1
Install-WindowsFeature -ConfigurationFilePath
what is delegation
1
its the practice by which administrators grant other users a subset of the privileges that they possess.
designing a storage solution for a server depends on several factors including
1
amount of storage the server needs
the number of users who will be accessing the serer at the same time
sensitivity of the data to be stored on the server
the importance of the data to the organization
