Hazz_bin is an architect that uses an AutoCAD type application to create and render beautiful technical drawings. While the CAD application is rendering, Hazz_bin likes to multitask and catch up on his email joke of the days he receives and also browse over to ExamNotes.net to check out what's going on. He's also an avid cook, so he likes to write receipes in Word as well.
He notices that when he runs other applications and attempts to render a drawing in his CAD program, the renderings take a noticably longer time to complete.
Hazz_bin comes to you, Oh Great Network Administrator, and asks if there is a way to maximize the responsiveness of his CAD application so that the renderings don't take as long to complete when his is in full-blown multitasking mode.
What do you tell him?
A. Configure Performance Options in the System applet to optimize for applications.
B. Use Task Manager to set the CAD process priority to High.
C. Use Task Manager to set the CAD process priority to Realtime.
D. Use Task Manager to set the priority of all application to Above Normal.
E. Just Deal with it, and quit multitasking. 
Good luck and see you tomorrow for the answer! | |

| I would say....
B | |
| Slinky 2002-10-30, 10:58 am |
| I hope this isn't another trick question. I'll have to say B. | |
| namrak 2002-10-30, 11:06 am |
| I would rule out answers (A) and (D) because it would not accomplish hazz_bin's goal of maximizing responsiveness of his CAD application over his other multitasked apps.
I'll go with answer (B) as well.
Use Task Manager to set the CAD process priority to High.
This setting will bump up the CAD process priority level, but not completely monopolize the OS while hazz_bin checks out ExamNotes and see what others are saying about him in IE.  | |
| Deja-vue 2002-10-30, 11:13 am |
| Going with b.
 | |

| B is the best choice since if you ran it in realtime CAD probably would never surrender the CPU again and you would effectually be locked up.
A and D would not enhance performance and the E is cute (probably what a real administrator WOULD say). | |

| Ya baby Ya I go for (B) set to high. | |
| NetChild1985 2002-10-30, 12:03 pm |
| B for me too! | |
| tweetgirl 2002-10-30, 4:00 pm |
| B for me. | |
| soccer4net 2002-10-30, 4:36 pm |
| "B"
A would be helpful if he had any background services running-but unless hazz_bin was stupid enough to mess with the default settings it should already be configured as such | |

| I don't know about any Task Manager, but this is how you go at it:
If you want microprocessor resources to be even between all running programs, set the application response to background services.
How do you get there, you asked?
From Control Panel DC (double click) system,
select Advance Tab, click Performance Options and select Background Services | |

Question didn't state anything about evenly distributing Microprocessor resources between all applications he has running. He wants his CAD program to render quicker while he has other applications running, plain and simple.
How do you get to Task Manager to set application/process priorities, you asked?
Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the Windows Security box. Click Task Manager. Go to Processes Tab. Right Click on a Process. Select Set Priority. Pick a value to assign to the process.  | |

| Or, heck2000, right click on the task bar and there's a menu item, or, what I did is put a shortcut to taskmgr.exe in my startup folder so it opens at startup. (Often it's the first tool I go to when problems arise.)
Well soccer4net, I like to think that I'm not that stupid but, of course, there are times when my need to get to the examnotes.com forums just clouds my mind to the point where I have a momentary lapse of reason, and, well, I just might noodle around with the settings to get that silly CAD program to cooperate. If that were the case I would have selected B as the logical course of action. However, I would not completely rule out E as the real world scenario that MS would have on the exam or that I might experience at work from a typical network admin. | |

And the answer is.....B
By setting the CAD process priority to High, CAD will be relatively higher than all other applications, including Email, IE and Word which all launch at a default priority of Normal. Using Task Manager to set the CAD process to High increases the amount of attention CAD receives from the processor and improves its performance. | |

| WOW! I learn something really useful today.
Thanks Spid! |
