Page 27, third paragraph:

Change: "If you want to participate on the Internet you must use a unique IP addresses."

To: "If you want to participate on the Internet you must use a unique IP address."

Page 40: Corrections to text in last paragraph
In order to make question 2, on page 43, and the corresponding answer on page 605, clearly understood, the last paragraph on page 40 will need to be changed.

Change the last paragraph, starting at the second sentence, from:

"Generally, you can calculate the amount of RAM required for an account database as 2.5 times the size of the database. The following table shows some examples of RAM requirements for different database sizes."

To:

"Generally, you can calculate the minimum amount of RAM required for an account database as 2.5 times the size of the database. The following table shows some general guidelines for RAM requirements for different database sizes."

Page 41: Label table as Hardware Guidelines
The table at the top of page 41 needs to be labeled as "Hardware Guidelines" to correspond with references to it on page 605.

Page 43: The answer to question 2 is based on Hardware Guidelines
Question 2 on page 43 should be modified so that the answer is based on the Hardware Guidelines rather than the formula 2.5 times the size of the database.

Change:

"Based on the hardware used, what is the largest directory database file size?"

To:

"Based on the hardware used, and the Hardware Guidelines, what is the largest directory database file size?"

Page 44: Text Clarification
Page 44, under the subheading Designing The Directory Services Structure For Miller Textiles:

The four primary sites are Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, and Portland. Corporate headquarters is located in Boston.

Page 47: Additional text needed to clarify exercise
Additional text is necessary to clarify the exercise on pages 46 and 47.

Add the following text to the end of the first paragraph on page 47:

"This region supports 20,000 users; 6,000 are in Singapore, the others are distributed evenly among subsidiaries."

Add hint to the bottom of the page.

[HINT]: Singapore is considered both headquarters and a subsidiary. Make sure you don't count it twice.

Page 48: Regini.exe Should Not Be Listed Under Lesson Summary
On page 48, under the Lesson Summary section titled "For More Information", Regini.exe is listed but has not been mentioned in Chapter 1. It is not addressed until Chapter 3.

This reference should be deleted as it is already referenced in the Chapter 3, Lesson 4, Summary.

Page 54: Question 3 refers to an Application Server
On page 54, in question 3, change the wording to alleviate confusion between a File and Print Servers and an Application Servers.

Change:

To:

"What resource has the greatest impact on an application server's system performance?"

Page 58: Yes Is The Default Value For Domain Controllers Only
On page 58, the second paragrah under "Configure the Computer as Follows" should state that Yes is the default value for a Primary Domain Controller or a Backup Domain Controller. The default value for NT Server running as "Stand Alone" is Auto.

Change:

"Yes is the default value on a computer running Windows NT Server."

To:

"Yes is the default value on a computer running Windows NT Server as a Primary Domain Controller or a Backup Domain Controller."

Page 64: Diagram Correction
Diagram on page 64:

Page 82, paragraph 6, sentence 2:

Change: "...only if they belong to a trusting domain."

To: "...only if they belong to a trusted domain."

In the last sentence of the first paragraph, change "trusted domain", to "trusting domain".

Sentence should read:

"Members of this group can administer the domain, the servers and workstations of the domain, and a trusting domain that has added the Domain Admins global group from this domain to the Administrators local group in the trusting domain."

Page 104: Text Correction
Page 104, question 6:

Change: "If a user logs on to a domain that has System Policy Editor, but System Policy Editor has not been defined for that user, what happens next?"

To: "If a user logs on to a domain that has system policy, but system policy has not been defined for that user, what happens next?"

Page 110: Diagram needs suitable labeling of objects
On page 110, the diagram of the Synchronization Process should include appropriate labeling so that the description above the diagram is easier to understand.

Page 115: Diagram mislabeled
On Page 115, in the diagram at the top of the page, the domain controller on the left, where arrows 1 and 3 end, has been wrongly labeled as BDC. It should be PDC.

Page 123: First group in diagram should be Administrators
On Page 123, in the diagram toward the bottom of the page, the first local group in the shaded list on the left is shown as Administration. It should be Administrators.

Page 126: In the illustration, the domain on the left should be Trusted not Trusting
In the illustration on page 126, both domains are labeled as Trusting. The domain on the left should be the Trusted Domain.

Page 155: Change Text for Bottom Illustration
Change the text on the bottom of page 155, under the illustration to read:

Page 177: Question revisions
Page 177, question 1:

Change: "List two disadvantages of using TCP/IP and two advantages of using DHCP."

To: "List two disadvantages of using static TCP/IP addresses and two advantages of using DHCP assigned addresses."

Answer to question 2 is not covered in the material.

The answer to question 2 is IPCONFIG. However, IPCONFIG is not discussed in the lesson.

The following information should be added to the lesson material:

To view IP information on a Windows NT client, use the IPCONFIG utility.

Page 178: Questions not covered in material and not answered
On page 178, the second part of question 5 is not covered in the material and is not answered in the back of the book on page 616.

Change:

"How is WINS used with NWLink?"

To:

"How is WINS used with NetBIOS?"

Page 210: Misplaced illustration
The illustration at the top of page 210 should be move to replace the illustration at the bottom of the page. The illustration on the bottom of page 210 is a duplicate of the illustration on page 211. The appropriate illustration will then need to be inserted above the text on page 210.

Page 278: Contradiction
The first bullet point on page 278 states that if the Pages/sec value has extended periods with the number of pages per second over five, memory may be a bottleneck in the system. The chart on page 279 states that the acceptable average range of pages/sec is 0-20.

Strictly speaking, the chart on page 279 is correct. However, in general the value should be much lower than 20. 5 pages/sec is a better target to shoot for.

Page 287: Text Correction
Page 287, first paragraph:

Change: "To full understand how to find network bottlenecks"

To: "To fully understand how to find network bottlenecks"

Page 289: Typographical Error

The second item in the table on page 328 is out of place. This line needs to be shifted to the left.
