| Sorry, long weekend... I didn't get a chance for weekend ? of the days! Oh well, here's todays challenge!
Q11. You are the network admin. Your W2K domain controller uses a second hard drive (NTFS dynamic volume) for the paging files. The server has been sluggish lately, you reboot & receive this error:
Limited Virtual Memory
Your system is running without a properly sized paging file. Please use the virtual memory option of the System applet in the Control Panel to create a paging file, or to increase the initial size of your paging file.
Upon checking into this error you find the D: drive is no longer accessible. You suspect the hard drive has failed so you pull the D: drive from another W2K test server that also only used the D: for the paging files. The HD is the same size & file system (NTFS dynamic volume). Upon booting the server after adding the new drive you receive the same error message. What should you do? (Select the Best Answer!)
A. Forget about it, go have a beer. The hard drive works so it should fix itself.
B. From System properties, click Virtual Memory , reset the "Initial Size" and the "Maximum Size" values to the recommended values, and then restart your computer.
C. Import the foreign disk. Then go to the System properties, click Virtual Memory, reset the "Initial Size" and the "Maximum Size" values to the recommended values, and then restart your computer.
D. From System Properties, click the Advanced tab, click Performance Options, click Change, reset the "Initial Size" and the "Maximum Size" values to the recommended values, and then restart your computer.
E. Import the foreign disk. Then go to System Properties, click the Advanced tab, click Performance Options, click Change, reset the "Initial Size" and the "Maximum Size" values to the recommended values, and then restart your computer.
F. Simply import the foreign disk. Then reboot the server.
Good Luck! | |

| I would have to say E. | |

| my guess is E | |
|
| I pick 'D'. It's a hard drive you don't have to "import" it... Windows will recongize it at boot time. | |

You are absolutely correct. I quote page 469 of the Operations Guide. "If you move one or more disks from a Disk Group to another computer that contains its own Disk Group, the Disk Group you moved is marked as Foreign untill you import it into the existing group." | |

| E for me. As it came from another computer, you have to import it via DM, and then recheck your VM config. | |
| KScheler 2002-04-09, 9:15 am |
| E. for me. Foriegn disk needs to be imported first. | |

| Once again I quote Windows 2000 Server Operations Guide.
"You can move basic and dynamic disks from one computer to another. For both basic and dynamic disks, you need to physically move the disk from the computer, and then either restart the computer or use the Rescan Disks command on the Action menu in Disk Management." | |

I thought I had it, then I changed my mind, and now I'm thoroughly confused. The Server resource kit says one thing, and their website says another. Can somebody please clarify? | |

The correct anwser is E!
The best answer is to import the foreign disk, and then check your paging file config & set it to the recommended values.
Because the disk has been moved to your computer from another Windows 2000 computer, and it is a dynamic disk, it will display the "Foreign status." To use the volume or files on this disk you need to import it. Microsoft may have conflicting info on this subject, but I can tell you from real scenarios that it will show up as a foreign disk. Once you import it, it functions like it has always been there! | |

| That is what I initally thought. Should have stuck with my initial feeling. |
