What is the number of primary and extended partitions you can have on one disk drive?
|
4 primary paritions or 3 primary partitions and 1 extended partition.
|
|
The two types of disk storage are?
|
Basic storage and dynamic storage.
|
|
The boot partition is?
|
The primary partition or logical drive where the OS files are. This does NOT need to be the active partition.
|
|
The system parition is?
|
The hardware specific parition required to load the OS. This must be the active parition.
|
|
In the Disk Management snap-in, what is Refresh and what is Rescan?
|
Rescan does another inventory of all storage. Refresh updates drive letters, parition types, etc.
|
|
The command line for converting Fat32 to NTFS is?
|
convert <driveletter> /fs:ntfs /v
|
|
The three kinds of volumes on a dynamic disk are?
|
Simple, stripped, spanned.
|
|
What must you do to revert a dynamic disk back to a basic disk?
|
You must remove all the volumes. Consequently, the disk with the volume containing the OS cannot be reverted.
|
|
Quotas are based on what?
|
File ownership
|
|
Explain quoatas and compression.
|
Quotas do not take in consideration compression, but what the actual file size would be.
|
|
How do quotas affect applications when reporting free space.
|
Rather than reporting the amount of free space on the volume, they report the amount of free space left in the user's quota.
|
|
EFS stands for what?
|
Encrypting File System
|
|
What permission must you have to change a file or folder's compression state?
|
The write permission.
|
|
If you chose a cluster size larger than the default 4kb, what happens to compression?
|
It is no longer available.
|
|
What is the name of the command line utility for compressing/uncompressing files and folders?
|
Cipher
|
|
Some of the switches for the clu for compression are?
|
cipher /e /d /s:directory
/e - encrypt /d - decrypt /s - all subfolders & files /f - forces encyption upon files already encrypted /h - includes hidden files/folders /i - continues even after errors /k - created new comp key. Must be used alone /u - updates all files encryption key and recovery agent. /n - may only be used with /u. Used to file all encrypted files without changine key. /r - created recovery key and certificate /w:<directory> - will remove all data from unused space on volume. If pointing to another volume, will erase all data. /x[:efsfile] <filename> - backs up encryption certificate. If efsfile is included, backs up that certificate. |
|
What is a .pfx file?
|
Contains the private key and certificate.
|
|
What is a .cer file?
|
Contains only the encryption certificate.
|
|
Regarding encryption, what happens when you copy a file within an NTFS volume?
|
The copy inherits the compression state of the target folder.
|
|
Regarding encryption, what happens when you move a file/folder within an NTFS volume?
|
It retains it's original compression state.
|
|
Regarding encryption, what happens when you copy a file/folder between NTFS volumes?
|
The copy inherits the compression state of the target folder.
|
|
Regarding encryption, what happens when you move a file or folder between NTFS volumes?
|
It inherits the compression state of the target folder. Reason being that W2k treats a move as a copy and delete.
|
|
Best practices: PKZIP files in a compressed folder?
|
Don't do it. Waste of resources.
|
|
Best practices: how to visually spot compressed files/folders?
|
Use different color. Switch found in Win Explorer or My Computer under Tools > Folder Options > View tab.
|
|
What type of encryptographic algorithm does NTFS use?
|
Public key-based.
|
|
EFS is for encryption only on local storage. What must you use to encrypt data in trasmission?
|
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
|
|
What type of certificates does EFS use?
|
X.509 v3 certificates of the user.
|
|
Encryption keys are copied to the paging file. T/F?
|
False
|
|
Can the temporary files created by programs also be encrypted?
|
Yes, if the folder they reside in is encrypted.
|
|
Regarding encryption, what are DDF and DRF?
|
Data Decription Field and Data Recovery Field. in the file header where the encryption keys are stored.
|
|
What about file encryption and file sharing?
|
Encrypted files cannot be shared.
