The testing provider doesn't have anything to do with the exam content. All they do is deliver the exams that CompTIA authors. ________________________________________ CompTIA A+, Network+, Server+, Security+ MCTS:Windows 7 MCSE:Security 2003 MCITP:Server Administrator MCITP:Enterprise...

Domain Controllers do not have a local security policy, just like they do not have local administrator accounts. Their policy settings are controlled by the AD policies. ________________________________________ CompTIA A+, Network+, Server+, Security+ MCTS:Windows 7 MCSE:Security 2003...

I think that most companies are perfectly happy to let you float their debt up until the very last day. Larger companies just have slower accounting departments (usually), and they'll pay on whatever schedule they see fit. Tacking on late fees may not be helpful if the company decides to flat...

I don't think that there's a discount on the exams UNLESS you register as a CompTIA member (which I think is done on a per-company basis, though I assume you could do so with an independent "business"). The CompTIA members used to get discounts on the exam vouchers. The current version of...

RemoteFX has nothing to do with USB redirection. It's about rich media/graphics redirection/processing with special 3D cards. ________________________________________ CompTIA A+, Network+, Server+, Security+ MCTS:Windows 7 MCSE:Security 2003 MCITP:Server Administrator MCITP:Enterprise...

I vote for DFS too. I remember in the old days when DFS wasn't very good for this I used Robocopy to accomplish this. I was syncing a large fileshare across a pair of T1 circuits, so I had a Robocopy job that ran every 15 minutes during business hours to sync anything smaller than 10 MB, then...

You are running a 32-bit application on a 64-bit system, and the registry redirection feature is kicking in and catching your calls from the 32-bit application to the registry and redirecting it to the WOW6432Node that exists for 32-bit compatibility. If you query from a 64-bit tool (or perhaps...

Is the scanner not working with the built-in USB redirection? I seem to recall Microsoft making a big deal about this feature when 2008 R2 was released. I know that not all devices work perfectly with it, but I haven't seen many that didn't. The only other option that I've tried is using...

Will they even be able to login as Guest? They'll need to be Remote Desktop Users at a minimum, and you might as well make then full Users so that they have at least basic logon functionality. They wouldn't be able to modify network configurations as a regular user. Which brings me to the...

Download an evaluation copy of Windows Server 2008 (or 2008 R2 if that's what you're using) from Microsoft. Burn it to a CD, then try the steps listed above. The media is the same. ________________________________________ CompTIA A+, Network+, Server+, Security+ MCTS:Windows 7 MCSE:Security...

When you say "IT Management position" do you mean a position as someone managing IT resources and equipment, or as a manager over an IT group? One manages people, the other manages technology. I'm assuming that you mean a "people manager". In my experience, many of the larger companies are...

So in other words, you get the "consultant answer". "It depends". ________________________________________ CompTIA A+, Network+, Server+, Security+ MCTS:Windows 7 MCSE:Security 2003 MCITP:Server Administrator MCITP:Enterprise Administrator MCITP:Virtualization Administrator 2008 R2 Certified...

If you're looking at legal and regulatory requirements, you'll probably need to talk to an attorney in your legal jurisdiction. On the Internet you could be anywhere, and even within a single country the requirements could vary widely based on what state or municipality you do business in and...
