Windows Shares Flashcards
Windows networks are generally broken down into 2 different types
1) Domain-based environments
2) Workgroup-based environments
What type of management model does a Domain-based environment use? And Workgroup-based environment use?
Domain-based - Centralized architecture
Workgroup-based - Decentralized model
Represent the 2 different methods for organizing workstations inside of a Windows-based computer network
Workgroups & Domains
What are the 2 main types of permissions?
1) Shared permissions
2) NTFS permissions
Permissions that affect anybody who is accessing a shared folder over a network connection
Shared permissions
Permissions that only affect users who are directly accessing a folder from a local file system
NTFS permissions
A way for you to create a really quick shortcut to access things across the network and be able to store things on a centralized file server
Mapped drive
Command that displays a list of all the user accounts for the system that you’re currently on
net user command
Command to be able to create a mapping between a drive and a network folder or remove mappings of a drive(s).
net use command
You are working as a technician for a small company and recently moved some files from one server to another to free up some storage capacity on the existing server. Now, multiple users have begun reporting that they cannot access some of their previous shares on the file server. If a user attempts to open one of the shares, they get an “Access Denied” error. You have verified that all users are located in the correct security groups, and their access permissions are correct. Still, the users cannot access the network shares. Which of the following is MOST likely causing the issue with the users accessing the network shares?
a) The network shares require administrative permissions
b) Users are trying to access the shares via their previously mapped drive letters
c) The users are trying to access the shares during Group Policy restricted hours
d) The proxy settings on the users’ computers are disabled
b) Users are trying to access the shares via their previously mapped drive letters
Since the data is moved from one network share to another, the users will need to remap their network drive letters to the new file paths. Using the existing drive mapping, they will still be pointing to the old server that no longer has the files and is presenting an “Access Denied” error message. Network shares do not require administrative permissions by default.
You are configuring a new printer for a small real estate office. There are only 4 computers in the network, and they are all connected to a single 4-port switch/router/cable modem device. There are no additional open ports on the device and no servers configured within the network. All the computers operate as part of a single workgroup with no domain controller. You need to configure the printer to allow all 4 computers to print to it as long as they are connected to the switch. Which of the following methods would BEST allow the users to print to the printer based on this network’s configuration?
a) Configure a print server and connect the printer to it
b) Configure the printer to support cloud printing
c) Configure the printer to support Bluetooth printing
d) Configure it as a shared printer connected to one of the four workstations
d) Configure it as a shared printer connected to one of the four workstations
Due to the small size of the network and the lack of additional open switch ports, it would BEST to connect the printer to one of the workstations and configure it as a shared printer. This will allow any of the other workstations to print to the shared printer via the connected workstation. This allows the workstation to act as a print server, which means that the computer must always be left on or the rest of the users would be unable to print.
Which version of Windows 10 does NOT support joining a domain or using Group Policy management?
a) Home
b) Pro
c) Education
d) Enterprise
a) Home
