Exam MD-100 topic 3 question 33 discussion

The correct answer is D. Name the share Folder1$. To prevent the share from appearing when users browse the network, you should name the share with a dollar sign at the end of the share name, such as "Folder1$". Share names that end with a dollar sign are hidden from users browsing the network and are only accessible by users who know the exact name of the share. Answer A, Enable access-based enumeration, is not relevant to this scenario as it is used to hide files and folders that the user does not have permission to access, not shares. Answer B, Deny the List NTFS permissions on Folder1, is not relevant to this scenario as it only affects the ability of users to list the contents of the folder, not the visibility of the share. Answer C, Add Folder1 to a domain-based DFS namespace, is not relevant to this scenario as it only affects the way that users access the share, not the visibility of the share.

D is correct without a problem. Notice though that Access-based enumeration (ABE) requires a little more configuration to run smoothly here. Besides the Everyone read access from the Share, to ABE work you do need to set the NTFS-level. And the ABE must be applied in the parents folder, not the explicit folder its self.

I don't really understand why it is D. I mean everyone can press the view tab and then press hidden items right, therefore still being able to see the file? Or is it that not everyone can press this button to see hidden items?

D. Name the share Folder1$.

D. Name the share Folder1$.

D. Name the share Folder1$.

$ will hide and also open hidden folders like open c$ to open cdrive

D is the answer.

Is the final answer correct or not? Which would be?

Essa questão ficou muito dividida no gabarito, afinal qual seria a resposta e qual a justificativa? Após um debate de 3 comentários, o gabarito é o mesmo ou não?

This goes back to question 23 proving that even with ABE enabled, naming a folder with a $ makes it invisible regardless of access (which I initially disagreed with) proving the answer in #23 is incorrect.
