But that is not the case. >I have it on good advice that half the struggle with MS > exams is grappling with the devious way in which the questions are > composed, not the material itself. Not true, the questions as far as I have experienced aren't really devious at all. Sometimes they are very complex and you have to know the subject extremely well to answer them appropriately. That would be the point of the test, to measure knowledge of the product. > And yes I have read study guides, user manuals and gained years of > experience in IT.

But, A$$FUSKRS don't usually make a point about which is good and which is bad. They are just interested in passing the tests in the easiest way possible. You do not seem to be one of them. I am sorry I didn't notice that first.

Yes, that's why, and I have forgotten, did someone earlier say that or is this something you have noticed by acquiring these products? Oh, the most cost effective way to prepare yourself is really to build a network as cheaply as possible and use material from your local library and the mountain of documentation that comes with the the product in the help and support center. Classes are good if you don't know a certain aspect of the product. My downfall is still RRAS. I purchased a fifty dollar book that I could use at work and to help study and build the test environment as though I didn't have anything but windows machines and layer 2 switches. Seems weird, but it is Microsoft's product and their test I'm taking so, that's why I'm doing it. > Does a rhetorical question count? I'm losing count here.

    - Re: Leasing Time Issue Again these five clients aren't releasing the ip, they are unable to renew it or receive acknowledgement of a leased ip. Something else on your network could be providing dhcp. A router that is dhcp enabled or a rogue dhcp server could be doing it. So, between yesterday and today you have had your dhcp server service stopped and you have rebooted 100 clients to test this theory?--And you have checked all 100 machines for alternate configurations?

    - DHCP Leasing Client01 one leases an IP and so does Client02. One hour after their leasing, the DHCP server goes down. Client01 and Client02 have to reboot for any reason. After rebooting, Client01 maintains its IP address, as per the leasing expiration. Client02 releases the IP (remember they both have the same leasing period) for some reason. Both clients are Windows XP, and their behavior is expected to be the same, since they have the same TCP/IP configuration. They are in the same subnet and both can find the default gateway. No alternate IP is assigned. Any clue about why Client02 would release its IP before the leasing time expires? Remember Client01 has the same config and does not release the IP.

This is not quite how DHCP leases work. DHCP leases are controlled by the DHCP server, not the client. When a DHCP client reboots, after the IP stack is started, it issues a DCHP Discovery packet, if the DHCP servers that receive the broadcast respond with a Acknowledge packet. If the DHCP server that acknowledges the client was the one that issued the address the client has cached, the client will request it in the Request packet, if the lease is still active, the DHCP server will respond with a Offer package for the address and the lease time is reset. If the DHCP server is not online when the client reboots, the client will use an APIPA address and continue to rebroadcast a Discovery packet every 5 minutes (2000 and later). As for why the two XP clients are behaving differntly, my guess is that the network IP properties on each client are configured differently. Most likely, APIPA is turned off on Client01. Client02 is working as expected. If you would like to learn more about this I suggest reading the RFC on DHCP (while boring as heck, if there is no better source for learning DHCP, which is a pretty simple protocol) and/or installing a network monitor and watching DHCP traffic.

    - Re: computertraining.com llc I heard their ad in Washington, DC the other day. If you are going to spend $25,000 on ANY school...I would highly recommend Strayer, Georgetown Extension, or something that will carry *ACCREDITED* hours which could be applied towards a college program or certificate. Remember that certifications age and expire, but a degree lasts a lifetime...even if you started to learn programming with punchcards or the Apple 6502 processor, loading applicaitons via tape, or waiting for your application, in the queue, to be executed. Hey, this stuff was still around in the late 80's and early 90's. So, your MCSE 2003 might not mean squat in 2010, but that Bachelors degree or that Masters degree will still be a degree. Granted, it may be a bit dated in 20 years...but so will you. ***That having been said, if you have experience and you have a degree, I would still consider spending $25,000 with Strayer or Georgetown Extension, or some other college. If it were $6,000, it would be a different story.

Nocturnal gave you a clue last week when he asked if your DHCP client service was disabled. Check that this service is working properly (remember to check the services it depends on as well). If it fails to start in a timely manner your ip address will become 0.0.0.0 and if the service comes on line a few moments later your macine will begin to look for the DHCP server asking for an IP address. When no response is received Client02 will give itself an APIPA. > Remember Client01 has the same config and does not release the IP. TCP/IP configs may be the same, but services and other hardware may not be equal. As for the question of the dhcp info remaining after reboot on Client01, the registry holds the answer to this please see: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314053 If you continue to have trouble please post in: microsoft.public.windows.server.networking group.

    - Re: computertraining.com llc I do recommend taking at least one class from a Microsoft certified learning center (CTEC/CPLS) or a College that offers the Microsoft tracs. If you are looking to get a cert and knock it out, and you have some experience, and most importantly, money to burn... ...the Intense Schoole was pretty good for the price http://www.intenseschool.com/ However, Vigilar has purchased it...and there is no telling what the price is now. ...Extreme Logic was pretty good http://www.hp.com/education/sections/microsoft.html However, HP has purchased it...and, again, pricing is a question. Personally, if you are spending more than $6,000 you could almost teach yourself for less than half of that. Purchase the self-paced training kit for Windows 2003 (~$125) (bookpool.com is my fave); a workstation, or workstations, with plenty of RAM, or a RAM upgrade to your current system ($500-$2000); an inexpensive Linksys hub and Cat5 cables ($30-$50) to connect to your current network; and VMWare Workstation or Virtual PC ($150). You can use the 120-day trials that are out on the net to build your systems. If you really need hands-on instruction, I would also recommend purchasing the CBT Nuggets ($899). They do a really good job. Plan on studying 2-3 hours per day and plan on taking a test once every 2 weeks. First, you could learn from Microsoft's elearning site. There are some free courses there. http://www.microsoft.com/learning/elearning.asp Bob -- Bob Christian II MVP - LCS http://bobchristian.blogspot.com - Blog "twistedscience" <eatsatjoes@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1132552732.220036.193650@g14g2000cwa.googlegroups.com... >I see...Thanks for the response.

First of all the format of these ms exams cannot be compared to what you have to achieve in order to become a baccalaureate. The format of the ms exams is no more than simple point 'n' click/drag 'n' drop type questions, with the actual answers actually presented to you up front. So, you simple have to choose/construct the answer from what's given to you. Nowhere do you 'write' anything about your answers, or describe and explain, in your 'own' words, how you came to an answer; in other words, answering the question does not prove an understanding of the question being answered. In addition there is no course work as such that is graded as part of your overall assessment.. The format of the exams make them very easy, and thus open to 'practice test' providers being able to exploit them for profit. It is also, sadly, very easy for people to cheat using brain dumps or 'products' from certain 'practice test' providers, which has undermined their value to such an extent that the so called 'certifications' they lead to have become worthless in real world and have simply resulted in an endless supply of unqualified, yet so called 'ms certified' people who have simply achieved this status by memorizing the answers to questions which they don't even understand. >And yes I have read study guides, user manuals and gained years of >experience in IT.
