Scheduling a retiring exam after 3/31/2008
Hello,
Has anyone tried to schedule any of the retiring exams after 3/31/2008
?
I just wonder what would happen.
a) Prometric would let you pay for it, then flag it and cancel it, and
eventually refund your money.
b) Give you credit toward an exam that isn't expiring
c) Keep your money but not let you take that test (or any test)
d) Let you take the test.
e) other?
I just wanted to finish up with the 292 and 296. I know I can take
the 290 and 291 for the 292 and the 293 and 294 for the 296. That
costs twice as much though...
Meanwhile I'm retaking "the beast" while fighting off
bronchitis/walking pneumonia on Tuesday.
With the nationwide testing center cockup on March 15th with Prometric
I thought MS might give some folks a break.

what should i NOT know?
Hi,
I'm studying from the official Microsoft MCSA/MCSE self paced training kit.
It tells me several things are not possible whereas we all know by now some
things are possible.
Some things are MS things: There is supposed to be NO 64-bit version of
Windows 2003 Std server.
Some things are technology improvements: Fibre Channel can only do 100Mbit,
iSCSI is not supposed to exist. :-)
I assume I am to rely on what the book says, and not what the real world is,
right? The "newest" technology that will be tested it what is in the "latest
version" of the book right?
Or.... am I supposed to know all there is at
http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/updates/ as well? I cannot find any update
for my book, just a lot of 2008 info.

70-350
I'm having trouble with this exam. My weak point is Configuring and Managing
Remote Network Connectivity.
Can anyone help me with revision material? The questions in the exam are
nothing like the ones in my OLC. I scored 678, so I'm hoping some targetted
revision in this area will get me through it. Tag: Excellent website for MCSE Certification Tag: 219922

MCSE 2000, passed 70-292, if I fail 70-296, which exams for MCSE 2
Hi!
Since we are really near the end of the month (March 2008) and those exams
are to expire, since I now passed the 70-292, and next week I'm trying
70-296, If I fail, which exams will be required to get my MCSE 2000 upgraded
to 2003? I heard that each of 70-292 & 70-296 are related to 2 exams in the
MCSE 2003 core exams, but which one (I assume the two last one for 70-296)?

70-292, 70-296 support group
Anyone else trying to pass these at the last minute? I passed 70-292
two weeks ago (on 3rd try). I have already failed 296 once. I guess
I shouldn't have procrastinated so long. I bought my MS Press book
about a year and a half ago. At that time I was pretty burned out
from getting my 2000 MCSE. I said, "I'll take a month off from
studying". Now here it is crunch time and I'm trying to cram. Anyone
esle in the same boat? Tag: Excellent website for MCSE Certification Tag: 219879
Boot Partition
So after the many updates and service packs on some of my older servers, that
dell was nice enough to think that 7GB partitions would be enough for future
upgrading, I have ran out of space. So I am pretty sure that extending boot
partitions are not doable....so what are people doing or using to fix this
problem? Reformating is not an option. Thanks in advance. Tag: Excellent website for MCSE Certification Tag: 219869
Second shot voucher if not entered at first schedule?
Last week I tried the 70-292 exam, but I did not entered my second shot
voucher # when I registered. This said, I failed the exam, and would like to
know how to reschedule it using the second shot voucher...
Prometric is tolding me that is impossible to do so, since the number was
not entered the first time... how we could re-schedule this exam using the
second shot voucher, if we FORGOT to enter it at the first try???
Thanks.

Exams expiration
Among the others, exams 70-292 and 70-296 are scheduled to expire on 31. March.
Does this mean that this is the date until You may take these exams or this
is the date until You may schedule the exam, and take it later (I think, it's
max 8 weeks from applying for the exam, until You actualy take it)? Tag: Excellent website for MCSE Certification Tag: 219859

MS Press Book 70-297
On page 1-52 under "Lesson 3 Review", question 2 states:
"Your company has registered the network ID 131.107.0.0, which uses the
default subnet mask 255.255.0.0. You would like to create a custom subnet
mask that allows you to divide that network into the maximum number of
subnets that would allow you to have at least 20 hosts per subnet. What
custom subnet mask would you use?"
Question 2 Answer states:
"To start with, you know you will have to borrow some bits from the host ID
in the third and fourth octets. Any custom subnet mask with a value greater
than 240 in the tourth octet will give you fewer than 20 hosts per subnet.
Using 255.255.255.224 as a subnet mask will give you 4095 possible subnets
with 31 hosts possible per subnet. It is also common practice to subtract 2
addresses from the possible number of hosts to account fro host IDs that
contain all zeros or all ones. Even with this margin, you still have 30
possible hosts."
I apologize for re-typing all of this but my question is about the answer.
Where do they get the number 4095 possible subnets? Is this a typo and if
not, where is the 4095 coming from? I understand every other part of the
question and answer except for that. Someone who knows please help. Thanks! Tag: Excellent website for MCSE Certification Tag: 219743

Understanding the DHCP Server Client conversation (very intresting subject)
Dear Friends,
Through my researches and my studies I tried to understand the DHCP Server
client conversation in Windows Server 2003 environment and I'm little bit
lost here.
Now, According to this table that is listed on Microsoft web page
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/169289
Source Dest Source Dest
Packet
MAC addr MAC addr IP addr IP addr
Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Client Broadcast 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 DHCP
Discover
* DHCPsrvr Broadcast DHCPsrvr 255.255.255.255 DHCP Offer
Client Broadcast 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 DHCP
Request
** DHCPsrvr Broadcast DHCPsrvr 255.255.255.255 DHCP ACK
I have some questions regarding the DHCP conversation manner.
The DHCP server sends a Broadcast MSG offering the IP address to the client
(*) and at the end it sends AGAIN a Broadcast MSG to acknowledge the IP
address that's been offered (**).
Now, my questions are :-
1) I understand that the Client is sending a broadcast message because it
doesn't know any concrete DHCP server in order to request an IP address, but
why the DHCP sends also a broadcast message to the client (*) (**)?
2) Let's agree that the DHCP server is broadcasting its offer, what happen
if there is more than one client (lets say 50 or more) is getting same IP
address that's suppose to be offered to a concrete client at the same time?
Doesn't this make a high traffic in the network making all the clients go
back and forth with the DHCPNACK, DHCPDECLINE and the DHCPACK?????
NOTE: I understand that the client sends an ARP request with the offered
IP address if it gets a reply that means that this IP address is in use and
the client sends DHCPDECLINE, this is from the CLIENT side but what about
the server side and the whole network?? :-s
3) Why don't the DHCP server cuts the crap and use the client MAC address to
send the DHCPOFFER and the DHCPACK instate of broadcasting to all clients?
PLEASE NOTE : That the MAC address is in the second layer (Data Link layer)
in the OSI model while the IP address is in the third layer (Network layer)
which make it more reasonable for the DHCP server to use the the MAC address
of the client that is requesting the service to send him the IP address
instate of BROADCASTING the DHCPOFFER and the DHCPACK and making high
traffic.
I'm sorry for make it long but I think that the subject is worth it....
Yours,
