Question
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same set of answer choices. Each answer choice may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You have 10 computers that run Windows 10 Pro. The computers are in a workgroup. A computer named PC_User1 has shared folder named Share1. Users are not prompted for credentials when they access Share1. You modify the permissions on Share1 so that the share is shared only to a user named User1. You need to ensure that when users from other computers in the workgroup access Share1, they must authenticate by using the credentials of User1. What should you do?
Options
- AClick Turn on password protected sharing.
- BDisable Network Discovery.
- CModify the Profile settings of an incoming firewall rule.
- DRun the Add-VpnConnectionTriggerApplication cmdlet.
- ERun the New-NetFirewallRule cmdlet and specify the- Direction Outbound parameter.
- FRun the New-VpnConnection cmdlet.
- GRun the Set-NetConnectionProfile cmdlet.
- HRun the Set-VPNConnection cmdlet.

Why each option
Enabling Password Protected Sharing forces remote users to authenticate with a valid local account before accessing shared folders on a workgroup computer.
Password Protected Sharing, found in Network and Sharing Center > Advanced sharing settings, requires that any user attempting to access a shared folder must supply valid credentials matching a local user account on the host machine. With this setting enabled and permissions restricted to User1, remote users will be challenged to provide User1's username and password, ensuring only authorized users can connect to Share1.
Disabling Network Discovery hides the computer from the network browser list but does not enforce or require credential authentication for share access.
Modifying firewall rule profile settings controls which network profiles (domain, private, public) a rule is active on and does not configure authentication requirements for shares.
Add-VpnConnectionTriggerApplication configures per-application VPN auto-trigger behavior and is completely unrelated to workgroup share authentication.
New-NetFirewallRule with -Direction Outbound creates an outbound traffic rule and does not affect inbound share access or credential requirements.
New-VpnConnection creates a new VPN client profile for establishing VPN tunnels and has no relationship to workgroup share credential enforcement.
Set-NetConnectionProfile changes the network category assigned to a connection (Public, Private, DomainAuthenticated) and does not configure share authentication behavior.
Set-VPNConnection modifies properties of an existing VPN connection profile and is unrelated to controlling workgroup share access or authentication.
