Chapter 17. Managing Data Storage > Answers to Exam Prep Questions
Answers to Exam Prep Questions
| 1. | Answers B, C, and F are correct. You must store shadow copies on NTFS drive volumes, you can only make shadow copies from files stored on NTFS drive volumes, and you can schedule shadow copies to run automatically and create them manually. Answer A is incorrect because previous versions of files stored as shadow copies can only be retrieved under Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 with the Previous Versions Client software installed. Answer D is incorrect because shadow copies are not enabled by default for any drive volume. Answer E is incorrect because you can store shadow copies on any available NTFS drive volume, including the drive volume being shadowed. |
| 2. | Answer C is correct. Windows Server 2003 supports disk quotas on NTFS drive volumes only for individual users, not for groups. Therefore, you would have to create a quota entry for each member of the Remote Desktop Users group—you cannot assign a quota limit to a group. All members of the Administrators group inherit a no-limit disk quota by default, so you cannot set quotas on members of this group. Answer A is incorrect for the reasons just cited. Answer B is incorrect because you cannot set quotas on groups. Answer D is incorrect for the same reason. |
| 3. | Answer A is correct. When you move a compressed file from one NTFS volume to a different NTFS volume, the file inherits the compression attribute from the target location. Answer B is incorrect because an NTFS compressed folder or file retains its compression attribute only when it is moved to another folder on the same NTFS volume. Answer C is incorrect because Windows Server 2003 never prompts the user as to whether a folder or file should remain compressed or uncompressed. Answer D is incorrect because Windows Server 2003 does not generate error messages for moving compressed files to an uncompressed folder. |
| 4. | Answer A is correct. Only the user who originally encrypted the file (or any users given shared access to the encrypted file) may copy the file to a non-NTFS drive volume or to any type of removable media. In addition, only the user who originally encrypted the file (or any users given shared access to the encrypted file) may copy the file or move it to a folder located on a different NTFS volume. A user without shared access to an encrypted file is permitted to move the file only to another folder located on the same NTFS volume, where the file remains encrypted. Answer B is incorrect because, although Aaron will receive an error message when he attempts to copy the file to a floppy disk, he will not receive an error message when he attempts to move the encrypted file to an unencrypted NTFS folder located on the same NTFS volume. Answer C is incorrect because, although Aaron will receive an error message when he attempts to copy the file to a floppy disk, he will be allowed to move the encrypted file to an unencrypted NTFS folder located on the same NTFS volume, but the file will not lose its encryption attribute. Answer D is incorrect because Aaron will receive an error message when he attempts to copy the encrypted file to a floppy disk. |
| 5. | Answer C is correct. The cipher.exe command allows you to encrypt and decrypt files from the command line for EFS. Answer A is incorrect because the attrib.exe command does not provide encryption or decryption features. Answer B is incorrect because cisvc.exe is used for the Content Index Service, not for EFS. Answer D is incorrect because the convert.exe command is used for converting a FAT or FAT32 partition or volume into an NTFS partition or volume. Answer E is incorrect because the change.exe command is used for terminal services only. Answer F is incorrect because the compact.exe tool is a command-line utility used to compress and uncompress files and folders stored on NTFS drive letters. |
| 6. | Answer B is correct. Because the maximum number of shadow copy snapshots that can be stored by a Windows Server 2003 computer is 64, six times a day is the best answer. Six shadow copies multiplied by 10 work days (5 days per week multiplied by 2 weeks) equals 60 shadow copies—just beneath the maximum threshold of 64. Answer A is incorrect because if Brendan were to schedule eight shadow copies per day, 8 multiplied by 10 work days equals 80 shadow copies. Since the maximum number of stored shadow copies is 64, the oldest shadow copies would be overwritten during each previous two-week period and this would not provide for a full two week’s worth of previous versions of data files. Answer C is incorrect because although 4 multiplied by 10 work days is less than the maximum of 64 shadow copies stored within a two week period, this schedule does not maximize the number of shadow copies that can be stored on a daily basis. Answer D is incorrect because if Brendan were to schedule seven shadow copies per day, 7 multiplied by 10 work days equals 70 shadow copies. Since the maximum number of stored shadow copies is 64, the oldest shadow copies would be overwritten during each previous two-week period and this would not provide for a full two week’s worth of previous versions of data files. Answer E is incorrect because although 5 multiplied by 10 work days is less than the maximum of 64 shadow copies stored within a two-week period, this schedule does not maximize the number of shadow copies that can be stored on a daily basis. Answer F is incorrect because it is the title of a song by the Beatles—this is a joke answer. |
| 7. | Answers A, C, and D are correct. Shadow Copies of Shared Folders can only be created on NTFS drive letters; you can only use EFS on NTFS-formatted drive letters; and disk quotas are only available on NTFS partitions and volumes. Answer B is incorrect because Compressed (Zipped) Folders are supported under the FAT, FAT32, and NTFS file systems. Answer E is incorrect because you can copy the previous version of a file or folder onto a drive letter formatted as FAT, FAT32, or NTFS. Answer F is incorrect because USB storage devices can be formatted as FAT, FAT32, or NTFS. |
| 8. | Answer A is correct. Users who have the proper NTFS security permissions can move an EFS-encrypted file from one folder to another as long as the folder resides on the same NTFS partition or volume. Answer B is incorrect for the same reason as Answer A—Dan would have received an Access Is Denied error message if he had tried to copy the file. Answer C is incorrect because even though the file may be moved, it cannot be unencrypted when a user who does not have shared access to the encrypted file simply moves it to another location. Answer D is incorrect because the question stipulates that the file was moved, not copied and an attempt to copy the file would result in an Access Is Denied error message. |
| 9. | Answers B, D, and E are correct. Windows Server 2003 natively supports read and write operations for CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-RAM media. Answer A is incorrect because Windows Server 2003 supports read access for DVD-RW media without requiring third-party software; however, it does not support writing to DVD-RW media without third-party software. Answer C is incorrect because Windows Server 2003 supports read access for DVD+RW media without requiring third-party software; however, it does not support writing to DVD+RW media without third-party software. Answer F is incorrect because Windows Server 2003 supports read access for DVD+R media without requiring third-party software; however, it does not support writing to DVD+R media without third-party software. |
