Answer 4

DFS Topology

Question 5

Answer 5

Directory Service Client (DSCiient)

Question 6

An access control list that manages access to an object, such as a folder, and that is configured by a server administrator or owner of the object.

Answer 7

Disk Quota

Question 8

A system that enables folders shared from multiple computers to appear as though they exist in one centralized hierarchy of folders instead of on many different computers.

Answer 8

Distributed File System {DFS)

Question 9

A DFS model that uses Active Directory and is available only to servers and workstations that are members of a particular domain. The domain-based model enables a deep, root-based, hierarchical arrangement of shared folders that is published in Active Directory. DFS shared folders in the domain based model can be replicated for fault tolerance and load balancing.

Answer 9

Domain-Based DFS Model

Question 10

Answer 10

Dynamic-Link Library (DLL) Files

Question 11

Set by an attribute of NTFS, this file system enables a user to encrypt the contents of a folder or a file so that it can only be accessed via private key code by the user who encrypted it. EFS adheres to the Data Encryption Standard’s expanded version for data protection.

Answer 11

Answer 13

Inherited Permissions

Question 14

On a single server, distributing reso urces across multiple server disk drives and paths for better server response; and on multiple network servers, distributing resources across two or more servers for better server and network performance.

Answer 14
