| Happy Friday everyone!
Here's a little RIS question for you. 
You are the Network Admin for your company. The network consists of a single Windows 2000 Active Directory domain located on a single subnet.
On this network you have a Windows 2000 server called RIS1, you have a Windows 2000 server domain controller called DC1, and you have a Windows NT4.0 DHCP server called SRVNT4.
RIS1 will be used to deploy Windows 2000 Professional via Remote Installation Service to new client computers. You add RIS1 to the domain and install RIS on it. You configure RIS1 to obtain IP addressing information from SRVNT4.
You try to use RIS to test deployment of Windows 2000 Professional to a client computer that is PXE-compliant. However, the client computer can't connect to RIS1. When you examine the event log on RIS1 to figure out what is going on, you see the following entry. "BINL will not respond to client requests."
How can you correct the problem?
A. Use Active Directory Sites and Services console to authorize RIS1 as a DHCP server in the domain.
B. Use Active Directory Sites and Services console to authorize SVRNT4 as a DHCP server in the domain.
C. Create a DHCP reservation for RIS1 on SRVNT4.
D. Create DHCP reservations for new client computers on SRVNT4. | |

One of these questions that really make you regret you've already signed up for the test.
C & D looks faar into the wood, which leave us with A and B.
The coin landed on B ! | |

Don't worry too much hlang. I'm sure you will do fine | |

| A for me! | |
|
| RIS1 is not a DHCP server nor is DHCP being installed on the server. | |
| Slinky 2002-11-01, 2:54 pm |
| If B is the correct answer, how do you add authorized DHCP servers in Active Directory Sites and Services? I was always told to go to the DHCP console, right click on DHCP, goto "manage authorized servers" and add the server in that way. Sounds like there are two ways of doing it. | |
|
| Well I'll have to admit, I have never had to do this but the two sources I have are stating the same answer. There is a Technet article available that references the BINL error message, but it does not specifically state the answer as it is shown from my sources.
Maybe Freak or jeff_black could shed some light on this. | |

| hmmm...
Microsoft says:
RIS allows you to control which RIS servers can service client computers on the network. For a RIS server to operate, it must first be authorized within Active Directory. If the RIS server is not authorized within Active Directory, client computers requesting service will not be able to contact the RIS server and will not be answered. To authorize a RIS server within Active Directory, you must be logged on as an enterprise administrator or a domain administrator of the root domain.
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools and click DHCP.
Right-click DHCP in the upper-left corner of the DHCP screen, and select Manage Authorized Servers. If your server is not already listed, click Authorize, and enter the IP address of the RIS server.
Click Yes when prompted to verify that the address is correct. At this point, your RIS server is authorized within Active Directory and is now able to respond to client computers requesting service.
The whole thing right here:http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...N-US;q300483 | |

| Whats confusing the heck out of me is how in the world do you authorize DHCP servers in "Active Directory Sites and Services"???????? | |

The only servers that will check to see whether or not they are authorized are Windows 2000 DHCP servers - your NT 4 DHCP servers (and others) will continue to hand out IP addresses regardless.

I never did say the answer was B, my initial impression was C, which is probably wrong. According to those links provided A & B are out the window, and D doesn't make sense because you don't have to make client reservations for RIS clients. So that leaves C. Who knows. Could be an interesting weekend. | |

| I guess we all have to wait in suspense until Monday. | |
|
| When I initially read the following article, I said, ok that supports the answer. But now, the more I keep reading and re-reading this Technet article, the more I keep second guessing myself and getting confused.
Here's the Technet article:

I think I'll throw this question out unless someone chimes in with the answer and an explanation as to why it's correct. Because as of right now, hell if I know | |

I agree Slinky. I'm throwing it out.
Sorry everyone for the bad question. I'll post a Saturday question to make up for this.
Thanks | |
|
| Honestly I don't think the question was THAT bad.
I for myself would never had thought about the problems about RIS/DHCP/authentication. So all in one it is one these question that in the end made you a little bit wiser than you very before | |
| Slinky 2002-11-02, 9:41 am |
| So what is the correct answer? | |
| hlang 2002-11-02, 10:37 am |
| After another toss ofthe coin the answer MUST be A. | |

The answer was suppose to be "A".  | |

| I fired off a PM to jeff_j_black to get his take of this question and here was his response....

I didn't think that a NT 4.0 DHCP server could be authorized by AD. The DHCPINFORM message is new for 2k and is needed in the authorization of DHCP servers in Active Directory. The article you present is a very good one and indicates clearly, that 'A' would be the best answer. This question is truely in depth. It requires access to some pretty good text and Technet. Pretty cool stuff!!!
Well I think we all learned something on this question | |
