Where Do I Take an Exam?

When you contact Prometric or Pearson VUE, ask the customer service representative for a list of locations near you. You
can also find testing locations on the Web at http://www.prometric.com for Prometric, or at http://www.vue.com/ for Pearson
VUE.

What Do I Take With Me to the Exam?

You will need two forms of identification, one with a picture. For example, you could use a driver's license and a credit card.
Be sure to arrive on time. Prometric recommends that you come 20 minutes early. You will be given a pen and scratch paper
to use during the exam. Notes or other reference materials are not allowed inside the testing center.

Back to top

What Specific Information Do I Need to Know to Pass the Exam?

People often ask, "What's on the exam?" This course and its posttest help you understand the concepts and tasks
necessary to do your job. However, we highly recommend that you use the TestOut Exam Simulation in order to prepare for
the certification exam.

While it does not include the exact questions, our TestOut Exam Simulation software can give you a good idea of the types
of questions you will see on each certification exam. The test objectives for an exam are listed on the Report screen of the
TestOut Exam Simulation software. These objectives outline the skills being measured by an exam. You must understand
the material relating to each objective. The TestOut Exam Simulation software is designed to test your knowledge in these
areas, and to focus your studies for the exam.

What's an Adaptive Test?

Some exams you might take will be in an adaptive format. An adaptive test begins by giving you an easy-to-moderate
question. If you answer the question correctly, it gives you a more difficult question. With each correct answer, the difficulty
of the questions increases. On the other hand, if you answer the second question incorrectly, the next questions will be
easier. The test changes the question difficulty until it determines your skill level.

There are two primary characteristics you will notice as you take an adaptive exam.

You cannot skip questions or review previously answered questions. This means you need to take a little more time to
answer each question carefully before going on to the next question. (Adaptive exams display a warning screen at the
beginning of the exam stating that you will not be allowed to review previous questions.)
The tests are typically shorter than the traditional exams. (The current adaptive exams range between 15 and 35
questions.)

The TestOut Exam Simulation is not an adaptive test. However, because the content of the objectives for an exam are more
comprehensive than any single adaptive test, the Exam Simulation is still the best way to prepare for taking the certification
exam. Adaptive tests are too short to give you a thorough review and the chance to practice taking the test. You need to
understand all of the questions before you take the actual test.

Exam FAQs

How Does the Exam Work?

Certification exams are all computer based. After entering your testing ID and selecting the test you want to take, you will
have the chance to view a tutorial on the exam software. Time spent reviewing the tutorial does not count towards the time
you have to take the exam.

After starting an adaptive exam, you cannot go back to exam questions that you skipped, so answer each question. Some
tests may be available in both adaptive and traditional versions.

Back to top

What Types of Questions Will I Be Asked?

Exam question types depend on the organization that publishes the exam. Common exam question types include the
following:

Multiple-choice, single-select (one correct answer)
Multiple-choice, multiple-select (several correct answers)
Fill-in-the-blank
Case-study questions (read a case study and answer questions)
Hot-spot question (click the correct place on a graphic)
Simulation (perform the task)
Select-and-place question (drag elements to place them)

Case-study questions present a detailed case study, then ask you to design, configure, or answer questions based on that
information. They include a tree view, as well as questions that ask you to select and connect elements, or place elements in
the correct order.

Hot-spot questions require you to examine one or more graphics or exhibits and click the graphic to indicate your response.

The majority of questions will be multiple-choice questions. If more than one answer is required for a single question, you will
be told either to select a number of answers or to select all that apply. Occasionally, you will be asked to click a specific area
of a graphic to indicate your answer.

A scenario question presents a scenario problem, requirements, and a solution, then asks you to determine and indicate
which requirements the solution fulfills.

Simulation questions require you to perform actual configuration tasks in a simulated interface. Be sure to stop and restart
IIS services when you configure them.

Select-and-place questions ask you to drag elements to their appropriate places on a graphic or table.

Our TestOut Exam Simulation software is designed to give you a feel for the actual exam interface.

How Many Questions Are on an Exam and How Long Do I Have to Complete It?

The number of questions on the exam and the time limit depend on which test you are taking, and which format it is in. For
up to date information, check the vendor Web site for the exam you want to take.

A traditional, nonadaptive certification exam contains about 50-65 questions and allows you 90 minutes to complete
the exam.
A short-form traditional certification exam contains about 30 questions, and allows you 60 minutes to complete the
exam.
An adaptive exam contains between 15-35 questions, and has varying time limits.
A case study exam contains about four case studies with about 10 questions each. You usually have between three
and four hours to complete the exam.

Exam FAQs

How Soon After I Take the Exam Will I Know Whether I've Passed It?

As soon as you have answered all of the questions, select Finish Test to end the test. The testing program provides
immediate feedback (it just feels like a thousand years) and automatically prints a report showing the required passing score
and your score on the exam. Before leaving the testing center, be sure to pick up your exam report and have it validated by
a Prometric or Pearson VUE representative. You should keep this report in case there are any discrepancies in your
certification program.

Back to top

I Didn't Pass the Exam. What Do I Do Now? Can I Retake the Exam?

If you do not pass an exam the first time you take it, you may retake it at any time. Individual certifications might have
varying rules about how quickly you can retake the exam. You need to pay for each exam that you take or retake.

Exam-taking Hints and Tips

Follow these hints to make your exam experience less stressful and more successful.

Before the Exam

Print out the review module included in the course materials, or prepare a short review sheet for the exam. It should
contain reference tables and information that you have trouble remembering. Shortly before you start the exam, study
your notes for a last-minute review. Your notes should include specific details, such as subnet charts for TCP/IP or
predefined groups in Windows 2000. You can also print out the text from the review module of this course for a longer
summary of the items covered on the exam.
Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early, and relax for a few minutes before the exam. Take a deep breath. Look at the review
sheet one last time. You will make fewer mistakes if you are not tense and rushed.
Before the actual exam begins, you will have the option to take an orientation exam to familiarize yourself with the
actual exam program. Take the orientation before you take your first exam. The time you spend on the orientation
exam does not count toward the actual test time. If you have any questions, ask the exam administrator before the
exam begins. The exams are timed, so don't use any of your test time asking questions that you could have asked
earlier.

During the Exam

When answering a question you are not sure of, eliminate the obviously incorrect answers first. Eliminating the
obvious makes it easier for you to try to select the correct answer, and increases your chances of selecting the
correct answer if you have to guess.
If you simply don't know, guess! Be sure you answer all the questions before you finish. Unanswered questions are
wrong and scored as incorrect answers. If you are unsure of an answer, make an educated guess. There is no extra
penalty for incorrect answers.
If you have time, review your answers before going on to the next question. A word of caution: be absolutely sure
before you change an answer! If you are positive that your answer is wrong, change it. But if you are not sure and
cannot explain to yourself why you need to change an answer, leave it. Most of the time, your first instinct is correct.

Note: Remember, with an adaptive test, you cannot skip questions or go back to review previous questions. This means you
will need to take the time to thoroughly read and understand each question. However, adaptive tests are also shorter, so you
do not have to worry as much about running out of time.

Use Your Scratch Paper

You will be given scratch paper and a pen to use during the exam. Some testing centers provide paper and a pencil.
Some provide laminated paper and an erasable marker.
Right after you start the exam, write down anything that could be a useful reference during the exam. This is the time
to remember what you studied on your review sheet. The information on the review sheet should be fresh in your
mind because you just did a quick review. Write lists, reference tables, and any other vital information on the paper.
(Don't spend a lot of time here--just a minute or two writing down reference material.) The list of information will save
you time as you answer the questions.
Use the paper to draw out permissions, domain diagrams, subnet masks, and so forth. A question may be easier to
answer after you see a diagram.

Case Studies

Case studies are more complex than scenario questions. With case studies, you are given a large case study and about 10
questions to answer regarding the case study. You can refer to the case study while answering questions. To help
familiarize you with this type of question, applicable TestOut exams contain questions that follow this format. Here are some
other tips to keep in mind.

Create an optimal test-taking environment. Flickering monitors, noise, and interruptions can cause you to lose
concentration. Explain the nature of the test to the testing personnel and ask to be placed in the best seat possible.
Be sure to use the restroom and eat before the exam. Case study exams may take nearly four hours.
Pace yourself. Although there are only forty questions, you will probably need the entire testing time to consult the
scenarios and decide your answers.
Understand the way the question count works. On a 40 question exam, the question count says Question 1 of 48 and
so forth. Understand that each Instructions and Case screen counts in the question total.
Look first for exhibits. Before wasting time trying to diagram what a case is trying to describe, look for an exhibit.
There is not always an exhibit, but if there is one, you can save a lot of time.


Be conservative on your note taking. You could take a lot of unnecessary notes and waste a lot of time while reading
a scenario. It might be better to read the scenario through, get oriented regarding where certain types of information is
located, and consult the specific parts of the scenario and take more detailed notes as required to answer specific
questions. That said, you should still ask for extra paper and pencils because you may need to take many notes.
Consider the pros and cons of reading the questions first. Reading the questions first can give you an idea of what to
look for as you read the scenarios. However, depending on the computer being used, it might take up to 6 seconds
per click just to move from one question to another. Clicking Next, then Back, then Next through every question can
take a fair amount of time. Also, it might be a better strategy to get an overview of the scenario. Then consult specific
parts of the scenario in more detail as you read and answer each question.
Consider the pros and cons of using the All tab. The All tab lists the content of all the other tabs and radio buttons in a
single scrollable document. While it might be convenient to read everything in one place, it also might be harder to
orient yourself to the structure of the scenario and relocate information when you need it. Consider becoming familiar
with the other tabs and radio buttons so you can more quickly find information you are looking for (and decrease the
use of the scroll bar).
Don't worry if the scenario lacks all the details, and in fact be grateful for it. For example, if a scenario mentions that
an organization has 20 buildings but only mentions subnet IDs for three of them, it is just that much useless
information you need to wade through to come up with an answer for a question. In fact, it may indicate a clue
regarding what to focus on.
Be tolerant with ambiguity. Sometimes its hard to figure out what Microsoft is talking about. Try to tolerate the
ambiguity and give it your best guess rather than spending a lot of time trying to reason through what does not seem
reasonable. That said, if there is something you need to reason through, spend the time to get it right.

Exam Retakes

If you do not pass the exam, use the score report on your transcript to identify areas needing further study.
As soon as possible, think carefully about the exam and make notes about the questions that you couldn't answer.
Look up the correct answers in your study materials. You may get the same or similar questions the next time.
Don't wait too long to retake the exam. You already know much of the material, and you may forget what you know if
you wait too long.

Installing
Windows XP
Professional


You are the desktop administrator for your company. You are getting ready to install Windows XP Professional on
a new computer.

You previously copied the Windows XP source files to a folder on Server1 and shared the folder using XPPro as a
share name. You boot the computer with a Windows 98 boot floppy.

You want to begin the Windows XP installation program. What should you do?

j
k
l
m
n Run //Server1/XPPro/Setup.exe.
j
k
l
m
n Run //Server1/XPPro/Winnt32.exe.
j
k
l
m
n Run //Server1/XPPro/Setup32.exe.
i
j
k
l
m
n Run //Server1/XPPro/Winnt.exe.

Explanation:

To start a Windows XP installation, run either Winnt.exe or Winnt32.exe. If you are booted to a 32-bit Windows environment
such as Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4 (or NT 3.5), 2000, or XP, run Winnt32.exe. If you are booted to a 16-bit environment,
such as MS-DOS or Windows 3.x, run Winnt.exe.

Note: Booting with a Windows 95/98 boot floppy boots you to a 16-bit, command-line DOS environment. You need to use
Winnt.exe to start the installation.

Objective(s):

101. Perform and troubleshoot an attended installation of Windows XP Professional.

Reference(s):

TestOut for Windows XP Administration, Section 10.2

[101 #186]

You are the desktop administrator for your company. You are preparing to install Windows XP Professional on a
computer. The computer is a 266 MHz computer with a single 6 GB drive with three partitions. Both the D: and the
E: drives have 1.5 GB of free space.

You consult the Windows XP HCL and discover that the computer's CD-ROM drive is not supported under
Windows XP. The computer is currently running Windows 95, which supports the CD-ROM drive.

You want to install Windows XP on this computer from the source files on the Windows XP installation CD. What
should you do?

i
j
k
l
m
n Boot the computer to Windows 95 and run Winnt32 /makelocalsource.
Boot to Windows 95 and copy all the files to the hard drive. Then run Winnt32 /m:folder_name, where
j
k
l
m
n folder_name is the location of the installation files.

j
k
l
m
n Boot to Windows 95 and copy all the files to the hard drive. Then run Winnt.
j
k
l
m
n Boot the computer with a Windows 95 boot disk and run Winnt /b.

Explanation:

Winnt32 uses switches to control the installation process. The /makelocalsource switch makes Setup copy the installation
files to the local hard drive. Thus, the installation is run off the local hard drive, and you don't need access to the


unsupported CD-ROM drive.

[101 #194]

You are the network administrator for your company. To simplify administration, you have created a shared folder
that holds the Windows XP Professional installation files. Administrators use this folder to install new workstations.

You receive a new service pack, and you want to modify the installation folder to include the service pack. What
should you do?

Create a new share for the service pack. Instruct administrators to install Windows XP as usual, then run
j
k
l
m
n Update.exe to apply the service pack.

j
k
l
m
n From the service pack, copy Layout.inf, Dosnet.inf and Txtsetup.sif to each distribution share.
i
j
k
l
m
n Run the Update.exe -s command in the service pack, specifying the path to the network share.
Run Package.exe from the service pack to create new installation files. Replace all files in the share with
j
k
l
m
n those generated by this utility.

j
k
l
m
n From the service pack, copy Driver.cab, Layout.inf, Dosnet.inf and Txtsetup.sif to the distribution share.
Copy all files in the service pack to the network share. Run Update.exe to install both Windows XP and the
j
k
l
m
n service pack at the same time.

Explanation:

To apply a new service pack to a distribution folder, use the Update.exe -s:[distribution_folder] switch. This applies the
service pack changes to the installation files in the folder, updating all files to the latest files. Administrators can then install
Windows XP as usual to get the latest copy.

You are the desktop administrator for your company. You are installing Windows XP Professional on a Pentium II
computer. The computer has two hard drives, each of which contains a single 8 GB FAT32 partition. Windows 98
is installed on the first drive.

You want to use both Windows 98 and Windows XP. You also want the existing directories and data to remain on
the first drive.

What should you do to minimize the amount of effort while achieving the desired results?


Back up the data on the first drive. Reformat the partition on the first drive with NTFS. Install Windows XP
j
k
l
m
n and restore the data and directories.

i
j
k
l
m
n Install a new Windows XP installation on the second drive.
j
k
l
m
n Install a Windows XP upgrade installation on the first drive.
j
k
l
m
n Delete the partition on the first drive. Then create a new partition and install Windows XP.

Explanation:

For this scenario, install Windows XP on the second drive. The installation program will not remove the existing data
directories and files on the first drive, and you will be able to boot to both Windows 98 and Windows XP.

If you upgrade from Windows 98 to Windows XP, Windows 98 will no longer exist. Deleting the existing partition without
backing up the data would result in a data loss. Backing up the data, reformatting the partition, and installing Windows XP
would also remove Windows 98.

You are the desktop administrator for your company. Your company has recently decided to upgrade ten Windows
2000 Professional computers to Windows XP Professional.

You create a network share called XPpro on Server1 with the Windows XP installation files. You want to make
sure that the most recent device drivers are used during the installation. You download the dynamic update file
and extract it to the Updates share on Server1.

You want to install Windows XP from the network and use the most updated drivers from the network share. What
should you do? (Choose two. Each correct choice is part of the correct solution.)

Explanation:

Use the /duprepare and /dushare switches with the Winnt32 command to perform an installation of Windows XP
Professional from a network share using dynamic updates downloaded from Microsoft. For example, if Tiffany had
downloaded the dynamic updates and extracted them to the Server1Updates share, she would do the following to install
Windows XP:

1. Run Server1XPprowinnt32 /duprepare:Server1Updates to ready the files for use.
2. Run Server1XPprowinnt32 /dushare:Server1Updates to start the installation with the downloaded update files.


The /dudisable switch prevents the dynamic update from occurring. The Update.exe command and the -s switch are not
required because you are not slipstreaming a service pack. You also do not need to specify a source for the installation files
when running Winnt32 from the Server1XPpro share (that would use the /s switch).

Note: The Windows XP Dynamic Update package only works if you are running an upgrade that is initiated by Winnt32.exe.
It does not work with Winnt.exe, booting off of the CD-ROM, booting off of the floppy disks, RIS installations, and
Winnt32.exe installations that are started from within WINPE.

You are the workstation administrator for your company. You have been asked to upgrade to Windows XP
Professional on 30 department computers that are currently running Windows 2000 Professional.

You copy the contents of the i386 folder from a Windows XP Professional CD-ROM to the //Server7/XPImage
network share. You start the installation on the first system and notice that there is a long pause as the computer
tries to perform dynamic updates over the Internet connection. You contact the router administrator who says the
Internet connection will be down all day.

You want to continue to upgrade to Windows XP, but prevent the install from trying to download any updates
during the install. What should you do?

You are the desktop administrator for a small branch office. The branch office uses a shared 56k dialup
connection on Server2 to connect to the Internet You have been asked to upgrade 20 computers running


connection on Server2 to connect to the Internet. You have been asked to upgrade 20 computers running
Windows 98 to Windows XP Professional.

You check the HCL and find that the network card on each of the computers requires an updated driver for
Windows XP that is not included on the Windows XP CD-ROM, but it is included as a dynamic update. The
C:/XPInstall folder is shared on Server2 using the share name XPInstall. The C:/Updates folder is shared on
Server2 using the share name Updates. You copy the i386 directory from the Windows XP installation CD-ROM to
the XPInstall share on Server2. Next, you download the XP updates and extract them to the Updates shared
folder on Server2.

You want to install Windows XP on each computer while keeping Internet usage to a minimum and using the
updated driver for the network card. What should you do? (Choose two. Each correct choice is part of the

Explanation:

To complete the installation, you will need to perform two tasks:

1. Prepare the updates for use during installation. Run Winnt32.exe from the XPInstall directory with the /duprepare
switch pointing to the Updates folder. You will only need to run this once to prepare the folder on the server.
2. On each computer, install Windows XP using the updated files. Run Winnt32.exe from the XPInstall directory with
the /dushare switch pointing to the Updates share. The installation files will use the updated files in the Updates share
when necessary.

Be sure to run Winnt32.exe each time from the XPInstall share (not the Updates share). Running Server2
XPInstallwinnt32.exe /duprepare:Server2Updates from each Windows 98 computer would prepare the updates 20
different times, whereas a single preparation is required (in addition, because of a bug this update procedure will not work
when run from a Windows 98 system). Running C:XPInstallwinnt32.exe /dushare:Server2Updates on the server would
attempt to install Windows XP on the server.

You are the desktop administrator for your company. You are installing Windows XP Professional on a Pentium II
computer. The computer has two hard drives, each of which contains a single 8 GB FAT32 partition. Windows 95
is installed on the first drive. All user data is stored on the second drive.

You want to use Windows XP rather than Windows 95 from now on. When you are finished, you want Windows
XP rather than Windows 95 on the first drive. You also want the existing user data on the second drive to be
accessible.

Explanation:

For this scenario, install Windows XP on the existing partition. The installation program will not remove the existing data
directories and files. (Keep in mind that it is always a good idea to back up the computer before performing major operations
such as this, although backing up is not a requirement in this scenario.)

You cannot upgrade from Windows 95 to Windows XP. Deleting the existing partition without backing up the data would
result in a data loss. Backing up the data, reformatting the partition, and installing Windows XP would provide the desired
results. However, reformatting the drive and restoring the data is unnecessary. If user data were stored on the first drive, this
would be the desired action because data stored in a user profile folder can be overwritten when installing Windows XP to
an existing Windows folder. The existing Windows folder is removed before the new Windows XP installation takes place
(you should be warned of this before the Windows XP installation begins.)

computer that has the following hardware:

PCI video adapter
PCI network adapter
24-bit sound card
ISA SCSI adapter and one internal SCSI hard disk
CD-ROM drive
Floppy drive

You boot to the Windows XP Professional CD-ROM and begin the installation. During the installation, you receive
an error message indicating that Setup cannot locate a hard drive. You verify that the SCSI hard drive is in
working condition and is supported under Windows XP. You also verify SCSI IDs and terminations. You then
restart the installation, but receive the same error message.

n Modify the system BIOS to allow the computer to boot from the SCSI hard drive.

Explanation:

You need to supply the appropriate SCSI adapter driver from a floppy disk and restart the installation of Windows XP. Most
likely the driver for the SCSI adapter is not accessible to Windows XP Professional, which is preventing XP from locating the
hard drive attached to the SCSI adapter. During the text-mode portion of the XP installation you will see an informational
message at the bottom that says to press F6 if you need to install a third-party SCSI or RAID driver.

Replacing the SCSI adapter reduces the overall functionality and configuration options of your computer, and would be
costly to do on all machines. The new computer should already be configured to boot from the hard drive, and the IRQ for
the SCSI adapter should also be pre-set.

You can use Setup to create a partition from existing free space on the hard drive. If there isn't enough free space, you must
delete files from the installation partition. You can also delete existing partitions and create a new partition that's large

You are the desktop administrator for your company. You have been asked to install Windows XP Professional on
15 new systems that have identical hardware. Microsoft Office and the company's standard anti-virus software
also needs to be installed on each system.

You prepare a source computer with the required software and create an RIS image. After deploying the RIS
Image to the first computer, you notice that icons for Microsoft Office and the anti-virus software do not appear.
You restart the source computer and verify that the icons are present.

By default, you want the icons to appear on new computers as they do on the source computer. However, you do
not want to prevent users from deleting or moving the icons to a different location, if they so desire. What should
you do?

On the source computer, copy the local administrator account profile to the Default User profile. Recreate the

On the source computer, copy the local administrator account profile to the All Users profile. Recreate the
j
k
l
m
n RIS image.

Explanation:

To modify the RIS image, copy the local administrator account profile to the Default User profile. When you created the RIS
image, you were logged on as an administrator. When the applications were installed, icons were added to the current user
(not to the All Users profile or the Default User profile). You need to copy the icons (shortcut files) from the administrator
profile to the Default User profile so that the changes will be applied to all new users. You can do this by copying the
individual shortcut files or by copying the entire profile. If you copy the entire profile, you should log on to the computer using
a different administrative account (you should not copy to or from the profile of a currently logged on user). You should
perform the copy to the Default User profile rather than the All Users profile. Because each new user's profile is a copy of the
Default User profile, each user will be able to update his or her own profile without affecting other users. The All Users profile
applies to all users and only users with appropriate administrative privileges can update the All Users profile.

Rbfg.exe is used to create the boot disk for non-PXE compliant network adapters, and will not impact the RIS image.
Riprep.exe is used to create the image of the reference computer. If you ran it before you added the applications, the
applications would not be available to anyone. The All Users profile will not contain the custom settings that were created
during the installation of the applications.

Explanation:

An RIS installation of Windows XP requires DHCP, DNS, RIS, and Active Directory. When the PXE-compliant machine
boots up, it requests IP information, including a DNS Server address, from DHCP. If RIS is running on the DHCP server,
DHCP also provides the RIS server address. Otherwise, the RIS server responds to a subsequent client DHCP broadcast to
identify itself as a boot server. Both DHCP and RIS must therefore be authorized to respond to DHCP requests on the
network. The client then contacts the RIS server to begin the installation of Windows XP Professional. Before beginning the
installation, the RIS server contacts Active Directory (which requires a DNS lookup) and gets configuration information,
some of which determines whether the RIS server will respond to the installation request at all.

Because there is no important data on the computers, you decide to use RIS to install a clean copy of Windows

Explanation:

When PXE-compliant computers begin the installation process, they request a new IP address from the DHCP server. If
your Windows 98 computers leased IP addresses from the DHCP server for the default time of eight days, there is still some
time before those 60 IP addresses will be free. If you run out of IP addresses, you will need to increase the size of the DHCP
scope or release IP addresses on some of the computers. You do not make startup disks with Riprep. You only make
startup disks with Rbfg when your computers are non-PXE-compliant. If there is a problem with the CMOS configuration of
some computers, it is highly unlikely that the problem will manifest itself as described in the question.

While in Setup Manager, you will be asked to accept the terms of the license agreement for all unattended installations if you
choose the Fully Automated option. Using the /unattend switch with Winnt32 also affirms that you and/or the user have read
and accepted the Microsoft License Agreement for Windows XP. However, you use Winnt32 when upgrading from Windows
98/ME or NT/2000, not on a new computer.

You are the desktop administrator for your company. You are installing Windows XP Professional on several
computers throughout your company’s site.

You copy the installation files to the XPPro share on the NY-CORP-SRV1 server. You also create an answer file
named Unattend.txt and a Uniqueness Database File named Unique.udb. You copy both the answer file and
uniqueness database to the XPPro share. You boot a computer with a Windows 98 boot disk in the A: drive. You
also connect to the XPPro share. The computer will be named NY-DEV-WRK4, and appropriate entries have been
made in the Uniqueness Database File under that name.

What command should you enter to begin the installation?

Explanation:

Because you are running the setup from MS-DOS (a Windows 98 boot disk starts MS-DOS), you must use Winnt. You can
only use Winnt32 when starting the installation from inside a 32-bit operating system (Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4, 2000, or
XP). Use the /u switch to indicate that you will be using an unattended answer file. Use the /udf switch to use a Uniqueness
Database File. The computer's ID goes before the name of the Uniqueness Database File name. Use the /s switch to specify
the path to the source files.

Explanation:

A mini-setup wizard runs when a Sysprep image is booted. Sysprep.inf is an optional answer file that automates the mini-
setup wizard. It follows the same format as a typical answer file, but it must be named Sysprep.inf. Typically, you put all
these files in the Sysprep folder on the system drive (C:Sysprep in this case). You can also put the Sysprep.inf file on a
floppy disk, which can be inserted when the mini-setup wizard begins.

You are the desktop administrator for your company. You use RIS to install Windows XP Professional on client
computers.

You have been asked to install Windows XP Professional on a computer that has the following attributes:

1.2 GHz CPU
256 MB RAM
10 GB hard drive
ISA network adapter
Floppy drive
PXE-compliant = No

You want to use RIS to complete the installation. What should you do?

Explanation:

You can use RIS with clients that don't support the Net PC specification (non-PXE compliant) by creating a remote
installation boot disk. This boot disk simulates the PXE boot process. Use the Windows Remote Boot Disk Generator
(Rbfg.exe) to create the boot disk. The Rbfg.exe file is located in the RemoteInstalladmini386 folder on the Remote
Installation Server. Not all network adapters are supported, so the computer must contain one of the PCI adapters listed in
the Adapters List in the Remote Boot Disk Generator. ISA and PCMCIA adapters are not supported.

You are the desktop administrator for your company. You have just installed and configured a network RIS Server
to assist in the deployment of Windows XP Professional.

When booting the Accounting manager's new computer to begin installing Windows XP Professional, you receive
an error message indicating that an operating system is not found. You review the Windows XP Professional HCL
and verify that the PXE-compliant network card is supported by XP.

You need to complete the Windows XP installation using RIS as soon as possible. What should you do?

n Professional image.

Explanation:

There is a BIOS setting that must be enabled to permit the computer to boot from the network. This BIOS setting, in
conjunction with the PXE-compliant network card, enables the computer to contact the RIS server. The PXE-compliant
computer receives IP configuration information by contacting a DHCP server. If the RIS service is installed on the same
computer as the DHCP service, the RIS server address is also returned. Otherwise, the RIS server responds to a
subsequent DHCP broadcast by the client. If a RIS server cannot be found and an existing operating system does not exist
on the computer, a message indicating that an operating system could not be found might occur. RIS uses DNS to contact
an Active Directory server and obtain RIS configuration information. The domain-user account used to perform the
installation requires the Log on as a Batch Job user right on the RIS server.

You are the desktop administrator for your company. A software tester needs you to install Windows XP
Professional on a computer currently running Windows 95. You need to retain the Windows 95 installation and set
up a dual-boot configuration.

You examine the computer's hardware and discover that it is a Pentium II 266 MHz computer with 64 MB of RAM
and 500 MB of free space remaining on the hard disk.

You need to complete the Windows XP installation. What should you do before starting the installation?

n Run Winnt32 /checkupgradeonly.

Explanation:

Before beginning the installation, you will need additional disk space. Windows XP requires a minimum of 1.5 GB of free disk
space. Although additional memory and a faster processor are recommended, they are not required. You would not run
Winnt32 /checkupgradeonly from within Windows 95 because you will not be upgrading the operating system (Windows 95
cannot be upgraded to Windows XP directly).

You are the desktop administrator for your company. The manager of your Human Resources department has
recently acquired an application that will help manage employee benefits. The application will run only on
Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional. She is currently running Windows 98 on her computer and wants you
to upgrade her computer to Windows XP Professional.

You begin by checking the hardware of her computer and discover she has 256 MB of RAM, a Pentium 166 MHz
processor, a 4 GB drive that has 2 GB of free space, a super VGA video adapter, and an 8 speed CD-ROM.

You want to perform an unattended installation of Windows XP from the CD-ROM. What should you do to ensure
you have a successful installation?

Explanation:

The minimum processor speed for a Windows XP Professional installation is 233 MHz, with a recommended processor
speed of 300 MHz. The Windows XP installation also requires at least 1.5 GB free disk space, 64 MB of RAM,
(recommended 128), a Super VGA card, CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, as well as the standard keyboard and pointing
device. You should also check that the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is on the Windows XP Hardware Compatibility List

You are the desktop administrator for your company. You are preparing to upgrade a Windows 98 computer to
Windows XP Professional.

In preparation for the upgrade, you consult the Windows XP Professional minimum hardware requirements and
discover that the computer meets minimum requirements.

You want to verify that the computer's existing applications are compatible with Windows XP. What should you
do?

Create an Unattend.txt file and perform a Windows XP Professional installation on a similar machine. Test all
j

i
j
k
l
m
n Run the winnt32/checkupgradeonly command on the Windows 98 computer.

Explanation:

Running winnt32/checkupgradeonly on a Windows 98 machine performs a check on your computer for upgrade compatibility
with Windows XP. If you use this option with /unattend, no user input is required. Otherwise, the results are displayed on the
screen, and you can save them under the file name you specify. The default file name is Upgrade.txt and it is stored in the %
systemroot% folder.

Performing a Windows XP installation on another machine and then installing the required applications would not be an
efficient way to determine the compatibility of an existing Windows 98 machine with Windows XP Professional. Installing
Windows XP on a different partition would also require you to install and test all applications on the new XP installation. You
cannot use RIS to perform an upgrade.

You are the desktop administrator for your company. You need to upgrade the company CEO's computer from
Windows 98 to Windows XP Professional without losing any files or settings.

You begin by running the Winnt32 /checkupgradeonly command to ensure the computer and its applications are
compatible with Windows XP Professional. You quickly discover that the hardware is not adequate for an
installation of Windows XP, and you acquire a new computer.

You need to ensure that all of the CEO’s files and settings are migrated to Windows XP Professional. What should
you do? (Choose two. Each correct choice is part of the solution.)

f
g Change the CEO’s local profile to a roaming profile.
b

f
g Run the Loadstate command-line tool on the new system.

Explanation:

The Scanstate command-line utility allows you to save existing settings and files for use with Windows XP Professional.
After the successful installation of Windows XP, you use the Loadstate utility to load the settings and files on to the
destination machine.

Manually copying files or exporting and importing policy or registry settings will be insufficient to capture all settings
completely and apply them to the new systems. Windows 98 and Windows XP user profiles are incompatible, so simply
using a roaming profile will not work.
