The correct answer is C. No, the server should be located in a locked room. The configuration violates Novell's physical security guidelines by placing the server in an unsecured, customer-accessible area instead of a locked room.

OES NetWare Server Installation and Configuration

Question

You're implementing OES NetWare for a small business client: Jessica's Bakery. There is only one server in the network. You've named the server BAKERY1 and installed it into an eDirectory tree named JESSICASBAKERY-TREE . You've used a random password generator to create a password for the tree's Admin user. You've placed the server hardware next to the point-of-sale system in the customer area of the bakery. All workstations have the latest Novell Client installed on them. You created a directory named SHARED on the server's DATA volume where employees can share files. Does this configuration meet Novell's security recommendations?

Options

  • AYes, all Novell Security guidelines have been met.
  • BNo, you shouldn't use shared directories.
  • CNo, the server should be located in a locked room.
  • DNo, passwords created with a random password generator aren't complex enough.
  • ENo, you shouldn't use the business name in the server or eDirectory tree names.

Why each option

The configuration violates Novell's physical security guidelines by placing the server in an unsecured, customer-accessible area instead of a locked room.

AYes, all Novell Security guidelines have been met.

The configuration does not meet all guidelines because physical security is violated by placing the server in an unsecured public area.

BNo, you shouldn't use shared directories.

Shared directories are a standard, supported feature of NetWare and are not prohibited by Novell security guidelines.

CNo, the server should be located in a locked room.Correct

Novell security guidelines require that server hardware be placed in a physically secured, locked room to prevent unauthorized access. A server sitting next to a point-of-sale terminal in a public customer area can be physically tampered with, rebooted, or have removable media inserted, bypassing software-level security controls entirely.

DNo, passwords created with a random password generator aren't complex enough.

Random password generators can produce highly complex passwords and their use is an acceptable - even recommended - practice for securing admin credentials.

ENo, you shouldn't use the business name in the server or eDirectory tree names.

Novell security guidelines do not prohibit using a business name in server or eDirectory tree names.
