B. You should install WSS 3.0 using the Advanced installation as a front-end web server. You cannot install SQL Server on Windows Server 2003 Web Edition; therefore, you must install WSS as a front-end web server. Only the Advanced installation option has this feature.

A. You should install a clean copy of Windows Server 2003. This alleviates any remaining files or configurations from the original installation of WSS that you want to replace.

C. You should install ASP.NET and enable ASP.NET 2.0. You should not uninstall the .NET Framework 3.0 since it is necessary for WSS 3.0. It is not necessary to install SQL Server 2005 with Service Pack 2 since WSS 3.0 will create a Windows Internal Database on the server.

D. You should open the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12. This is the location commonly called the "12 hive," which contains all the installation files for WSS 3.0. The other locations are not correct.

C. You should install the .NET Framework 3.0. You should not uninstall SMTP. You cannot upgrade Windows Server 2003 Web Edition to Standard Edition, and it is not necessary since the Web edition is fine for a front-end web server. You cannot install SQL Server 2005 on the Web edition of Windows Server 2003.

B. You should choose the Advanced installation and then select Web Front End as the server type. With this option, you can use either WSS01 or another server to hold the SQL Server databases created during the WSS 3.0 installation. The Basic installation and Advanced installation using the Stand-Alone option cannot be used to upgrade to a server farm environment.

B, D. You should first click the Web Service Extensions folder to select it. Then in the details pane, you should click ASP.NET v2.0.50727, and click Allow.

A, C. On the Configure SharePoint Central Administration Web Application page, you can specify the port number for the web application and configure the security settings by either choosing NTLM or Kerberos.

B. The home page of the SharePoint Central Administration site opens at the end of the installation of WSS 3.0 on the first web server for your farm. No other web applications have been created at this point.

B. You should open Central Administration, and on the Operations page under Topology and Services, select WSS01 and start the search service. No results are displaying because the search service has not been started on WSS01.

C. You should set up a one-way trust between the two domains so that the perimeter domain trusts the corporate domain. The other options will not satisfy the required security necessary for communication between the two domains.

A. You should change the security on the search accounts so they are not members of the farm administrators group. The WSS 3.0 search account should only have read access to the farm and the search content access account should only have read/write access to the content databases it is searching.

D. You should configure the database server for mixed mode, SQL, and Windows authentication. Use SQL authentication to communicate with the web front-end servers. The other options risk security or require extra hardware or administration.

B. You should install WSS 3.0 on WSS02 as the first server in the farm and WSS03 and WSS01 as additional servers. The first server installed in the farm hold the Central Administration web application.

B. You should ensure the .NET Framework 3.0 is installed. Microsoft Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) does not need to be installed separately. It is included with the .NET Framework 3.0.

A, D. You should open the IIS Manager, select WSS01, and ensure Allow is selected for ASP.NET v2.0.50727. Do the same for WSS02. ASP.NET is a component of IIS, not DNS.

B. You should open IIS. The SharePoint Central Administration v3 application pool is found in IIS under the name of the first server installed as a web front end.

A. You should add the Central Administration site to your list of trusted sites in the Internet Explorer browser. You cannot use Firefox and have full functionality for Central Administration.

A, B. You should configure the SMTP service in IIS. Then on the Operations page in Central Administration, configure incoming email settings.

A, B, E. You should look for the SharePoint configuration database, Central Administration content database, and the Search database. There is only one configuration database per farm. Also, the only web application created during a server farm installation is the Central Administration web application; therefore, it is the only content database.
