Question

Share and Secure Folders To allow other users access to certain content on your computer, you have decided to share two folders. To better control who has access to the data in these folders, you need to configure share and NTFS permissions. In this lab, your task is to share and configure the share and NTFS permissions for these folders as follows: Share FolderShare PermissionsD:\FinancesGive the Everyone and Accounting groups Read/Write (Full Control) permissions.D:\GraphicsGive the Everyone group Read/Write (Full Control) permissions. FolderNTFS PermissionsD:\FinancesConvert the inherited permissions into explicit permissions.If they exist, remove the Everyone and Users groups from the access control list to prevent all users from having access.Give or make sure the Accounting group has been assigned the Full Control permission.D:\GraphicsDo not modify inherited permissions. (This gives all users Read access.)Make sure that the Everyone group only has the following permissions:Read & executeList folder contentsReadAdd the Marketing group and give this group the additional Modify permission. A common strategy for combining NTFS permissions is to apply the least restrictive share permissions and then add more restrictive NTFS permissions. For example, you assign the Everyone group Full Control (Read/Write) share permissions to the shared folder and then assign more restrictive NTFS permissions to control access. When you use Share with > Specific people and choose Read/Write, Full Control permission is assigned.

Which of the following statements accurately describes the share and NTFS permissions configuration for the given scenario?

a.) D:\Finances Share Permissions: Everyone and Accounting groups have Read/Write (Full Control) permissions. NTFS Permissions: Inherited permissions converted to explicit; Everyone and Users groups removed; Accounting group has Full Control.
b.) D:\Graphics Share Permissions: Everyone group has Read/Write (Full Control) permissions. NTFS Permissions: Do not modify inherited permissions; Everyone group has Read & Execute, List folder contents, and Read permissions; Marketing group has Modify permission.
c.) D:\Finances Share Permissions: Everyone and Accounting groups have Read/Write (Full Control) permissions. NTFS Permissions: Inherited permissions retained; Everyone and Users groups removed; Accounting group has Full Control.
d.) D:\Graphics Share Permissions: Everyone group has Read/Write (Full Control) permissions. NTFS Permissions: Do not modify inherited permissions; Everyone group has Read & Execute, List folder contents, and Read permissions; Marketing group has additional Modify permission.

Answer 1

The correct configuration for D:\Finances involves granting Full Control share permissions to Everybody and Accounting groups, converting inherited NTFS permissions into explicit ones, and ensuring the Accounting group has Full Control. For D:\Graphics, Full Control share permissions are given to Everybody, inherited NTFS permissions are maintained, and the Marketing group is granted Modify permission.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proper configuration of share and NTFS permissions is crucial for securing data within a networked environment. In the given scenario, there are two folders, each with a specific set of permission requirements.

For D:\Finances, the Share Permissions should allow the Everyone and Accounting groups Full Control. For the NTFS Permissions, we must convert inherited permissions into explicit ones, remove the Everyone and Users groups, and ensure the Accounting group has Full Control.

For D:\Graphics, the Share Permissions requires granting the Everyone group Full Control. The NTFS Permissions should not alter the inherited permissions, which allows all users Read access. We must add the Marketing group and assign it the additional Modify permission.

Hence, the statement that best describes this configuration is:

• D:\Finances Share Permissions: Everyone and Accounting groups have Full Control permissions. NTFS Permissions: Inherited permissions converted to explicit; Everyone and Users groups are removed; Accounting group has Full Control.
• D:\Graphics Share Permissions: Everyone group has Full Control permissions. NTFS Permissions: Inherited permissions remain unmodified; Everyone group has Read & Execute, List folder contents, and Read permissions; Marketing group has Modify permission.
