I'm currently taking the tests that come with the MS training kit in study
mode and two of the questions I've come across are very poorly worded.

Here's an example (paraphrased for brevity):


QUESTION
Admin shuts down stand alone servers to install hardware. When servers come
up, the Add New Hardware wizard appears. Admin goes through wizard, but
process fails because driver cannot be installed. Admin looks at Driver
Signing settings in System properties. Driver signing setting is set to
Block with other options dimmed. Admin wants to install unsigned driver.
What action should he/she take?

ANSWERS (select all that apply)
a) Admin should reconfigure domain GPO and set Unsigned Driver Installation
Behavior policy to Warn But Allow Installation.
b) Admin should reconfigure the GPO applied to the OU that the servers are
members of and set the Unsigned Driver Installation Behavior policy to Warn
But Allow Installation.
c) Admin should check the Administrator Option/Make This Action The System
Default check box in the Driver Signing Options dialog box, accessible from
the System Properties. This will enable her to switch the option from Block
to Warn
d) Admin should reconfigure the local GPO and set the Unsigned Driver
Installation Behavior policy to Warn but Allow Installation.
e) Admin should reconfigure the GPO assigned to the site that the servers
are set up in and set the Unsigned Driver Installation Behavior policy to
Warn But Allow Installation.



Based on what I saw on my test server set up, I chose d) only. I went back
and specifically checked: you do NOT have to check the Administrator
Option/Make This Action... setting to switch from Block to Warn.

Here's what I want to know

1) Has anyone worked with the practice tests from the MS kit? If so, have
you found poorly worded (or incorrect) questions such as this?
2) Are poorly worded questions like this on the actual exams? If so, is
there any way to contest if you fail because of several poorly worded
questions?

Hi dude.

Yes, some questions are just bad designed as this one and I can say more,
you can expect graphical questions as well and with a bad design too. Don't
expect to have any feed back on that, I've tried many times.

I'd also choose answer C, it looks the correct one for me. What is the
correct answer as per MS kit?

Answers A, B and E talk about GPO, but in the very beggining of the
question, it says the server is stand alone.
Answer D directs to local GPO, but I've never found that option actually,
have you?

Actually, the answer is C AND D. Both answers are correct.

I have. You run gpedit.msc and you can edit the local group policy object.

Some of the questions do stink, but as we find that a vendor is creating bad
questions, we don't use them anymore, so the quality of the questions are
getting better and will continue to get better. We also do have the author
review the questions, but reading that many questions in a short time is
tedious (I cna say from experience), and some bad questions slip through.

For this question though, I like it. If someone did not select A, B, and E,
then they know that there is a domain-based policy and the three places they
can be applied are at the domain, OU, or Site, and would likely (hopefully)
know the order of application (very important to troubleshooting group
policy problems). C and D are both valid options, so if the person does not
know which is correct, then they could experiment and find out, and in the
process get more time with the interface and group policy, and learn
something that will be useful once they go to work.

With our exams, the questions are written to cover a number of areas of
knowledge, so this question is a good representation of what you need to
know.
My 2c only,

Agreed. Myself selected only answer C, but I see D is also correct after
testing the option.
I like the way the exams are designed but some ones, mainly the graphic
ones, are badly done... The coolest and most exciting was 70-216, killed in
the 1st shoot

I'm sorry then Mis and agree that D is also correct, I just tested it

I posted this to another group, but I just wanted to note here that c) is
NOT a valid option, as you do not have to check the Administrative Option in
order to switch from Block to Warn.
I tested it on my 2003 domain controller and you do not have to check that
option in order to make the switch.
