Assignment 10 - File and Share Access and Print Services Flashcards
- What is the difference between NTFS permissions and Share Permissions?
NTFS permissions apply to files and folders on NTFS partitions through the network or locally.
NTFS permissions have more options.
Share permissions apply to share folders over the network only.
- Identify and describe the 6 common NTFS permissions that can be configured.
Read – view folder details and attributes
Write – Change folder or file data and attributes
List folder contents – Includes all Read actions and adds the ability to view a folder’s contents
Read & Execute – Includes all Read actions and adds the ability to run programs
Modify – Includes all Read and Execute and Write actions and adds the ability to add or delete files
Full Control – Includes all other actions and adds the ability to take ownership of and change permissions on the folder.
- What is the difference between an explicit permission and an inherited permission?
An explicit permission is one that has been assigned by the administrator on a specific object. An inherited permission is set on a parent object such as a folder and applies to all objects in the folder.
- Which permission Allow or Deny takes precedence if both are applied?
Deny overrides Allow.
- What is the result of moving a file or folder that has NTFS permissions assigned to a non-NTFS partition?
All permissions are removed.
- What are some of the NTFS Special Permissions that can be assigned?
Some Special Permissions include Traverse Folder / Execute file, List Folder / Read Data, Read Attributes, Read Extended Attributes, Create Files / Write Data, Create Folders /Append Data, Write Attributes, Write Extended Attributes, Delete Subfolders and Files, Delete, Read Permissions, Change Permissions, Take Ownership.
- What are some best practices when applying permissions?
Assign permissions as high up in the folder structure as possible.
Assign permissions to groups rather than individual users.
Use Domain groups to set permissions.
- What are NTFS quotas?
NTFS quotas set limits on how much information a user can store on a partition.
- Describe the difference between a Soft Quota and a Hard Quota?
A Soft Quota allows the user to exceed a quota limit and the administrator is notified about it.
A Hard Quota prevents the user from exceeding a quota limit and the administrator is notified about it.
- Which Windows Server feature is used to better manage disk quotas?
The File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) is an available feature to manage disk quotas.
- What is ABE?
ABE is Access-Based Enumeration which restricts users from seeing files and folders to which they do not have access to when browsing content on a file server.
- What is Volume Shadow Copy and how does it work?
VSC is a feature that makes copies of user files at regular intervals and is useful for recovering deleted files or folders, recovering previous versions of modified files, and compare files with previous versions.
- What is meant by ‘effective permissions’ with respect to files and folders?
Effective permissions refers to the overall access a user has to a file or folder. This is the cumulative effect of all permissions that have been applied.
- What is a common strategy for assigning permissions to files and folders?
Assign Share permissions to Everyone, restrict using NTFS permissions.
Assign shares to groups rather than individual users.
Add only necessary groups and assign only necessary permissions.
Do not create nested shares.
- What are the differences between simple file sharing and advanced file sharing?
Simple File Sharing uses the name of the folder as the share name. Folder names should be short, contain no spaces, and uses the universal naming convention (UNC) to identify the location of the share.
Advanced File Sharing allows for a custom name for the share, allows multiple share names with different permissions to be assigned, and allows the use of offline files with Caching.
