Answers (October 12, 2001)
Answer to Question 1
The correct answers are B—ICS; D—The Win2K Server Terminal Services client; and E—Two processors. Win2K doesn't support more than 4GB of RAM. You can install RRAS on Win2K Server machines, but not on Win2K Pro machines.
Answer to Question 2
The correct answers are A—Back up the computer; C—Empty the Temporary Internet Files cache; D—Run the winnt32/checkupgradeonly command to generate an upgrade report; E—Run ScanDisk; F—Uninstall or disable any antivirus software; and G—Upgrade the BIOS.
Microsoft recommends that you take the following additional steps before upgrading:
- Decompress any compressed drives
- Shut down running programs
- Download updated drivers
- Check system requirements
You can convert your drive to NTFS only after you upgrade to Win2K.

Answer to Question 3
The correct answer is D—No Access. To determine a user's effective permission to a network resource, take the following steps:
- Determine the effective share-level permission. The effective share-level permission is the least restrictive permission of all the permissions assigned to a user or to groups to which the user belongs (except the No Access permission, which overrides all other permissions).
- Determine the effective NTFS permission. The effective NTFS permission is the accumulation of all NTFS permissions assigned to the user and to groups to which that user belongs (except any Deny permissions, which override Allow permissions).
- The effective overall permission is the more restrictive of the effective share-level permission and the effective NTFS permission.
