You are the desktop administrator for your company. The company’s network consists of a single Active Directory domain. All client computers run Windows XP Professional. Bruno is a user in the graphics department. Bruno creates a new shared folder named GFXTemplates on his computer. The GFXTemplates folder contains custom templates that are used by various applications.
The permissions on the GFXTemplates folder must meet the following requirements:
* Users must be able to access the GFXTemplates folder and all files it contains.
* Users must be able to add newly created template files to the GFXTemplates folder.
* Users must not be able to delete any files in the GFXTemplates folder. Bruno configures permissions on the GFXTemplates folder as shown in the following table.
The users in the graphics department report that they cannot add files to the GFXTemplates folder.
What should you do to resolve this problem?
A.
Modify the NTFS permissions on the GFXTemplates folder to grant the Everyone group Allow – Modify permission.
B.
Modify the NTFS permissions on the GFXTemplates folder to grant the Users group Allow – Read and Allow – Write permissions.
C.
Modify the shared folder permissions on the GFXTemplates folder to grant the Everyone group Allow – Change permission.
D.
Modify the shared folder permissions on the GFXTemplates folder to grant the Users group Allow – Read and Allow – Write permissions.
Explanation:
To calculate the effective permissions, you combine the total NTFS permissions and the total share permissions, then take the most restrictive of the two. So in this question, the total NTFS permission is Allow-Read and the total share permission is Allow-Change. Therefore, the effective permissions are Allow-Read. The users need write permission to be able to write files to the folder. The share permission ‘Change’ includes write permission, so we need to add Write
permission to the NTFS permissions for the users group.Incorrect Answers:
A: The share permission for the everyone group is read, so the effective permissions would be Allow-Read. Write permission is required.
C: The NTFS permission for the everyone group is read, so the effective permissions would be Allow-Read. Write permission is required.
D: The Users group has no NTFS permission. We need to add Allow-Read and Allow-Write to the NTFS permission for the Users group.
