    - Cert Rant for MCSE 2K3 Upgrades <rant> On a serious note... So I am studying for my 70-296. (yes, i am trying to be productive and goofy at the same time. work's okay) I am using selftest software. There is clustering in the prep questions. It's also in the "Skills Being Measured" section: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-296.asp I looked through my upgrading skills 2000 to 2003 for MCSE/2210 workboot text. noting on it. I don't have the MCSA workbook, but I am pretty sure that it wasn't covered. I know i took the courses very early in the game, but still.... My company paid full price for those courses and workbooks. They should have covered all the objectives. :-( </rant> Rowdy Yates -- "the man who tried and failed miserably" Tag: Security+ Tag: 119385

    - Possible Bad Question I'm taking a practice test for the 70-218 using the CramMaster software. Question: Jennifer is an employee of a company called XYZ Dimensions Inc. located in Chicago. Jennifer is currently using a stand-alone Windows 2000 Professional workstation, named JennyW2KP, to use a locally installed graphics editing application. As the administrator, you are going to add JennyW2KP to the Windows 2000 Domain, named XYZDimensions.edu, which currently consists of one Windows 2000 Server Domain Controller and four Windows 2000 Professional workstations. Before adding JennyW2KP to the XYZDimensions.edu Domain, you use the Local Group Policy MMC snap-in on JennyW2KP and configure the account lockout policy to lock out Jennifer's local user account after three bad logon attempts. Afterwards, you configure the Default Domain Controllers Policy to lockout Jennifer's Domain Account after two bad logon attempts. What will be Jennifer's result if she attempts to logon to the Windows 2000 Network using her Domain Logon account and providing an invalid password both times? Select the correct answer. A Jennifer will be locked out of the Windows 2000 Network for a configured amount of time designated by the administrator. B Jennifer will be allowed three more logon attempts to the Windows 2000 Network because the Local Group Policy and Default Domain Controllers Policy cumulatively allow her five bad logon attempts. C Jennifer will be allowed one more logon attempt to the Windows 2000 Professional machine because the Local Group Policy allows her three bad logon attempts. D Jennifer will be allowed one more logon to the Windows 2000 Network because the Local Group Policy overrides the Group Policy. Correct answer: B Jennifer will be allowed three more logon attempts to the Windows 2000 Network because the Local Group Policy and Default Domain Controllers Policy cumulatively allow her five bad logon attempts. Explanation: Jennifer is using a Domain User account, which is impacted by the settings the administrator configured in the Default Domain Controllers Policy. My question is, since she is not logging on to a domain controller, I thought she wouldn't be affected by the default doamin controllers policy, therefore, her account should be locked out. Am I way off base here or is this a bad question? -- I may not be fully certified, but I am fully certifiable. Tag: Security+ Tag: 119297

    - Elective(s) Question Hi - I've taken & passed all of my core exams, time to move on to the electives. I had planned on taking the two SQL 2000 exams to get my MCDBA along with the MCSE... however, I'm getting tired of studying and a little lazy now that spring is almost upon us. A question / clarification... if I'm reading Microsoft's site right, I can take the comptia security+ exam & that will satisfy both elective requirements. Is that correct? If so, I'm going that route... don't think I can swallow two more exams. Know far more about security than SQL, anyway :-) Thanks. Tag: Security+ Tag: 114094

    - http://judiciary.senate.gov/testimony.cfm?id=1085&wit_id=2514 http://judiciary.senate.gov/testimony.cfm?id=1085&wit_id=2514 Some excerpts: "Mr. _____ began working for the majority in the Nominations Unit of the Judiciary Committee on September 19, 2001. He was interviewed and hired by Mr. _____, the Republican Staff Director for the Committee at that time. Mr. _____'s responsibilities involved the handling and processing of nominations paperwork. Later he was given additional responsibilities, including researching for the Committee's attorneys and speaking with the Department of Justice's Legislative Affairs and Legal Policy representatives. He stated that he worked for Ms. _____ and Mr. _____. According to Mr. _____, he became aware that he could access the files of Democratic staff some time in October or November of 2001. He made this discovery after watching the Committee's Systems Administrator, Mr. _____, perform some work on his computer. An admittedly curious person, Mr. _____ attempted to duplicate what the System Administrator had done after Mr. _____ left his workspace. According to Mr. _____, he accessed "My Network Places/Entire Network/Judak." In so doing, he was able to observe all of the users' home directories. He then clicked on different folders to see which ones he could access; he was able to access some folders, but not others. The folders that he could access, he stated, belonged to both Republican and Democratic staff. ... The fact that not all security events were audited significantly inhibited this investigation because permission changes could not be analyzed on any computer. When a user account is created, the System Administrator assigns that user access to certain privileges and resources on the network. If the system is not properly configured, users may be able to change their level of access and privileges. Because the System Administrators were not auditing permission changes, the forensic review was unable to produce a history of who had access to the files containing the Democratic documents at issue. This trend of not fully logging security events began before the the Committee's server upgrade in April of 2003. When the Committee migrated from Windows NT to Windows 2000 in April 2003, the same log settings were preserved and, as a result, the logging continued to be inadequate for a comprehensive security audit. ... Our investigation revealed that some user home directories were set to "open" permissions and other home directories were set to "strict" permission. This appears to be a result of the Judiciary Committee Network having two System Administrators during the time frame in question. One System Administrator had very strict account policies in place and the other did not. ... In conversations I've had with Mr. _____ since we spoke, it has come to light that I was not instructed to set such user permissions on each folder under the old system. This was an oversight in teaching me how to set up the accounts. My assumption was that these permissions were restricted by some other means, and as I was taking over an already functioning system, I did not think to double check this area of security."

    - Is it worth the $$ for more wallpaper I am getting ready to test for the MCP and working towards the MCSE just wondering if the wallpaper is worth the $$. Also wondering how much harder the real test is compared to transcender. With questions like: Your company has recentley purchased 700 computers with Windows 2000 Pro installed. You are planning on using them for the accounting dept. You are running 2 Subnets, SubnetA and SubnetB. On SubnetA you are running a DHCP and DNS. On SubnetB you are running 230 Windows NT 4.0 computers. You plan on connecting the 700 Windows 2000 Pro computers to SubnetB. They must have access to SubnetA and must have access to the internet which is provided by a proxy server also on SubnetA. You come into work on monday October 10th at 7 am. Feeling the effects of the 7 cups of coffee you had for breakfast you rush to the men's room with a sense of urgency. While sitting on the porcelain throne of kings you realize that you are in the ladies room and have been operating without a WINS server which is probably the reason those damn Win NT 4.0 computers never have been worth a M$hit. Upon this startling revelation you realize that there is no toilet paper or paper towels in the entire bathroom. After careful deliberation you decide to use one of your elastic support hose to wipe and you walk like John Wayne to your desk. At your desk You fire up your computer only to get the cryptic message "ntldr missing" What should you do first? A. call the damn janitor and give him hell about the toilet paper B. boot from the Windows 2000 Pro CD and Run the //\.RfCpyplntHed.exe C. stop drinking so much coffee before work D. sneak out before anyone sees you and call in sick E. pretend to be working and act annoyed when approached by co workers F. NONE of the AboVe But seriously do they purposely create those time consuming questions just to increase your frustration and lower your IQ measurably during the exam?

    - OT <RANT> Well. After several days of escaping the Borg-like agency which is incorporating our IT dept, they finally managed to assimilate my pc. It was hastily reimaged, and with the knowledge I work in the IT dept, they decided I was knowledgable enough to install my own programs. So they therefor proceeded to wipe my pc, install XP, and throw it at me, expecting me to be able to carry on with my IT duties as normal, without so much as my email account set up. Finally, after spending all day reconfiguring my pc to my liking, it's up and running, and I'm back at full force. I'm still not impressed with the set up, but at least I still have admin rights (courtesy of myself), while other users are completely locked down. And I have to admit, it was extremely funny to hear that they ran a script automatically shutting pc's off when the user logged in without "their" virus scanner.

Yes, this is still a viable option for your elective. Always check th
Microsoft web site for the most current exam and cert info. You shoul
also check the CompTia web site for more info on this exam. As of
couple weeks ago, this exam was 100 question, 90 minutes, with
passing score of 742. This is all subject to change. Comptia's we
site can tell you what areas you will be tested on, but this is a
entry level security exam and covers a lot of material, but not in to
great depth or detail. good luck
