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: For al teh reel answres 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: For al teh reel answres 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: For al teh reel answres Tag: 219859
Microsoft Press / Eval Software question.
I'm using the Managing and Maintaining Server 2003 Training Kit (2nd Ed.) and
the documentation calls for using SP1 at this point and not R2. However SP2
is now available. Should SP2 be installed or leave it at SP1 for the
training?

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: For al teh reel answres 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,

Another MCSE 2003
I passed my last MCSE exam on Feb 1st. It took me a year to finish the last 5
exams and three years in total to get to the MCSE. I work as a Network
Administrator and I knew nothing about installing servers, installing
Exchange, GPOs, AD, DNS, DHCP, etc. I had an opportunity to set this all up
from the ground up at my job. I had no plan but I had a lot of preparation
guides, installation guides, design guides, etc that I download and read from
Microsoft. My employer paid for one course which was for the 70-294 exam and
that exam I took a year later! I was too busy setting up the network. In
short, I earned my stripes getting the MCSE even though I didn't use every
technology covered on each exam (i.e Remote Access, VPNs, etc) but I tried my
best with Vmware to recreate the environment for learning. My question is
this, I want to move ahead into the systems architecture field and do more
intermediate systems work. Any advise on the best way to go about that? I
want to certify for Exchange 2007 and get a head start on Windows Server 08
as well. Tag: For al teh reel answres Tag: 219392
Simulation questions
I just barely failed 70-292, and the post mortem indicated that I did the
worst in Managing Name Resolution, an area I know well given that it's been
one of my main responsibilities for the last 6 years. There were a number of
simulations in that section, and I'm wondering if that's where I went wrong.
How precise do you have to be to be marked correct on simulations? On one
of them I remember pressing OK when I was done, but got no feedback from the
interface that I had done anything, so I assumed that it did nothing and did
not do it again. Was that a costly mistake? How picky are these simulations?
Thanks. Tag: For al teh reel answres Tag: 219390

OT: Webex replacements
I know this is a little more than slightly off topic, but maybe some of you
can help me.
I am looking for a replacement to webex. We use webex for remote customer
support, and it's a great tool no doubt, but it's expensive as all get out.
We have looked at and played with gotomypc, and logmein, however those
products require extensive local installation, something that many of our
customers object to (HIPAA concerns with their local IT staffs).
Ideally, a product should have the following properties...
full remote (secure) client control over the web
a meeting center
voice as well as web conferencing
file transfer ability
some type of payment portal (paypal or others)
be easy to connect to via the Internet yet secure
should pay us instead of us paying them
Ok, the last one is a bit of a stretch, I can bend on that :)
I am just looking for suggestions, maybe some of you have been in this boat
before.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions you might offer.
