Test # 70-079

 I passed IEAK today, and need to share my thoughts on this exam. This is my seventh exam that I have passed. While most Microsoft tests have that obscure tone in some of the questions, this one took the cake and was very challenging due to the obscurity level.

The sources that I used to study were the Exam Cram, authored by David Johnson & Tim Catura-Houser and Transcender.

So as not to violate the non-disclosure agreement, I will do my best to contribute the themes of my test and just warn against taking this exam if you are not very familiar with Microsoft's contortions of the English language in their exam questions.

Know zone permissions cold:

Low: Prompts for unsigned ActiveX controls

Prompts for Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked safe for scripting

Allows signed without prompting

Allows file downloads

Medium: DISABLES downloads of unsigned ActiveX controls

Prompts for Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked safe for scripting

Prompts for signed ActiveX controls

Prompts the user before submitting non-encrypted form data

Allows file downloads

High: Disables downloads of signed and unsigned ActiveX components]

Prompts the user before submitting nin-encrypted form data

Disables file downloads, and Java applets

 

Know what settings are RETAINED in an upgrade from IE3 to IE4,(security zones and plug-ins will not import) and in a migration from Netscape- 3 Q's on this with bizarre wording

Know how to create a software distribution channel- 3 questions on this

Custom bitmaps- 2 Q's, one on 'active setup flashing bitmap', and the path of the bitmap file which you need to specify in the IEAK wizard

 

Know how to bypass Proxy for a secure internet site

Corp Admin, ISP, and ICP-lots of Q's on what you can & can't do

know .js, .jvs, .pac are auto proxy files, and how to use them

know .ins files-6 very flavorful questions on these

remember that an .exe uses parameters (switch) and .cab files need command values

 t-shooting Q's were the only give -aways on the exam, so know these without hesitation-ping, tracert,ipconfig, winipcfg, netmon

Know how to set up NetMeeting on an intranet

Know how to modify the history file parameters to set up a user's autocomplete if it should fail eg:the URL changes and the user now has to type 42,000 =) characters before it kicks in.....what do you do to fix this? delete both of the URL references from the history folder, and manually reenter the URL so it's now in the cache....

Know what to do when you receive the error "no policy files found" when you try to open IEAK Profile Mgr....

Need to reboot the system before opening Profile Mgr for the first time after installing IEAK, also need to reboot client system in order for imported info to appear in OE

Know how to optimize bandwidth if are currently running a single IIS server-soln was to set up Proxy and cache pages, this one was more of a proxy question

There were only 7 of the required and optional desired results type questions, but all of them had 2-parts to the required results.

The total time is 90 minutes and there are 70 Q's on the exam, so it's time consuming...pace yourself....=)

Hope this helps! Good Luck!
