第1题：
You are the administrator of Ezonexam's network. You want to deploy a Windows 2000 Professional service pack to 10 computers in the Development organizational unit.
You create a Windows 2000 installer package file for the service pack. You use the package file to successfully install the service pack to other computers in the domain. You assign the package file to the Development organizational unit. After the installation, you notice that the service pack was not installed on any of the 10 computers.
You want to ensure that the service pack is successfully installed on the computers in the Development organizational unit. What should you do?
A．Use Computer Management to start the Windows installer service on all the computers in the Development organizational unit
B．Use the local administrator account to log on to the computers in the Development organizational unit. Then redeploy the service pack to the computers in the Development organizational unit.
C．Run Windows Installer to repair the package file. Then redeploy the service pack to the computers in the Development organizational unit.
D．Add the user accounts from the Development organizational unit to a DACL. Grant the user accounts read permission to the service pack deployment directory.
正确答案：D
解析：Explanation: Before users can access resources on Windows 2000, they must be assigned the appropriate permissions to those resources. In this scenario the users from the Development OU need to be assigned read permission to the deployment directory, which is an object, to be able to start the installation process. Objects, such as the deployment directory, use a DACL (discretionary access control list) to check whether users or groups have been allowed or denied permissions to the object that they are attempting to access. Therefore, the user accounts of the Development OU must be added to the DACL of the deployment folder.
Incorrect answers:
A: This is not the most likely problem. The most likely problem is that the user accounts do not have appropriate permissions on the service pack deployment directory.
B: Assigned software does not need to be installed with any special user account. There is thus no need to log on with the local administrator account.
C: As the package was installed successfully on other computers in the domain, the problem does not lie with the installation package. Instead it lies with the Development OU's lack of the appropriate permissions to access the deployment directory.

The Development of American Postal System
In the early days of the United States,postal charges were paid by the recipient and charges varied with the distance carried.In 1825,the United States Congress permitted local postmasters to give letters to mail carriers for home delivery,but these carriers received no government salary and their entire compensation depended on what they were paid by the recipients of individual letters.In 1847,the United States Post Office Department adopted the idea of a postage stamp,which of course simplified the payment for postal service but caused grumbling by those who did not like to prepay. Besides,the stamp covered only delivery to the post office and did not include carrying it to a private address.In Philadelphia,for example,with a population of 150,000,people still had to go to the post office to get their mail.The confusion and congestion of individual citizens looking for their letters was itself enough to discourage use of the mail. It is no wonder that,during the years of these cumbersome arrangements,private letter-carrying and express businesses developed.Although their activities were only semi legal,they thrived and actually advertised that between Boston and Philadelphia they were half-day speedier than the government mail. The government postal service lost volume to private competition and was not able to handle efficiently even the business it had.Finally,in 1863,Congress provided that the mail carriers who delivered the mail from the post offices to private addresses should receive a government salary,and that there should be no extra charge for that delivery.But this delivery service was at first confined to cities,and free home delivery became a sign of urbanization.In 1890,of the 75 million people in the United States,fewer than 20 million had mail delivered free to their doors.The rest,nearly three quarters of the population,still received no mail unless they went to their post office.

In the early days of the United States,postal charges were paid by the recipient and charges varied with the distance carried.In 1825,the United States Congress permitted local postmasters to give letters to mail carriers for home delivery,but these carriers received no government salary and their entire compensation depended on what they were paid by the recipients of individual letters.In 1847,the United States Post Office Department adopted the idea of a postage stamp,which of course simplified the payment for postal service but caused grumbling by those who did not like to prepay. Besides,the stamp covered only delivery to the post office and did not include carrying it to a private address.In Philadelphia,for example,with a population of 150,000,people still had to go to the post office to get their mail.The confusion and congestion of individual citizens looking for their letters was itself enough to discourage use of the mail. It is no wonder that,during the years of these cumbersome arrangements,private letter-carrying and express businesses developed.Although their activities were only semi legal,they thrived and actually advertised that between Boston and Philadelphia they were half-day speedier than the government mail. The government postal service lost volume to private competition and was not able to handle efficiently even the business it had.Finally,in 1863,Congress provided that the mail carriers who delivered the mail from the post offices to private addresses should receive a government salary,and that there should be no extra charge for that delivery.But this delivery service was at first confined to cities,and free home delivery became a sign of urbanization.In 1890,of the 75 million people in the United States,fewer than 20 million had mail delivered free to their doors.The rest,nearly three quarters of the population,still received no mail unless they went to their post office.
