Driver Signing
Device Manager - In a network with a domain, would you configure USERS under Local Users and Groups in Computer Management? Why or why not.
- In a Domain, the validation will occur with the server, if USERS are selected, this would be for the local machine only.

Fault Tolerant - What does RISC stand for
- Redudec Instruction Set Computing
- What is a simple volume?
- 1 space on 1 harddrive
- What is the ARC Path?
- They point to the computers boot partition
- Why does a striped set with parity need at least three hard drives?
- to write parity information, so if one disk is lost it can be rebuilt
- How does a spanned volume work? How is information stored? is it striped for example?
- Data is written to first disk first, then when full moves to next hard drive. There is no fault tolerance.
- What is the pourpose of uninstall/unplug a device? where is this location?
-
things like hot swap drives,
located in the add new hardware wizard - Describe usable space with spanned, striped and mirrored sets?
- See book
- After converting to a dynamic disk, can you go back to a basic disk?
- No. The information would need to be moved somwehere else. You cant go back
- Does the extended partition get a drive letter>
- NO, you name the logical drives once you have created the primary partition
- nt4- PLUG AND PLAY COMPATABLE?
- NO
- Adding hardware- name three ways
-
#1) My computer, ribght click, properties, hardware tab.
#2)Start >> Settigns >> Control Panel >> ADD REMOVE HARDWARE
#3) Start settigns control panel, right click on SYSTEM and then Device Manager
#4) My netowrk places >> properties >> Local area connection >>properties, can configure NIC card from here.
#3) - What is a simple way to add hardware with the GUI?
- mY COMPUTER, RIGHT CLICK, PROPERTIES, hARDWARE TABM, HARDWARE WIZARD
- Hint: establish a baseline with the performance monitor when computer is first built, then you can go back and check if computer have problems might what be wrong... is the proccessor getting hit? memory? Do a baseline on a couple diff comps in the compa
- groovy
- TEST QUESTION- uninstall/unplug a device is located where?
- add/remove hardware wizard.
- Windows 2000 has the ability to have 2 devices share the same IRQ, memory address and I/O ranges
- correct
- Discribe a mirrored volume
- 2 hard drives with mirrored data, fault tolerant, Raid Level 1
- What is a spanned volume with a dynamic disk?
- 2 hard drives represent one space, a spanned volume.
- TEST: If you specify 100 megs on a MIRRORED volume, how much space will be taken from each drive? How much will the drive letter reflect?
- 100 each drive (200 total)_, but represents 100 megs in explorer.
- You have a computer with 2 SCSI controllers, and the system files are on the second controller second hard drive and, second partition. Give the ARC pathname
- scsi(1)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(2)
- TEST: If you specify 100 megs on a striped volume, how much does it take from each drive?
- 100 megs each
- What is the difference between trace logs and counter logs in the Performance Monitor
-
Counter Logs is 5 sec delay (or specified)
and Trace logs run continusly when set up (better look into it) - nt4 does not have dynamic disks... tru or false.
- TRUE
- In the event viewer, what does the system log information store
- System related errors only,
- What is a simple volume on a dynamic disk?
- 1 space on 1 hard drive.
- In the event veiwer, how is the what information is described by a blue "information" icon?
- Services that have started, general information.
- Instances in the Performance monitor, what does that mean?
- muiltiple objects, could have disk 0 and disk1 or multiple network cards
- What is just below the scroll arrouws in the event viewer
- a icon to copy to paste (2 peices of paper) into notepad and be able to send
- Once an extended partition is created, is it assigned a drive letter?
- No, it is divided and given drive names.
- Break down the ARC pathname into its three parts and explain them AT LEASE 1 QUESTION ON THE TEST!!!!
-
#1)multi(0) --- tells us that controller is IDE. If SCSI the MULTI would be replaced with SCSI. Naming starts at 0. First controller 0, second 1.
#2)disk(0)rdisk(0) Hard drive--- Use one or the other. MULTI (ide) uses RDISK and SCSI uses DISK.
#3)partition(1) naming starts at 1. - What is an advantage of striped volume?
- Since can read and write to both drives at once, it is faster.
- The event properties in the Event Viewer can give a Source #. How is this helpfull?
- You can use technet and input that and maybe get a clue about the problem.
- What is a basic disk composed of?
- Partitions or Logical Drives
- The security subsection of the Event viewer is helpfull in what way?

- Application specific errors
- Objects in the Performance Monitor could be what types of things?
- Network card, memory cpu. Can also be software applications that are running. They can be hardwar or software
- What are the tree tabs in the task manager?

- Performance ALERTS have what options in the Performance monitor?
- Various, network alerts, logging options, run a program at hit, etc
- What are the two sections of the boot.ini
- Boot Loader and Operating systems
- Explain a mirrored volume.
- 2 hard drives with mirrored data, fault tolerant.
- What are counters purposes in the Performace Monitor?
- what we are going to be monitoring on the objects and instances in the Performance Monitor
- What is the dissadvantages of a striped volume?
- If the hard drive goes out, you loose the entire volume.
- What are partition/logical drive rules for a BASIC DISK?
-
4 primary partitions
OR
3 primary partitions and one extended partition extended into 4 logical drives - What level RAID is a mirroed volume?
- Level 1
- TEST Q: How many drives can be used for striped or spanned volumes?
- 2-32
