Default 70-290 Help


I'm looking for a little help for the 70-290 exam.

I took the test yesterday (missed by 24 lousy points!) Oh well, study,
study, study and try again.

I got a simulator that gave me some trouble. I'm sure I'm missing one task
(that is probablyvery simple and obvious), but here goes ....

The forest contains 2 domains (both operating at Win 2k native mode). there
is a 'sales' distribution group in one of the domains in AD. 3 tasks are
requires:

1) add new users (already in AD) to the distribution group (no problem)
2) modify the group to allow access to network resources (no problem)
3)modify group to include users from the second domain in AD (couldn't get it)

any thoughts?

Only that I used to think Forests contained trees.

The group is probably a global distribution group. Global groups can only
contain users from the same domain. To include users from the second domain,
you need to first change the scope from global to universal.

Will,

Thanks, that was my first thought and exactly what I did. I still could not
include user from the other domain. In fact, after making that mod, I
attempted to add members to the group. The location is focused on the
currentdomain but greyed and pressing the location button produces no result.

Entering the fully quailfied name (Domain\user (or group)) produces a "Name
not found".

You are violating the test aggreement with this post, and should thus not
be allowed to certify.

Hi Ole,

Though I agree with you that it is forbidden to discuss questions, wouldn't
it be more beneficial to help the new people by explaining the rules rather
than just jumping on them with 'You should not be certified'?

Just a thought...

Thanks, I have been contemplating my response to this.

In fact, I am not a newbie to the computer industry... I have 32 years
experience, everything from operations & data center management, programming,
desktop and server support to LAN/WAN infrastructure implementation.

I have grown up in this indeustry and throughout my years, I have worked in
a team environment and what one person did nit know or had trouble with, a
colleague helped (we shared knowledge!) Had I worded the question to the
group as a problem in the workplace, I wonder if the response may have been
different.

I made an assumption that this community was in fact a support vehicle for
those working toward certification. I've seen several posters that tout their
certification and offer no help to the "community". I wonder what kind of
team players these folks are.

I apologize for my disregard for the testing agreement, but the scenario as
described is something that I have encountered in the workplace without issue
and had no issue with performing this task. Just thought I ask this
"community" for ideas.

Peter,

The point is only that discussing questions that you faced on the test,
amounts to a violation of the test NDA that you signed, before taking
the exam. This is because you are disclosing a question to those who
might not have taken the exam yet.

If you had asked the question as a general one, and not mentioned that
you had this question on the exam, I'm sure the response would have
been different.

People here are helpful in their own capacities, and I see no reason
for you to be disillusioned.

Hi Peter,

I agree with Cerebrus that you are not allowed to disclose questions and
answers to exam questions. I do not agree with people who flout their
credentials without offering help. I do believe in helping rather than
putting people down. However Cerebrus is also right in that we are not
allowed to discuss actual questions.

I hope you realize that not everyone in the community (it really is a
community!) is like that, an that you stick around for a while.

As for the newbie comment I apologize if I offended you, but I did not mean
newbie to computers, only newbie to the Microsoft certification process.

Speaking of which, I am late to deliver a lecture on the new generation of
certs so I am off!

Well if you have any problem with MCSE cert exam 70-290, you can go for
as much as practice questions. I can suggest you that you can follow
