120.0. "NT4.0 Server in the Enterprise" by OGBON::t2.tunnel.sno.dec.com::gordon (Des Gordon@sno) Fri Apr 25 1997 09:22

G'day,

I did the NT4.0 Server in the enterprise exam a few weeks back. For 
anyone interested the course material doesn't really cover you for 
the exam. You really need to know the material from the other NT 
courses you may get one or two questions relating to the course, 
usually simple questions on network monitor or setting up a system 
for debug.

Sorry I usually forget the questions as soon as I walk out - plus 
that was a 3 exam week :)

    Cheryl,
    	just in case you are not aware, you cannot complete your MCSE with
    a mix of NT 3.51 and NT 4. You must stick to one or the other.
    
    Rich.

    Can't remember the number of questions but the pass mark was 784.

    As I remember it the questions were relatively straightforward but
    there was a lot of screen handling necessary. I know it was one of the
    few tests I have taken where time felt tight.
    	
    >>I have been on the NT3.51 Server course and want to know what extra
    >>reading material if any can be suggested.
    
    I did both NT server v4 exams a couple of months ago using only my 3.51
    course notes from ~18 months ago as a basis for revision. I would 
    recommend augmenting this with the Microsoft self paced CD, 'Upgrading 
    to Windows NT 4.0' and make sure that you are familiar with the new UI.

    Also check out the beta exam reviews in http://www.mcpmag.com/members
    /96novdec/col2main.htm.

    >>ps. did the course over a year ago but never sat the exam and now
    >>going for NT4.0

    As .2 suggests, be aware of the differing requirements but don't be put
    off going for the v4 certification. I certainly found the v4 server
    exams to be both more relevant and less ambiguous than the v3.51 one.

    Good luck,

    Pete 
    
120.4Kirk to Enterprise...RDGENG::ATTWOOLThu May 01 1997 17:1117
    
    The Enterprise exam is a mixed bag exam. I found that it covered
    high-level ( generic concepts ) down to specific Domain performance 
    registry settings.
    
    Plus a couple of questions that had nothing to do with using NT in the
    enterprise... e.g. Recovering a incorrect printout. That was a real
    stupid question.
    
    Don't be put of with the big long winded questions, save them till
    you've answered the short questions.
                               
    Yep go for it !!

    years of implementing/using NT and a lot of reading !)
120.5Which Materials to Study?AKOCOA::sixpak.ako.dec.com::tranWed May 07 1997 19:3921
Hi!

I'm preparing for the NT 4.0 and NT 4.0 Enterprise exams.
(Only two left!)

Does anyone have suggestions on what prep materials I need
for these exams?

I currently am using the NT 4.0 Server Resource Guide and
NT 4.0 Workstation Resource (the Server Guide references
the Workstation Guide on several topics/chapters).  

Also, in the Server Kit, there are two other books; one on 
IIS and another is the Networking Guide.  For those that
have taken the NT 4.0 & Enterprise Exams ... are these
other guides relevant/pertinent to the exam (i.e. should
I read them as well)?

Thanks for any help/advice!

G'day,

I only did one of the course for NT 4 andthat was the enterprise 
server, I don't think this course was all that relevent to the exams. 
I did have the core technologies course notes however and found this 
valuable

 Also read the standard online NT Server books. These provide the 
 vital information regarding RAS and Netware integration.
 Also nice tables for ACLs.

 Don't forget Microsoft want to get people away from Netware
 therefore expect a few Netware questions. Mainly in the NT 4 srv
 exam.

 For the Enterprise exams ensure that you understand trusts.
 Not just the words used but the effects on performance/security.
