Question 1

Which option found in the Advanced Sharing dialog box controls how offline files are configured?

Accepted Answer

The "Caching" option in the Advanced Sharing dialog box allows you to configure how offline files are cached and synchronized. This includes determining how much space is allocated for offline files and specifying how often synchronization occurs.

Question 2

Global groups are used to hold user accounts while domain local groups are used to hold Global groups and provide access to resources.

Accepted Answer

This statement accurately explains the purpose and hierarchy of global and domain local groups in an Active Directory environment.

Question 3

Which type of Mac OS X account cannot log on to the local Mac computer, but can access shared files and printers to which the account has been given permission from another computer?

Accepted Answer

A "Sharing Only" account is specifically designed to allow remote access to shared files and printers on a Mac, without allowing the user to log on to the local computer. This type of account is ideal for people who need to access shared resources on a Mac from a remote location, such as from another computer on the same network or from the internet.

Question 4

You want to view a list of users on a Linux system. What command should you use?

Accepted Answer

The /etc/passwd file contains user account information, including login name, encrypted password, numerical user ID, and group ID. The cat command is used to output the contents of a file to the terminal. Therefore, the correct command to view a list of users on a Linux system is cat /etc/passwd.

Question 5

NFS is that native Linux/UNIX file sharing protocol and is supported by Windows and Mac OS X.

Accepted Answer

NFS (Network File System) is a native Linux/UNIX file sharing protocol that allows a system to share directories and files with others over a network. While it is native to Linux/UNIX environments, NFS support has been implemented in Windows through Services for UNIX (SFU) and in Mac OS X, enabling these systems to access NFS shares.

Question 6

You are explaining to a colleague how to make a shared resource available on a Linux file system. Which of the following terms best describes what you should tell him?

Accepted Answer

To make a shared resource available on a Linux file system, you need to use the command "mount" to mount the share onto a directory within the file system. This will allow users to access the shared resource as if it were a local directory within the file system. The terms "map a drive letter" and "map a volume" are commonly used in Windows environments, but are not applicable in this context.

Question 7

You have a multi-domain Windows Server 2016 forest. You need to make a shared folder available to users from several domains. What type of group should you create to add the users to and assign permissions to the resource?

Accepted Answer

A universal group can contain users and groups from any domain in the forest, allowing for the sharing of resources across multiple domains. Global groups are limited to containing users and groups from a single domain, while domain local groups are used for assigning permissions within a single domain. Local groups are only used for granting permissions on a specific computer.

Question 8

Which component of printer sharing in Windows is a storage location for pending print jobs?

Accepted Answer

The print queue is the storage location for pending print jobs in printer sharing in Windows. It holds the print jobs until they are ready to be printed by the printer.

Question 9

You have shared a folder on a Windows server that is a part of a domain. You need to assign permissions to users so they can access the shared folder. Which type of group will you use to make the permissions assignment?

Accepted Answer

To assign permissions to users so they can access the shared folder that is a part of a domain, we will use domain local groups. Domain local groups can be used to assign permissions to resources located in the same domain as the domain local group. The permissions applied to the group will be applied to all members of that group. Global and universal groups can also be used for permissions assignment but are not the best choice in this scenario. Global groups can be used to organize users and domain local groups, while universal groups can be used to grant permissions to resources in different domains. However, these groups should be nested within domain local groups for ease of management and security. Local groups are used to assign permissions on a local computer, not on the domain controller.

Question 10

You want to configure a printer with two print devices so that the print server sends print jobs to the print device that is least busy. What should you configure?

Accepted Answer

Printer pooling allows multiple printers to be grouped together into a single logical printer. The print server automatically sends print jobs to the least busy printer in the pool, which provides load-balancing across the multiple devices. Printer priority, job management, and availability control do not provide this type of load-balancing functionality.

Question 11

Which of the following is NOT a Windows share permission?

Accepted Answer

Write is not a standalone share permission in Windows. The standard share permissions are Read, Change, and Full Control. Write operations are included under the broader permissions of Change or Full Control.

Question 12

In Linux, a network drive that is attached to the file system is referenced with a drive letter.

Accepted Answer

In Linux, network drives are mounted onto the file system, and are referenced with a directory path rather than a drive letter.

Question 13

Which file sharing client component intercepts requests for resources and examines it to determine whether the resource is local or remote?

Accepted Answer

The redirector component intercepts requests for resources and examines it to determine whether the resource is local or remote. The drive mapper is responsible for mapping a network drive to a letter, the UNC path is a way to reference resources on a network, and the authenticator component is responsible for authenticating users attempting to access network resources.

Question 14

You have shared a folder on Windows 10, how many users can access the shared folder simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

In Windows 10, the maximum number of users who can simultaneously access a shared folder over the network is 20. This limit is set to prevent performance degradation in non-server versions of Windows.

Question 15

You want to automate the process of mapping drive letters to shares when users log on to a Windows domain. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Creating a batch file to map drive letters to shares is the most efficient way to automate the process. Batch files can be executed automatically when users log on to a Windows domain, and can include commands to map network drives using the "net use" command.

Question 16

Windows computers can make a shared drive look like a local drive by mapping.

Accepted Answer

Mapping allows a shared drive on another computer to appear as a local drive on the computer being used, making it easier to access and use files stored on the shared drive.

Question 17

You need to create a user on your Red Hat Enterprise Linux system. What command should you use?

Accepted Answer

The useradd command is used to create a new user on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system. A is not a valid command, B is not a valid command, and D is not a valid command for creating a new user.

Question 18

What is the correct syntax to map drive letter X: to a share named myshare on a server named server1?

Accepted Answer

The correct syntax for mapping a drive is "net use [drive letter]: \[server]\[share name]". Therefore, the correct syntax to map drive letter X: to share named myshare on a server named server1 is "net use X: \server1\myshare".

Question 19

In Mac OS X, Sharing Only accounts can log on to the local Mac computer and access shared files and printers on other computers.

Accepted Answer

Sharing Only accounts in Mac OS X are designed for accessing shared files and printers on the local Mac from other computers; they cannot log on to the local Mac computer itself.

Question 20

What do you use to access shared folders and printers on a Windows computer?

Accepted Answer

UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path is the most commonly used method to access shared folders and printers on a Windows computer. It allows the user to specify the location of the shared resource using the hostname and share name, like \hostname\sharename. This can be entered directly into the Windows Explorer address bar, the Run command, or used in a batch file if needed. The other options listed, such as URL location and mounted drive, may not be applicable or as efficient in accessing shared resources on a Windows computer.
