Chapter 6 Flashcards
What is DFS?
Distributed File System which allows users to access files residing on multiple physical servers.
What is the maximum basic volume size?
2 terabytes
What is the maximum dynamic volume size for simple and mirrored disks?
2 terabytes
What is the maximum dynamic volume size for spanned and striped disks?
64 terabytes (2 terabytes per disk, max 32 disks)
What is the maximum NTFS volume size?
2^32 clusters - 1
Maximum NTFS file size?
2^32 bytes (16 terabytes)
Maximum number of files on an NTFS volume?
2^32 - 1
Maximum number of volumes on a server?
Approximately 2,000
What is WAN?
Wide Area Networking
How do you specify hidden shares?
Appending a dollar sign to the end of the share name
What are the three share permissions?
Full Control, Change, Read
What are the abilities for the Full Control share permissions?
Change file permissions, Take ownership of files, Perform all tasks allowed by the change permission.
What are the abilities for the Change share permissions?
Create folders, Add files to folders, change data in files, append data to files, change file attributes, delete folders and files, Perform all tasks allowed by the read permission.
What are the abilities for the Read share permissions?
Display folder names, file names, file data, file attributes, execute program files, Perform all tasks allowed by the change permission.
What are the four permission systems?
Share Permissions, NTFS Permissions, Registry Permissions, Active Directory
What is the Share permission system?
Control access to folders over a network.
What is the NTFS permissions system?
Control access to the files and folders stored on disk volumes using NTFS.
What is the Registry permissions system?
Control access to specific parts of the Windows registry.
What is the Active Directory permissions system?
Control access to specific parts of an AD hierarchy.
What are the two technologies in DFS?
DFS Namespace, and DFS Replication
What is DFS Namespace?
Group shared folders located on different servers into one or more logical namespace
What is DFS Replication?
DFS Replication allows you to keep folders synchronized between servers
What are the two types of DFS Namespaces?
Stand-Alone and Domain-Based
What is a Stand-Alone DFS Namespace?
A namespace that configured locally on a computer and provides no fault tolerance
What is a Domain-Based DFS Namespace?
A namespace that is intergrated with Active Directory
The DFS Replication engine uses a form of replication called _ _.
multiple master replication
In the Distributed File System, the actual shared folders referred to by the virtual folders in the namespace are known as _ _.
targets
DFS Replication relies on a protocol called _ _ for file replication.
Remote Differential Compression (RDC)
A DFS replication topology in which every server replicates with every other server is called a(n) _ Topology.
full mesh
The basic file-sharing capabilities of a Windows server are provided by the _ _ service.
Server
To keep a DFS folder s multiple targets synchronized, you must create a(n) _ _.
replication group
The __ __ allows you to simplify the view of file shares located across multiple servers as they appear to your user base.
Distributed File Service (DFS)
A(n) __ __ appears to the operating system as though it is a physically separate disk and can host an operating system
primary partition
A(n) __ __ enables you to limit DFS replication traffic to specific pairs of members.
hub/spoke topology
A DFS __ __ enables you to create a single directory tree that contains references to shared folders located on multiple separate file servers.
namespace
An alternative to the multimaster replication model used in DFS is:
Single master replication
A server in a replication group is referred to as a:
Member
This refers to the ability of DFS clients to revert back to folder targets that have been unavailable due to server or network outages.
Client failback
A disk partition that can hold data but not an operating system is called a(n):
Extended partition
This DFS component is responsible for maintaining a list of DFS shared folders and responding to user requests for those folders.
Namespace server
A DFS __________ contains a virtual representation of the shared folders on all DFS target servers.
Namespace
The Distributed File System uses the following replication model to keep servers in a replication group up to date:
Multiple Master Replication
In this topology, every member of a DFS replication group replicates with every other member, for full replication connectivity.
Full mesh replication
The following service is required on a Windows Server 2008 server in order to enable file sharing:
Server Service
To enable replication for a DFS folder with multiple folder targets, you must create the following:
Replication group
