You work as a desktop support technician at Domain.com. The Domain.com network consists of a single Active Directory domain named Domain.com. The Domain.com network contains 10 severs that run Windows 2000 Server and 1,000 client computers that run Windows XP Professional. Half the client computers are portable computers and the rest are desktop computers.
A network user named Mia Hamm has been issued with a portable client computer named Certkiller -WS270. Mia Hamm uses Certkiller -WS270 whenever she needs to visit Domain.com customers. Certkiller -WS270 has a single hard disk drive with a single NTFS volume that contains the operating system, various applications and Mia Hamm’s used files. When she is at a customer’s site, Mia Hamm save files to a folder named C:Customers. Mia Hamm notices that Certkiller -WS270 is low on free disk space and brings this to your attention. You need to increase the disk space on Certkiller -WS270. None of the files on Certkiller -WS270 can be deleted. You install an additional hard disk drive on Certkiller -WS270. You then instruct Mia Hamm to create a new empty folder named C:MoreCustomers and mount the new hard disk drive to the C:MoreCustomers folder. A short while later Mia Hamm informs you that she is unable to mount the new hard disk drive to the C:MoreCustomers folder. You need to ensure that Mia Hamm can mount the new hard disk to the C:MoreCustomers folder.
