You have two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2003 Service Pack (SP2).

You connect a USB drive to Server1 and copy several files to the USB drive.

You connect the USB drive to Server2.

You receive a message that the drive installed successful and is ready to use.

You open Windows Explorer and the USB drive does not appear.

You need to ensure that you can access the files stored on the USB drive.

What should you do?

You have a server that runs Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) and is configured as a domain controller.

You run Windows Update and install a number of device drivers. You restart the server. During the startup process, the server stops.
You receive the following stop error message:
0x000000D1 (0x0000000c, 0x00000002, 0x00000000,0xf27b4e8e) IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

You need to identify which device or service is causing the error.

What should you do?

You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2). Server1 runs a custom database application.

The database files are stored on drive D. Server1 experiences a power failure. Upon restart, the database engine reports that the log files fail to replay because a log file is corrupt. You need to minimize the risk of a log file becoming corrupt if the power fails.

What should you do?

You have a file server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2). Server1has one basic disk that contains one partition.

You monitor the PhysicalDisk : Avg. Disk Bytes/Read counter for one year and discover that the value has decreased by 25 percent.
You need to increase the disk performance of Server1.

What should you do?

You have a print server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2003 Service Pack (SP2).

Server1 is configured as shown in the following table.

All the hard disks are 136 GB and are connected to a SCSI controller. You need to identify which disk configuration will provide the best performance for printing.

Which disk configuration should you implement?

Your network contains an application server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2003 Service Pack (SP2).

You open the Performance tab in Task Manager as shown in the exhibit.

You need to improve the performance of Server1. What should you do?

Exhibit:

Your network contains a database server that runs Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition Service Pack 2 (SP2).

The server has 1 GB of RAM and a single hard disk. Queries against the databases on the server are very slow. You discover that the hard disk on the server is very active.
You are evaluating whether to add RAM to the server. You need to use System Monitor to find out whether adding RAM will decrease disk activity.

Which performance counter should you monitor?

Your network contains a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2003 Service Pack (SP2).

You install a new network adapter on Server1. You need to view the media access control (MAC) address for the new network adapter.

What should you do?

Your network contains a database server named Server1.

Server1 runs the 32 bit version of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 2 (SP2) and has 16 GB of RAM.

On Server1, you open Task Manager and discover that the total physical memory shows only 4 GB of RAM.

You need to ensure that Server1 has access to all 16 GB of RAM.

What should you do?

Your network contains a database server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2).

Server1 has the following hardware configurations:
A single processor that supports hyper threading Dual processor motherboard
Two hard disks
2 GB of RAM

The first disk contains all the files for the operating system and applications. The second disk is empty. Hyper threading is disabled in the BIOS. Users report a slow response when they query the database on Server1.

You monitor Server1 for one day and receive the performance statistics shown in the following table.

You need to improve database performance. What should you do?
