Edit the Share permissions.

C.
Edit the NTFS permissions.

D.
Disable access-based enumeration.

Explanation:
Share permissions and NTFS permissions are independent in the sense that neither changes the
other. The final access permissions on a shared folder are determined by taking into consideration
both the share permission and the NTFS permission entries. The more restrictive permissions are
then applied.

It’s not clear what means “cannot make changes to the files in Share1”. What kind of changes?

According to this link: http://www.ntfs.com/ntfs-permissions-file-folder.htm

Basic Read & Execute + Basic Write (which setted up for Group2) means users can do everything except – Delete Subfolders and Files, Delete, Change Permissions, Take Ownership. All other permissions are allowed. So basically Group2 get all “change” permissions from NTFS.

Also it’s not clear with what type of Share Permissions Share1 has been shared. So it’s most likely that Share1 has been created with Read share permission (which is default) which blocks Group2 from changing files.

So correct answer should be B – Edit the Share permissions.

Write means users can create the file, not edit. For editing you need of modifiy permissions
