Microsoft Managing & Maintaining a Windows Server 2003

Managing and Maintaining Physical and Logical Devices

  • In order to convert a hard disk from a basic disk to a dynamic disk, you can use Disk Management or DISKPART.EXE tool.
  • The data disk’s status is Unreadable on the file server. In order to enable users to access data stored on the file server, you will have to rescan the disk. For dynamic disks, the Unreadable status usually results from corruption or I/O errors on part of the disk, rather than the failure of the entire disk.
  • Microsoft Windows 2003 offers two types of disk storage configurations: basic disk and dynamic disk.
  • In order to increase the space for storing users’ data, you will have to use the Disk Management tool to extend the users’ data volume by using the unallocated space of a disk. Administrators can extend simple or extended volumes that are not system or boot volumes as long as there is available disk space. Administrators can extend a simple or spanned volume on a dynamic disk if it does not have a file system or if it is formatted using the NTFS file system.

Installation

  • Fiber-optic cables use optical fibers to carry digital data signals in the form of modulated pulses of light.
  • Enhanced Capabilities Port (ECP) is a high-speed parallel port developed by Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft in 1992. It offers improved performance for the parallel port and requires special hardware logic. ECP ports support high throughput communications.
  • It is recommended to verify the hardware on the Linux hardware compatibility list before installing the operating system on a computer.
  • The BNC connectors are required to join the network interface card in the computer with the coaxial network cable.
  • Before installing Linux on a new computer, it is recommended to verify that each device is listed in the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).

MCTS 70-503-CSHARP Short Notes: Exam Passing Tips

Creating Services

    • The [OperationContract] attribute is applied to a method indicating that the method implements a service operation as part of a service contract. This attribute should be defined before each method specified in a WCF application code.
    • The TransactionTimeout property of the [ServiceBehavior] attribute gets or sets the time in the format “HH:MM:SS” within which a transaction must complete.
    • The [Service Contract] attribute is used to an interface or a class to define a service contract in a WCF application.
    • The TransactionFlowOption enumeration specifies the transaction flow policy for a service operation. It is used with the TransactionFlow attribute that specifies whether a service operation accepts incoming transactions from a client. The OperationBehaviorAttribute.TransactionAutoComplete property gets or sets a value to indicate whether the current transaction scope has been automatically completed if no unhandled exceptions occur.
    • Uploading the XML file in as a stream will work better for uploading large files. Streams can load large amounts of data, or large files that are read into most programs. Therefore, you should create the following operation contract:
      [OperationContract()] void UploadFile(Stream xmlData)
    • In order to handle complex data types, you should use the [KnownType(typeof())] attribute with the data contract. The [KnownType] attribute is specifically meant to be used with structures, classes, interfaces, and other complex data types.
