close all open applications without saving data when it restarts the computer after the installation is completed.
The Update.exe /F switch is not related to detecting the privileges or administrative status of the logged-on user when installing service packs.

a. Restart the synchronization service
b. Restart IIS
c. Restart the server
d. Reload the memory cache
|
|
Definition
ANS: A
EXPLANATION: If you cannot modify settings in the Set Options page of the administration Web site, the first troubleshooting step you should perform is to restart the synchronization service.
The answer “Restart IIS” is incorrect. You typically restart IIS if you are unable to connect to the administration site.
The answer “Restart the server” is incorrect. Restarting the server is typically one of the last troubleshooting steps.

You are the network administrator for a company with 275 Windows XP Professional systems. Why would you not want to use Windows Update?
a. Windows Update is supported only by server platforms, not by client operating systems such as Windows XP Professional.
b. Individually downloading software updates for each system would consume too much bandwidth.
c. Windows XP Professional requires a Windows Update license that would cost a lot for 275 computers.
d. Software updates are more easily available through the Microsoft CD-based update subscription service.
|
|
Definition
ANS: B
EXPLANATION: Windows Update requires that each system separately download updated software components. With large numbers of client systems, this can create a large amount of traffic and consume bandwidth.
The answer “Windows Update is supported only by server platforms, not by client operating systems such as Windows XP Professional” is incorrect. Windows update is fully supported by Windows XP Professional.
The answer “Windows XP Professional requires a Windows Update license that would cost a lot for 275 computers” is incorrect. Windows Update is a free service. No payment is required over and above the standard software license in order to use it.
The answer “Software updates are more easily available through the Microsoft CD-based update subscription service” is incorrect. Although Microsoft offers a CD-based subscription service for software updates, it is unlikely to be “easier” to use than downloading software updates over the Internet.

You want to use Update.exe to install a new service pack on your system, but you want to have the backup files for the update stored in a folder named newspackbackup rather than the default folder. Which of the following commands do you execute?
a. Update /D:newspackbackup
b. Update /F:newspackbackup
c. Update /D:nodefault /F:newspackbackup
d. Update /ND /D:newspackbackup
|
|
Definition
ANS: A
EXPLANATION: The /D: switch of Update.exe allows an alternative folder to be specified for the backup of files overwritten by a service pack.
The answers “Update /F:newspackbackup” and “Update /D:nodefault /F:newspackbackup” are incorrect. The /F switch for Update.exe causes the installation program to close all open applications without saving data when it restarts the computer after the installation is completed.
There is no /ND switch for the Update.exe command. (Discussion starts on page 136.)

You are the network administrator for a large clothing manufacturer in Fort Worth, Texas. The company has three departments, each of which has its own network administrator and a Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition server. In total, there are more than 400 Windows XP Professional workstations. You decide to implement a SUS server for each department to ease the deployment of software updates. You nominate one of the servers to become the parent SUS server and implement a loose parent/child topology for the SUS servers. Which of the following is true of this configuration?
a. The Administrator in each department has control over which updates are downloaded from Microsoft.
b. The Administrator in each department has control over the approval of updates.
c. Each server synchronizes its content with the Windows Update site and manages its own list of approved updates.
d. Each server synchronizes its content with the Windows Update site and administrators have control over the approval of updates.
|
|
Definition
ANS: B
EXPLANATION: In a loose parent/child topology, a parent SUS server synchronizes content from Windows Update and stores updates in a local folder. Other SUS servers in the enterprise synchronize from the parent. Unlike the strict parent/child SUS configuration, these additional SUS servers do not synchronize the list of approved updates, so the administrator of each server can approve or disapprove updates independently.
The administrator in each department has no control over which updates are downloaded from Microsoft.
Only the parent SUS server synchronizes content with the Windows Update site. (Discussion starts on page 148.)

You have recently assumed the role of network administrator for the head office of a department store chain. Last week you upgraded a number of servers from Windows 2000 Server to Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition. You are concerned about the security configuration of your server and decide to run MBSA to look for security weaknesses.
Documentation from the previous administrator shows that he performed security checks using the Hfnetchk.exe utility. He also created a script for performing security checks. How do you perform a security check using his script?
a. Use Mbsa.exe with the /hf switch.
b. Use Mbsacli.exe with the /hf switch.
c. Use Hfnetchk.exe with the MBSA switch.
d. Rewrite the script file using MBSA command options.
|
|
Definition
ANS: B
EXPLANATION: MBSA includes all the functionality of Hfnetchk.exe, including the command-line interface, which you can activate by running the Mbsacli.exe executable with the /hf switch. This enables you to continue using batch files and scripts, incorporating Hfnetchk.exe commands with a minimum of modification.
Mbsa.exe does not have an /hf switch.
Hfnetchk.exe does not have an MBSA switch.
When you use Mbsacli.exe with the /hf switch, it is not necessary to rewrite the script file. (Discussion starts on page 132.)

You are the network administrator for an insurance company in Wichita, Kansas, with 160 employees. You have three Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition servers. One server is a domain controller and is also used to host file and print, DNS, and DHCP services. The second server is also a domain controller and hosts the company’s client database. The third server hosts a database that is used by the Fraud Investigation department. The database is highly confidential and is accessed by only the seven employees in that department. Each company employee has a single workstation or laptop computer. The company uses 16 printers. You are using Per Device or Per User licensing. How many CALs do you require?
a. 3
b. 153
c. 160
d. 176
|
|
Definition
ANS: C
EXPLANATION: In Per Device or Per User licensing, each device or user that connects to a server requires a CAL, but with that license the device or user can connect to any number of servers. In this example, every user requires a CAL, so the total number of CALs needed is 160. (Discussion starts on page 152.)

You are the network administrator for a graphic design studio. You have two servers running Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition. Last week you installed a newly released service pack on the server. You are experiencing some problems with RRAS and investigate the problem on the Microsoft Web site. You find a Knowledge Base article, dated a month ago, that offers a solution to your problem by installing the service pack prior to the one you just installed. What should you do?
a. Install the older service pack, and then reapply the newer service pack.
b. Uninstall the newer service pack, reapply the older service pack, and then reapply the newer one.
c. Install the older service pack.
d. Nothing. Keep looking for more information.
|
|
Definition
ANS: D
EXPLANATION: Service packs contain all revisions that have been released as part of earlier service packs, so the most recent service pack contains all changes from previous service packs. In this scenario, you should continue to look for more information about the issue you are experiencing.
If you attempt to install an older service pack, the installation terminates and an error is displayed.
Uninstalling the newer service pack, reapplying the older service pack, and then reapplying the newer service pack essentially returns the system to its initial state. Also, to uninstall a service pack, you must have selected the Archive Files option during the initial service pack installation. If you suspect a problem with a service pack, it is better to just reinstall the same service pack. (Discussion starts on page 128.)

You are a network administrator for a publishing company. You have two Windows Server 2003 systems. Both servers are domain controllers. One server acts as a file and print server and also hosts the corporate document management system. The other server hosts the corporate accounting system and IIS. Last week you downloaded and installed a new service pack on both servers. For fault-tolerance reasons, you want to configure the second server as a DHCP server. Which of the following approaches ensures that the files related to DHCP are the latest versions?
a. Run the Netinst utility from the service pack directory to make sure you install the latest version of the files.
b. Download a new installer from the Microsoft Web site that has the latest version of the files for that service.
c. Install the DHCP service through Add Or Remove Programs.
d. Install the DHCP service through Add Or Remove Programs, and then reapply the service pack.
|
|
Definition
ANS: C
EXPLANATION: The service pack installation program copies a cabinet file containing all the updated files to the computer. This ensures that whenever you install a new operating system component, the system uses the latest version of the files from the service pack release. Therefore, installing a service in the normal way ensures that the latest version of the files related to that service is installed. No other steps or installation methods are necessary.
Netinst is not part of the service pack. (Discussion starts on page 128.)

You are the network administrator for a telemarketing call center in Indianapolis, Indiana, with 220 employees. You have two Windows Server 2003 servers. One uses Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition and hosts the corporate database application. It also acts as a file and print server and hosts DHCP and DNS server services. The other server is also a Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition system and hosts the customer service database and accounting application. The Administration and Management department has 40 users, each with a client workstation or laptop. The other users are call center operators who work in a three-shift rotation, sharing PCs. You are using Per Device or Per User licensing. How many CALs are required?
a. 40
b. 60
c. 100
d. 220
|
|
Definition
ANS: C
EXPLANATION: One CAL is required for each user or device concurrently accessing the server. Because the operators work a three-shift system, only a third of them will access the server at any one time. All users in the Administration and Management department require a CAL, bringing the total number of required CALs to 100. (Discussion starts on page 152.)

You are the network administrator for a large clothing manufacturer with its head office in Freehold, New Jersey. The company has three other offices (in Detroit, San Diego, and Lincoln, Nebraska) that are linked to one another via a T-1 leased line. Each site has a Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition system. All client computers across the organization run Windows XP Professional. You have implemented a strict parent/child topology for SUS, with the server in Freehold as the parent server. What happens when new software updates are available?
a. The updates are downloaded to the server in Freehold and then copied automatically to each server in the other offices. Administrators in each location can determine which software updates are approved.
b. The updates are downloaded to the server in Freehold and then copied automatically to each server in the other offices. Administrators in Detroit, San Diego, and Lincoln have no control over which software updates are approved.
c. The updates are downloaded directly from the Windows Update site to each server on the network, but only the updates approved by the administrator in Freehold are available to clients.
d. The updates are downloaded to each server on the network. Administrators in each location can determine which software updates are approved.
|
|
Definition
ANS: B
EXPLANATION: In a strict parent/child topology, a parent SUS server synchronizes content from the Windows Update Web site and stores the updates in a local folder. The SUS administrator then approves the updates to be deployed to clients. Other SUS servers in the enterprise synchronize from the parent and are configured to synchronize both the update files and the list of approved updates. Clients can then retrieve updates from the closest SUS server. In this topology, administrators of child SUS servers cannot approve or disapprove updates; that task is performed on the parent SUS server only. (Discussion starts on page 148.)

You are the network administrator for a large distribution company in Maine. The company has three offices that are linked to one another via a T-1 leased line. Each site has a Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition system. All client computers across the organization run Windows XP Professional. Because each office has fewer than 20 employees, Internet access to each office is provided via a DSL link.
You have been tracking and installing updates to client systems manually, but the administrative burden is too great, so you want to enable Windows Update. Your manager likes the idea but is concerned that the additional burden on the relatively slow Internet links could cause problems with accessing supplier ordering systems, which happens via the Internet. He is also concerned that users’ productivity will be affected by the installation of updates. Which automatic update option addresses his concerns?
a. Download The Updates Automatically And Notify Me When They Are Ready To Be Installed
b. Automatically Download The Updates, And Install Them On The Schedule That I Specify
c. Notify Me Before Downloading Any Updates And Notify Me Again Before Installing Them On My Computer
d. Automatically Download The Updates, And Install Them When Ready
|
|
Definition
ANS: B
EXPLANATION: When you configure the computer to download updates automatically, by selecting Automatically Download The Updates, And Install Them On The Schedule That I Specify option, the Background Intelligent Transfer Service, (BITS) service ensures that network performance is not affected by the file transfers. You can schedule download and installation of software updates for low-use hours, thereby not affecting user productivity.
The Download The Updates Automatically And Notify Me When They Are Ready To Be Installed option and the Notify Me Before Downloading Any Updates And Notify Me Again Before Installing Them On My Computer option might lead to interruptions during users’ work hours.
Automatically Download The Updates, And Install Them When Ready is not a valid option for automatic updates. (Discussion starts on page 134.)
