I had appeared for 70-228 last week but I don't understand
why I could not pass and have been diagnosing the Question
till Now. It looks like some questions have 2 answers.

Please verify.

1.You are the administrator of two Mircosoft Windows 2000
computers. One computer is running
Internet Information Services (IIS), and the other is
running SQL Server 2000. Company partners
need to connect by means of the Internet and query data
stored on the SQL Server computer.
Some of these partners have computers that do not use
Microsoft operating systems or Web
browsers. You need to configure the IIS and SQL Server
2000 computers to allow access to data
by means of the IIS virtual directory. IIS uses Basic
Authentication to allow access to the
virtual directory. Only company partners should have
access to the SQL Server computer by means
of the Internet. The partners should be allowed to make ad
hoc queries. You want to be able to
audit successful and failed logins to the SQL Server
computer. You want to allow the partners
access to the SQL Server computer while keeping your
security scheme as simple as possible.
Which two actions should you take? (Each correct answer
represents part of the solution.
Choose two.)

A. Configure the IIS virtual directory to allow URL
queries.
B. Configure the IIS virtual directory to allow template
queries.
C. Create a new Windows user account. Create a
corresponding Windows Authenticated login on the SQL
Server
computer. Configure the IIS virtual directory to always
use this login when connecting to the SQL Server
computer.
D. Create a Windows Authenticated login on the SQL Server
computer for the IIS Internet Guest Account.
Configure the IIS virtual directory to always use the
Internet Guest Account when connecting to the SQL Server
computer.
E. Create a Windows Authenticated login for each company
partner on the SQL Server computer. Configure the IIS
virtual directory to use Windows Integrated Authentication
when connecting to the SQL Server computer.

Answer: AC
Why not A&E ( Choosing E would be more secure since each
company would know its own password)

2. You are the administrator of a SQL Server 2000
computer. You are configuring a database
for an inventory application. The hard disks on your
server are configured as shown in the
exhibit (Not Available). The operating system files are
located on drive C. Your database
will store a maximum of 6 GB of data and requires a
maximum of 2 GB of disk space for the
transaction log. You want to optimize database
performance. What should you do?

A. Add a 2-GB transaction log to drive D, a 3-GB data file
to drive E, and a 3-GB data file to drive F
B. Add a 1-GB transaction log to drive C, a 1-GB
transaction log to drive D, a 3-GB data file to drive E,
and a 3-
GB data file to drive F
C. Add a 1-GB transaction log to drive E, a 1-GB
transaction log to drive F, a 3-GB data file to drive E,
and a 3-GB
data file to drive F
D. Add a 2-GB transaction log to drive F, a 3-GB data file
to drive D, and a 3-GB data file to drive E

Answer: D

Why Not A( How does Microsoft rate an answer to be correct
or wrong,In this situation both A & D are
           correct, so How should one Mark the Answer
Microsoft way so that nothing goes wrong)

3. You are the administrator of a SQL Server 2000
database. You import a table of geographic
information from a Microsoft Access database into a SQL
Server 2000 database. The table has
12,000 rows. Each row averages 5,000 bytes. The table
contains lookup data that does not
change. You want to minimize the size of the data file and
the time required to back up the
data. Which two actions should you take?(Each correct
answer presents part of the solution,
Choose two )

A. Create a 60-MB data file named Geography.ndf
B. Create a 95-MB data file named Geography.ndf
C. Create a 60-MB data file named Geography.mdf
D. Create a 95-MB data file named Geography.mdf
E. Place the table in the PRIMARY filegroup
F. Place the table in a new filegroup named LOCATION

Answer: BF (Is this right if so How)

*Can somebody tell me How the above is calculated. The way
I calculate it looks like onyly 57MB
space is occupied (12000 * 5000 /1024*1024).

4. You are the administrator of a Microsoft Windows NT
Server 4 0 computer The server is the
PDC in your domain and also runs SQL Server 2000. The
server has four processors and 1 GB of
RAM. Your network consists of 500 client computers that
are running Microsoft Windows
Millennium Edition. Users report that when they log on in
the morning their computers respond
slowly and occasionally return error messages. You use
System Monitor to monitor processor
performance and RAM utilization You discover that the %
Total Time and % User Time counters
average 90 percent and the % Privileged Time counter
averages 20 percent. The Available Mbytes
counter averages 800 MB. You need to improve server
performance for user logons. What should you
do?

A. Increase the physical RAM on the computer to 2 GB
B. Increase the virtual RAM on the computer to 4 GB
C. Configure SQL Server to use only processors 1,2, and 3
D. Configure SQL Server to use only processors 0, 1, and 2

Answer: C (Why not D)

5- You are the administrator of a SQL Server 2000 computer
at a bank's headquarters.
Customers can access their accounts from headquarters or
from branch offices. The server at
headquarters maintains a master copy of all account data
for all customers. When a customer
deposits or withdraws funds at a branch office, the
customer's new balance must be reflected on
the computers at that office and at headquarters. You want
to minimize latency between the
headquarters and branch offices. You want to copy account
data between the server at
headquarters and the servers at the branch offices. What
should you do?

A. Implement merge replication. Use the DATETIME (Later
Wins) conflict resolver. Schedule replication for off-
peak hours.
B. Implement transactional replication. Allow immediate-
updating subscribers. Schedule replication to run
continuously.
C. Create a data transformation services package on the
server at headquarters. Configure the DTS package to
import new account data from each of the servers at the
branch offices and write it to all other servers. Schedule
the DTS package to run during off-peak hours.
D. Add all branch office servers to the headquarters
server as linked servers. Create a job on the headquarters
server. Configure the job to query each linked server for
new account data and write this data to the other
servers. Schedule the job to run every three minutes.
E. Configure log shipping between the headquarters server
and the branch office servers. Configure the
headquarters server as the primary server and the branch
office servers as secondary servers. Schedule log
backups and log shipping to run every 10 minutes.

Answer: B (Why not A, coz from the description it looks
like the branch data should be updated
           first)
