| 1. You are the network administrator
for the Trident-Design company. Your network is Windows
2000. Your boss has just purchased a new computer for you
and you want to install Windows XP Professional on it.
After the installation is completed, you attempt to boot
the computer for the first time. However, you receive the
following error message:
STOP 0x0000007B: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
You are sure that the all hardware components that
came with the computer are Windows XP Professional
compatible.
Which of the following actions should you take to
fix the problem in least amount of time?
A. Reinstall the Windows XP Professional operating
system.
B. Create an ERD and use it to boot the system.
C. Convert the system partition from FAT32 to NTFS.
D. Use the Recovery Console.
Answer: D
Explanation: The STOP 0x0000007B: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
error indicates that the Windows XP Professional operating
system is unable to access the system partition or
boot volume during the boot process. Sometimes installing
incorrect device drivers can cause this problem. It
could also indicate a possible virus infection. Either
way, the quickest way to try to resolve the problem
would be to start the computer using the Recovery Console.
The Recovery Console is a Windows XP Professional option
for recovering from a failed system. Starting the computer
in the Recovery Console will start the computer without
the graphical interface. You can use the command-line
to perform administrative tasks such as adding or replacing
files, and enabling and disabling services. In this
scenario, you could use the Recovery Console to run
the FixMBR command to overwrite the MBR (Master Boot
Record) if it was corrupted by a virus.
Reinstalling the XP Professional operating system
might solve the problem if the MBR had been damaged
by a virus. However, this solution would take too much
time.
In order to create an ERD (Emergency Repair Disk)
for the Windows XP computer, you will need to first
boot the computer successfully. Additionally, an ERD
is not bootable. Therefore, this is not a viable solution.
Converting the system partition from FAT32 to NTFS
would not fix the problem.

2. You are the desktop administrator for the Sales
department. The company's network is currently a Windows
2000 domain. You have just installed Windows XP on
your boss's new computer. You want to install the Recovery
Console on his computer. However, in the past, your
boss has created problems attempting to fix problems
on his computer by himself. Therefore, you do not want
him to know that the Recovery Console has been installed
on his computer.
Which of the following actions should you take to
accomplish your goal?
A. Configure a local computer policy that will effectively
hide the Recovery Console on your boss's computer.
B. Modify the boot.ini file to so that it has the /sos switch.
C. In the boot.ini file, specify the timeout value as 0.
D. Run Winnt.exe /cmdons on your boss's new Windows XP Computer.
Answer: C
When the Recovery Console is installed on a computer,
it will appear as an option from the boot menu screen
along with the operating systems installed on the computer.
You can control the length of time that this menu is
shown before the computer automatically boots from
the default selection. By configuring the timeout value
to be O in the boot.ini file, you will cause the boot
menu screen to never appear during the boot process.
Instead the computer will automatically boot from the
default selection, which should be the Windows XP Operating
System, since this is the only OS installed on your
boss's computer.
The /sos switch will cause the name of drivers to
be displayed during the boot process. Adding the /sos
switch to the appropriate line in the boot.ini file
will not accomplish your objective in this scenario.
A local computer policy that would hide the Recovery
Console on your boss's computer does not exist. Therefore,
option A is incorrect.
Running Winnt.exe /cmdons on your boss's new Windows
XP computer would install the Recovery Console. While
this is part of the steps you must take, this action
will not prevent your boss from knowing that the Recovery
Console is installed on his computer.

3. You are the network administrator for your company's Windows 2000
Network. You have 50 new computers that you need to install with Windows
XP Professional. You create a network share named \\Install\WinXP\i386.
Then you copy the Windows XP Professional installation files to the new
share. You also download the latest updates from Microsoft's Web Site
and store them in the \\Install\\WinXP\updates network share.
Users of the new computers will be installing Windows
XP Professional on to their new computers from the
\\Install\WinXP\i386. Your company connects to the
Internet with a 56-Kbps modem. Since the connection
is slow, and you have already downloaded the updates,
you do not want users to download the updates again
during the installation of Windows XP Professional.
Instead, you want them to access the updates from the
\\Install\\WinXP\updates share.
Which of the following actions should you perform?
A. Run the \\Install\WinXP\i386 command.
B. Run the \\Install\WinXP\i386\Winnt32/duprepare:\\Install\WinXP\updates
from each new computer. Then have each user run \\Install\WinXP\i386\Winnt32/dushare:\\Install\WinXP\updates <\\Install\WinXP\i386> on
their computers.
C. Run the \\Install\WinXP\i386\Winnt/duprepare:\\Install\WinXP\updates
from each new computer. Then have each user run \\Install\WinXP\i386\Winnt32/dushare:\\Install\WinXP\updates <\\Install\WinXP\i386> on
their computers.
D. Run the \\Install\WinXP\i386\Winnt32/dudisable command.
Answer: B
In order for Setup to be able to use the installation
files in the \\Install\WinXP\i386 share, the share
must be processed using this command: \\Install\WinXP\i386\Winnt32/duprepare:\\Install\WinXP\updates.
This command also prepares the share to be used with
the Microsoft Updates. It does not matter what computer
you run this command from. After the first command
has been run, users can run this command: \\Install\WinXP\i386\Winnt32/dushare:\\Install\WinXP\updates <\\Install\WinXP\i386> from
their computers to begin the Windows XP installation
process.
Running the \\Install\WinXP\i386 command alone will
not accomplish your goals in this scenario.
Option C is wrong because you can not use the Winnt.exe
command with the parameters specified in this scenario.
These parameters will only work with Winnt32.exe.
The dudisbale parameter will prevent Dynamic Update
from running. Without Dynamic Update, the Windows XP
Professional Setup will run with only the original
Setup files. Therefore, option D is incorrect.

4. You are the network administrator for a graphic
design company. Your boss has given you a new computer
and she wants you to install Windows XP Professional.
You network has Windows 2000 Server computer configured
as a Remote Installation Services (RIS) server. You
decide to use the RIS server to install Windows XP
Professional on the new computer. However, when you
start the computer, it does not connect to the RIS
server. Instead, you receive this error message:
"Operating system not found"
You want the computer to access the RIS server when
you start it.
What action should you take to accomplish your objective?
A. You must add a WINS server to the network.
B. In the new computer's BIOS Setup, specify the NIC as the boot device.
C. In the new computer's BIOS Setup, configure the computer's boot password
so that it is the same as the RIS server's.
D. You must reserve the new computer's IP address on the DHCP server.
Answer: B
RIS is a Windows technology that allows you to remotely
install Windows XP Professional using either a CD-based
image or a Remote Installation Preparation (RIPrep)
Image. In order for the new computer to locate the
RIS server and begin the Windows XP Professional installation,
you must ensure that the computer is configured to
boot from the network. To accomplish this, modify the
new computer's BIOS Setup so that it will use the NIC
(Network Interface Card) as the boot device.
A WINS server is not required for RIS.
You do not need to set a boot password to match the
RIS server's password.
It is not necessary to reserve the IP address of the
new computer in order for the RIS installation to begin.

5. You have just installed Windows XP Professional
on your laptop computer. The laptop supports Advanced
Power Management (APM). The first time you attempt
to shutdown the computer using the new operating system,
the computer locks up. You push the power button but
nothing happens. Eventually you have to disconnect
the battery to turn the computer off. You think that
APM may be the cause of the shutdown problem. You want
to enable the computer to shutdown properly as well
as use the APM system.
Which of the following actions should you take to
achieve your goals?
A. You should restart your computer and run the Power.exe utility.
B. You should restart your computer and run the Apmstat.exe utility.
C. You should upgrade your computer with a BIOS that supports APM.
D. You should restart the computer and enable the APM in the System BIOS
Setup.
E. You should restart the computer and disable the APM in the System
BIOS Setup.
F. You should install a custom power-management solution.
Answer: B, D
Advanced Power Management (APM) is a feature supported
by Windows XP Professional that will reduce the power
consumption of a computer. APM is especially useful
when using a laptop that runs on battery power. By
using the Apmstat.exe utility, you can view the status
of APM on the target computer. Using Apmstat.exe can
help you narrow down possible causes of power-related
problems. Because you know that your computer supports
APM, the fact that the computer cannot shutdown properly
indicates that APM is disabled in the system BIOS.
The Power.exe utility is the MS-DOS equivalent of
APM for Windows 2000. It should not be used in this
scenario.
Your computer supports APM. Therefore, you do not
need to upgrade the system BIOS for the APM to work
properly.
APM provides the functions that custom power-management
solutions provided in the past. Therefore you do not
need to install any custom power-management solutions.
