|  And today's poser is ....
Q5. Bursley has a Dell Laptop that he takes between home, the office and his summer retreat house in the Rockies. At the office he plugs the laptop into a docking station to access the network via the docking station's built in NIC. However when he is at home or the summer retreat he accesses the company network via dial up and VPN.
Bursley wants to disable particular devices such as the NIC and DVD-ROM drive when he is at home and away from the office docking station. What sort of profile should Bursley create for his laptop to prevent Windows 2000 Professional from attempting to start the docking station network adapter and the DVD-ROM drive when he is out of the office?
A. Low profile
B. Personal roaming profile
C. Hardware profile
D. Mandatory roaming profile
E. Local profile

| Go for C as well.
Pav, about the Hardware profiles, i would choose 3.
One docked at the Office, one for Home (VPN),(where he might have other printers,USB devices and such) and one for the Road.
make sense? | |

Sorry for the delay in posting the answer but been busy ... and the answer is ....
Correct Answer: C
Hardware profiles tell Windows 2000 which devices to start when a system boots and/or which settings to use for each device. There is a default hardware profile that is automatically created when Windows 2000 is installed on a system. By default, this hardware profile enables every device that is installed on the computer.
One of the main uses for hardware profiles is the situation above where a user has a different configuration depending on whether he or she is on the network or away from the network. Hardware profiles let you change the devices that your computer uses when you move from location to location. One hardware profile may have certain components such as a NIC and CD-ROM drive installed based on the specification of your hardware configuration when you are using the docking station. Another profile might have those devices disabled so that you don't receive errors when starting the system away from the docking station due to the absence of those devices. | |
