Mon XP Question of the Day

|  And today's poser is ....
Q4. You visit a regional office in Broome to install and upgrade that office's Windows 2000 Server Cluster. You also install Windows XP Professional on a secretary's workstation. You use Win2K Server Terminal Services across the WAN from your office in Melbourne to manage other Win2K Server clusters in Darwin, Adelaide, and Cairns, and you want to test the Remote Desktop function as a precursor to migrating away from PC Anywhere for desktop management. When you set up the Darwin, Adelaide and Cairns office, you had to reconfigure the routers at those locations to allow traffic to pass across the WAN on the correct port. You enable Remote Desktop on the secretary's system, install the regular applications, enable access to your user account, and then return to your office. This XP machine is one of the first in your organisation - you don't even have one in your office back in Melbourne yet!
Which of the following steps should you take to connect to the secretary's machine in Broome with a minimal amount of effort? (Select two)
A. Install an XP Pro machine in your office and select Remote Desktop Client.
B. Make sure port 1168 is open on the WAN links between your office and the Broome office.
C. Make sure port 3389 is open on the WAN links between your office and the Broome office.
D. Connect using the Terminal Services client on the Win2K Pro workstation in your office.
E. Install an XP Pro machine in your office, go to My Network Places, Entire Network, Microsoft Terminal Services, and select the secretary's machine.
Good Luck .... see you tomorrow for the answer!! | |

| oh, boy, i better get back to my 70-218 Studies.
I think, the M$ Answer is A & C,
but again, i don't agree entirely.
The Host must be a XP machine, the client could be Win 98,95 or whatever. | |

| As we do not have a large community here at the moment I have decided to leave this question open and post the answer in a couple of days then post a question once or twice a week. | |

| All I know at the moment about XP Remote is that both machines have to be XP to use it.  | |
|
| [COLOR=deeppink]No, it's not necessary that both machines have to be XP, only the host must be XP.
Every client can use a browser (IE4 or +) to access a remote desktop. | |

| So, Frank, how come when you type Windows XP, that it becomes a link to amazon.com?
I suppose you did not create the link? | |

| Answer A & C; Both machines must be running XP and TCP port 3389 is used by clients to access remote desktop. | |
|
| I'd sya C&D. That's, with a minimal amount of effort.
A&C might right. | |

E. Install an XP Pro machine in your office, go to My Network Places, Entire Network, Microsoft Terminal Services, and select the secretary's machine.
And the answer is ....
Correct Answer: C and D
To accomplish this task with the least amount of effort, simply use the Terminal Services client on your Win2K Pro machine. You also must make sure that port 3389 (the Terminal Services RDP port) is open on your WAN links. Because you already use the port to connect to the Darwin and Adelaide offices, the port is open on the WAN links in those office, but the port on the Broome router could possibly be closed as the other offices needed their routers specifically configured so that you could manage them via Terminal Services. You'll need to have this port open to start Terminal Services connections on the server cluster you installed. Installing an XP system from scratch in your office would work, but it's not the easiest way to perform the task. |
