Dear Blog: Oh Wonderful Microsoft

There are times when I think I might have some sort of mental inability to concentrate. Times like, for example, whenever I take an important test. Having failed Microsoft exam 70-291 (networking with Windows) today for the second time by a small margin, I can officially balk about how many ridiculous details Microsoft expects you to keep track of. They also have a knack for trying to ask 3 different questions, and then asking you to provide an answer related to none of the questions.

"You're the network administrator for 50 computers running Windows XP, 35 computers running Windows Millenium Edition, and ten servers running Windows Server 2003.

Bob cannot log on to the domain. Yesterday, you installed a new router.

It is raining outside, and Bob had tacos for lunch.

There are four servers connected to the new router, and the domain controller is connected to a router connected to the new router, but DNS is no longer functional on the domain.

What do you do to allow Jane to remotely dial-in to one of the servers?"

But oh well. It's May, which means I get to try again for free. Next time...
