Question

CompTIA A+ 14D.RV

1. What are the prerequisites for joining a computer to a domain?

2. You receive a call from a user trying to save a file and receiving an "Access Denied" error. Assuming a normal configuration with no underlying file corruption, encryption, or malware issue, what is the cause and what do you suggest?

3. What is the significance of a $ symbol at the end of a share name?

4. When you set NTFS permissions on a folder, what happens to the files and subfolders by default?

5. If a user obtains Read permissions from a share and Deny Write from NTFS permissions, can the user view files in the folder over the network?

6. A user is assigned Read NTFS permissions to a resource via his user account and Full Control via membership of a group. What effective NTFS permissions does the user have for the resource?

Answer 1

A computer must meet certain requirements to join a domain, and 'Access Denied' errors typically indicate insufficient permissions. A $ indicates a hidden share, and NTFS permissions inherited by default can be overridden by more permissive group memberships.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prerequisites for joining a computer to a domain include having a network connection, a computer account on the domain, and appropriate credentials with permissions to join the domain.

Receiving an "Access Denied" error when a user tries to save a file typically implies that the user does not have the necessary permission to write to the directory or file. The suggestion would be to check the user's permissions for that file or folder and modify them if necessary to allow write access.

The significance of a $ symbol at the end of a share name indicates that the share is hidden and will not be visible when browsing the network. It can only be accessed by directly typing the share's name.

When you set NTFS permissions on a folder, by default, the permissions are inherited by all files and subfolders contained within it.

If a user obtains Read permissions from a share and Deny Write from NTFS permissions, the user can still view the files in the folder over the network but cannot modify them.

When a user has conflicting NTFS permissions, such as Read from user account and Full Control from a group membership, the most permissive rights apply, hence the user will have Full Control.
