Your network contains a Windows Server 2008 R2 server that functions as a file server. All users have laptop computers that run Windows 7.
The network is not connected to the Internet.
Users save files to a shared folder on the server.
You need to design a data provisioning solution that meets the following requirements:
– Users who are not connected to the corporate network must be able to access the files and the folders in the corporate network.
– Unauthorized users must not have access to the cached files and folders.
What should you do?
A.
Implement a certification authority (CA). Configure IPsec domain isolation.
B.
Implement a certification authority (CA). Configure Encrypting File System (EFS) for the drive that hosts the files.
C.
Implement Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010. Enable Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption.
D.
Configure caching on the shared folder. Configure offline files to use encryption.

MCITP Self-Paced Training Kit Exam 70-646 Windows Server Administration:Lesson 2: Provisioning Data
Lesson 1 in this chapter introduced the Share And Storage Management tool, which gives you access to the Provision Storage Wizard and the Provision A Shared Folder Wizard. These tools allow you to configure storage on the volumes accessed by your server and to set up shares. When you add the Distributed File System (DFS) role service to the File Services server role you can create a DFS Namespace and go on to configure DFSR. Provisioning data ensures that user files are available and remain available even if a server fails or a WAN link goes down. Provisioning data also ensures that users canwork on important files when they are not connected to the corporate network.
In a well-designed data provisioning scheme, users should not need to know the network path to their files, or from which server they are downloading them. Even large files should typically download quicklyfiles should not be downloaded or saved across a WAN link when they are available from a local server. You need to configure indexing so that users can find information quickly and easily. Offline files need to be synchronized quickly and efficiently, and whenever possible without user intervention. A user should always be working with the most up-to-date information (except when a shadow copy is specified) and fast and efficient replication should ensure that where several copies of a file exist on a network they contain the same information and latency is minimized.
You have several tools that you use to configure shares and offline files, configure storage, audit file access, prevent inappropriate access, prevent users from using excessive disk resource, and implement disaster recovery. However, the main tool for provisioning storage and implementing a shared folder structure is DFS Management, specifically DFS Namespaces. The main tool for implementing shared folder replication in a Windows Server 2008 network is DFS Replication.
