ALTHOUGH WINDOWS XP DOES SUPPORT USING LPR, IT DOES NOT AUTOMATI-CALLY CONFIGURE LPR FROM WEB-BASED PRINTER MANAGEMENT

4.

Correct Answers: B

A. Incorrect:

Although Windows XP does support using LPR, it does not automati-

cally configure LPR from Web-based printer management.

B. Correct:

If the client’s Internet Explorer security settings for the print server are

set to Medium or higher, Windows XP creates an IPP printer connection using an

HTTP port. In this case, the print server is on the Internet, and therefore Internet

Explorer will assign the print server the Medium security level by default.

C. Incorrect:

Windows XP uses RPC true-connect only if the client’s Internet

Explorer settings are set to Medium-Low or lower. In this case, the print server is

on the Internet, and therefore Internet Explorer will assign the print server the

Medium security level by default.

D. Incorrect:

Although Windows XP does support using a Standard TCP/IP Port, it

will not automatically configure this port type from Web-based printer manage-

ment.

Configure and Manage File Systems

Windows XP Professional supports both basic disks and dynamic disks. Basic disks are

the only format available to Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, and earlier operating sys-

tems. Dynamic disks support three different types of volumes: simple volumes,

spanned volumes, and striped volumes. Simple volumes exist within a single disk.

Spanned volumes concatenate multiple disks into a single volume. Striped volumes are

similar to spanned volumes in that they combine multiple drives. However, striped vol-

umes also improve performance because they enable data to be read from or written

to both disks simultaneously.

Windows XP supports FAT and NTFS file systems for accessing local disks. The FAT16

and FAT32 file systems allow for dual booting with Windows 95, Windows 98, or

Windows Me. NTFS is the preferred file system, however, and adds user-level file

permissions, compression, encryption, disk quotas, volume mount points, directory

junctions, and more. Windows XP provides the Convert.exe tool to convert from FAT

to NTFS for users upgrading from previous operating systems.

Several additional file systems are available for accessing removable media. Floppy

disks are formatted with FAT12, a version of FAT optimized for low-capacity media.

The CD-ROM File System (CDFS) is the standard format for CD-ROMs. Universal Disk

Format (UDF) is primarily used for digital video disc (DVD) access.
