You and Stephen are the desktop administrators for your company. You install a printer on your Windows XP Professional computer. You share this printer on the company network. You want to ensure that only members of the DTAdmins local group can use this printer, and that only you and Stephen can manage the printer and all print jobs. You also want to ensure that members of the DTAdmins local group can manage only their own print jobs. How should you configure security on this printer?
A.
Grant Allow – Print permission to the DTAdmins group. Grant Allow – Manage Documents permission to your user account and to Stephen�s user account.
B.
Grant Allow – Print permission to the DTAdmins group. Grant Allow – Manage Documents and Allow – Manage Printers permissions to your user account and to Stephen�s user account.
C.
Grant Allow – Manage Documents permission to the DTAdmins group. Grant Allow – Manage Printers permission to your user account and to Stephen�s user account.
D.
Grant Allow – Print permission to the DTAdmins group. Remove Allow – Manage Documents permission from the Creator Owner group. Grant Allow – Manage Printers permission to your user account and to Stephen�s user account.
Explanation:
By default, anyone with Allow-Print permission can manage their own print jobs. This is because anyone who sends a print job is placed in the Creator Owner group. The creator owner of a document can manage it. To manage other people’s documents we need Allow Manage Documents permission. To manage the
printer we need Allow Manage Printer permissions
Incorrect Answers:
A: This does not give you the permission to manage the printer.
C: This will allow members of the DTAdmins group to manage any document.
D: This will prevent members of the DTAdmins group from managing their own documents.
