Basic Netwokring questions... I know 10 of them 100% sure. Those are easy for a networking guy... but may be tough if you aren't.

good, that's exactly what I want...to weed out all the "help desk" people

 

[slycat]

This is not entry level networking.
If you say Networking then there should be more OSI and less Windows.

Those questions about exchange, server2003, IIS, AD all mean this is NOT a networking position
per se. I can answer all your questions coz i'm the systems/network person but if i was pure networking, i'd be stumped. I know a few CCIEs who constantly come to me for systems related help but they are networking Gods.

Ur questions point to a junior systems admin.

Edit:..o yeah, the sql question is like pure genius or uhm...idiocy.

 

[Drakkon]

LMAO

16. Your user set a bios boot up password, but forgets it. How would you fix this problem?
b. Crack the password by using a brute force program on the hash file

yeah this would be a sysadmin test not a networking test...

 

[Yossarian]

if I'm allowed to guess, I'll get a 25% on that test.

 

[FreshPrince]

lmao, ya these questions are easy, but I'm trying to weed out all the BS'ers

also, yeah, it's more of a jr. sys admin position, but networking plays a bigger part

 

[JackBurton]

Not a bad set of questions although I agree this is not a pure networking test.

16. Your user set a bios boot up password, but forgets it. How would you fix this problem?

You need "none of the above."
a. is N/A
b. not a good idea at all
c. does not work on modern PCs
d. not a good idea either

You can either crack the BIOS password with a boot floppy/CD BIOS cracker (NOT a brute force attack), or you can simply call the manufacturer to give you a master password for the BIOS (Dell will do it). If neither of those options work, swap the hard drive out with another identical PC, give it back to the user and tell him if he puts another BIOS password in again, he'll be paying for another machine. Then send the PC with the BIOS lock back to the manufacturer to have it replaced.

Do I get a cookie now?

 

[jjessico]

I'd say an average networking guy with some PC and MS background should be able to get about 12.

Someone with more MS knowledge should push 14-15.

 

[jjessico]

I agree with slycat also, in that a networking guy may never work with WinXX and have no idea about those questions unless they have done it themselves or have taken a class recently about it.

I'd focus a bit more on OSI and basic network troubleshooting if it is a netadmin position.
