70-290 Information Conflict

After a few months preparing for the 70-290 exam, I find
myself spending more time verifying the accuracy of
information rather than studying. Among them are:

1)Microsoft Press XP Training kit states:
By default, when you format a volume with NTFS, the Full
Control permission is assigned to the Everyone group.

Testing this on several XP machines with different SPs, I
always come up with Everyone: traverse folder, read
attributes, read extended attributes and read applied to
this folder only.

2)Windows XP Resource Kit States:
In Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000, both dial-up
and VPN connections can use MS-CHAPv2. Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 98, and Windows 95-based computers can only use
MS-CHAPv2 authentication for VPN connections.

Windows XP help states:
MS-CHAP v2 is supported by computers running Windows XP,
Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition, and
Windows NT 4.0. For computers running Windows 95, MS-CHAP
v2 is only supported for VPN connections, not for dial-up
connections.

Could someone please tell what is correct and what
Microsoft uses as its reference for test questions.
(XP resource kit?)

Generally, I'd always choose the online help as the authority.

Specifically, The help is correct and is backed up by the Win 2003
help.

The everyone gets full control was for Windows 2000 and was changed to what
you describe for XP. I am not sure about the second part though I know XP
and W2K have mschapv2 installed by default. The other ones may need a DUN
upgrade or Service Pack [NT 4.0] to use it. You want to always use mschapv2
whenever possible. --- Steve
