 Dear Mr. Emmanuel

Tell them that you have 400 pc based network, and you configure a Active
Directory domain on windows servers to centralize administration tasks.

1) How windows server will configure?

Its depends on the role of the server. If you installing Active Directory, you have
to run DCPROMO on commond prompt, and followed instructions.
Over all its depends on the role.

Simply you can say– there is an option in windows “Manage Server” once you
follow the instructions it will guide you to configure your server.
2) How many types of servers?
If they are concern with Hardware server, tell them the hardware configuration
and vendor of the server.
If they are asking about the types of windows server, tell them Standard,
enterprise, or Small business server etc.

Question 2: What must be done to an AD forest before Exchange can be

deployed? - Setup /forestprep

question 2 is incorrect, in order for ms exchange 2k or 2003 to be sucessfully

“deployed” both forestprep and domain prep must successfuly complete first,
before the setup.exe of the actual exchange install, or the install and will error out
if attempted.

most of these are terrible questions for a general windows/AD sysadmin. They’re
bookish, not realistic; the kind of thing one looks up if one doesn’t use every day.
Also, too many of the questions are focused on exchange. For example, we
outsource exchange, so a windows sysadmin here wouldn’t be asked any of those
questions…

 what are diff between outlook & outlook express ????

Outlook Express

Outlook Express is the e-mail client that is included with Microsoft Internet
Explorer 4.x, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x, the Microsoft Windows 98
operating system, the Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me) operating
system, the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating systems, and Microsoft Office 98
for the Macintosh. Outlook Express is designed for home users who gain access to
their e-mail messages by dialing in to an Internet service provider (ISP).

Outlook
Outlook is Microsoft’s premier messaging and collaboration client. It is a stand-
alone application that is integrated into Microsoft Office and Exchange Server.
Outlook also provides performance and integration with Internet Explorer 5.5.
Complete integration of e-mail, calendaring, and contact management, makes
Outlook the perfect client for many business users.

Advantages of WINS: WINS will be really helofull in a multidomain environment

where in user’s would need to access many of the resources in different domains,
rathere than adding different DNS suffixes of each domain on the local machine.
WINS is the best option. But i could also say WINS is not as stable as DNS.
