NT4 Workstation TOPICS

Hardware	Minimum hardware requirements of NT 4 (processor, disk, memory)
Setup	Lots of Qs on UDFs: computer specific info (comp name) unattend.txt: unattended answer files sysdiff.exe: stages of running sysdiff.exe How many of each for scenarios given? What does sysdiff.exe do (automate application installation during NT setup) (remember: windiff.exe is an NT Server 3.51 RK utility) Can't upgrade an HPFS partition to NT 4 (convert to NTFS; then upgrade) Unistalling NT (back to DOS) - 2 Qs. (35 out of 162 Qs in Beta: UDFs, unattend.txt, sysdiff.exe)

TCP/IP	Three basic items for IP (IP address, S/N mask, default gateway) Know what DHCP does Know what WINS does Know what DNS does: name resolution Internet Domain names à IP address (several Qs)
Architecture	*Start an application min/maximised: start /min .exe or start /max .exe* Start an application with different priority: start /low, /normal, /high, /realtime Running a 16-bit app in its own memory space Application types supported in NT 4 (DOS, Win16, Win32, OS2, Posix) How do you run a Posix application under NT 4?
