SK0-005 server-administration Practice Question

A user attempts to access a shared folder named \\Server\Finance. The share permissions are set to 'Everyone – Full Control'. The NTFS permissions on the folder grant the user 'Read & Execute' but deny 'Write'. What is the user's effective permission when accessing the share over the network?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Read & Execute

When share and NTFS permissions combine, the most restrictive of the two applies. Share gives Full Control, NTFS gives Read & Execute, so effective access is Read & Execute.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
Full Control
Why it's wrong here
Full Control would require both share and NTFS to allow it; NTFS restricts it to Read & Execute.
✗
Write
Why it's wrong here
NTFS does not grant Write; it is denied at the file system level, so the user cannot write.
✗
No Access
Why it's wrong here
No Access only results if an explicit Deny permission is set, which is not the case here.
✓
Read & Execute
Why this is correct
Correct. The intersection of share (Full Control) and NTFS (Read & Execute) yields Read & Execute.
