In
summary, groups and domains are the key to this exam; if you really
understand
these concepts in depth you can enter the exam feeling confident.
Domains
Understand
the four domain models (single, single master, multiple
master
and complete trust). Know the benefits and deficiencies of
each
and when they should be implemented.
Know
which way a trust relationship operates (if A trusts B then B's
accounts
may be used to access resources in domain A).
Understand
that trust relationships are not transitive (i.e. if A trusts B
and
B trusts C that A does not trust C automatically).
Remember
which sorts of servers can be moved between domains
and
which cannot.
Understand
that member servers do not participate in a domain in
the
same way as a domain controller.
Know
that local groups are not visible across a trust relationship, but
global
groups are visible.
Know
that global groups can be placed into local groups in a
different
domain to grant the users contained in the group access to
a
resource or privilege.
Understand
the various TCP/IP services such as DNS, DHCP,
WINS.
Know
the four routing services in Windows NT 4.0: RIP for TCP/IP,
RIP
for IPX, the SAP Relay Agent and the DHCP/BOOTP Relay
Agent.
Understand what each are used for.
Learn
when Gateway (Client) Services for NetWare are required and
when
the IPX protocol is sufficient.
Know
how to ensure that a server does not become a browse
master
(the registry entry MaintainServerList = No).
Be
able to identify a server problem through Performance Monitor
counters
(e.g. high processor and disk loads usually indicates
excessive
paging as a result of insufficient memory).
Know
the common PM counters for testing high processor, disk and
network
usage, etc. Know how to graph the total processor load in
an
SMP system.
Know
that the registry can be restored through the Emergency
Repair
Disk and that the ERD is a good first recovery attempt in a
serious
system problem where Last Known Good is not an option.
Remember
that stripe sets with parity only protect against a single
disk
failure, and know how to recover from failure.
Know
where policies are stored and how to select which policies
take
precedence in conflict between two policies.
Know
how to set up multiple print queues to one or more printers in
order
to optimise their use.
