1. Which of the following are the minimum requirements to run Windows 2000 Professional?

A. Pentium 133
B. 650MB free disk space
C. 64MB RAM
D. 32MB RAM
E. 850MB free disk space
F. Pentium 166

Windows 2000 Professional require a 133 MHz Pentium or higher microprocessor (or equivalent), 64 megabytes (MB) of RAM(recommended minimum) and 32 MB of RAM is the minimum supported. A 2 GB hard disk with 650 MB of free space is needed as well. If you are installing over a network, more free hard disk space is required. You may choose 64MB RAM as one of the answers however, 64MB is a recommended minimun. Check the reference link to see how Microsoft defines the minimum requirements for Windows 2000 Professional in their Product Document.

Answer: A,B,D

2. To increase the performance of your Windows 2000 Professional computer, you install another Processor to your computer. However the system respond time is not been improved at all. You use system monitor to gather some data and found that your first processor is still running at near 90% of it capacity. When you investigate the processes running in that computer, you found that there are some Win16-based applications running together with Win32-based application. Which of the following can improve the performance of the system? (Choose all that apply)

A. Increase the priority of the processes that are running in the memory.
B. Run your Win16-based application at separate memory space.
C. Update the standard PC device driver to MPS Multiprocessor PC driver using the device manager.
D. Rewrite the Win16-Based application to Win32-based application that support multiple processor.

To use the second processor you added, you need to update the standard PC device driver in the device manager to MPS Multiprocessor PC driver. By default Win16-based application will run in the same memory space, however, you can configure them to run in separate memory space to increase the stability of your system. When you run all Win16-based application in the same memory space, if one of them hang, the rest of the win16-based will all hang. However you will not gain any performance improvement by doing so. By rewriting the application from 16-bit to 32bits, the program can then utilised both of the processor. Increasing the priority of the process will increase a speed of a process but will not increase the overall system performance as the amount of CPU time can be utilised is still the same.

Answer: C,D

3. You have a laptop with a single processor that has an APM feature. However, when you shut down that laptop, it hangs at the shut down screen. You try to turn off the power by pressing and holding the power switch but the laptop is still on. Finally you have to take out the battery and then off the laptop. You verify that the APM is compatible with Windows 2000 Professional and it has been enabled in the BIOS. How can you make sure that this problem won't occur again?

A. At the Power Applet inside Control Panel, enable the hibernate.
B. Enable the APM at the Power applet inside the Control Panel
C. On your computer again and then uses the CMOS utility to disable the APM in the BIOS.
D. Reinstall all the APM Software that come with the manufacturer of that laptop.

You can use the Apmstat.exe tool to check the status of APM on a laptop. This tool can be extracted from the Windows 2000 Professional Installation CD under the support\tools folder. By running apmstat -v the program may report the following:

I) This is a multi-processor machine, APM does not work on MP machines, at all.
This machine has an APM BIOS on the AutoEnable list, and the APM BIOS appears to be on. APM should have been autoenabled at install. However, APM may have been manually disabled. Check the APM tab in the Power applet in the Control Panel.

II) This machine has an APM BIOS present that looks OK, and it is not on the list of machines known to have APM problems. Check the Power applet in the Control Panel to see if APM is enabled.

III) The last one of these entries may be displayed on computers that support APM, but on which Windows 2000 cannot determine the status of the computer's APM compliancy. This machine has an APM BIOS on the AutoEnable list, and the APM BIOS appears to be on. APM should have been autoenabled at install. However, APM may have been manually disabled. Check the APM tab in the Power applet in the Control Panel.

In this case, we have a single processor laptop as well as a APM BIOS that is compliant with Windows 2000 Professional, hence case I) and III) are not the problem we have. It is likely the case that the APM is disable in the Power applet inside the control panel hence we should enable it back by using the power applet.

4. You are an network administrator of a company that has 50 Windows 2000 Professional and 3 Windows 2000 Servers. One of your servers is setup as Domain controller to provide logon to all the computers in your network. To strengthen your network security, you decided to rename your domain administrator account, what else should you do to prevent or to trace the unauthorised use of domain administrator account.

A. Enable the audit the account logon events at the audit policy.

B. Set the Account lockout threshold to 3 to lock the account after 3 failed logon attempt.

C. Set the Account lockout threshold to 1 to lock the account after 1 failed logon attempt.

D. Audit the Object Access events.

E. Set the audit of the account logon events to audit after 1 failed attempt.

To trace which computer is being used by the perpetrator to attempt logon to your domain using domain administrator account, you have to enable the auditing for the account logon events. When you enable this option, you should enable at least the audit of fail logons. Setting account lockout threshold to 3 will lock normal account if someone has failed 3 times to logon using that account, however, administrator account will never be lockout, hence setting this policy will not help because the question is about domain administrator security but not general user accounts. So B and C are incorrect. For logon events auditing, you only can enable it or disable it, you cannot set the audit to audit after the number of attempts that you desire, so E is incorrect. Auditing Object Acces events is only for tracing access to files and printers, etc, but not account logon, so D is incorrect.

Answer: A
