The correct answer is A. The user is attempting to save a file with a prohibited file extension. File screening policies enforced by the server can block files with specific extensions even when the user has sufficient disk quota and write permissions.
Question
A user is unable to save an image file to their home directory on a server. The server technician checks the disk space and ACL on the user's home directory and finds that the user has enough space and required access to write to the directory. Which of the following is the MOST likely reason why the user is unable to save the file?
Options
- AThe user is attempting to save a file with a prohibited file extension.
- BThere are too many open files on the server.
- CThe user does not have permission to save files to the server.
- DThe hard drive containing the user's home directory, is failing.

Why each option
File screening policies enforced by the server can block files with specific extensions even when the user has sufficient disk quota and write permissions.
Windows Server File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) allows administrators to create file screening policies that prevent files with certain extensions from being written to specific directories. If the image file's extension falls under a blocked category, the save will be rejected at the server level regardless of the user's ACL rights or available disk space.
Exceeding the server's open file handle limit would be a server-wide condition affecting many users simultaneously, not a single user's isolated save attempt.
The technician already verified the user has the required ACL write access, so insufficient permission is already ruled out as a cause.
A failing hard drive would typically produce widespread errors or data corruption affecting multiple users, not a targeted failure for one user saving one file.
