Chapter 5: Configuring, Managing, and Troubleshooting Resource Access Flashcards
A characteristic associated with a folder or file used to help manage access.
Attribute
In Windows Server 2008, a security capability that tracks activity on an object, such as reading, writing, creating, or deleting a file in a folder.
Auditing
A program that reads lines of program code in a source file and converts the code into machine-language instructions the computer can execute.
Compiler
Applies to a domain-based DFS model and encompasses the DFS namespace root, shared folders, and replication folders .
DFS Topology
Microsoft software for pre-Windows 2000 clients that connect to Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008 and enables those clients to view information published in Active Directory.
Directory Service Client (DSCiient)
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.
Discretionary Access Control List (DACL)
Allocating a specific amount of disk space t o a user or application with the ability to ensure that the user or application cannot use more disk space than is specified in the allocation.
Disk Quota
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.
Distributed File System {DFS)
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.
Domain-Based DFS Model
A library of files containing program code that can be called and run by Windows applications (and with SUA, also used by UNIX/Linux applications). See Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications.
Dynamic-Link Library (DLL) Files
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.
Encrypting File System (EFS)
A path in the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) format, such as to a DFS shared folder or to a different DFS path.
Folder Target
Permissions of a parent object that also apply to child objects of the parent, such as to subfolders within a fo lder.
Inherited Permissions
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.
Load Balancing
The main container that holds DFS links to shared folders in a domain.
Namespace Root
Having the privilege to change permissions and to fully manipulate an object. The account that creates an object, such as a folder or printer, initially has ownership.
Ownership
In Windows Server 2008, privileges to access and manipulate resource objects, such as folders and printers; for example, the privilege to read a file or to create a new file.
Permissions
In Windows Server 2008, privileges to access and manipulate resource objects, such as folders and printers; for example, the privilege to read a file or to create a new file.
Publish
A grouping of shared folders in a DFS namespace root that are replicated or copied to all servers that participate in DFS replication. When changes are made to DFS shared folders, all of the participating servers are automatically or manually synchronized so that they have the same copy.
Replication Group
A service that Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA) can add to Active Directory to make a Windows Server 2008 server a Network Information Services server for coordinating management of user accounts and groups between UNIX/Linux computers and Windows Server 2008 servers on the same network. See Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications.
Server for Network Information Services
Permissions that apply to a particular object that is shared over a network, such as a shared folder or printer.
Share Permissions
An interface between the user and the operating system.
Shell
A DFS model in which no Active Directory implementation is available to help manage the shared folders . This model provides only a single or flat level share.
Stand-Alone DFS Model
A subsystem that can be installed in Windows Server 2008 for using UNIX and Linux commands, applications, and scripts.
Subsystem for UNIX-Based Applications (SUA)
An access control list that contains settings to audit the access to an object, such as a folder.
System Control ACL (SACL)
A naming convention that designates network servers, computers, and shared resources. The format for a UNC name is, for example, \servername\ namespace\folder\file.
Universal Naming Convention (UNC)
