That should be correct (A). I can map a drive and use the local account on Computer1 to authenticate

Answer is NO: We do not know the NTFS permissions Share permissions and NTFS permissions are independent in the sense that neither changes the other. The final access permissions on a shared folder are determined by taking into consideration both the Share permission and the NTFS permission entries

Everyone has full control on the share so any local user will be able to access it. The answer is yes

if it is yes, it means that user2 has to access the computer 1 every time he needs to access share 1. user 2 has to use computer 2, not computer 1.

Selected Answer: B

Both answers are reasonable, but I'm going to go for B. Here's why: True, when creating a folder you get default NTFS permissions (all else being equal) and then those are matched with share permissions. That would be the default situation here, which would yield an answer of 'A'. However, we are told nothing about the NTFS permissions, which could mean that those permissions were changed to be more restrictive than the share permissions. In effect, the question would be: "Given the following information about the share permissions and the proposed solution, is that sufficient to conclude that a local user2 could access the share?" Well, the answer is 'no'. Lots of the MD-100 questions are a play on words unfortunately..

I've tested. Without NTFS rights, users get access denied With NFTS is works but in the question there is no info about it so the answer is NO

Since the NTFS permissions are unknown the answer is NO. You need both Share and NTFS permissions to be able to access the folder.

Agreed. We don't know anything about the NTFS permissions of that Share1 folder.

I think I get why it's set as "no"; The question asks us to make sure User2 can access Share1. They *might* be nitpicking us here since technically using an alternate account doesn't let user2's account access the share. It's not *technically* user2 accessing share1 as they say. That's really stupid, like excessively pedantic for no good reason, if it's the case. Betting though that the answer was just not marked properly here - this is the exam dump, not the exam itself after all.

Answer is A, I have just tested this, I left NTFS permissions set to default, create a local user2 on both machines, created a share1 on computer1 and gave everyone full permissions, I was able to browse to computer1 as user2

The answer is yes. The folder C:\Folder 1 will have Users (read and execute, read, list) by default. The SMB is everyone / full and the user can use the newly created account to get him into the share... if he browses to it he will be prompted for credentials or he can mao it using the credentials.

Just only created an account won't be enough. So the permission will need to be granted for a new account on Computer1.

Answer is wrong, as no mention of permissions for the local user account.

It should be A. When you create a map it gives local users / authenticated users read/modify rights. Since question is not giving more info, we could assume that the default permissions are present.
