Jolly vs. ITT Tech

[JollyRoger]

Question 2.) Which of the following are characteristics of a Windows client-server network?
A. One computer holds security and login information.
B. All of the computers are typically used as user workstations.
C. This network has very tight security.
D. This type of network utilizes a domain structure.
E. This type of network utilizes a workgroup structure.

Answers: A,C,D. (Now with that in mind I didn't circle 'C' and thus got three points taken off. What the Deuce! ZW, you're right it specified 'Windows Client-server, thus cancelling 'C' as a possiblity.)

Question 3.) A computer tha can have different desktop setups for different users is utilizing what?
A. local accounts
B. profiles
C. domain accounts
D. sneakernet

Answer: B (Now here is the clincher I circled A, and C, I meant to catch B but I am not sure waht happened, But I got 5 points off. now I realize that B is the complete answer but A and C work because Domain accounts can store personal desktop settings, and local accounts can too. but he said it was wrong. my book doesn't specify either way.Now to and insault to injury another person in my class only circle A and he had no points taken off!

Question 5.) Which of the following are typically required with a peer to peer network?
A. A workgroud
B. A network administrator
C. A domain
D. A network operating system
E. Shared folderon individule hard drives.

Answer: A,D,E (now I only circled A and E because it says "typically needed" thus make D inot applical as a right or wrong answer, heck if yo want to get technical you can make a Peer to Peer with just software. so for this I got  3 points off for not circling D.

That would be the one thing where I would agree with the instructor.  You MUST have a NOS.  otherwise there is no Peer to Peer, only Peer.  The difference between a NOS and an OS is that a NOS is capable of connecting to external resources, whereas an OS is only capable of connecting to itself.

Sorry, he does have it right there.

Something tells me that I would go nuts in this class.  But then I doubt they would make me take it.

i was looking at the paper.....quetion 3 is a jip.....there are many awsers to that one

[JollyRoger]

So how do you explain a win 98 box networked with 3 other Win 98 boxs sharing files with no server.
or seting up peer to peer File sharing between two computers say with win 98 as the OS
in both cases where is the NOS

ALL the Windows since Win95 have been NOSes.  

The last OS that M$ put out was DOS.

The rest are actually NOSes because they are network capable by default.

I would have to say that E on question 5 is wrong.  You don't have to have shared folders to have a peer to peer network....how about just sharing a printer?  Isn't that a peer to peer network?  Or perhaps a game?  No folders have to be shared to have peer to peer game play. To be truly accurate, number five's answer should be A or C and D. But not A and C and D because A and C are mutually exclusive.

I would definitely throw a fit with question 2 answer C.  See this Link

That one is pretty bogus!

[Morpheus]

And help me out with sneakernet....how is that a viable answer for having multiple profiles on one machine?

[JollyRoger]

Please don't ask, I have a clue why Sneakernet was even there.
And yes I agree with question two and 'C' being a wrong answer. Very tight indeed.
