A partial folder structure for the servers at a manufacturing company
You need to make resources on these servers available to network users. To do this,
determine which folders to share and which permissions to assign to groups, including
the appropriate built-in groups. Base your planning decisions on the following criteria:
■
Members of the Managers group need to read and revise documents in the Man-
agement Guidelines folder. Nobody else should have access to this folder.
■
Administrators need complete access to all shared folders, except for Management
Guidelines.
■
The customer service department needs its own network location to store working
files. All customer service representatives are members of the Customer Service
group.
■
All employees need a network location to share information with each other.
■
All employees need to use the spreadsheet, database, and word processing soft-
ware.
■
Only members of the Managers group should have access to the project manage-
ment software.
■
Members of the CustomerDBFull group need to read and update the customer
database.
■
Members of the CustomerDBRead group need to read only the customer database.
■
Each user needs a private network location to store files, which must be accessible
only to that user.
■
Share names must be accessible from computers running Windows 95 and later, as
well as from non-Windows-based platforms.
