Tomorrow is the release of Win7!! We’re in the final countdown (the song is racing through my brain)! So, you’re probably wondering where I’ve been... I’m not ignoring you, and I didn’t forget. I’m shaking things up a bit to give readers in other time zones a chance to play. Hint: Tomorrow’s post will be in the morning in Seattle, WA.
Now, on with our battle for the respect and admiration of your peers in the MCP community and for one lucky person, a free exam. Today, Exam 073: Implementing and Supporting Microsoft® Windows NT® Workstation 4.0. Brought to you by request from one of our community members. As I’ve said before, your wish is my command.
------
Question #1 (I couldn’t resist; I’ve never seen an item like this on any of our exams):
Your network has 15 workstations and one Windows NT Server computer that is configured as a primary domain controller (PDC). Five of the workstations run Windows NT Workstation and 10 of them run Microsoft Windows 95.
You plan to install a new Intel-based computer on your network. It will be used by DavidP, the company president, and it will be used by other employees when he is not using it. You need to plan for security and to choose an operating system for the new computer.
Required result:
Allow DavidP to secure the files and directories on the new computer so that other users can access only the files and directories to which DavidP has assigned rights for those users.
Optional desired results:
Allow users other than DavidP to manage security on only files and directories they have created.
Allow DavidP to control access to the new computer’s files, directories, and shares by using user accounts and group accounts from the domain.
Proposed solution:
Install Windows NT Workstation on the new computer, and configure it to be in a workgroup named EXEC.
Configure the new computer to use NTFS.
Rename the Administrator account as DavidP.
Remove all users and groups other than DavidP from the Administrators local group on the new computer.
Which results does the proposed solution produce?
A. The proposed solution produces the required result and produces both of the optional desired results.
B. The proposed solution produces the required result and produces only one of the optional desired results.
C. The proposed solution produces the required result but does not produce either of the optional desired results.
D. The proposed solution does not produce the required result.
Question #2 (A NetWare question for your viewing pleasure): You are configuring Bruce’s Windows NT Workstation computer. You want to allow Bruce to access files on a NetWare 3.12 server named Accounting. Bruce has an account named BruceO on the NetWare server, and he has an account named BruceO on his Windows NT Workstation computer.
How should you configure Client Service for NetWare to allow Bruce to access files on the NetWare server from his Windows NT Workstation computer?
A. with a preferred server named Accounting
B. with a preferred server named BruceO.Accounting
C. with a tree named Accounting and a default context of BruceO
D. with a tree named NetWare and a default context of Accounting

Does anyone remember taking this exam? I’m very curious to know what you think of the “preferred solution” question type, like #1 above. Should we bring these back?
