Q:

What is the difference between a Windows server operating system and a workstation version?

Answer

The server version of a Windows operating system is designed to provide more optimized networking services over a network. It can manage domains better and it includes more security feature and data backup support. Workstation versions act merely as clients and therefore do not need to have as much resources when compared to the server versions.

Q:

You want to implement Active Directory on your Windows 2000 network. Your network consists of Windows 2000 Server computers, Windows 2000 Professional computers, Windows NT Workstation 4.0 computers, and Windows 98 computers. You want to achieve optimum functionality of all the client computers with Active Directory. What should you do?

A) Install the Directory Service Client on all of the Windows 98 computers. B) Upgrade all of the Windows 98 computers to Windows 2000 Professional
C) Upgrade all of the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 computers and Windows 98 computers to Windows 2000 Professional D) Nothing. Windows 2000 will automatically detect all client computers and optimize them to function with Active Directory.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Upgrade all of the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 computers and Windows 98 computers to Windows 2000 Professional

Explanation:

To achieve optimum functionality of the client computers, you must upgrade all of them to Windows 2000. Upgrading some of them and/or installing the Directory Service Client will gain some functionality, but the question specifically states that "optimum functionality" is the required result.

Q:

You are considering upgrading a Windows NT Workstation 4.0 computer on your network to Windows 2000 Professional. The computer has 12 applications installed in addition to the operating system. All the applications are compatible with Windows 2000. The end user would benefit from the additional features Windows 2000 provides. What action should you take? 

A) Upgrade the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 computer to Windows 2000 Server B) Upgrade the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 computer to Windows 2000 Professional
C) Perform a clean install of Windows 2000 Professional on the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 computer D) Don't upgrade the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 computer, but install the Directory Service Client on it instead
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Upgrade the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 computer to Windows 2000 Professional

Explanation:

Upgrading the computer to Windows 2000 Professional is probably the best choice given that the current operating system is Windows NT Workstation 4.0 (which upgrades easily to Windows 2000 Professional) and the fact that the computer has 12 additional applications installed on it that would need to be reinstalled and reconfigured if a clean install was performed.
