    If your server needs complete fault tolerance for authentication on the network, which of the following would you consider?

    • A.

      Disk mirroring

    • B.

      Disk duplexing

    • C.

      Server mirroring

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    C. Server mirroring
    Explanation
    Disk mirroring and disk duplexing will help retain the data of the last transaction when the server crashes, but cannot help with maintaining total network availability. It will require some downtime for the server to be brought up again. Server mirroring will help by keeping the users transparent to server crash by taking over the authentication process automatically.

    • D.

      Provide driver redundancy

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Teaming
    B. Load Balancing
    Explanation
    As evident AltVLAN is used for NAFT (Network Adapter Fault Tolerance). When using redundancy for fault tolerance it is very critical to ensure that there is a good co-ordination between the live interface and the backup to ensure automatic take over of the back up during failures. Along with this redundancy also helps in situation when the live interface is active but is handling more load of network traffic than it can handle. This is done through load balancing. The AltVLAN protocol helps in this team up and load balancing.

    When should you use DNS instead of WINS to resolve a computer name into an IP address?

    • A.

      When there is no LMHOSTS file

    • B.

      When there is no HOSTS file

    • C.

      When the name being requested has a period (.) in it

    • D.

      When the name being requested has a backslash (\) in it

    Correct Answer
    C. When the name being requested has a period (.) in it
    Explanation
    An LMHOSTS file is used when a name server is not available to resolve NetBIOS names. A HOSTS file is used when a name server is not available to resolve fully-qualified domain names (FQDNs). DNS names use periods to separate domain and sub-domain names. NetBIOS names include backslashes, and are serviced by WINS, not DNS.

  • 10. 

    When using Server mirroring on the network, if one of the hard disks of the Primary Server crashes, which of the following would occur?

    • A.

      The Secondary takes complete control over the network

    • B.

      Only the disk I/O operations will be performed on the Secondary server instead of the Primary Server

    • C.

      Since it is only one of the disks that has failed, no change will occur

    • D.

      Assuming the server is using RAID, the failed hard disk will be eliminated form I/O operations

    Correct Answer
    B. Only the disk I/O operations will be performed on the Secondary server instead of the Primary Server
    Explanation
    Unless the disk housing the OS on the Primary Server fails the Secondary server will not take over. The two servers� internal bus is connected, hence, if the disk drive fails only the I/O operations, only that task will be transferred to the Secondary server.

      Once in every minute

    • B.

      Once in every 15 minutes

    • C.

      Once in a day

    • D.

      Once in a week

    Correct Answer
    B. Once in every 15 minutes
    Explanation
    You must collect processor, memory, logical disk, and network related information every 15 minutes for at least three working days. Once in a minute is too high a frequency. Once in a day or once in a week will not provide adequate information for performance analysis

    You just upgraded memory on the server and now the POST routine just hangs after generating error beeps. What could the problem be?

    • A.

      The memory may not be compatible

    • B.

      The memory modules may not be seated correctly

    • C.

      The memory upgraded is insufficient

    • D.

      The beeps generated are not error codes at all

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. The memory may not be compatible
    B. The memory modules may not be seated correctly
    Explanation
    The POST can generate errors either if memory modules are faulty or if they were not correctly seated. In either case, It is because the routine is unable to test for the memory availability. It is not possible that memory is insufficient as you have just upgraded an already existent and sufficient memory. It is not possible that the beeps are not error codes as the POST routine has hung in mid process

    Which of the following would be an ideal backup solution for a mid-sized network, keeping in mind that you not only need complete data backed up but also would require minimum restore time?

    • A.

      Perform daily full backups

    • B.

      Perform an incremental backup every Monday through Sunday

    • C.

      Perform a full backup every Monday and a differential backup Tuesday through Sunday

    • D.

      Perform a full backup every Monday and an incremental backup Tuesday through Sunday

    Correct Answer
    C. Perform a full backup every Monday and a differential backup Tuesday through Sunday
    Explanation
    At least one full backup at the beginning of the week would provide fault tolerance required. Using differential backup on the rest of the days would considerably reduce the restore time as required

    You are configuring RAID on your server. You are aware that a single drive failure may go unnoticed and would want to avoid the same. How would you achieve this?

    • A.

      Write a PERL script that can alert you on this condition

    • B.

      Set relevant alerts on the drives� configuration files

    • C.

      Use advanced state-of-art devices

    • D.

      Enable remote notification in the event of drive failure

    Correct Answer
    D. Enable remote notification in the event of drive failure
    Explanation
    Although, choice A is relevant it is too advanced for an average system administrator to handle. Using stat-of-art devices will not help unless the relevant alerts are set in relevant places. Configuration files are incapable of generating alerts. Enabling remote notification of any device failure on the server would be an ideal choice. In this case you may specifically set it for the RAID storage device

    The backup device that was attached to your server, had been giving intermittent problems. You just had it serviced and reconnected it to the server. The problem still exists. What do you need to replace now?

    • A.

      The tapes

    • B.

      The server

    • C.

      The hard disk being backed

    • D.

      The controller of the tape drive

    Correct Answer
    A. The tapes
    Explanation
    The server replacement is totally irrelevant. The tape drive is usually connected to the same drive controller as the hard disk. Since the hard disk does not have any problem. It is unnecessary to replace either the drive or the controller. Having the tapes replaced should solve the problem

    You are installing a Windows-based server. Which of the following could generate problems if unverified?

    • A.

      SCSI drivers

    • B.

      NIC drivers

      Display drivers

    • D.

      Any driver that is unverified by Microsoft

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. SCSI drivers
    B. NIC drivers
    Explanation
    If you are using an unknown SCI driver, the installation may not complete at all. If you are using an unknown NIC driver, your server may not communicate on the network at all. Display drivers can be managed if you alternate the existing unverified drivers with generic drivers. If at all you are using any drivers that are unsigned digitally by Microsoft, you will be prompted for the same, but the installation will resume
