| Okay, I'll try not to be too ambigious on this one. 
An older Windows 98 system is running on a Pentium 100, meaning you can't upgrade the system to Windows 2000. During the upgrade process that will take several months, you want to make sure the existing users will be able to use the attached printer; however, you also want Windows 2000 users to be able to work with it. What action should you take?
A)Create the printer as a local printer on a Windows 2000 server and set the port to
the network name of the existing printer.
B)Create the printer as a network printer on a Windows 2000 server and set
the network address to the network name of the existing printer.
C)Create the printer object in the Windows 2000 Active Directory.
D)You can't share the printer from a Windows 98 system and will need to move it at
least to a Windows NT server.
Good luck. See you tomorrow!
(Sorry folks, had to edit this question. Had a typo.) | |

| i thought you could upgrade win98 to win2k, but no matter. i would likely select either of the first two depending on whether the network is peer-to-peer or server-based. | |

the network name of the existing printer.

I think you can't create a network printer, a network printer need to have a network adapter and ip address, please correct me. | |

| C.
Pre-Windows 2000 systems must have their printers published in AD for others to see them in the directory.
thecomeons,
You can upgrade Win98 to Win2000 as long as the system requirements are met. The processor must be at least Pentium 133, not Pentium 100. | |

| Over 24 hours on this one, and such a poor response. Oh well!
Here is the answer:
An older Windows 98 system is running on a Pentium 100, meaning you can't upgrade the system to Windows 2000. During the upgrade process that will take several months, you want to make sure the existing users will be able to use this printer; however, you also want Windows 2000 users to be able to work with it. What action should you take?
C)Create the printer object in the Windows 2000 Active Directory.
You can publish printers shared by versions of Windows other than Windows 2000 in
Active Directory. If Windows Scripting Host is installed (it is installed by default in Windows 98), the simplest method is to use the Pubprn script. This script publishes all the shared printers on a given server. The script is located in the System folder. The syntax is:
cscript pubprn.vbs servername dspath
Although answer A is close, it does not share the printer after it is created. In the real world, you would do this and then share the printer so that the printer driver would be available to the users who want to use the printer. Answer B is wrong because it is only connecting to a network printer, and you would not be able to share the printer after connecting to it. Answer D is incorrect because you can add the printer to the Active Directory.
I will try to post another later. | |
