What share permissions exist? <li>Read - Reader</li><li>Change - Contributor</li><li>Full Control - Owner/Co-owner</li>
How do security permissions work on a FAT32 filesystem? They don't - there is no notion of permissions on FAT32.
What are the two ways of receiving permissions for a file in NTFS? <li>Explicit permissions are set manually</li><li>Inherited permissions are set through the parent object</li>
What are the NTFS standard permissions? <li>Read</li><li>Write</li><li>Read and Execute</li><li>List Folder Contents</li><li>Modify</li><li>Full Control</li>
What is the difference between Modify and Full Control permissions in NTFS? The only difference is that Full Control allows permissions to be managed.
What are combined permissions? Combined permissions are derived from multiple security accounts or multiple security ID sources. They apply under different rules in different contexts.
For combined permissions on a share or just NTFS just individually (not both share and ntfs), what are the rules under which permissions are applied? The most liberal permission is generally applied, except when one of the security sources applies explicit denial, the denial will override the other access.
For combined permissions on both a share AND NTFS, what are the rules under which permissions are applied? The most restrictive permission set applies. You can think of a share as a permission pipe -- you can never give the user more permissions than the share provides. In the end, NTFS permissions can further restrict the permissions granted at the share, but they can never expand the permissions granted at the share.
What is the difference between a User Right and a User Permission? Permissions are granted on objects to allow the user to access those objects with different levels of capabilities.Rights are not granted on objects, but rather on actions.
How do you enable object audits? Audit Policy is a setting in Group Policy that can be enabled for notifications on either or both Success and Failure.
What are the two components of DFS? <li>DFS Namespaces - A group of shared folders that may be distributed across multiple servers. The namespace provides a logical structure to the distributed shared folders and appears as a single, shared folder to users. When users access the namespace, it appears to be a subfolder within the share. In actuality, the folder the user is accessing may be in a share on a completely different server.</li><li>DFS Replication - the component responsible for synchronizing folders among servers participating in the DFS namespace.</li>
What tool do you use to manipulate DFS namespaces? The File services management tool
What is a printer server? A server that queues print jobs and prints them to printers connected to the server.
What are the following connections support by print servers? <li>FireWire</li><li>Serial</li><li>Parallel</li><li>USB</li><li>TCP/IP</li>
What role provides the print server? Print and Document Services role.
What is the difference between a network printer and a print server? A network printer exists as a single device on the network. A print server acts as a proxy for a printer. A print server can also share multiple printers for the same print jobs/queue.
What is a printer pool? A collection of physical printers that appear as one logical printer.
What is web printing? Web printing allows users to use a web interface to connect and print to the print server.
