| The \Stuff folder is a compressed folder on an NTFS partition. You want to move the \Stuff folder from your Windows 2000 Professional computer to another NTFS partition that does not have any compressed folders.
You want the \Stuff folder to remain compressed after it is moved.
What should you do? (Select one).
A. Move the \Stuff folder.
B. Compress the target folder, and move the \Stuff folder to the target folder.
C. Apply compression to each file in the \Stuff folder, and move the \Stuff folder to the target folder.
D. Re-compress the \Stuff folder, uncompress the target folder, and move the \Stuff folder.
Good luck and see you tomorrow for the answer!! | |

| ok ...B then =)
Moving a file retains its file attributes, longfile names and file data.
Making sure the target file is compressed would alsways be a good idea. Its not specified, but if the user does not want everything except the \stuff folder to NOT be compressed, would be a different answer alltogether. | |

| A for sure. | |

| I'd say B as far as I know only encrypted files retain their status across drives | |

Compressed files and folders have their own characteristics. When a compressed file is copied within an NTFS partition, the file inherits the destination folder's compression state. Thus, compressed files copied to uncompressed folders on the same NTFS partition lose compression. Uncompressed files copied to compressed folders on the same NTFS partition become compressed.
Copying or moving compressed files and folders between different NTFS volumes results in the same behavior. When a compressed file or folder is copied or moved between NTFS partitions, the compressed file or folder being copied or moved inherits the destination folder's compression state.

| This is an excerpt from microsoft windows 2000 resource kit.
Moving Files or Folders on NTFS Volumes
When you move an uncompressed file or folder to another folder, the file remains uncompressed, regardless of the compression state of the folder to which it was moved. For example, if you move an uncompressed file to a compressed folder, the file remains uncompressed after the move, as shown in Figure 17.7. | |

| Moving a compressed file or folder within the same ntfs partition retains the setting.
Moving to a different ntfs partition works by copying the file/folder then deleting the original so file/folder inherits property of new partition.
So B then. | |

| OOOps, sorry guys I just realised that I missed the part of the question that says we are moving the file to a different NTFS partition.
The answer is B

And the answer is.....B
The folder \Stuff is currently compressed and needs to be moved to another NTFS partition where none of the existing folders are compressed.
If I simply move the folder, it will inherit the properties of the target folder. Because the target folder is located on different NTFS partition, the \Stuff folder will become uncompressed (inheriting its' property from the target folder).
Of course you could always compress the target folder after you move it, but the best practice is to compress the target folder first, then move the Stuff folder, where it will then inherit the target folders properties (i.e. compressed).
These type of questions are gimmies on the exam if you understand how it works and can break the question down to:
1) Am I moving or copying.
2) What are the attributes of the file or folder currently, what do they need to be after.
3) Where am I moving or copying to (same/different NTFS partition or to a FAT32 or FAT partition).
Piece of cake. (Move the Same Retains)
Nice job everyone. |
