Exercise 4.2	Testing Share Access
Overview	In this exercise, you demonstrate the use of share permissions to limit access to file system shares.
Mindset	What are the capabilities of share permissions, and do you as an administrator want to make use of them?
Completion time	15 minutes


Question 2	Why are you unable to modify or delete the Budget file?





Question 3	Why are you now able to modify the Budget file?






Exercise 4.3	Working with NTFS Permissions
Overview
	In this exercise, you demonstrate the use of NTFS permissions in combination with share permissions.
Mindset	The use of share permissions and NTFS permissions together can be confusing, especially when there are multiple administrators working on the same servers. Permissions should, therefore, be dictated by a company policy adhered to by everyone.
Completion time	15 minutes


Question 4	For the purposes of this lab, you assign permissions directly to the Student user account. How does this differ from standard enterprise networking practice?





Question5	Why are you unable to modify the Budget file, when you have the Allow Full Control NTFS permission?





Question 6	Why are you able to modify the Budget file on this computer, when you were unable to modify it on the other computer?



14.	Take a screen shot of the Security tab on the Accounting Properties sheet, showing the NTFS permissions assigned to the Student user, by pressing Alt+Prt Scr, and then paste the resulting image into the Lab 4 worksheet file in the pageprovided by pressing Ctrl+V.

Exercise 4.4	Creating Shares with Server Manager
Overview
	In Windows Server 2012, you can create shares directly within the Server Manager console, once you have installed the file and iSCSI Services role service. In this exercise, you install that role service and create a new share.

Mindset	Windows Server 2012 is all about providing administrators with new ways to perform familiar tasks. Which method for creating shares do you find preferable?
Completion time	15 minutes


Question  7	What access will the Student user have to the Documents share you are creating? How will the users receive that access? 





19.	Take a screen shot of the Shares home page in Server Manager, showing the two shares you created in this lab, by pressing Alt+Prt Scr, and then paste the resulting image into the Lab 4 worksheet file in the page provided by pressing Ctrl+V.

Lab
Challenge	Creating Shares with Windows PowerShell
Overview
	In addition to the graphical tools provided with Windows Server 2012, you can also manipulate the storage subsystem using Windows PowerShell commands.
Completion time	15 minutes


To complete this challenge, specify the Windows PowerShell command you must use to create a new share called Xfer out of the Users folder on the C: drive. Configure the share permissions so that members of the Domain Admins group have Full Access and the members of the Domain Users group have Read access.
