You work as a desktop support technician at Domain.com. The Domain.com network consists of a single Active Directory domain named Domain.com.
Domain.com has its headquarters in Chicago and a branch office in Dallas. All servers on the Domain.com network run Windows 2000 Server and all client computers run Windows XP Professional.
Recently several of the network client computers crashed and Domain.com lost loads of critical data. This brought about change and a new written security policy that requires all of the client computers to back up their data to a removable disk.
You issue all users with removable disks which they will use to backup their data.
The removable disks are formatted with NTFS. However, network users soon discover they are unable to eject the removable disks unless they shutdown their client computers. You need to ensure that network users are able to eject the removable disks without having to shut down their client computers. You solution must not grant users more privileges than they require to eject the removable disks.
What should you do?
A.
Instruct all users to turn off and then restart the removable disks.
B.
Configured a Group Policy object (GPO) to allow interactive users to remove or eject removable NTFS media and link the GPO to the Domain.com domain.
C.
Add each user to the local administrators group on his or her client computer.
D.
Add all network users to the Power Users group.
Explanation:
By default, only Administrators are able to eject removable NTFS disks. To allow users to manage their own removable disks, you must assign them the Allow to eject NTFS media permission. This can be assigned via a GPO that is linked to the domain Incorrect Answers:
A: This is not a very good choice, simply by turning the devices power off and back on will not give you the required privileges to eject the removable media.
C: You could make each user the local Administrator on his or her client computer. This however will grant the users too many privileges.
D: Making the users members of the Power Users group will not enable them to eject the removable disks.
