Windows runs programs within the NT kernel since it makes sense to have the OS crash if an application crashes.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The given statement is false. Windows does not run programs within the NT kernel with the intention of having the OS crash if an application crashes. In fact, Windows uses a protected memory model where each application runs in its own isolated process, separate from the kernel. This design ensures that if an application crashes, it does not affect the stability of the entire operating system. The NT kernel provides a layer of abstraction and manages system resources, but it is not directly responsible for running applications.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The given statement is false. When installing a printer through another computer (workstation or server), it is possible for the driver to be provided automatically. This can be achieved through a process called driver sharing or driver deployment, where the driver is installed on the server or workstation and then made available to other computers on the network. This eliminates the need for each individual computer to obtain the driver separately.

If I were to share out my printer, that would mean that I would be responsible for sharing out paper for that printer as well.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement suggests that if someone shares their printer, they would also be responsible for sharing paper for that printer. However, this is not necessarily true. Sharing a printer does not automatically imply sharing paper as well. It is possible for individuals to share a printer while each person provides their own paper. Therefore, the answer is false.

- A.
  
  Read
- B.
  
  Change
- C.
  
  List Folder Contents
- D.
  
  Full Control
Correct Answer
C. List Folder Contents

Explanation
List Folder Contents is not an applicable share permission because it is a permission that applies to folders, not shares. The other three permissions (Read, Change, and Full Control) are applicable share permissions that determine the level of access a user has to the shared resources.

Rate this question:
32.

Which of the following share permissions is granted by default when initially sharing out a folder?
- A.
  
  Full Control
- B.
  
  Change
- C.
  
  List Folder Contents
- D.
  
  None of the Above
Correct Answer
D. None of the Above

Explanation
When initially sharing out a folder, none of the above share permissions are granted by default. The default share permission is usually set to "Read" access, which allows users to view the contents of the folder but not make any changes or modifications. Full Control, Change, and List Folder Contents are all higher-level permissions that need to be explicitly granted by the folder owner or administrator.

Share permissions need to be set to restrict/allow access for ________users.
- A.
  
  Local
- B.
  
  Remote
- C.
  
  None-authenticated
- D.
  
  All of the Above
Correct Answer
B. Remote

Explanation
Share permissions need to be set to restrict/allow access for remote users. This means that the permissions can be configured to allow or deny access to files or folders for users who are accessing them remotely, such as over a network or through the internet. By setting share permissions, administrators can control the level of access that remote users have to shared resources.

Specifically setting the "Deny" permission should be used as a last resort due to the fact that it can lead to troubleshooting difficulty in the future.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Setting the "Deny" permission should be used as a last resort because it can create troubleshooting difficulties in the future. When the "Deny" permission is set, it overrides any other permissions granted to a user or group, effectively blocking their access. This can make it challenging to identify and resolve issues later on, as it may not be immediately clear why a user is being denied access. It is generally recommended to use other permission settings first and only resort to "Deny" when absolutely necessary.

There is no need to distinguish between share and NTFS permissions; they mean the same thing and have the same capabilities.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
This statement is false. Share permissions and NTFS permissions are two different types of permissions in Windows operating systems. Share permissions control access to shared folders over a network, while NTFS permissions control access to files and folders on the local file system. Although they both regulate access, they have different capabilities and are applied at different levels. Share permissions are applied to the shared folder itself, while NTFS permissions are applied to individual files and folders within the shared folder. Therefore, it is important to distinguish between share and NTFS permissions.

Which of the following NTFS permissions can be applied to specifically allow users to edit existing content?
- A.
  
  Modify
- B.
  
  Read and Execute
- C.
  
  Read
- D.
  
  Write
Correct Answer
A. Modify

Explanation
The Modify NTFS permission allows users to edit existing content. This permission grants the user the ability to make changes to files and folders, including creating new files, modifying existing files, deleting files, and changing file attributes. It provides a higher level of access compared to the Read and Write permissions, as it includes both read and write capabilities. The Modify permission is useful for users who need to make changes to files or folders without having full control over them.

Rate this question:
37.

Which of the following specific NTFS permissions needs to be applied to allow users to do whatever they chose within the folder the permissions are set at and, by default, any subfilder therein?
- A.
  
  Modify
- B.
  
  Read
- C.
  
  Full Control
- D.
  
  None of the Above
Correct Answer
C. Full Control

Explanation
The specific NTFS permission that needs to be applied to allow users to do whatever they chose within the folder and its subfolders is "Full Control". This permission grants users the ability to perform all actions, including modifying files, deleting files, creating new files, and changing permissions. It provides the highest level of access and control over the folder and its contents.

Rate this question:
38.

It is possible to allow NTFS permissions to cascade down to subfolders.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
NTFS permissions can be set to cascade down to subfolders, meaning that the permissions set on a parent folder can be inherited by its subfolders. This allows for easier management of permissions, as changes made to the parent folder's permissions will automatically apply to all subfolders. This can be useful in situations where you want to grant or restrict access to multiple folders within a directory hierarchy without having to individually set permissions for each folder.

For ease of administration, one method is to set share permissions to ___________ for the Everyone group and the modify _________________ permissions accordingly.
- A.
  
  1. Read and Execute; 2. individual
- B.
  
  1. Modify; 2. Group
- C.
  
  1. Full Control; 2. NTFS
- D.
  
  1. Write; 2. share
Correct Answer
C. 1. Full Control; 2. NTFS

Explanation
To ensure ease of administration, it is suggested to set share permissions to "Full Control" for the Everyone group. This allows all users to have complete control over the shared resource. Then, the modify permissions can be adjusted accordingly using NTFS permissions. NTFS permissions enable more granular control over individual users or groups, allowing specific actions such as read, write, execute, etc. This approach ensures that the Everyone group has the necessary access to the shared resource, while still allowing for more specific modifications through NTFS permissions.

Correct Answer
C. Hidden

Explanation
When a share name ends in a dollar sign, it is a hidden share. Hidden shares are not visible when browsing the network, and their names are typically followed by a dollar sign to indicate their hidden status. These shares are often used for administrative purposes and are not intended for regular user access.

Which of the following is not found on the Windows Security dialog box?
- A.
  
  Shutdown
- B.
  
  Change Password
- C.
  
  Sharing
- D.
  
  Task Manager
Correct Answer
C. Sharing

Explanation
The option "Sharing" is not found on the Windows Security dialog box. The Windows Security dialog box typically includes options related to user accounts, passwords, system settings, and security features. Sharing, on the other hand, is a feature that allows users to share files, folders, and printers with other users or devices on a network. It is not directly related to security settings and therefore not included in the Windows Security dialog box.

Where can you go to change your password?
- A.
  
  The main screen of the Systems Properties window
- B.
  
  User Accounts Control Panel
- C.
  
  Both of the Above
- D.
  
  None of the Above
Correct Answer
B. User Accounts Control Panel

Explanation
The User Accounts Control Panel is the correct answer because it is the specific location in which users can go to change their password. The main screen of the Systems Properties window may have various options and settings, but it does not specifically provide the option to change passwords. Therefore, "Both of the Above" is not the correct answer. "None of the Above" is also incorrect as the User Accounts Control Panel is indeed the appropriate place to change passwords.
