You have a server named Server2 that runs Windows Server 2012.
You open Server Manager on Server2 as shown in the exhibit. (Refer to the Exhibit.)
The Everyone group has read share permission and read NTFS permission to Sources.
You need to ensure that when users browse the network, the Sources share is not visible.
What should you do?
A.
From the properties of the Sources folder, removethe Sources share, and then share the Sources folder as
Sources$.
B.
From the properties of the Sources folder, deny the List Folder Contents permission for the Everyonegroup.
C.
From the properties of the Sources share, configure access-based enumeration.
D.
From the properties of the Sources folder, configure the hidden attribute.
Explanation:
A: need to remove the old share, $ creates a hiddenshare B: This would deny everyine
C: This feature allows users of Windows Server 2003based file servers to list only the files and folders towhich
they have access when browsing content on the file server D: This would hide the physical folder not the share
A hidden share is identified by a dollar sign ($) at the end of the share name Hidden shares are not listed when
you look through the shares on a computer or use the “net view” command
Why Use Hidden Shares?
Using hidden shares on your network is useful if you do not want a shared folder or drive on the network to
beeasily accessible. Hidden shares can add another layer of protection for shared files against
unauthorizedpeople connecting to your network. Using hidden shares helps eliminate the chance for people to
guess yourpassword (or be logged into an authorizedWindows account) and then receive access to the shared
resource.

For C to be correct, you would have to change the permissions of the Everybody group.
So basically doing B to make C work.
$ makes the share hidden, you can still get to it, but you have to type the $ at the end of the path, it just wont show up otherwise.
It is not C because Everyone has read permissions so access-based enumeration won’t hide it from users. It will hide only for users that do not have permissions to access the share.
So the administrative share ($) is the option that will hide it from all users browsing the network.
The question is that we need to hide share for ALL – not only for users have set RW pemissions
