050-696 Question #82: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is C. SERVER -NA. The SERVER -NA switch starts a NetWare server while skipping execution of the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, allowing troubleshooting of startup command errors.
Question
Your OES NetWare server is experiencing problems during startup. You suspect the problem lies with a command in the AUTOEXEC . NCF file. You want to boot the server without processing the AUTOEXEC . NCF file. Which command can be entered from the DOS prompt to start the operating system without executing AUTOEXEC . NCF?
Options
- ASERVER
- BSERVER -S
- CSERVER -NA
- DSERVER -NS
- ESERVER -NOAUTO
Explanation
The SERVER -NA switch starts a NetWare server while skipping execution of the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, allowing troubleshooting of startup command errors.
Common mistakes.
- A. Running SERVER with no flags causes the OS to process both STARTUP.NCF and AUTOEXEC.NCF normally, which does not bypass the problematic file.
- B. SERVER -S is not a recognized NetWare server startup switch and will not suppress AUTOEXEC.NCF processing.
- D. SERVER -NS skips the STARTUP.NCF file, not AUTOEXEC.NCF, so the problem commands would still execute.
- E. SERVER -NOAUTO is not a valid NetWare server command-line switch and would not be recognized by the loader.
Concept tested. NetWare SERVER startup switches skipping AUTOEXEC.NCF
