Q84. Alison is planning to deploy Windows 2000 Professional on 50 computers running Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and would like to know what is the most efficient way to determine whether any of her third-party applications require updates to operate properly in Windows 2000. What would you advice?
A. To connect to the Windows Update Web site.

Good Luck .... see you tomorrow for the answer!! | |

| Im just now getting in depth in this part and am still learning but my guess would be D since I can just wirte the compatability script to go to the pc's and tell me the info i need. That to me would be the quickest and easiest of the choices. | |

| I'm going on "D" for this one.
I haven't heard of "C" Denis.
Maybe it does work | |

| I'll guess D too | |
| NetChild1985 2002-04-25, 1:26 pm |
| "D" is the best possibility! | |
|
| Never heard about SMS or Readiness
Analyzer...So I would go for "A"
Take care... | |

| The correct answer is D.
The Windows 2000 Readiness Analyzer tool analyzes your system and reports potentially incompatible hardware devices and software applications. The tool compares the devices and applications on your system against a list of known issues.
You can download and run the tool before installing Windows 2000 to help ensure your installation will succeed. This check also occurs during Windows 2000 Setup.
-SMS Crystal reports snap-in applies to Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0.
Half the time the vendors don't even know if their application is compatible or not. | |

Good tip Denis. If you're running IE version 5 or later, you can download the Google Toolbar. That works really slick!
