Ch. 2 Managing and Troubleshooting Access to Resources • Files and folders A user stores important data on the computer in the form of files and folders.Some folders may contain important and/or confidential files. When a user logs on to a Windows XP computer, the access token generated by the operating system gives them access to all of the files and folders to which they have NTFS permissions. It’s important to understand how this access is granted and what can affect a user’s access to a file or folder. • Shared folders While file and folder permissions in NTFS control the local access to a resource, share permissions control the access to shared folders on a network. When a resource is shared, users can gain access to the resource through the network from other computers on the network. It’s important to understand how shared permissions operate and how they combine with file and folder permissions. Pg 46
Ch. 2 Managing and Troubleshooting Access to Resources • Printers Print permissions are specific to software on the network called printers. Printers are used to control the hardware that actually makes the hard copy, which is called a print device. Users should be able to use the printers that they need in a transparent fashion. They should also be prevented from using printers that are set aside for special users or groups. You should understand how print permissions operate and what can affect a user’s ability to print to a specific print device. • Offline files and folders Many users now work at home or while traveling on business. When they are in the office, they connect their laptop computer to the network to synchronize files and folders with files and folders on the network server so they can work on the files while they are away from the office. When they return to the office, they synchronize any changes that they have made while they were not connected. You should be aware of the additional challenges of managing and troubleshooting these offline files and folders. Pg 46
Files and Folders • NTFS • Control Access to specific Files and Folders • NTF Permissions • Permissions are assigned directly • Or inherited • Need full control to make changes Pg 47
NTFS File Permissions • test Pg 47
NTFS Folder Permissions • test Pg 48
Verifying NTFS Permissions • Check the properties • Verify the users settings • Effective Permissions tool Pg 49
Special Considerations with Managing and Troubleshooting NTFS Permissions • Permission Inheritance • Deny Permissions Pg 52
Special Permissions • More detailed than regular • Access Token Generation • Taking Ownership of Files/Folders • Encrypted Files Pg 5
Shared Folders • File Sharing has different permissions that will interact with NTFS • Think of effective permissions • Permissions different if logged in on PC vs. Remote Access • Logged in uses NTFS only • Remote access (map network Drive) uses share and NTFS permissions Pg 59

Offline Files and Folders • Manual Caching of Documents Manual caching of documents provides caching only to those files that users specifically identify for offline use. Manual caching is the default setting when you create a share. This option is ideal for a shared folder that contains files that may be cached and modified by several users. • Automatic Caching of Documents With this setting, every file that is opened through a share is automatically cached to the client computer. When you open a cached copy of the share, the cached copy on the computer is used but the original folder is also opened to prevent other users from changing the file while you have it open. • Automatic Caching of Programs and Documents This setting provides automatic, readonly caching of files from the share. This is ideal for shares that contain static configuration files for network-based applications. Pg 81
Synchronization Pg 83
Exam Essentials • Understand NTFS permissions. You should understand NTFS permissions for files and folders. Your understanding should include standard and special permissions, as well as permission inheritance. You should also be familiar with the new Effective Permissions tool in Windows XP. Be aware that this tool calculates only the effective NTFS permissions of a user or group to a resource. • Understand shared folder permissions. You should understand shared folder permissions in Windows XP. This includes simple file sharing and classic file sharing. You should know when each type of file sharing is appropriate and when simple file sharing cannot be used. In addition, you should be aware of how shared folders are created and configured in Windows XP. Pg 86
Exam Essentials • Know how to determine effective permissions. You should understand how NTFS file and folder permissions combine with shared folder permissions to create the true effective permissions of a user or group to a resource. You might be asked to determine the effective permissions given a combination of permissions assigned to a user and to groups of which the user is a member. • Understand printers. You should understand what printers are, how they are installed and configured, and how to troubleshoot them. Your understanding should include printer permissions, printer drivers, and the process for troubleshooting printers. You should be able to redirect a printer to another port and restart the print spooler when necessary. • Understand Offline Files and Folders. You should know how to configure Offline Files and Folders on the client software and how to troubleshoot the settings when necessary. Your understanding should include file caching, encryption, and permissions of Offline Files and Folders. Pg 86
