C03.Configuring Storage and Security

Question 1

1. Will has installed Windows 10 on his Windows XP computer. The machine is now a dualboot computer. He has FAT32 for Windows XP and NTFS for Windows 10. In addition, he boots his computer to Windows XP Professional for testing an application’s compatibility
   with both operating systems. Which of the following file systems will be seen by both operating systems?

A. Only the FAT32 partition will be seen by both operating systems.
B. Only the NTFS partition will be seen by both operating systems.
C. Neither the FAT32 partition nor the NTFS partition will be seen by both operating systems.
D. Both the FAT32 partition and the NTFS partition will be seen by both operating systems.

Answer 1

D. Both the FAT32 partition and the NTFS partition will be seen by both operating systems.

1. D. Both Windows 10 and Windows XP Professional support FAT32 and NTFS, so both file systems will be viewable on both operating systems.

Question 2

2. You are the network administrator for a large company that has decided to use EFS. You have two Windows 10 machines, named machine1 and machine2. Both of these Windows 10 machines are part of a Windows Server 2012 R2 domain. From machine1, you can recover all EFS encrypted files for all users in the entire domain. You need to be able to do the same from machine2. How do you accomplish this task?

A. From machine1, export the DRA certificate and import that certificate onto machine2.
B. On a domain controller, add machine1 as the master EFS machine.
C. From machine1, export the DRA certificate and import that certificate onto the EFS server.
D. On a domain controller, add machine2 as the EFS recovery agent machine.

Answer 2

A. From machine1, export the DRA certificate and import that certificate onto machine2.

2. A. In Windows 10, it is possible to share encrypted files with another person or between computers. To share encrypted files, you must have a valid EFS certificate for the user who should have access to the files.

Question 3

3. Alexandria is the payroll manager and stores critical files on her local drive for added security on her Windows 10 computer. She wants to ensure that she is using the disk configuration with the most fault tolerance and the highest level of consistent availability. Which of the following provisions should she use?

A. Disk striping
B. Spanned volumes
C. Mirrored volumes
D. Extended volumes

Answer 3

C. Mirrored volumes

3. C. Windows 10 supports mirrored volumes, which allow you to have fault tolerance in the event of a single hard-disk failure.

Question 4

4. Paige is considering upgrading her basic disk to a dynamic disk on her Windows 10 computer. She asks you to help her understand the function of dynamic disks. Which of the following statements are true of dynamic disks in Windows 10?

A. Dynamic disks can be recognized by older operating systems such as Windows NT 4 in addition to new operating systems such as Windows 10.
B. Dynamic disks are supported only by Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003.
C. Dynamic disks support features such as simple partitions, extended partitions, spanned partitions, and striped partitions.
D. Dynamic disks support features such as simple volumes, extended volumes, spanned volumes, mirrored volumes, and striped volumes.

Answer 4

D. Dynamic disks support features such as simple volumes, extended volumes, spanned volumes, mirrored volumes, and striped volumes.

4. D. Dynamic disks are supported by all Windows operating systems above Windows Server 2000. Windows 10 supports mirrored volumes.

Question 5

5. Cindy is using Windows 10 on her laptop computer, and the C: partition is running out of space. You want to identify any areas of free space that can be reclaimed from temporary files. What utility should you use?

A. Disk Cleanup
B. Disk Manager
C. Disk Administrator
D. Disk Defragmenter

Answer 5

A. Disk Cleanup

5. A. The Disk Cleanup utility is used to identify areas of space that may be reclaimed through the deletion of temporary files or Recycle Bin files.

Question 6

6. Rob is using Windows 10 to store video files. He doesn’t access the files very often and wants to compress the files to utilize disk space more effectively. Which of the following options allows you to compress files in Windows 10?

A. JetPack.exe
B. Cipher.exe
C. Packer.exe
D. Windows Explorer

Answer 6

D. Windows Explorer

6. D. In Windows 10, one way you can compress files is through Windows Explorer. Windows 10 has no programs called Packer, and JetPack is for compressing JET databases. The Cipher program is used to encrypt or decrypt files. The command-line option for managing file and folder compression is Compact.

Question 7

7. Crystal wants the highest level of security possible for her data. She stores the data on an NTFS partition and has applied NTFS permissions. Now she wants to encrypt the files through EFS (Encrypting File System). Which command-line utility can she use to manage data encryption?

A. Encrypt
B. Cipher
C. Crypto
D. EDS

Answer 7

B. Cipher

7. B. The Cipher utility is used to encrypt or decrypt files. Windows 10 doesn’t have a program called Encrypt, Crypto, or EDS. If you want to manage file encryption through a GUI utility, you can use Windows Explorer.

Question 8

8. You have compressed a 4 MB file into 2 MB. You are copying the file to another computer that has a FAT32 partition. How can you ensure that the file will remain compressed?

A. When you copy the file, use the XCOPY command with the /Comp switch.
B. When you copy the file, use the Windows Explorer utility and specify the option Keep Existing Attributes.
C. On the destination folder, make sure that you set the option Compress Contents To Save Disk Space in the folder’s properties.
D. You can’t maintain disk compression on a non-NTFS partition.

Answer 8

D. You can’t maintain disk compression on a non-NTFS partition

8. D. Windows 10 data compression is supported only on NTFS partitions. If you move the file to a FAT32 partition, then it will be stored as uncompressed.

Question 9

9. Julie wants to allow her assistant, Tylor, access to several files that she has encrypted with EFS. How can she allow Tylor to access the files on her computer?

A. Julie should export and email her encryption key to Tylor.
B. Julie should configure NTFS permissions to provide Tylor with full access to the files.
C. Julie should import Tylor’s encryption key and add Tylor’s certificate to each file to which Tylor should have access.
D. Julie should configure share permissions to provide Tylor with full access to the files over the network.

Answer 9

C. Julie should import Tylor’s encryption key and add Tylor’s certificate to each file to which Tylor should have access.

9. C. To allow Tylor to access her encrypted files, Julie should import Tylor’s encryption key and then add that key to each file to which Tylor should have access. Adding share permissions or NTFS permissions will not allow another user to access an encrypted file unless that user’s encryption key has been added to the file. Exporting and emailing Julie’s key to Tylor will not allow Tylor to access the file.

Question 10

10. Will is the manager of Human Resources in your company. He is concerned that members of the Administrators group, who have implied access to all NTFS resources, will be able to easily view the contents of the sensitive personnel files. How can you apply the highest level of security to the payroll files?

A. Apply NTFS permissions to the files.
B. Encrypt the files with EFS.
C. Secure the files with the Secure.exe command.
D. Encrypt the files with HSP.

Answer 10

B. Encrypt the files with EFS.

10. B. You can increase the level of security on folders and files on an NTFS partition by using EFS. Only a user who is configured as a DRA with the correct private key or who has explicitly been provided permission can access this data.
