Question 5

Microsoft's ____ makes it possible for older, less capable PCs, thin clients, or narrow-bandwidth remote users to run large or complex Windows applications by transferring the burden of client processing to the server.
A)Remote Desktop
B)NetMeeting
C)Grid Computing
D)Terminal Services

Accepted Answer

Terminal Services is designed to allow remote users to access and use Windows software installed on a server without having to install that software on their own computers. It transfers the processing burden to the server, allowing older or less capable PCs, thin clients, or narrow-bandwidth remote users to efficiently run large or complex Windows applications. Remote Desktop and NetMeeting are both remote access tools, but they do not specifically address the issue of processing power for resource-intensive applications. Grid Computing is a technology used to link geographically dispersed computers to act in a coordinated way to perform large-scale tasks, and is not directly related to addressing the processing power of individual machines.

Question 6

NFS allows a Web browser to carry out traditional file system tasks, including file reads, file writes, file locking, and version control.

Accepted Answer

NFS (Network File System) is a protocol for accessing remote files over a network. It is not related to web browsing or web technologies.

Question 7

PCs and so-called "____ clients" attached to a terminal server of some kind can access a mainframe.
A)dumb
B)mobile
C)remote
D)thin

Accepted Answer

The term "thin client" refers to a type of client that relies heavily on the server for processing tasks, rather than having a lot of processing power of its own. Thin clients are often used in conjunction with terminal servers to access mainframes.

Question 8

Mac OS X is built on a(n)____ core.
A)Windows
B)UNIX
C)NetWare
D)Apple

Accepted Answer

Mac OS X is built on a UNIX core, specifically a variant called "Darwin." This is what allows it to have Unix-like features such as a command line interface and support for shell scripting.

Question 9

Enabling PC clients to access NFS requires adding software to those clients.

Accepted Answer

PC clients do not have built-in support for NFS and therefore require additional software, such as NFS client software, to access NFS shares.

Question 11

A ____ is a bare-bones PC that includes little more than a local keyboard, display device, network interface, and enough memory and processing power to access the network to connect to a server running Terminal Services.
A)thin client
B)terminal
C)tablet PC
D)user agent

Accepted Answer

A thin client is a type of computer that relies heavily on a server to perform most of its processing tasks. It usually has minimal hardware components, such as a local keyboard, display device, and network interface, and relies on a server to provide the majority of the processing power and memory. Thin clients are often used in environments where centralized management and security is important, such as in schools, hospitals, and large organizations. Terminal Services is a Microsoft technology that allows remote users to access Windows-based programs and applications over a network connection. Thin clients are often used in conjunction with Terminal Services to provide remote access to desktop applications and resources.

Question 12

In an Apple Macintosh network, MS-DOS clients must have ____ PC software to use file and print services offered by Apple servers.
A)Services for Macintosh
B)LocalTalk
C)AppleShare
D)AppleTalk

Accepted Answer

MS-DOS clients must have AppleShare software to use file and print services offered by Apple servers in a Macintosh network.

Question 13

Prioritizing client software speeds access to network resources.

Accepted Answer

Prioritizing client software helps to optimize and allocate network resources efficiently, which in turn speeds up access to those resources for the client.

Question 14

In ____, mainframes perform all processing, and "dumb" terminals connect directly to the mainframe.
A)peer-to-peer systems
B)grid computing
C)centralized computing
D)client/server computing

Accepted Answer

In centralized computing, all processing is performed by the mainframe and terminals only function as input/output devices. This was a common architecture in the early days of computing before the advent of client/server computing and peer-to-peer systems.

Question 15

The directory into which an NFS volume is mounted is referred to as the share point.

Accepted Answer

The directory into which an NFS volume is mounted is referred to as the mount point, not the share point.

Question 16

The Microsoft redirector is designed to access CIFS or NFS-based file systems across a network.

Accepted Answer

The Microsoft redirector is designed to access CIFS (Common Internet File System) based file systems, not NFS (Network File System) based file systems.
