Overview
In this lab, you reviewed a scenario requiring you to design a Windows folder structure, and you implemented your design. Next, you used the Microsoft® Active Directory Users and Computers utility to create security groups that suited the requirements in the scenario. Finally, you applied those security groups to the folder structure you designed.

Lab Assessment Questions & Answers
1. When you designed a file system in the first section of this lab, why did you choose the structure that you

selected?
Because it is the most basic and easy to understand. Only people who need access will have access and everyone is separate from one another

2. As you look back on the file structure that you created, what changes would you want to make if you

were to use it for a real college environment?
I would have anything to do with the faculty or faculty business separate from the students information or folders that they have access too.

3. In this lab, you assigned members of the Faculty group full control of the Assignments folder. What risk

does this pose?
Any faculty member or anyone with proper credentials can do whatever they like with the folder including corruption and deletion.

4. What could you do to correct the situation described in question 3?

I would not give full permissions. They can have permission to read write and execute

5. What Windows file security attribute allows a user to move through a folder to access files and folders

beneath it?
