I have made compleate prepration for ccna exam and study all but still unable to solve the question.
Please any one can help me how can I clear the CCNA certification in first attemp.70-624

Study hard, lab it out, learn the technologies, understand the concepts. Once you are confident in your comprehension, relax and go knock it out. Don’t worry about failing, failure should be the last thing to cross your mind. Remember, you’re just answering some questions on stuff you should know. If you’ve studied hard, you’re just a few dozen mouseclicks away from certification.
I know this sounds generic and vague, but in my opinion, that is how it should be. You’re getting tested from the same pool of questions everyone else is, and the onus is on you to show up and pass. There is no guarantee for anyone…..156-215.1

Enabling anonymous authentication for earlier applications 70-643 156-215.1 642-444
Anonymous authentication allows users and network clients to be authenticated (but not necessarily authorized to access network resources) without providing any credentials. Unlike earlier Windows operating systems, in Windows Server 2003, anonymous users are not considered to be members of the Everyone group and therefore will not be authorized to use any network resources. However, there are some scenarios in which anonymous access needs to be granted to provide compatibility with systems prior to Windows 2000. Situations in which this access might be necessary include:
Remote Access Server (RAS) servers on Windows NT 4.0 use anonymous access to determine dial-in permissions.
Windows NT 4.0 might use anonymous access to enumerate shares or gather information from domain controllers.
Anonymous access might be used to enumerate shares and users in a one-way cross-forest trust.
Earlier operating systems might use anonymous access to change passwords in Active Directory. This is accomplished through the Pre??indows 2000??ompatible access group.
If you have earlier systems in your Windows Server 2003 domain, you will need to determine which resources need anonymous access. You can then enable anonymous access by performing one of the following tasks:
Add the Anonymous Logon security principal to the ACL that needs access. This is the preferred method for enabling anonymous access to resources because it is the most granular.
Enable the Network Access: Share That Can Be Accessed Anonymously security policy setting. This security policy setting contains a list of shares that can be accessed and is useful for enabling anonymous access to a specific share on multiple computers.
Enable the Network Access: Let Everyone Permissions Apply To Anonymous Users security policy setting. This setting causes unauthenticated users to be considered members of the Everyone group, which might authorize users to access network resources without being authenticated as valid users. This setting should only be enabled when absolutely necessary, because it creates a significant, exploitable vulnerability.
Caution Apply the Anonymous Logon, Network Access: Share That Can Be Accessed Anonymously, Network Access: Let Everyone Permissions Apply To Anonymous Users settings only to the OU or server that needs them. Enabling these settings at the domain level will decrease network security.
Using Multifactor Authentication
As described earlier in this chapter, multifactor authentication significantly increases authentication security. Windows Server 2003 supports multifactor authentication by using smart cards and can support a variety of other authentication mechanisms using non-Microsoft hardware and software.
Smart cards can be required for all users in an organization. However, because of the additional cost, smart cards are often assigned only for specific users. Often network administrators are required to use smart cards because their privileges on the network would provide an attacker significant opportunity. 70-631 MB7-515 642-811 70-643
To require a smart card for interactive logon, launch the Active Directory Users And Computers console. Double-click the user account to view the properties, and click the Account tab. In the Account Options list, select Smart Card Is Required For Interactive Logon.
Requiring smart cards for authentication can cause problems with existing applications. However, if an application includes the Certified for Windows Server 2003 logo, the application has been tested to ensure that it meets Microsoft security standards for Windows Server 2003. From a security perspective, an application that is identified as Certified for Windows Server 2003 meets the following criteria:
Support smart card logons. The application should work correctly with smart card authentication and will allow smart card authentication to a terminal service.
Provide secure credential management. Ensures that users will get appropriate prompting for credentials and storing credentials. Also means that the application can use Kerberos, NTLM, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols. A user can also log on using a user principal name (UPN) format.
Can be run in a highly secure configuration. Applications can perform all primary functions in a highly secure configuration. In a highly secure configuration, applications cannot use the unsafe communication protocol NTLM; strong authentication and account policies are set; and group membership is restricted. A highly secure configuration is a system with a clean installation of Windows and with the predefined security template Hisecws.inf applied.
Provide secure network connections. Applications using network connections must not depend on protocols that are known to have vulnerabilities.
Practice: Adjusting Authentication Options
In this practice, you will secure authentication on a Windows 2003 Server by using security policy. You must be logged on to Computer1.cohowinery.com with an account that has administrative credentials to create and modify the default domain controller security policy. 642-061 70-526 MB7-517
Your company has recently updated its security policy. The new security policy specifically forbids using the LM authentication protocol to authenticate users in the cohowinery.com domain. To comply with the updated security policy, you will use the Domain Controller Security Policy console to ensure that LM authentication is not used on any cohowinery.com domain controller.

640-453 IINS Vs 642-552 SND
Posted on November 19th, 2008
Michael Foxon’s Question:
I’m already studying for the 642-552 Securing Cisco Network Devices exam but have just realised that it will be discontinued as of 17th November 08. Cisco has released a new exam 640-453 IINS which seems to be the same as 642-552. If I pass the 642-552 exam before 17th Nov will I obtain a CCNA Security?
List of helpful answers:
I just passed the SND-exam last week, so I am also curious to know if it will be converted to a CCNA security. I sent an email to my local trainingpartner. If I hear back from them, I will post the info here. — Anders Frederiksen
No, you won’t. IINS is based on SND, but had additional contents and the exam is different. AS far as I know, there is no upgrade from SND to CCNA Voice. However, if you’re pusuing SSSP, either route will do: SND or CCNA Voice. — Sergio Porter
To Sergio Porter: SSSP and CCNA:Voice….It should be CCSP and CCNA:Security — Hussain Arsalan Ali

Understanding WINS MB2-633 70-640 MB2-631 70-294
Windows Internet Networking System (WINS) is a distributed database that stores network
Basic Input/Output System (NetBIOS) names and services. The NetBIOS names
are mapped to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and, like DNS, WINS makes it possible
for you to access resources on your network using easy, friendly names instead of
hard-to-remember IP addresses. This lesson includes an overview of the WINS components
and discusses some of the terminology you will need to understand before you
can design and implement a WINS strategy for your company.
WINS Overview
Many administrators thought WINS would not be included with Windows Server 2003
and were a little surprised to see that not only it is included, but also that it has been
improved. As long as there are computers running versions of Windows older than
Windows 2000, there will be a need for WINS. The good news for those of you who
have worked with WINS in Windows 2000 is that the interface has not changed with
the 2003 version. There are a couple of new features in this newer version that make
your job as a network administrator easier.
What’s New in Windows Server 2003 70-270 70-647 642-446
Advanced WINS database filtering and search capability help you locate records
without having to look at all record types. For example, you can now look for
only records that are mapped to a specific IP address or record owner. WINS databases
can grow to be quite large and unwieldy, so this feature can save you a lot
of time.
Similar to DNS, you can now restrict or block name records from specific replication
partners and only accept name records from the WINS servers you want. For
example, you can define a list that controls which servers will update a specific
WINS server during pull replication. Push and pull replication is covered in Lesson 3.WINS Server
The WINS server is the component that enables clients to register their NetBIOS names
and IP addresses dynamically so that they do not have to be entered manually by the
administrator. The WINS server also responds to queries from clients asking for a Net-
BIOS name to be resolved to an IP address. If there is an entry for the record queried
in the WINS database, the IP address is returned to the requestor. See Table 7-4 for the
functions of a WINS server.
Just as DNS needs to replicate the information stored in a database to another DNS
server, if fault tolerance is required, WINS should be configured with a minimum of
two servers: SY0-101 70-291 70-297
A primary WINS server that performs all name registration, name renewal, name
release, and name query and resolution functions.A secondary WINS server that performs all of the same functions but is usually
used when the primary server is unavailable and the WINS client is configured
with both primary and secondary WINS servers. If the primary WINS server is
unable to resolve a name for a client that also has a secondary WINS server configured
in its list of WINS servers, the secondary WINS server database will be
examined. Windows XP and Windows 2000 clients can be configured to list as
many as 12 of these secondary WINS servers.

Cisco Retired Certification Exams
Posted on November 17th, 2008
All cisco candidates 646-229, 642-414, 646-203 will be retired in 2008 on cisco official websites. These cisco certification exam can validate candidates related knowledge, for mastering and proving your alilities, you’d better take these exams from pass4sure website. Now we talk about some cisco related certification information.
Cisco CCNA candidates need to be aware that the current CCNA, Intro, and ICND exams are being retired as of November 6, 2007.
This is actually great news for future CCNAs, since there is more than enough time to study for the 640-801 version of the CCNA exam, even if you haven’t started studying yet!
The current version of the exam, 640-801, is challenging enough as it is – but the new version of the exam, 640-802, is going to be even more challenging! Among the new topics covered on the 640-802 exam are Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), IP Version 6 (IPv6), router security, switch security, VPNs, and wireless routing.
Why is Cisco making these changes? Cisco no longer wants the CCNA to be seen as an “entry level” certification, and I personally think that’s a welcome change. I’ve been writing CCNA ebooks and teaching in-person and internet-based CCNA courses for years, and I’ve always refused to refer to the CCNA as “entry level”. Cisco’s new entry-level certification is the CCENT, Cisco Certified Entry Level Technician, and we’ll talk about that certification in a future article.
For now, it’s important to realize that you have plenty of time to prepare for the current 640-801 exam. By doing so, you’ll earn one of the most valuable certifications avaiable today. Cisco does a tremendous job in protecting the value of its certifications, and any time spend on earning the CCNA is time well-spent.
The 640-802 CCNA exam will be available on August 1, but again, the current 640-801 exam will be available through November 5. If you want to get CCNA certified, now is definitely the time to get the job done – so get started, book your exam date today, and get CCNA certified!

Pass4sure Cisco 642-642 testing

? When designing a system that sy0-101 enables your company to have access to the Internet,
you might want to consider having more than one link to connect to the Internet,
especially if your company relies on the connectivity to do business. Relying on the
uptime of an ISP for sales and electronic communications can be a high risk for any
company.
? Before designing redundanc y into your connectivity design, you should verify that
redundancy is required. If your company CompTIA Security+ does not require connectivity to the
Internet to do its business, you can spend your IT budget in other areas.
? You should determine the cost to the company if downtime occurs. It is very
important that you be able to quantify the cost associated with downtime as it
relates to Internet connectivity problems. That is, how much could the company
afford to lose for each minute remote users or company employees cannot connect
to the Internet?
? In designing redundancy into your network, you should identify any hardware
components that might become 642-901 points of failure to your network because they are
the only means by which users can do their jobs. For example, if the dial-in server
available for remote users to connect to the company’s network becomes unavailable,
what will happen?
? Before selecting an ISP for the implementation of your VPN or connectivity to the
Internet, you should consider how reliable the ISP’s Internet uplink is, how stable
the vendor is financially, and whether the CCNP vendor offers your company any guarantees
or service-level agreements, such as 99 percent uptime. You should also
determine if your ISP offers any security features, such as intrusion detection systems
or firewalls, and if the ISP gives your company reports showing daily or
weekly usage of bandwidth that will help you plan for growth.
that the clock speed of a central processing unit (CPU) would exponentially increase
over the next 20 years, was accurate almost to the megahertz. Memory, another hardware
component that has increased at a 70-647 phenomenal rate, is not the bottleneck in our
high-tech world of today. It seems that bandwidth is still our biggest liability; we don’t
have enough of it. In this lesson, you look at bandwidth and how your design must
take into account the bandwidth requirements to make your connectivity to the Internet
productive.Just as airlines overbook flights, most ISPs oversubscribe bandwidth. By oversubscribing
bandwidth, the ISP is counting on all of their customers not simultaneously
using 100 percent of the bandwidth they are allocated, in the same way
airlines count on some customers not using their plane tickets.
? You will most likely be sharing your company’s available bandwidth among many
network services. It is very important that a thorough analysis be made of the type
of traffic that will be using any links.
? When calculating the MCITP bandwidth requirements for a VPN, you should know how
many users will need to access the network, if VoIP, e-mail, or Web servers will
also use the VPN bandwidth, and how much bandwidth these additional services
will require.
? You should look at the traffic your network is transmitting during peak hours, and
determine if that traffic can be transmitted during periods of low bandwidth usage.
For example, employees can be directed to perform certain transfers of data during
nonpeak usage hours.
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a protocol that enables a private network to
connect to the Internet. A mapping table is created on the NAT server that maps
all internal IP addresses with port numbers and the external 642-642 IP address chosen by
the company.
? NAT was created as a temporary solution to the problem of a shortage of IP
addresses available to handle the large number of users requesting them from the
InterNIC.
? The NAT server forwards packets from Internet-based users to the computers on
the company’s private network. The NAT server drops packets that do not have a
matching port number in the session mapping table.
? NAT Traversal technology enables an application to detect that a NAT server is
being used on the network, 640-816 automatically configures the port mappings, and
dynamically opens and closes the ports without user intervention.

How Will the Present Economy Affect Employee Certification Training
Posted on November 7th, 2008
Desperate times normally bring out the creativity in the human person. Poverty is said to be the mother of all invention. The present economic imbroglio is unnerving to the IT professional. The signs are blatantly displayed that there is a uneasiness in the technology world. I’ve had the opportunity to interact with a group of workers who are currently in limbo after learning that their company was bought out by a corporate giant. Oh yes, the days of being secure in your IT job are gone. The professional has to make himself or herself valuable to the stakeholder. That acronym rings through, ROI. Being an active observer for the past eleven years, I fully understand and support the posture of the decision makers as regards maximizing their training dollar. I have witnessed abuse by a minority of employees who viewed training as a day off. Just a way to be off the job. I have seen the majority of employees really working to achieve professional advancement and then not rewarded for their effort. In some cases it was just wastage of training dollars, the money had to be used up before the next year or the department would lose it. Goodbye to those days.
The days of the easy release of training dollars for employees by employers are over. No longer will employees be allowed to peruse the corridors of training institutions with impunity. The present economic turmoil has sealed that door. The need for certified employees is still a high priority but with the uncertainty of the business environment, these dollars are not going to be wasted. The big words, RETURN ON INVESTMENT! The adult/learner/employee has to evaluate the needs of the organization to which they are affiliated and go for it.
Every business enterprise that is connected to the internet has one major concern, SECURITY! Not only are these organizations tightening their approach to information security but they are, in some cases, mandated to display to stakeholders, their security posture. Compliance laws, directives and regulations like HIPAA, SOX,and Gramm-Leach-Bliley has made it a matter of successful or failing business ventures. Today the average network employee is being exposed to a whole new daily jargon. Privacy, confidentiality, integrity, availability, due care, due diligence, prudent person and on and on. The well-known network compromises of the last decade has created an environment that defines territory. Networks are already in place. They have been designed with speed and availability as the priority service. Not security. The old 80/20 rule of networking no longer applies. The evolution of communication from closed to open has redefined networks. A few years ago, you would see a few network security books on the shelves. Today there are books on Security+; Certified Ethical Hacking; Data Forensics, CISSP just to mention a few. The employee/stakeholder has finally accepted the fact that network staff is in a battle for control. The bad dudes are out there. Networks devices, applications, processes are all vulnerable ( check the SANS.org vulnerability list).
Most students I’ve met, have the needed knowledge of IT. The deviation is moving into the security field. What I love about it is that it is dynamic. There is a new challenge everyday. The Security + certification ( Comptia) is a phenomenal start. This program introduces the student to basic concepts of information security. Cisco has recently created the CCNA Security specialization. SANS has some great classes, so does Planet 3 for the WiFi heads. The need for qualified security personnel is overwhelming, this presents an opportunity for the serious networker to advance his/her career and be rewarded for it.
