CIT226 Server Ch 5
Chapter 5 - Resource Access
Question | Answer |
---|---|
attribute | A characteristic associated with a folder or file used to help manage access. |
auditing | In Windows Server 2008, a security capability that tracks activity on an object, such as reading, writing, creating, or deleting a file in a folder. |
compiler | A program that reads lines of program code in a source file and converts the code into machine-language instructions the computer can execute. |
DFS topology | Applies to a domain-based DFS model and encompasses the DFS namespace root, shared folders, and replication folders. |
Directory Service Client (DSCIient) | Microsoft software for pre-Windows 2000 clients that connect to Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008 and enables those clients to view information published in Active Directory. |
discretionary access control list (DACL) | An access control list that manages access to an object, such as a folder, and that is configured by a server administrator or owner of the object. |
disk quota | Allocating a specific amount of disk space to a user or application with the ability to ensure that the user or application cannot use more disk space than is specified in the allocation. |
Distributed File System (DFS) | A system that enables folders shared from multiple computers to appear as though they exist in one centralized hierarchy of folders instead of on many different computers. |
domain-based DFS model | A DFS model that uses Active Directory and is available only to servers and workstations that are members of a particular domain. DFS shared folders in the domain-based model can be replicated for fault tolerance and load balancing. |
dynamic-link library (DLL) files | A library of files containing program code that can be called and run by Windows applications (and with SUA, also used by UNIX/Linux applications). See Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications. |
Encrypting File System (EFS) | Set by an attribute of NTFS, enables a user to encrypt the contents of a folder or a file so that it can only be accessed via private key code by the user who encrypted it. |
folder target | A path in the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) format, such as to a DFS shared folder or to a different DFS path. |
inherited permissions | Permissions of a parent object that also apply to child objects of the parent, such as to subfolders within a folder. |
load balancing | On a single server, distributing resources across multiple server disk drives and paths for better server response; and on multiple network servers, distributing resources across two or more servers for better server and network performance. |
namespace root | The main container that holds DFS links to shared folders in a domain. |
ownership | Having the privilege to change permissions and to fully manipulate an object. The account that creates an object, such as a folder or printer, initially has ownership. |
permissions | In Windows Server 2008, privileges to access and manipulate resource objects, such as folders and printers; for example, the privilege to read a file or to create a new file. |
publish | Making an object, such as a printer or shared folder, available for users to access when they view Active Directory contents and so that the data associated with the object can be replicated. |
replication group | A grouping of shared folders in a DFS namespace root that are replicated or copied to all servers that participate in DFS replication. |
Server for Network Information Services | A service that Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA) can add to AD to make a Server 2008 server a Network Information Services server for coordinating management of user and groups between UNIX/Linux computers and Server 2008 servers on the same net |
share permissions | Permissions that apply to a particular object that is shared over a network, such as a shared folder or printer. |
shell | An interface between the user and the operating system. |
stand-alone DFS model | A DFS model in which no Active Directory implementation is available to help manage the shared folders. This model provides only a single or fl at level share. |
Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA) | A subsystem that can be installed in Windows Server 2008 for using UNIX and Linux commands, applications, and scripts. |
system control ACL (SACL) | An access control list that contains settings to audit the access to an object, such as a folder. |
Universal Naming Convention (UNC) | A naming convention that designates network servers, computers, and shared resources. The format for a UNC name is, for example, \\servername\namespace\folder\file. |
