All vendors belong to a global group named vendors.
You place three file servers in a new organizational unit (OU) named ConfidentialFileServers. The three file
servers contain confidential data located in sharedfolders.
You need to record any failed attempts made by the vendors to access the confidential data.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correctanswer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A.
Create a new Group Policy Object (GPO) and link it to the CONFIDENTIALFILESERVERS OU. Configure
the Audit object access failureaudit policy setting.
B.
Create a new Group Policy Object (GPO) and link it to the CONFIDENTIALFILESERVERS OU. Configure
the Audit privilege use Failureaudit policy setting.
C.
On each shared folder on the three file servers, add the Vendors global group to the Auditingtab.
Configure Failed Full controlsetting in the AuditingEntrydialog box.
D.
On each shared folder on the three file servers, add the three servers to the Auditingtab. Configure Failed
Full controlsetting in the AuditingEntrydialog box.
E.
Create a new Group Policy Object (GPO) and link it to the CONFIDENTIALFILESERVERS OU. Configure
the Deny access to this computer from the networkuser rights setting for the Vendors global group.
Explanation:
Practically the same as A/Q30.

Auditing Resource Access
Object access can be audited, although it is not one of the recommended settings. Auditing object access can
place a significant load on the servers, so it should only be enabled when it is specifically needed. Auditing
object access is a two-step process: Step one is enabling Audit object accessand step two is selecting the
objects to be audited. When enabling Audit object access, you need to decide if both failure and success
events will be logged. The two options are as follows:
Audit object access failureenables you to see if users are attempting to access objects to which they
have no rights. This shows unauthorized attempts.
Audit object access successenables you to see usage patterns. This shows misuse of privilege.
After object access auditing is enabled, you can easily monitor access to resources such as folders, files, and
printers.
Auditing Files and Folders
The network administrator can tailor the way Windows Server 2008 R2 audits files and folders through the
property pages for those files or folders. Keep in mind that the more files and folders that are audited, the more
events that can be generated, which can increase administrative overhead and system resource requirements.
Therefore, choose wisely which files and folders toaudit. To audit a file or folder, do the following:
1. In Windows Explorer, right-click the file or folder to audit and select Properties.
2. Select the Security tab and then click the Advanced button.
3. In the Advanced Security Settings window, select theAuditing taband click the Edit button.
4. Click the Add button to display the Select User or Group window.
5. Enter the name of the user or group to audit when accessing the file or folder. Click the Check Names
button to verify the name.
