SHORT ANSWER
41. ANS:

Plan user licensing.
Determine domain or workgroup membership.
Choose a computer name.
Determine whether to install Server Core or the full version.
Identify the server roles to implement.
Determine the immediate preparations.
PTS: 1 REF: 42
42. ANS:
When you develop the specifications for the server hardware you are planning to use, it is better to overestimate than to underestimate. In nearly all cases, this means purchasing much more computer than specified in the minimum requirements. In terms of speed, plan to pay particular attention to the speed of the CPU and the amount of RAM. For example, a small business using one server with Standard Edition should consider purchasing a 2 GHz or faster x64 processor. The cost of an x64 processor is not much more than that of an x86 processor. An x64 processor gives the small business room to grow in the future.
A corporation or university that has large databases might consider running the Datacenter Edition on an SMP x64 computer with fast processors. The number of processors depends on the size of the databases and the frequency of performing large queries and reports. The corporation or university might start with two processors, but with the option built into the computer to easily add more in the future.
PTS: 1 REF: 43
43. ANS:
A hard link enables you to create one file and then establish links to that file in other folders, as though the file is in all of the folders. For example, an organization might have a document about its rules and regulations for employees. There might be a master copy in a Human Resources Department folder. Links to the master copy are placed in folders for each department in the organization, so that employees from all departments can read the rules and regulations. The advantage of this approach is that when changes are made to the rules and regulations, they only need to be made to the master copy.
PTS: 1 REF: 48
44. ANS:
Self-healing disks is a new feature to NTFS introduced in Windows Server 2008. Self-healing means that when software in Windows Server 2008 runs into a damaged disk area, NTFS can heal the area without having to take down the server. NTFS self-heals by generating a “worker thread” that repairs data from the damaged area. The data is not available to the software until the worker thread completes its work. The next time the software wants to access that data, it is available for use.
PTS: 1 REF: 48
45. ANS:
The maximum length is 63 characters, but if Windows NT computers are on the network, the Windows NT computers will only recognize the first 15 characters.
Use shorter names up to 15 characters for easier typing.
The computer should have a name that is different from any other computer name on the local network or in the domain.
If no DNS server exists on the network, use only standard Internet characters, which include upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and the hyphen (-) character, but do not use only numbers.
If a DNS server is present on the network, use standard Internet characters plus additional characters such as $, %, &, *, and others.

48. ANS:
The most common cause is that Setup does not have a driver for a SCSI device or is detecting storage devices in the wrong order, such as the CD/DVD drive first. Press F6 or click the Load Driver link in the Where do you want to install Windows window, and provide a driver for the mass storage device that will hold the operating system files.
Check to make sure all adapters and controllers are working properly. Check power to all devices. Reseat adapters and controllers.
For SCSI devices: (1) Ensure the SCSI cabling is properly installed, (2) check that SCSI devices are terminated, (3) ensure SCSI devices are correctly addressed, and (4) verify the BIOS correctly recognizes all SCSI adapters. Also, be sure the SCSI boot drive is addressed as 0. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for configuring SCSI adapters and hard disk drives. Try replacing the adapter before replacing the drive(s).
For EIDE/SATA/ATA drives: (1) Check the controller, (2) ensure file I/O and disk access are set to standard, and (3) ensure the system drive is the first device recognized by the controller.
For IDE and ESDI drives: (1) Check the cabling and controller, (2) check the drive setup in the BIOS for master/slave relationships, and (3) ensure the drive is properly recognized in the BIOS.

49. ANS:
Use the Initial Configuration Tasks window to ensure that networking is correctly configured. Check the network interface card to be certain it is working. Reseat or replace the card, if necessary. Use the diagnostic software provided with the card to test for problems. If this does not work, try a card from a different manufacturer, in case there is a hardware incompatibility.

50. ANS:
Uninstalling Windows Server 2008 is a relatively straightforward process and requires you to format the partition on which it has been installed.
If you are installing another operating system, you are usually given an opportunity to format the hard drive for that operating system. Format the drive and install the other operating system. You can also use the FDISK and FORMAT utilities on a startup disk from an older Windows operating system to delete and format the partition. Another option is to use the DISKPART utility. Once the partition has been formatted, you can install a new operating system.
