Today I passed with 958 in 25 min ,I prepared from www.examcheets.com I had no probs in my test Exam 70-224, Exchange Server 2000

1.The Manager of your company grants access to her mailbox to her assistant using Outlook 2000 as a mail client. The assistant reports that she cannot access the manager’s mailbox despite several attempts of logging off and on. How would you, as the Exchange administrator, allow the assistant access?

a. Ensure that access to private items has been specified in Outlook 2000
b. Ensure that Editor permissions have been granted to the assistant in Outlook 2000. (Would allow access using outlook)
c. Use Active Directory Users and Computers Console to modify the manager’s account to allow Full mailbox access permission to the assistant.
d. Use Active Directory Users and Computers Console to modify the manager’s account to allow Read mailbox access permission to the assistant.

Answer:- D

As an administrator you should not log on as the Manager and instead reset the permissions using Exchange. Only access is required not full functionality, ie send as etc, so I would opt for D

B almost implies that you need to ensure ie. ask the Manager what permissions he set and change them to Editor as required. The question strongly implies that “you as the administrator” must fix and perhaps not involve the manager.

You can grant or deny permissions for a mailbox-enabled user, or mail-enabled user or group, that enables them to access another's mailbox. This is helpful when you want to enable a user or group to have permissions to another's mailbox. You can remove a mailbox-enabled user, or mail-enabled user or group, from Name on the Mailbox Rights tab. Double-click the user or group for whom you are granting or denying permissions. On the Exchange Advanced tab, click Mailbox Rights. On the Mailbox Rights tab, in Name, select a user or group. In Permissions, select the Allow or Deny check boxes for the appropriate mailbox permissions.

2. You are the Exchange administrator for your company. You are required to develop a backup and restoration solution. The Exchange server has a single storage group with two Mailbox Stores and a Public Folder Store. The backup and recovery solution must accomplish the following:

Mailbox databases must be backed up each night.
Public folder databases must be backed up weekly.
Transaction log files must be purged weekly.
Which two backups must be performed from the list provided below?

a. Nightly normal backup of the entire Storage Group.
b. Nightly incremental backup of the entire Storage Group.
c. Weekly differential backup of the entire Storage Group.
d. Weekly normal backup of the entire Storage Group.
e. Nightly normal backup of the mailbox databases.
f. Weekly incremental backup of the mailbox databases.

Answer:- D E

3.You are responsible for the administration of a network, configured with Server 2000 and Exchange Server 2000. The users have reported that mailbox access speed has reduced significantly. Using the Task Manager utility on the Exchange 2000 Server computer you note the following results: CPU 88%, Memory total 217940, Available 15900.Process indicator shows disk I/O reads above normal. All components are functioning correctly. What step is required to solve the problem?

a. Install more RAM.
b. Install another CPU.
c. Move the mailbox store to a RAID5 disk array.
d. Install another network adapter.

Install more RAM. (This would improve the over-all performance of the Server, however an increase may also increase the load on the hard drives for log file writes)Install another CPU.(Although the CPU is over the threshold of 80%, this could be a result of insufficient RAM- causing more paging, or inadequate hard drive configuration causing more demand on the hard drives for read write queues) Move the mailbox store to a RAID5 disk array.(As per explanation)Install another network adapter. (The Task manager utility does not offer any information on data transfers through the network card)
The speed of the exchange database depends significantly on the how quickly data can be copied from memory to the transaction log. An indication that the RAM is almost fully utilized may not mean the lack thereof, but moreover the bottleneck of attempting to write data to the hard drives that are accommodating both logs and stores. RAID-5 volumes have better read performance than mirrored volumes, this strategy is recommended over mirrored volumes for applications that require redundancy and are primarily read-oriented. Also, a write operation requires three times more memory than a read operation during normal operation. For optimum performance, each set of transaction logs should be placed on a separate drive. Because each storage group has its own set of transaction logs, the number of dedicated transaction log drives for your server should equal the number of planned storage groups. Although it is possible to have multiple sets of transaction logs on the same drive, server performance may decline significantly. To optimize performance, dedicate separate physical drives for the log files of your storage groups. When each set of log files has its own physical drive, server performance improves. To optimize fault tolerance of the log files, use hardware mirroring with redundant array of independent drives

Answer:- C

4. You are the administrator of your company’s network. The manager requests that a list of new employees be immediately added to your Exchange 2000 organization. You add the new employees, and immediately call the executive to inform him that they have been added. He attempts to verify this but cannot see them in the Global Address List. What can you do to force the new users to appear in the GAL?

a. Stop and restart the System Attendant Service.
b. Force the Recipient Update Service to update immediately.
c. Force Active Directory connector to update Exchange immediately.
d. Force the Directory Service to update immediately from another server.

Answer:- B

5.You are the Exchange administrator of a Windows 2000 network. You are configuring an Exchange Server 2000 environment for the support of over 9000 IMAP users. You are implementing twelve Windows 2000 server computers. You do not want the mailbox servers to perform authentication. How should Exchange servers be configured?

a. Install four Windows 2000 domain controllers and eight Exchange 2000 mailbox member servers. Configure load balancing among the Exchange servers.
b. Install twelve domain controllers. Install Exchange 2000 Server on six of the domain controllers. Configure load balancing among the Exchange servers.
c. Install six Windows 2000 domain controllers. Install Exchange 2000 Server on two of the domain controllers and configure them as front-end servers. Install the Exchange 2000 mailbox member servers and configure load balancing between the Exchange front-end servers.
d. Install two Windows 2000 domain controllers. Install the Exchange 2000 mailbox member servers. Configure load balancing among the Exchange front-end servers.

Answer:- C
