You work as a desktop support technician at Domain.com. The Domain.com network consists of a single Active Directory domain named Domain.com. All servers on the Domain.com network run Windows 2000 Server and all client computers run Windows XP Professional.
A file server named Certkiller -SR11 contains a folder named Marketing. Users that work in the Marketing department access files stored within this folder. All files stored in the Marketing folder contain confidential information.
A user named Clive Wilson works in the Marketing department. Clive Wilson uses a client computer named Certkiller -WS270. You have been instructed to copy the Marketing folder and its associated contents to Certkiller -WS270, while also ensuring that the files are secured. The Marketing folder currently contains 180 MB of data.
Certkiller -WS270 contains two partitions named C and D respectively. Partition C and partition D are configured as follows:
1. Partition C is a FAT32 formatted partition with 1 GB of free disk space.
2. Partition D is a NTFS formatted partition with 250 MB of free disk space.
You must copy the Marketing folder to Certkiller -WS270.

Explanation:
The NTFS file system includes features such as encryption (EFS), disk quotas, file compression, mounted drives, NTFS change journal, and support for multiple data streams. Encrypting File System (EFS) can only encrypt files when the NTFS file system is being used. The FAT file system includes no support for encryption (EFS).
The initial NTFS version that includes support for file encryption, disk quotas, sparse files, remote storage and Active Directory structures is NTFS 5.0.
Incorrect answers:
A, B: Encrypting File System (EFS) can only encrypt files when the NTFS file system is being used. The FAT32 file system includes no local security for the file system or compression features. When you copy an encrypted file to the FAT32 file system, that file becomes decrypted.
C: You cannot convert the Marketing folder to NTFS. You have to convert the actual partition to an NTFS formatted partition.
