 Question about a question:
Harvey shares a Windows 2000 Professional laptop with several other users in his department. All of the users of the laptop are administrators and have full control permissions to all files on the laptop. Harvey has some confidential data on the laptop so he encrypts it using Windows 2000's encrypting file system (EFS). What will the other administrators be able to do to Harvey's files? (choose all that apply)
A. Since the other administrators have full control, they will be able to read Harvey's data.
B. Since the other administrators have full control, they will be able to delete Harvey's data
C. Since the other administrators have full control, they will be able to change Harvey's data
D. Even though the other administrators have full control, they will not be able to do anything to Harvey's data.
The correct answer is given as B. Yet, wouldn't the other admins simply change Harvey's password, log on as Harvey and do whatever they wanted? This procedure is the one usually suggested when, hypothetically, Bob leaves the company and Bob's manager wants to access his encrypted files. The admin goes in, changes Bob's password, logs in as Bob and decrypts the files.

uh Frank. What is EFS? Can you give us a link to it?
Let me illustrate the problem with using acronyms.
What does PCMCIA stand for?
Cheers

Got it from DailyQuest@MCSEguide.com, I remained subscribed after passing 210. Refreshes the gray matter.
I guess 'B' is the correct plain vanilla answer, but I would surely have answered A, B, & C.

People working with Windows 2000 should know what EFS is. Just like people working with PC should know what RAM and ROM and CPU stand for.

I agree with you on this. Furthermore, the administrator can take ownership of the files and do whatever he wants. This is the danger of giving users administrator right.

As I said in the other thread "deja-vu", Alison is not very bright. The other users could just copy the file to a FAT disk and read the confidential info!

If you look at what Frank wrote you will see that he referred to a section of the Micsrosoft site. Acronyms are not unique, therefore being more explicit is not an unusual request. And as you highlighted {and I hinted at}, PCMCIA has more than one meaning. Thanks for proving my point.
