| 70-063 MCSE W95 Brain Dump
OK, OK, I know I said I wasn't going to do this because I didn't
want to duplicate any previous posts but so far I've got a few responses
from soon to be MCP/MCSE's who are interested in what I can tell
them, so here goes....
I was planning on not studying for a few days to rest between W95
and NT
4 Server but I'm finding it difficult not get up in the middle
of the night and study.... so last night (when I promised myself
I'd go for a full 8 hours of sleep) when my brain said "Hey,
what's going on, it's midnight, get up!! It's time to study!!!"
I decided instead to do a brain dump... it's surprising what you
can remember in the middle of the night.
The following questions were on my W95 exam that I took yesterday
morning (mm/dd/97), I'll try to give the answers were I can but
I don't guarantee them.... I didn't exactly run wild on the test
but I did pass with a 799. Hope this helps some.... get the transcenders
for W95 if you can, if not - study NETWORKING, USER PROFILES, and
EXCHANGE in the resource kit, know those chapters inside and out.
Oh ya, I can't forget
I owe a lot to my good friend, Phil Smith -- who is probably the
smartest guy I know. Keep the faith Phil, you're destined for a
cell phone, the beach and doing whatever you want -- it's inevitable.
As for the brain dump, here it is:
1) What protocols does DUN (dial up networking ) support?
TCP/IP, IPX/SPX and NetBeui
2) Two different questions on using long filenames on a Novell Server
Don't remember the exact answer but you'll find it if you look
for "Use OS2 namespace"
3) A user running win95 dial up client with NetB dials into a RAS.
NT server running NetB and TCP/IP. user wants to be able to access
a UNIX server via the NT server via TCP/IP, is this possible?
Not sure if this was right but I went with server needs to run
TCP/IP over NetBIOS
4) Where does win32 apps reside in memory?
4mb - 2gb = win32 apps
5) Setup fails during during hardware detection, what file can you
look at?
DETLOG.TXT
6) Where are user profiles stored on a Novell server?
In the users mail subdir. on the server
7) What do you need in order to change a registry key?
The key, the name and the value
8) Can't remember the exact question but there was one on user vs.
share level
9) Can't remember the exact question but had something to do with
where point and print info is stored on a Novell Server
10) Jim and Sue share a PC that uses profiles. Both use Exchange
to access Compuserve. Sue can and Jim can't. Why not?
Because Jim does not have Compuserve as a mail service in his Exchange
profile.
11) You are running a DOS app, 16 bit app and 32 bit app. You open
a second DOS app and it crashes, what apps can you save your info
from?
All of the apps except the one that crashed
12) You have a Win95 desktop with a local laser printer on LPT1.
You have access to a postscript printer on an NT server on the network.
you run a MS DOS app in a window and configure it for the post script
printer. You print a 2 page document from the DOS app and 20 pages
print from the local printer. What do you do?
Capture the post script printer to LPT2
13) Where can you change your computer name in the network neighborhood?
In the identification tab under properties on network neighborhood
14) You have 2 departments, SALES and ACCOUNTING. Both run Win 3.1
and need to be upgraded. Sales runs 16 bit and 32 bit apps as well
as DOS apps. ACCOUNTING runs 16 bit and 32 bit apps and need effective
security. What O/S would you recommend?
SALES = Win95
ACCOUNTING = WinNT (any time MS says good, effective, great, super
security, it's NT)
15) What file do you run to speed up your hard disk?
defrag.exe
16) You are trying to save a file locally called "THIS IS MY
FILE", it's 300 k. Windows Explorer reports 110mb free of HDD
space, there are 314 files in the root directory, why can't you
save the file?
LFN's take up extra space so the 512 limit for the root dir has
already been reached.
17) You are running a DOS app in a window, the app is not TAPI aware.
You want to send a fax to a shared fax modem?
Can't remember all of the answers but the correct one is. It CANT
be done.
18) Linda goes to a foreign country and attempts to dial into the
office using remote access. The modem tried to dial but she gets
an error message that no dial tone could be detected. Why?
Set the modem to wait for dial tone before dialing
19) Jim and Sue both edit a shared document on the network. They
both edit the doc in their briefcase. Jim does not select "update"
but Sue does. What file gets updated?
The shared file on the network
20) Why does Windows 95 print faster than Windows 3.1?
Because of EMF spooling
21) You have two devices conflicting with each other, where can
you look to try and determine where the problem is?
Device Manager
22) You have 100 users running Windows 95. They are running MS file/print
sharing for Netware and for MS networks. They access netware shared
resources. MS client for Netware is loaded at the workstations.
The network has Novell servers and NT servers. What type of user
access/server should be used (wording may not be exactly the same)
User level security with Novell validating
23) You access the internet via and ISP. You have no problem entering
in IP addresses to get to sites. But when you try to enter a domain
name, you are not successful. Why is this?
The DNS server IP address is incorrect
24) One question was about W95 resources vs Win 3.1 resources
W95 has unlimited resources
25) Question about pre-emptive multitasking and how W95 works with
it
26) What is thunking?
The process that is undertaken when a 16bit app makes a call to
a 32 bit app
27) What runs in ring 0?
The core OS
28) What memory model do 32 bit apps fall under?
Flat
29) One question asked about how to despool print jobs from W95
connected to a Novell server
MSPSRV.EXE
30) How do you obtain DUN (dial up networking) server
By installing MS Plus!
31) What can you use if WINS is not available?
LMHOSTS
32) One question asked "Which system out of the following 4
would need to be upgraded to run W95"
The only one listed with an EGA display
33) What are the advantages of NDIS 3.1 support?
Plug and Play can be loaded dynamically
34) One question about MS-DOS app. running in MS-DOS mode displays
out of memory error. What can cause this?
Can't remember the correct answer
35) One question about process/threads "Which of the following
statements are true concerning processes and threads"
Each process contains at least one thread
36) No questions on the setup.exe or win.com switches but there
was one on "How do you setup W95 to install from the server"
NETSETUP.EXE
Know the log files, remember that anything with an extension of
LOG is a binary log file that can't be read. So don't chose that
one, it will be a TXT file and you can usually find the right answer
based on the question (ie...Boot questions = BOOTLOG.TXT, setup
stalls BEFORE hardware detection = SETUPLOG.TXT, setup stalls DURING
hardware detection DETLOG.TXT"
There was a question about how to recover from setup problems and
3 out of the 4 possible answers had some kind of statement about
"deleting" certain files. You NEVER delete any files in
the middle of setup because W95 will use them to pass the point
where it had problems on the second, third, etc go around. The correct
answer was the only one that didn't mention anything about deleting
files.
Well, that's about it.... good luck on the W95 exams... remember,
think POSITIVE!! Don't put it off, as Nike says "Just DO IT"
Now, here are my two colorful disclaimers:
1) DON'T rely solely on a brain dump to study from. It's conceivable
that you may not get one of the same questions I listed or you may
get them all, the exams are pulled from a pool of questions.
2) Microsoft's official take on spreading the work about what you
remember is "NO PROBLEM". It's not like I copied down
questions and answers directly from the testing site. The pool of
questions is so big, it's possible that person A will get an entirely
different test than person B.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me.
You can rest assured that I WILL be up between Midnight and 2 or
3 EST every night between now and August 4th studying for the next
test, as well as the weekends (guess I should get a social life)
-- my current plans are to use the discussion groups I've found
(especially this one), run through the "important" chapters
in the resource kit, hit the Transcenders pretty hard and run through
either Sybex's book or Mark Menasi's book, I hear both of them are
excellent. I've also been working with NT 4 server at my day job
and may also pull some articles out of Technet. I plan on putting
NT server on a PC at home too. Pass or not on the NT 4 server, I
plan putting doing another brain dump.
PS - as a side note, if you can study listening to Enya, Enigma,
Kitaro, Yanni, Clannad or something you consider soothing and relaxing,
comprehending what your reading will probably come a little easier....
uh, I dont' think there are any test questions relating to that.....
at least not in the computer biz......
