remove the words "and fault tolerance".


Page 11: Remove Reference To Alpha-Based Computers

Page 140: Incorrect Information About Host Name And Computer NetBIOS Name
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

On page 140, in the first paragraph under "Understanding Host Names" and in the
first paragraph under "Purpose of Host Names", it states that the host name does
not have to match the NetBIOS computer name when running Windows 2000. This is
incorrect. In Windows 2000, you cannot specify different host (Directory Naming
Service, or DNS) and computer (NetBIOS) names.

Under "Understanding Host Names" change:
"For computers running Windows 2000, the host name does not have to match the
Windows 2000 computer name."

To:
"For computers running Windows 2000, the host name always matches the Windows
2000 computer name."

"The host name does not have to match the NetBIOS computer name"

To:
"The host name always matches the NetBIOS computer name in Windows 2000"

Change:
"A DNS server will only return the information it has in cache, including the
potential of an error, when a client makes a recursive request."

including the potential of an error, when a client makes a recursive request"

"The DHCP server never registers the name-to-address (A-type records) mapping
information for DHCP clients."

lookups (PTR-type records) with DNS."


Page 247:  Incorrect Steps In "To allow dynamic updates for DHCP clients that do not support Dynamic DNS updates"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On page 247, in the first bulleted section, there is a list of the steps for
enabling the "dynamic update for DHCP clients that do not support dynamic DNS
updates" option through the DNS management console. This is incorrect, as this
option is enabled through the DHCP, not DNS, management console.

Change:
"1. Click Start, point to Program, point to Administrative Tools, then click
DNS.
2. In the console tree, click the applicable zone."
...

"5. Select Only Secure Updates If Your Zone Type is Active
Directory-Integrated."

To:
"1. Click Start, point to Program, point to Administrative Tools, then click
DHCP.
2. In the console tree, click the applicable server."
...

"172.30.188.10
172.30.188.11"


Page 332: Remove The Last Sentence In Lesson Summary
----------------------------------------------------

On page 332, under "Lesson Summary", remove the last sentence.

Page 334: CSP stands for "Cryptograhic Service Provider" (CSP)
--------------------------------------------------------------

Cryptographic Service Provider. This acronym (CSP) is introduced on this page,

it stands for. There is not an entry in the Glossary section for it.

Change:
"(accessible to Certificate Services through a CryptoAPI CSP)"

To:
"(accessible to Certificate Services through a CryptoAPI Cryptographic Service
Provider (CSP))"


Page 337: "Stand-Alone Subordinate CA" Should Be "Stand-Alone Root CA"
----------------------------------------------------------------------

On page 337, "Stand-Alone Subordinate CA" should be "Stand-Alone Root CA".

To:
"Practice: Installing a Stand-Alone Root CA"

Also change:
"To install a stand-alone subordinate CA"

To:
"To install a stand-alone root CA"
