Vulnerability Exploitation & Privilege Escalation

Question

You work as a Network Administrator for Infonet Inc. The company has a Windows Server 2008 Active Directory-based single domain single forest network. The company has three Windows 2008 file servers, 150 Windows XP Professional, thirty UNIX-based client computers. The network users have identical user accounts for both Active Directory and the UNIX realm. You want to ensure that the UNIX clients on the network can access the file servers. You also want to ensure that the users are able to access all resources by logging on only once, and that no additional software is installed on the UNIX clients. What will you do to accomplish this task? Each correct answer represents a part of the solution. Choose two.

Options

  • AConfigure a distributed file system (Dfs) on the file server in the network.
  • BEnable the Network File System (NFS) component on the file servers in the network.
  • CConfigure ADRMS on the file servers in the network.
  • DEnable User Name Mapping on the file servers in the network.

Explanation

To give UNIX clients native access to Windows Server 2008 file servers with single sign-on and no client-side software installation, you must enable NFS on the file servers and configure User Name Mapping to bridge UNIX and Active Directory identities.

Common mistakes.

  • A. Distributed File System (DFS) is a Windows technology for aggregating and replicating shared folders across servers for Windows clients; it does not provide a UNIX-compatible access protocol or resolve identity mapping between UNIX and Windows accounts.
  • C. Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) is an information protection service that enforces usage policies on documents and emails; it has no role in enabling UNIX clients to mount or access file server shares.
