Objective 5.1: Identify and Troubleshoot Problems Related to Security Permissions

Windows XP provides a feature named Simple File Sharing that is designed to make sharing files on small business and home networks easier for users. When you disable Simple File Sharing, more powerful security features become available. With Simple File Sharing disabled, you can configure specific permissions for users and groups when you share a resource. You can also configure NTFS permissions to provide powerful local security on disks formatted with the NTFS file system.

As a DST, you should be able to configure security permissions and determine when security permissions are preventing users’ access to resources.
