Case Scenario Exercises

Scenario 9.1

A small office user with three employees has just purchased a new computer running Windows XP and has set up a network using a four-port hub. She connected her three existing computers running Windows 98 and her new computer running Windows XP, and then she used the Network Setup Wizard on the computer running Windows XP to create the network. She reports that she made no other changes. After sharing a few folders, she reports that everyone on the network can view and make changes to her shared files. She wants the users on her network to be able to view the files only, not edit or change them. What should you tell the user to do? (Select all that apply.)

1. Disable Simple File Sharing.

2. Convert the file system of the computer running Windows XP to NTFS.

3. Clear the Allow Users To Change My Files check box on the Sharing tab of each shared folder.

4. Drag the shared folders to the Shared Documents folder.

5. Upgrade all of the computers to Windows XP.

Scenario 9.2

The company you work for has its users separated into four user groups: the Administrators group, the Power Users group, the Users group, and the Temporary Workers group. The company’s network is configured as a workgroup. The first three groups are built-in groups, and a network administrator created the last group. A user at your company who has previously been a member of the Administrators group has recently been demoted and placed in the Power Users group. He reports several problems:

• He cannot back up or restore files and folders on the network.

• He cannot manage auditing and security logs.

• He cannot take ownership of files and folders.

• He cannot force shutdown of a remote system.

What is the cause of this?

1. This is the expected behavior based on the user’s new group membership.

2. Local policies are preventing access.

3. Group Policy settings are preventing access.

4. Public key policies are preventing access.
