Up for more?

Thanks guys...

I am flattered

Sorry, wasnt around for the 1st question, whats the next? these sound a LOT like the microsoft MCSE exam questions... a WHOLE lot.

Avenger...are you stll here?

It's a Windows 2000 Server class that I'm taking, so that might be why they sound like the MCSE. The other situations are in General Chit Chat under ok...situation #3 and finally.....Situation #4. You'll see them...noone has responded to them though :(

I sure would appreciate any suggestions that you are willing to offer. thanks

Thats because they are really tough. Ill look for them , and put some thought into it, but they are AD questions and AD can be really tricky, no one wants to lead you down the dark path of wrong.

Get an HP A500 and put the latest bind on it (DNS), configure it for full-blown DNS as the primary for your domain. Set up another HP A500 that pulls from the first A500 as a secondary so you have a backup. Put both addresses in the client lists and on servers so that they hit the first one and if that doesn't work, it'll fail over to the secondary. On the secondary DNS server, also set up DHCP from www.isc.org, assign your scopes, IP pools, lease times, options, etc. Now you're ready to serve to the community.

OR

Get one machine, hook up bind that supports DDNS (dynamic) and then also hook up DHCP on the same machine so now you have a completely dynamic environment where printers can still be reached through names, regardless of whatever IP it got.
