1. You are the administrator of a central SMS site server. You have just noticed that the system status indicates a large number of Collection Evaluator errors, inventory resynchronization requests, and SQL Monitor errors on a primary site with the sitecode CH2. You think that the SMS site database of site CH2 might be corrupt. Which SQL command can you use to verify your suspicion?

A) SP_CONFIGURE

B) DBCC CHECKDB

C) DBCC MEMUSAGE

D) DBCC SQLPERF

 

Correct Answer(s):   B) DBCC CHECKDB

Explanation:

Answer b is correct. You can check database or table integrity using DBCC CHECKDB (answer b), DBCC CHECKTABLE, or DBCC CHECKCATALOG. SP_CONFIGURE is a stored procedure-calling function that is used for many SQL configuration operations, but not for consistency and integrity checking.


Therefore, answer a is incorrect. Some database consistency checker (DBCC) functions are used for statistical purposes: DBCC MEMUSAGE and DBCC SQLPERF are two of them.

Therefore, answers c and d are incorrect.


2. You want to use Performance Monitor to analyze the utilization of all your network segments. Which of the following should you install?


A) SNMP Service

B) Simple TCP/IP Services

C) Remote Tools

D) Network Monitor


Correct Answer(s):   D) Network Monitor

Explanation:

Answer d is correct. The network segment object (with a percentage Network Utilization performance counter) is available in Performance Monitor only after you install Network Monitor. This is a trick question because Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is also a required service for some Performance Monitor functionality. It is required to monitor Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) statistics on the network

interface card (NIC). However, SNMP is not required to monitor segment utilization, so answer a is incorrect. Simple TCP/IP Services and Remote Tools are not required to use Performance Monitor. Therefore, answers b and c are incorrect.


3. In which of the following cases should you install one SMS hierarchy with multiple sites? [Choose all correct answers]


A) Two locations are connected via a fast WAN link. Each site is managed by its own administrator.

B) Two locations with different language settings are connected via a fast WAN link.

C) Two groups of users that require different client configurations are located on different segments of a fast routed LAN.

D) Two groups of users that require different client configurations are on one IPX network. All of the users are serviced by a single NetWare 3.12 server.


Correct Answer(s):   B) Two locations with different language settings are connected via a fast WAN link.

C) Two groups of users that require different client configurations are located on different segments of a fast routed LAN.


Explanation:

Answers b and c are correct. A configuration that requires multiple language settings requires a multisite hierarchy. In addition, two groups of users, requiring different client settings, that are located on separate IP segments must be separated into two SMS sites. Answer a is incorrect because only a slow wide area network (WAN) link requires a multiple site hierarchy.

Having one administrator for each location is not a requirement for

multiple sites either; the security features of SMS allow for very granular management settings. Answer d appears to be no different from answer c, but in fact it is very different. You need to recognize that clients located on the same Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network can be split into two SMS sites and use different client settings. Unfortunately, only one NetWare

3.12 server is mentioned in answer d and it cannot be shared between two sites. Answer d would be a good candidate for a multisite hierarchy if it mentioned an additional NetWare server.

 

4. Which of the following optional SMS features are installed during Express primary site installation? [Choose all correct answers]


A) SMS Installer

B) NetWare NDS support

C) SNMP Service

D) Software Metering console

E) IE 4.01 (SP1)


Correct Answer(s): A) SMS Installer

B) NetWare NDS support

D) Software Metering console


Explanation:


Answers a (SMS Installer), b (NetWare NDS support), and d (Software Metering console) are correct. Only answers a, b, and d list optional SMS features and all of them are installed during Express setup.

Answers c and e don't list SMS features. Therefore, they are incorrect.
