Santa Claus is the administrator of a 50-user network supporting Windows 2000 Professional computers.

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!!

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...

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.
