2008 server r2 question

I am currently studying for the MS exam 70-646 on windows 2008 r2. As such, I do not expect you to provide me with full solutions, but guidance only. One of the questions is discussing the installation of a 2008 R2 Server. This will be a member server, 8 CPUs, 32GB of RAM, three stand-alone DFS shares. The question says they will use Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise and make use of the Server Core version, and wants to know if this configuration will work.

Member server, 8 CPU, 32GB RAM are all good for 2008 R2 Enterprise.

The question comes down to the 'three stand-alone DFS shares'.  Is the question actually 'shares' or is it 'namespaces'?

i am also stuck in one thing .what about converting users and local policies NT to Windows 2008 R2?
You may want to state all the facts, as the question you asked has been answered by a few of us and now you've added a little more into the mix.

Also a little odd why your MS exam is requiring you to know that far back to NT, should only be referencing back to Windows 2000. Are you following the official MS exam materials or some other literature?

You have been responsible for upgrading the company's Primary Domain Controller (PDC) with operating system Windows NT4 to Windows 2008 Enterprise (not Core).
How can you in the easiest possible way to measure the hardware running on the PDC meets the requirements for this installation?
What is your opinion on converting users and local policies NT to Windows 2008 R2?

and there  is another question

You are set to install the first Windows 2008 R2 server in the domain. It should be enrolled in an existing 2003 domain. This server will be an application server that only activate the services it is set to answer calls when in fact be calling, has 8 CPUs and 32 GB of RAM, and is planned that will offer three stand-alone DFS share. Windows 2008 Enterprise Core is proposed. Do you think the solution as it is proposed will work or not? Why?

ok can you please help me with this one?


company has set up a department oriented OUstruktur, where all the resources and users in an OU is set to a separate site. This site has no ITavdeling. Account for the difference between the use of an RODC and a stub zone in DNS for this website. What would you choose and why? Take the necessary prerequisites.

i need guidence only

ok but what should i choose and why?
You have been the facts, you need to read and make a judgement call, that is after all your question to answer.

We have provided you with a pointer in the right direction with the help of a simple Google. You need to understand the technologies you're using and their differences.
Agreed.

A few keywords in Google will point you to the information you need to be able to form your own answers to the questions.  After all, they are asking for your opinion, not ours.
