Dear MCNGP
To be honest, when I first started reading this NG, I was
certain that you were just a cruel and mean group of
people who got their kicks from tormenting innocent people
who came to the NG for help.
I have read a lot of your posts. Yes you can be cruel at
times, but only to the trolls and dumpers. You do spend a
lot of time on off topic stuff, but that's your
prerogative. I have even seen members of your group
actually give helpful advice.
I began reading this NG while trying to decide if MCSE was
a certification that I wanted to pursue. I have since
decided that I have a long way to go to even begin. I seem
to have a knack when it come to computers and can usually
figure out what is wrong with them. I do not have any
experience in IT. I have decided to give the MSDST a shot
and go from there. I also plan to get my A+ certification.
Keep up the fight against dumpers and "paper" certs. I
will continue to read this group and even post once in a
while.

Exam 70-282 Practice Test Availability
I have checked several sites (Transcender, MeasureUp and SelfTest) and no one appears to have practice tests for this exam. Transcender says that the status is "under consideration".
Does anyone have a clue as to how long it will take before we see practice tests available for this exam? How about a book geared toward the exam?
I know the exam is new, but Microsoft is making noise about this being a "required" cert for the Network Infrastructure competency
thanks for any insight..

OT: Progress report
Well, it's day 2 of our migration from 2K to XP for the client machines. Our
network admin isn't around today, as usual for a Tuesday, and my boss is out
today, due to unforseen family events, or something. So that leaves me. Now,
do you all want to listen to what the fukc I'm doing all day? I don't think
you do, because you'll pummel me into the ground for uttering such
blasphemous words, but I'm going to spit it out anyways...
So, we're "upgrading" from 2K Pro to XP Pro. But we're not upgrading. We're
doing "fresh", "clean" installs. Only not exactly. Let me explain. I've been
instructed to back up each computers' Documents and Settings folder, any
folders that "look like they may contain user's files", and (get this),
Program Files. So I back them up using Windows' backup utility. Easy enough.
Put them out on a file server, and get along with the installation. Boot
from our brandy-spankin' new XP disks, and install it ALONG SIDE Win2K. Yes,
you heard me right. We're not upgrading, but I've been forbidden to format
the drives. The closest thing I can do is convert any FAT32 drives over to
NTFS. Which will not change the stupidity of the situation. So, I dutifully
do as I'm told, installing XP next to 2K (yes, in the same folder). This,
against M$'s warnings during install to visit their multiboot page, and
warnings that what I'm about to do isn't the smartest thing in the world.
So, I asked the head honcho of this project why, exactly, we're doing things
this way (that is, installing XP along side 2K). And he says to me "oh, it
will overwrite 2000." And I said, no, we're not upgrading you said. You told
me we were doing fresh installs. "Yes, we are. And it will overwrite 2000
with XP." Not wanting to argue, and embracing the fact that I'm off the hook
for this (and thereby guaranteeing me a job fixing this mess in the future),
I went about my business. I installed on the first computer, happy as can
be. It installs great, and when I reboot, guess what happens? Yup, it asks
me whether I want to boot into 2000 or XP. Hmmmmm....didn't see that one
coming, did I? So, my instructions now are to not alter the way I'm doing
things, but to simply edit the boot.ini file once the install is complete.
This will "effectively" "delete" Windows 2000. I can smell disaster. This
setup is only slightly more stable than Windows ME on a 5 year old eMachines
box with a failing hard drive. Now, remember I said I was to backup Program
Files? Yeah, well now it's time to restore backups. So, I do as I'm told and
begin restoring, knowing full well the adventures that lay before me. Of
course, once backups are restored, most programs won't work. Acrobat Reader
works, and a couple custom apps work. But now I've got a mess of program
directories with executables, dlls, and other assorted garbage in them that
just won't work. And worst of all, they're not "removable" (by Add/Remove
Programs....because they're not installed. They're *there*, but they're not
installed.) So, I begin the awful task of reinstalling what I can, what they
need, and what I feel like giving them. So, the time comes to install our
accounting/inventory software. It's called Best. And it's not. It's nothing
but trouble. So, after freezing on the install on the first machine for over
an hour, it finally "finishes". Turns out all it installed was some Best
diagnostic something-or-other. So I have to scrap it and delete the
appropriate Program Files directory, and go at it again. This time it works.
So, after I finish installing the junk for the lusers, all is well. Of
course, it's only a matter of time before 2K and XP decide they want a
divorce and cant handle living together in the same directory, and sh!t hits
the fan. Then the real fun begins.
So, I was here until 9 last night doing this, I was in at 7 this morning
doing this, but I'm getting my a$$ out of here at 5:30, not a minute later,
today. I don't know how much I can take of doing this the wrong way.
Whether I like it or not, I'm just doing what I'm told. :(

MCSE Readness question for 70-270

In topics cover, there is one question that I am not really able to understand hope you can help me to catch it
The question is
An account manager has lost its portable with critical data on it. IT departement is able to installed a new one with previously backup. But in order to protect critical company data they need to setup a strateg
One of the correct answer was
You add the computer to the company domain and issue user certificate for S/MIME and EFS from AD-integrated Certificate Services Certificate Authority. YOu install the certificates on a PC Smart Card that is compatible wiuth windows XP and Windows Server Certificate Service. You install the Smart Card into the new laptop computer and verify that suitable drivers are install
Based on that answer I have been told that certificated can not be read directly from a flash card, it can be export to it for backup, but for using it it has to be install on the PC. According to the answer I understand it like it is possible to read it directly from the flash card right
If yes how can I test that

OT: How to deal with Bad Bosses
Tip sheet for dealing with different types of difficult bosses:
The Hermit: Gives attention to employees only when they screw up.
Solution: Insist on scheduling time with them, and let them know what
you're doing.
Micromanagers: Check in on employee/project status every 20 minutes.
Solution: Give them some sense of how the work will proceed, then negotiate
the frequency you'll report on its progress.
Verbal abusers: Screamers and yellers with hair-trigger tempers.
Solution: "What you have to say to me is important, but I can't process
info when you're yelling." Reschedule the meeting.
Passive aggressors: Those who shift priorities without communication or
apparent awareness.
Solution: Take notes of conversations then copy the manager on them with
the statement, "This is my understanding of our conversation." Poses the
risk of escalation but also creates a paper trail.

Studying for 70-290
I'm pretty new to the Windows Server OSes. I started working on NT 4.0 in
1999, Windows Server 2000 in 2001, and Windows Server 2003 just a few months
ago. I'm trying to pass my first Windows Server 2003 exam - 70-290. I
attended the Microsoft 2273A class, read the Sybex 70-290 Study Guide, and
the Microsoft Press 70-290 study guide. However, when I took a MeasureUp
practice exam, I failed with a 53% and did not pass any objective out of
five. I admit the possibility exists that I'm just too stupid to pass the
exam, however I've been successfully working on networks and servers for
over 20 years. The most difficult aspects of the exam seemed to be where you
are presented with a very long scenario - I just can't keep the facts
straight. Does anyone have a tried and true method for how to handle
questions such as these? I'm going back to the books, but I would appreciate
some study and exam taking tips. Tag: 214 Test Tag: 126144

Please, Sir! May I have another!
I'm totally wracked. I was up till 3 last night studying, tried to
catch 4 hours sleep and resume at 7 but the damn cat started howling
at 5am. That woke me up, and with all the coffee I had the night
before, I couldn't get back to sleep. I can't imagine how bad that
cat would be if it still had it's balls. I hammer-tossed the cat in
the direction of Canada and got back to studying some more.
Thank god for him, though. I had a feeling I needed to really review
automated/unattended installs. I was feeling hazy on that stuff and
as it turns out, half the test focused on it.
Well, I just finished taking the MS Windows XP exam. I guess I really
underestimated this test. I know there were a lot of "paper" MCSEs in
the
NT4 days but I don't think that's gonna be the case anymore. This
test was
HARD.
I picked up a cram book and it did an OK job. It was 430 pages and I
went
though it in about seven days. Last night and this morning put
together I
spent about 9 hours reviewing and taking practice tests. So basically
about
50 hours total.
The test really went into a lot of depth, though, and the cram book
just
scratched the surface. I'd be reading a question and thinking, "okay,
I
know where they're going with this, I know what the solution will be".
Nope. Every single question was tough. There wasn't a single
"gimme".
Each question would intentionally discard the obvious answers or give
scenarios where the most common solution wasn't applicable, so you
have to
know all those backwater voodoo solutions. There *were* a lot of
real-world
scenarios but they were the kind you would typically approach in real
life
with a trial-and-error methodology. Obviously, that isn't an option
on a
test. You had to be able to mentally troubleshoot a minimum of three
steps
ahead. It was crazy.
It was 50 questions and I finished with about three minutes left on
the
clock. I had enough time to review two questions and then got peaced
out to
the "Printing Report" screen. Passing score was 700 and I got a 737.
Doesn't get any closer than that. Guess I got rethink my strategy
going into the core exams. Tag: 214 Test Tag: 126071

braindumps...you must be kidding
Here's where I reveal my naivete, but what the heck.
Way back when, when glaciers covered the earth, and I took the NT 3.51
Server and Networking Essentials tests, I rememeber thinking that I
would've been hard pressed to have made much more than a moronic stab at
same had I not been using 3.51 Server and Workstation in a production
environment. (That I was badly hung-over during the latter in no small
measure, I'm sure, contributed to this view.) Thus, my perplexity at the
frequent eruption of questions about braindumps in this group.
Are these...individuals...just blissfully unaware of the flaming failures
that await them should they take the tests after dump-consumption alone,
and thus set to get their just reward? Does anyone actually have any
degree of success, thus revealing the future of humanity is, indeed, grave?
