Exam Questions, Answers, Braindumps (70-290)
Cleared 70-290… Thanx to www.exams.ws
and www.examcheets.com. But there’s no need
to have it from both of them, questions from only
one are sufficient I think.
QUESTION NO: 1
You are the network administrator for Abc.com. You
manage a Windows 2003 computer named Abc3 that functions
as a file server. The data volume on Abc3 is mirrored.
Each physical disk is on a separate controller. One
of the hard disks that contains the data volume fails.
You discover that the failure was caused by a faulty
SCSI controller. You replace the SCSI controller.
You need to restore the data volume to its previous
state. You want to achieve this goal by using the
minimum amount of administrative effort. What should
you do?
A. Run the diskpart active command on the
failed volume
B. Convert both disks to basic disks, and then restore
the data.
C. Break the mirror, and then re-create the mirror.
D. Select a disk in the mirror, and then reactivate
the volume.
Answer: D
Explanation:
To restore the volume, replace the failed disk, rescan
the disks, and reactivate the disk. If this doesn't
make the volume healthy again, then right-click the
volume and choose Reactivate Volume. The computer
will chug away for a couple of minutes, rebuilding
the missing data with the parity information on the
remaining disks, and the stripe set will be back in
one piece. Thus if you select a disk in the mirror
and then reactivate the volume you will solve the
problem in this case.
Incorrect answers:
A: Replaces the FDISK tool with which you're probably
familiar. Creates or deletes disk partitions. Only
use this command on basic disks-it can damage dynamic
disks. This is not what is needed here.
B: This is unnecessary.
C: There is no need to break the mirror since the
problem only arose due to a failed SCSOI controller.

QUESTION NO: 2
You are the network administrator for Abc.com. Your
network consists of a single Active Directory domain
named abc.com. All network servers run Windows Server
2003. You use Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) to
monitor all servers. An e-mail server named MailABC1
is located at a remote data center. MailABC1 runs
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. MailABC1 restarts
unexpectedly during business hours. The event log
indicates a problem with the SCSI CD-ROM. You need
to ensure that MailABC1 remains continuously available
during business hours. What should you do?
A. Use Device Manager to disable the SCSI
CD-ROM.
B. Create and implement a new hardware profile to
exclude the SCSI CD-ROM.
C. Use Device Manager to update the driver for the
SCSI CD-ROM.
D. Use Device Manager to update the driver for the
SCSI controller.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The problem lies with the SCSI CD-ROM as indicated
by the Event Log. This means that if you circumvent
the problem you will avoid the problem of MailABC1
restarting at unexpected times. Thus you only need
to disable the SCSI CD-ROM and not remove it. You
can enable and disable devices for a specific
hardware profile through their properties dialog boxes
in Device Manager.
Incorrect answers:
B:It is not necessary to create a new hardware profile.
C:Updating the driver may solve the problem. However,
disabling the device will make sure of it.
D: Updating the driver for the SCSI controller by
making use of Device Manager will not solve the problem
of the server starting unexpectedly.

QUESTION NO: 3
You are the network administrator for Abc.com. The
network consists of a single Active Directory domain
abc.com. All network servers run Windows Server 2003.
Abc operates 10 branch offices in addition to the
main office. Each branch office has one filer server
with two logical disks, P:\ and U:\. Each disk has
a capacity of 20 GB. For each department in the branch
office, P:\ hosts one folder in which departmental
users save shared documents. For all users in the
branch office, U:\ hosts home folders. The main office
includes a network operations center that monitors
servers and network status. However, branch office
users frequently report that their servers have no
more disk space. In such cases, local support technicians
log on to the servers and delete unnecessary files.
You need to create a proactive monitoring strategy
for the network operations center. Monitoring must
alert the network operations center before the branch
office servers run out of disk space. Monitoring must
also report which disks on the servers are approaching
capacity. The monitoring strategy must require the
minimum amount of administrative effort. What should
you do?
A. Configure a server in the main office
to report performance alters on the branch office
servers.
Use the logicaldisk(_total)\ &Free Space counter
to indicate when free space is less than 5 percent.
Use the logicaldisk(_total)\Free megabytes counter
to indicate when free space is less than 100 MB.
B. On each branch office server, create a performance
alert.
Use the logicaldisk(_total)\ %Free Space counter to
indicate when free space is less than 5 percent.
Use the logicaldisk(_total)\Free megabytes counter
to indicate when free space is less than 1000 MB.
C. Configure a server in the main office to report
performance alerts on the branch office servers.
Use the logicaldisk(P)\ %Free Space counter and the
logicaldisk(U)\ %Free Space counter to indicate when
free space is less than 5 percent.
D. On each branch office server, create a performance
alert.
Use the logicaldisk(P)\ %Free Space counter and the
logicaldisk(U)\ %Free Space counter to indicate when
free space is less than 5 percent.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The monitoring must alert the network operations centre
before the branch office servers run out of disk space
and monitoring must also report which disks on the
servers are approaching capacity. LogicalDisk: % Free
Space is a counter that indicates the amount of free
space available on the disk as a percentage of the
total disk capacity. Paging problems can occur if
you have little disk space to which the system can
swap data out of memory, and operating system errors
can occur if the partition on which the OS is installed
becomes too full.
Incorrect Answers:
A:It is necessary is to know which disks are near
capacity, so we cannot monitor the total disk space
- we must monitor the individual logical disks.
B:We need to know which disks are near capacity, so
we cannot monitor the total disk space - we must monitor
the individual logical disks.
D:The monitoring must alert the network operations
centre before the branch office servers run out of
disk space; therefore, the monitoring should be done
from the main office.

You are the network administrator for Abc.com. You
administer a Windows Server 2003 computer named Abc5.
The hardware vendor for Abc5 notifies you that a critical
hotfix is available. This hotfix is required for all
models of this computer that have a certain network
interface card. You need to find out if the network
interface card that requires the hotfix is installed
in Abc5. What are two possible ways to achieve this
goal? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
Choose two.)
A. Open Network Connections, and then examine
the properties of each connection that is listed.
B. Open the Component Services snap-in, expand Computers,
expand My Computer, and then examine the list.
C. Run the netsh interface command, and then examine
the list.
D. Open Device Manager, expand Network adapters, and
then examine the list.
Answer: A, D
Explanation:
A: The Network Connections tab contains settings for
network connections and a Wizard to create new connections.
From there you will be able to examine the properties
of each connection that is listed. This will reveal
if the network interface card that requires the hotfix
is installed on Abc5.
D: The Device Manager utility is a graphically-based
utility that provides information about all of the
devices that your computer currently recognizes. Through
Device Manager, you can see a summary of all of the
currently installed hardware; view and change hardware
settings; view, uninstall, update, or roll back a
device driver; disable and enable devices; and print
a summary of all of the hardware devices that have
been installed on your computer. You can also run
the Hardware Troubleshooting Wizards from Device Manager.
If you make use of Device Manager and then expand
the Network Adapters tab, you will be able to find
out if the appropriate network interface card is installed
on Abc5.
Incorrect answers:
B: This option will not display the relevant information
needed.
C: You can use commands in the Netsh Interface IP
context to configure the TCP/IP protocol (including
addresses, default gateways, DNS servers, and WINS
servers) and to display configuration and statistical
information.

QUESTION NO: 5
You are the network administrator for Abc.com. All
network servers run Windows Server 2003. The network
includes a file server named Abc17. Abc17 contains
a single disk for system files and two SCSI hard disks
that comprise a 72-GB mirrored volume with 65 GB of
read-only data. Users connect to this data by using
shortcuts on their desktops. Abc17 is scheduled for
replacement. You have a scheduled maintenance window
to complete this task. Before the maintainance window,
you build a new server. You need to bring the new
server online with current data and re-establish redundancy
as quickly as possible. You must also ensure that
the desktop shortcuts will continue to functions.
What should you do?
A. Name the new server Abc20. Create a new
mirrored volume by using two 72-GB disks. Connect
Abc20 to the network and copy the data from Abc17.
When copying is complete, shut down the old Abc17.
B. Name the new server Abc17. Move both disks from
the old Abc17 to the new Abc17. Scan the disks for
changes. Connect the new Abc17 to the network.
C. Name the new server Abc17. Break the mirror on
the old Abc17. Move one of the disks from the old
Abc17 to the new Abc17. Scan the disk for changes.
Initialize the disk. Select the spare disk and create
the mirror. Connect the new Abc17 to the network.
D. Name the new server Abc17. Remove one of the disks
in the mirror from the old Abc17. Move the disk to
the new Abc17. Scan the disk for changes. Import the
disk. Shut down the old Abc17 and connect the new
Abc17 to the network.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The "Scan For Hardware Changes" option allows
you to force a manual scan to see if any new hardware
changes have been detected. To be able to bring the
server online with the current data and re-establishing
redundancy as soon as possible whilst ensuring that
desktop shortcuts stay functional, you will need to
give the same name to the new server, namely Abc17
and use the two disks from the old Abc17.
You should then scan it for any changes and then connect
the new Abc17 to the network.
Incorrect answers:
A: There is no need to create a new mirrored volume
in this case. Besides where will you get the two new
disks from to copy the existing data of Abc17 onto.
What is needed is to use the old Abc17 disks to provide
continuity for users insofar as disktop shortcuts
are concerned.
C & D: This is not necessary. All that has to
be done is touse the existing Abc17 disks and put
them on the newly created and named Abc17 server.
Scanning the disk for changes and then connecting
new Abc17 to the network.
