CREATE AN ADDITIONAL SHARE NAME FOR A FOLDER

4. If needed, you can apply different ______________________ permissions to each

folder, file, and subfolder.

Lesson Summary

To combine shared folder and NTFS permissions, you should take the following

steps:

a. Calculate the NTFS effective permissions for the user.

b. Calculate the shared folder effective permissions for the user.

c. Analyze the results of steps 1 and 2, and select the result that is the more

restrictive of the two. This will be the user’s effective permission for the

shared folder.

On a FAT volume, the shared folder permissions are the only available way to pro-

vide security for the folders you have shared and for the folders and files they con-

tain. On an NTFS volume, you can assign NTFS permissions to individual users

and groups to better control access to the files and subfolders in the shared fold-

ers. On an NTFS volume, you can apply different NTFS permissions to each file

and subfolder in a shared folder.

Case Scenario Exercise

In this exercise, you will read a scenario about planning shared folders and then

answer the questions that follow. If you have difficulty completing this work, review

the material in this chapter before beginning the next chapter. You can find answers to

these questions in the “Questions and Answers” section at the end of this chapter.

Scenario

You are an administrator working for a company named Contoso, Ltd., a manufacturer

of telephone systems used in airplanes. You are planning how to share resources on

servers in the company’s main office. Record your decisions in the table at the end of

this exercise. Figure 9-10 illustrates a partial folder structure for the servers at the man-

ufacturing company.
