I feel absolutely crap just now. I thought i knew everything about the OS but nope.
I just sat my first XP exam. I sat measure ups and practice tests and passed them, i sat the exam and failed by 2%
I am taking other practice tests and now, im failing them badly. i do not know what to do.
NTFS Permission - How does this work?

What happens if you have a shared folder, you give a group access of rights "Write"
a user in that group has permission on their account to "Read"

I thought NTFS permissions are applied and the most restrictive permission would be applied, in this case, Read for that user. Is this true?

how does it work?

If you give a group Read permission but in that group you give a user Read and Write permission, do they have Read permission or Read and Write permission?

help!

NTFS permissions and Share permissions are two different things.

You calculate each separately, using the most permissive for each of Share and NTFS permissions... Then use the most restrictive of the intersection of the two types of permissions.

Note that "Deny" permissions will override in each case.
