hmm. The comp it want back up is a dual gig G4. Unfortuantly the processor wasnt securely fastened and floated around until it tapped and shorted something out. I dont know if the processor is fuct or the motherboard. No way to know unless i get another processor in for a test. I know it will be expensive.

Do any of you know off the top you your head how much a processor for this comp costs?

Another question... how much approximatly am i looking at for a apple laptop battery? 5 year old G4. powerbook 500mhz 1mb cache/128mb/12gb hd/8mb video dvd.

You are the network administrator for a small property management company in Boise, Idaho. The network comprises a single Windows Server 2003 system and 23 Windows XP Professional systems. Active Directory is running at the Windows Server 2003 domain functional level. Earlier this month, you were asked to disable the computer account for a user who was taking a month of leave to care for a sick family member. The user account for the person was not disabled because the user planned to dial in to the network from home while on leave. Now there is talk of the user returning from leave early. If he does return early and goes to use his PC before you have reenabled the computer account, what will happen?

a.

 

He has logged on to the domain from that system before, so he will be able to log on to the local system but will not be able to access domain resources.

b.

 

He has logged on to the domain from that system before, so he will be able to log on and use the domain resources.

c.

 

When he logs on, the computer account will be automatically enabled because his username and password are valid.

d.

 

He will not be able to log on to that system, even though he has logged on to the domain from that system before.

You are the network administrator for an electrical goods distributor in Chicago. The network comprises three Windows Server 2003 systems, two of which are domain controllers. The other is a member server that hosts the sales order-processing database. Active Directory is configured at the Windows Server 2003 domain functional level.

The company has experienced a phenomenal surge in growth that has resulted in the hiring of 24 new employees, bringing the total staff to 114. Your manager has realized that managing all these users, who all work on Windows XP Professional systems, is too much for a single administrator, so he has hired a junior administrator to help with some of the more mundane network management tasks. One day, a request arrives to disable a computer account for a salesperson who is taking a leave of absence. Company policy dictates that while the salesperson is away, both her computer and user account must be disabled. Disabling of computer accounts is not a frequently performed task, but you ask the junior administrator to do it. Unfortunately, he accidentally resets the computer account instead of disabling it. What action, if any, is required before the user can log on again from that computer?

a.

 

The account must be disabled and reenabled.

b.

 

The operating system must be reinstalled on the computer.

c.

 

The account must be reset again while a user with administrative rights is logged on.

d.

 

No action is required.

You are in the process of upgrading the company’s 125 client computers from Windows 98 to Windows XP Professional. Most users will continue to use the same PC hardware, but the operating system will be upgraded. The exception is the Sales department, which will receive brand-new computers running Windows XP Professional. Their existing Windows 98 systems will be donated to a local school and will not be reused within the company. Which of the following do you do to allow the new Windows XP Professional systems to join the domain?

a.

 

Create a new account in Active Directory for each new Windows XP Professional system.

b.

 

Nothing. If the new systems have the same name as the old ones, they will automatically reuse the same computer account.

c.

 

Delete the computer accounts for the existing computer objects, and then create a new computer account for each of the new Windows XP Professional systems using the same system name used for the old systems.

d.

 

In Active Directory Users And Computers, locate the computer accounts for the existing systems, go to the Operating System tab of the properties for the computer object, and type Windows XP Professional in the Version field.

You are the network administrator for a telecommunications company in Mobile, Alabama. The network comprises three Windows Server 2003 systems, all of which are configured as domain controllers. The company employs 134 people, and all of them have a Windows XP Professional system.

One morning, you get a call from a user who has received the following error message:

Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not found. Please try again later. If this message continues to appear, contact your system administrator for assistance.

The user logged on to the system without any problem the previous day, and you have received no other reports of users experiencing problems. You reset the computer account in Active Directory Users And Computers, but the user still cannot connect to log on to the domain. Which of the following do you try next?

a.

 

Disable and reenable the computer account.

b.

 

Disable and reenable the user account.

c.

 

Change the computer system’s membership to a workgroup, and then rejoin it to the domain.

You are the network administrator for a large public relations agency in Detroit. The company has four divisions, each of which is responsible for specific geographical regions internationally. The company operates on four floors of an office building, with each floor occupied by a department. The network comprises four Windows Server 2003 systems, one on each floor, and all of them are configured as domain controllers. Active Directory is operating at the Windows 2000 mixed domain functional level. All of the domain controllers are in the system-created Domain Controllers OU, but each department uses one of the servers as a file and print server, so your manager suggests that the domain controller for each department be moved to the corresponding OU in Active Directory. What issues, if any, can you see with her request?

a.

 

None. The suggestion is easily implemented and requires no additional work other than moving the computer accounts.

b.

 

Domain controller computer accounts must reside in the system-created Domain Controllers OU. They cannot be moved to another OU.

c.

 

The domain controller computer accounts can be moved, but group policies must be implemented on the new OU to provide the same configurations that the domain controllers have in the Domain Controllers OU.

d.

 

The domain functional level must be raised to Windows Server 2003 before the domain controllers can be moved.

You are the network administrator for a small specialty auto parts manufacturer. The network comprises two Windows Server 2003 systems, both of which are configured as domain controllers. Active Directory is operating at the Windows 2000 mixed domain functional level. The company has recently created a new Research and Development department, and 25 new Windows XP Professional systems are being installed in that department. The users in the department will join the domain when they first use their PCs. Rather than have the computer accounts for the department created in the Computers container, you would like to have the computer accounts in the R&D OU so that they can immediately be subject to the group policy applied to that OU. Which of the following do you do to achieve this?

a.

 

Have users create the computer accounts during the domain joining process, and then move them from the Computers container to the R&D OU.

b.

 

Create the computer accounts in the R&D OU, and then have the users join the computers to the domain.

c.

 

Apply the same group policy that is applied to the R&D OU to the Computers container.

d.

 

Direct the users to specify the R&D OU for the computer account creation when they join the computers to the domain.

 

 

 

 

31.

 

You are the network administrator for a small graphic design house in Seattle, Washington. The company also has a sales office in New York with five employees. The network in Seattle comprises two Windows Server 2003 systems, both of which are domain controllers. Active Directory is configured at the Windows 2000 mixed domain functional level. The New York office, which is not yet connected to the Seattle office, is operating its network as a workgroup with a single Windows 2000 Server system providing file and print services. You have just implemented a VPN to create a WAN between the two sites.

The plan is to eventually implement a domain controller in New York for local authentication and disaster recovery purposes. However, the installation of that system must wait until you can travel to New York. In the meantime, one of the more technically capable users in New York has been asked to join the five Windows XP Professional workstations and the Windows 2000 server to the domain. The Windows Server 2003 system will become a member server.

The user is able to join all five of the Windows XP Professional systems to the domain and create the related computer accounts, but he is unable to add the Windows 2000 server system to the domain. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the problem?

a.

 

Users are allowed to create only five computer accounts in Active Directory.

b.

 

The system is a Windows 2000 Server system and cannot be joined to an Active Directory running at the Windows Server 2000 mixed domain functional level.

c.

 

Users can create computer accounts only for workstations, not server systems.

d.

 

Users can create computer accounts only in the Computers container, and a computer account for a server cannot be created in the Computers container.

 

 

 

 

32.

 

You are the network administrator for a corporate finance house in Dallas, Texas. You are designing a network upgrade from a non-Windows operating system to Windows Server 2003. The plan is to have seven Windows Server 2003 systems running Active Directory at the Windows Server 2000 mixed domain functional level. To streamline the process of creating computer accounts and joining them to the domain, you want to create a batch file that can be run to create the computer accounts en masse. You also want to create a batch file that can be sent to users via e-mail, which will allow them to join their computer to the domain. You assign the task of creating the batch file to a junior administrator. She suggests that you use the Netdom utility for both tasks. What issues, if any, do you see with this proposed solution?

a.

 

None. The solution is appropriate and valid.

b.

 

The Netdom utility can be used only to create computer accounts. It cannot be used to join a computer to the domain.

c.

 

The Netdom utility can be used only to join a computer to the domain. It cannot be used to create computer accounts.

The Netdom utility can be used to create computer accounts, but you cannot specify the location in which the computer accounts will be created.

 

 

 

 

33.

 

You are the network administrator for an Internet-based craft supplies retailer. The network comprises three Windows Server 2003 systems, both of which are domain controllers. Active Directory is configured at the Windows 2000 mixed domain functional level. You want to configure the network so that any new computer accounts are created in the Workstations OU because you have created a new group policy and linked it to that OU. Which of the following do you do to make sure all new computer objects are created in that OU?

a.

 

Use Redircmp and specify the Workstations OU as the new default location for computer accounts.

b.

 

Use Dsadd and specify the Workstations OU as the new default location for computer accounts.

c.

 

Use Netdom and specify the Workstations OU as the new default location for computer accounts.

d.

 

Manually create computer accounts in the Workstations OU before the corresponding computer systems join the domain.

 

 

 

Short Answer

 

34. Describe the process by which the existence of a corresponding computer account is verified during user logon.

 

 

 

35. You are the network administrator for a call center in Houston, Texas. You are designing a network upgrade from a non-Windows operating system to Windows Server 2003. The plan is to have four Windows Server 2003 systems running Active Directory at the Windows Server 2003 domain functional level. As part of the design, you want to create a single container to hold all of the computer account objects. Explain how you would reconfigure the default location for the creation of new computer accounts to the newly created OU, and explain why you would perform such a reconfiguration.

I still think Mainter is right- there should be a seperate tech forum. It could have all the gaming, consumer tech, and computer questions all in one spot without having to hunt around Ch. 0.

 

I'm not going to make a petition about it, but I agree that the idea has merit.

Get ad-aware, spybot, and spysweeper, and run them all one after in safemode and turn off system restore at this point because the backups are full of whatever you got anyway so theres no use for them it just keeps it in the system

 

Personally I would format and not bother with an infestation list that long.

Before this thread gets deleted, somebody (Mainter, casek, ???) should try to archive some of the more relevant advice that could be reposted elsewhere.

 

Hopefully, one of you will get this and maybe figure out a way to make that happen.

 

Shit sucks...I don't want to take any sides in this argument, but it would be a huge waste to shitcan everything here without at least going through and saving some of it.

 

I don't have the storage to do it, but if someone could help out it would be for the best.
