| Santa Claus is the administrator of a 50-user network supporting Windows 2000 Professional computers. http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/santa_2.gif
One of the Elves calls to report that he is unable to access a shared folder located on a FAT volume of a Windows 2000 Professional computer. He does not have problems accessing shared folders on other Windows 2000 Professional computers.
Santa verifies that the Elf has sufficient permissions to access the shared folder. Some of the other Elves are already accessing the shared folder. What is the most likely cause? (Select the best choice).
A. A network connection has failed.
B. Caching is disabled for the folder.
C. The Elf is attempting to access the resource locally.
D. The maximum allowed number of users are connected to the share.
Good luck!! Happy Holidays!! and see you Thursday 12/26 for the answer!! http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/santa.gif | |

| A stab in the dark from a non networking kinda dude....
Not A)Not a network connection failure because it says he can access other shared folder on Windows 2000
Not B)Caching is disabled would not prohibit this becauase other elves are already accessing this shared folder.
Dunno what C would do..Dunno how it is possible
Seems to me with the limited amount of people on the network, the admins woul dlimit how many people could access it.
So by process of elimination, I would determine that the user tried to access the shared folder while too many people were in it. Tell the other little elves to stop using it for their naked reindeer pics.

| i wanna say D...seems like the only one that makes sense given the senario
it's obvious that santa claus is a poor administrator seeing that he hasn't figured out a way to script out his present deployments... | |

| D
Tharg is right, it doesn't matter if there are any restrictions set, can't have more than 10 users connecting to resources on a 2k Pro computer. However they may have set it to an even lower number. | |

| Not A: He can access other folders, and the other elves can access the folder in question so the connections look fine to me.
Not B: Whether caching is enabled or disabled is irrelevant when troubleshooting online access to a share (?)
Not C: There is no local security on FAT partitions, so attempting to access the shared folder locally should actually work(?)
D most likely: Santa should know now that the network is busy in late December  .He should have planned accordingly. | |
|
| I'll go for D to help Santa finish the problem and go with the bag full of presents.

| Why am I going for answer C when everybody else is going for D?
Surely shares are not limited unless one has been placed nad there is no mention of limitation in the question.
C is my answer.

Vinnie.
The question mentions that the machine is a W2K Professional. Professional only allows a maximum of 10 connections.

| WPFossil 2002-12-26, 10:35 am |
| Going with D
The answer's not C
Which comes after B
and doesn't rhyme with A | |
| jonhiker 2002-12-26, 11:05 am |
| D)has met or exceeded the max number of shares. ran into this problem in the real world. didn't have this restriction w/ NT4.0, it came along w/ 2K & XP | |

And the answer is.....D
The maximum number of other computers that are permitted to simultaneously connect over the network to a Windows 2000 Professional system is ten. This limit includes all transports and resource sharing protocols combined. This limit is the number of simultaneous sessions from other computers the system is permitted to host. This limit does not apply to the use of administrative tools that attach to the system from a remote computer. So basically, a Windows 2000 Professional system can handle up to 10 inbound connections.
This limitation only applies to inbound connections to Windows 2000 Professional. When you use Windows 2000 Professional, unlimited connections (outbound connections) can be established to other systems.
Nice job everyone!!
FYI - This limitation has been around since Windows NT 3.5
