Anything console related usually separates the pros from the amatures:

What does "net start" do?
What CACLS switch will edit the ACL instead of overwritting it? ...kind of tough but if
someone uses it enough it will be memorized.



Also, what's the differences between regedit and regedt32?

Q. Where under the "Users and Groups" snap-in do you add a user to the domain?
A. You do not add it under a snap-in on the computer managment, you can add users to the domain via "Active Directory Users and Groups" it is located under administrative tools on the control panel.



<< P.S. The job's not in Indianapolis is it? >>


Or Oregon for that matter ???? :D

You can tell the guys who know thier 2k from the fellows that don't by berrating them with DNS questions.

1) I would like to configure a forwarder on my DNS server, but the tab is greyed out, what must I do?
(remove the "." root forward lookup zone from the server)

2) Explain a delegation record.


Other good ones include....

1) You recieve calls from users claiming that they cannot log on from thier computers. You investigate and find that user accounts cannot log on, but the Domain Admin account can. What do you look into first?
( The status of the Global Catalog Server(s))

2) List and describe the roles of the five FSMO's.

3) What is the service that is responsible for automatically creating and updating Active Directory replication links?
(Knowledge Consistency Checker, KCC)

4) How would I go about checking the event logs on a remote computer
( Computer Management, connect to remote computer)


Trick question, totally useless info department...............

How do I access the " Media Injection Wizard"

hehe I'd give the job to anyone that could answer that one...
