Hi,

For the two most populer questions, who has the correct answer?

Q1. You have 2 servers (NY and Ontario), what's the easiest way to change the IP ports on the 200 sites contained at those locations.

EasyCert answer is to run the script on each sites.

Most of the best dump says to run it on one site.

Q2. The web site home dir is on RAID 5 disk array. Within months the information stored on this dosk doubles, people complains that the site is slower than before. How to improve perf.

Again EasyCert says Move the files to seperate vertual directories on a single RAID 5 disk array. reason given there says " we are told that there is no such multiple array available"

Others says to move to multiple arrays.

Ravi

I could totally wrong but here is my go!

Q1 run the script on each sites.

Because u are just altering ports u can use the script on both sites. 90% sure

Q2 move to multiple arrays
If you can have more than one Virtual Dir, it can point to more then one PC. If Two PC are using RAID 5, that's 2 arrays
99.9% sure but as ever I am open to debate!

If any one knows which section of the exam these are under I can give a more 100%er answer (with ref to the exam, ie 'planning' etc)

Best Regards

Hi David,

The Q1 is under the section Running applications in IIS 4.0

Q2 (RAID 5) is under Monitoring and Optimization of IIS 4.0 , this question is based on NNTP server perf tunning.

hope this helps you to find the 100% correct answer.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ravi

So far.....
Q2 100%
Virtual Dir are OK for NNTP sites so u can off load the info to other PC's, if more than one has RAID u have a multi array.

Also I have RAID 1 and RAID 5 going on in the same NT box here, so i am unable to understand why EasyCert says " we are told that there is no such multiple array available" ? I would e mail them.
If MS don't actually beleive such a 'term' is real, rather than the real world. Then well follow bill for the day!

Q1, did not get the best exam result on, so i drop to 80% sure!

RAID 5 is only called array (drive array), others are not considered for this purticuler case. MS supports RAID 0, 1 and 5. So don't have to confuse with other RAID levels.

This question only talking about RAID 5.
Now I understand from your explaination is that using arrays in multiple virtual directories can be called multiple arrays.

EasyCert assumes that in every vir directory there can be only one drive array. As they say that there is no such multiple drive array available.

According to me we can have more than one drive array a one PC. So muliple drive array is present. I am sure EasyCert is wrong here.

I have no idea about writing scripts and executing it on one server or both server.

I am wondering why can't we execute the script on only one server. my logic behind this is that IIS can be managed from a single location right? in otherwords, multiple IIS servers can be managed from a single location. Then why can't we run a script that just changes the port of each site from one server. Why do you go to Newyork to execute just the script. If you are in Toronto better execute that dam thing from here , save money.

It could be again like this, you can run the scripts from one location but one both servers, is that make any sense. As I assume that you can manage multiple IIS from sinle location, so sitting in one location (not even req to go to the server) you can use a browser and select Ontarion server and execute the dam script and then you can select the Newyork server and execute that. Basically you are running the script one both servers from one location.

I don't know I am cofused totally.

Ravi

Hi David,

I have a answer for running script question.

It is possible to run scripts remotely from one server but due to securoty reason it is not recommended. therefore you have to run the script on each server. This answer is the best for passing MS exam atleast.

You currently store NNTP files in a single virtual directory on a single RAID 5 disk array. How can you improve performance.

a) Configure multiple virtual directories on a single drive array.

b) Configure multiple virtual directories on mutiple drive array.

The dumps say b) and Exam Essential said a) because in the situation we are told we have a single RAID 5, but why does everyone pick b?

Thank you for any help you can provide
