The answers to these questions are located in Appendix A, "Questions and Answers."

1. You are the administrator for your organization's network. Management would like to segregate documents so that marketing documents are available to everybody on the network while research and development documents are hidden in a shared folder. How can this be accomplished?
2. Users are distraught because information they need is scattered throughout the network on various servers. This forces them to remember the names of all of the servers and shared folders on the entire network, which is difficult at best. As the administrator, what can you do to alleviate this problem?
3. Your company utilizes a data center for centralized storage and control of corporate documents. Each user is allocated a certain amount of storage at the data center and the user's department is charged a monthly fee for usage. In the past, the data center's strategy has been to partition the drives on the servers to configure each user's allocation. This creates problems when the allocations must be changed. The data center is going to be upgrading all of its servers to Windows 2000. Which feature of Windows 2000 will make setting the allocations easier?
4. Users complain that access times to the data center's servers has increased over the past few months. What maintenance must be done and when should this be done?
