Answers provide in-depth explanations,and show why the incorrect choices are wrong,as shown below:

• You are the administrator for two Windows 2000 domains in a publishing company. Each domain has its own set of services (i. e.,a separate DNS,DHCP,etc). You want to bring up an additional DHCP server on a Windows 2000 server in stand-alone mode,simply because you want it to work for both of the existing domains. After you build the server and create the scopes on DHCP,you find that it's not assigning addresses to any clients. What is the most likely problem?

A. The scope you created is not appropriate for the physical subnetthe server is located on.

B. You neglected to authorize the server in the two domains.

C. You didn*t enable the scope on the DHCP server.

D. Your clients aren*t configured to use DHCP.

B. The most likely problem is that you failed to authorize your new DHCP server in either of the two Windows 2000 domains. When a Windows 2000 DHCP server starts,it checks with the directory services to see if it is on the authorized servers list. If not,it stops itself and records an error in its event log.

A is not correct because even an incorrect scope would give out addresses. C is incorrect because the MMC would indicate that the scope had been activated. D is incorrect because we already know that the clients are working with the other DHCP servers.

Chapter 1: Analyzing Business Requirements

The analysis of a company's business requirements is an important part of planning a network infrastructure. By understanding the needs of the business, you are better able to create a network that enhances the business and allows it to achieve its goals.

To develop a picture of the business requirements, you must have the ability to examine a given business scenario, taking care to uncover the business and company models, company processes, existing and planned organizational structures, and the company strategy. You will also be required to analyze the structure of the information technology (IT) management to understand its function.

Understanding Business Requirements Analysis

Business requirements are the needs and issues that must be analyzed and addressed when planning a network. Once determined, these are applied to a plan that outlines the technical specifications of a network infrastructure. Business requirements analysis isn't an exact science, but rather a calculation of trade-offs. Different factors affect the network infrastructure you create. The way a business is organized, its ability to change and accept risks, and other variables will each play a part in how a network is planned and implemented.

You need to know the various types of information that can be gathered from a business in order to conduct your analysis. This information can be gathered in a number of ways: you can interview staff members, conduct a survey, or review existing documentation. Once you have gathered the information, it needs to be organized into meaningful documents that will support the network design you are creating.

During the course of a network infrastructure design, you will create several types of documents. These include administrative documents, deployment documents, functional specifications, communication strategies, training plans, capacity plans, and a risk assessment.

Administrative documents identify the scope, goals, and objectives of the project.

Deployment documents describe the current network environment (if any), gaps between the current environment and the one envisioned, and how Windows 2000 will be integrated into the environment.

11 Functional specifications outline the required features and the details of what the network infrastructure will be.

15 Communication strategies outline how information about the project will be conveyed and how often.

Training plans outline issues dealing with how users and support staff will be educated about the new system.

Capacity plans estimate minimum, maximum, and average figures on network usage. This includes such factors as how often users log on to the network and the number of Domain Name System (DNS) queries that occur.

Risk assessments assess possible risks that the project may face and how these risks may affect the project.

The ability to analyze a business's requirements is more o f a soft skill than a hard technical requirement. However, when you sit down and begin designing your first Windows 2000 network, the data and information that you collect about the business will be just as important as the data you collect about the network. Be very detail oriented, and understand the various documents and plans that are used to capture this information...
