You are a help desk technician for your company. All employees use Windows XP Professional computers.A salesperson named Philippe receives a removable disk drive cartridge from his supervisor. Philippe now reports that he cannot edit files on the cartridge. When he tries to open any files or folders on the cartridge, he receives an �access denied� error message. Philippe�s supervisor is currently out of the office. You place the cartridge in the removable drive on your computer. You receive the same �access denied� error message when you try to access the files and folders. You call Philippe�s supervisor. She asks you to grant permission to access the contents of the cartridge only to Philippe. However, she also wants to prevent Philippe from changing permissions on the contents of the cartridge. Which two actions should you take? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A.
As Administrator, take ownership of the files and folders.
B.
As Administrator, grant your help desk user account Allow – Full Control permission on the files and folders.
C.
Grant Philippe Allow – Modify permission on the files and folders.
D.
Grant Philippe Allow – Full Control permission on the files and folders.
E.
Grant Philippe Allow – Take Ownership permission on the files and folders.
Explanation:
A. We need to take control of the files and folders. This will enable us to bypass the permissions on the files so that we can change the permissions.
C. The modify permission will allow Phillipe to edit the files but will not allow him to change the permissions on the files.
Incorrect Answers:
B: We do not require full control permission on the files. We can take ownership of the files then give Phillipe permissions on the files.
D: This will give Phillipe the required permission to change the permissions on the files.
E: This will give Phillipe the required permission to change the permissions on the files.
