Summary

You now have learned to create users and groups and to configure sharing and security for Microsoft resources using either Windows NT or Windows 95. You also can connect to either of these machines to gain access to their shared files and printers. Furthermore, this chapter introduced you to a few optional security measures available for sensitive data.

Knowing how to create network resources through sharing is crucial not only for the Networking Essentials exam, but for an understanding of practical Microsoft networking as well. Make sure that you can implement each of these structures and understand how they work. Experiment with permissions and user rights and make sure that the relationship between groups and users is clear. The review questions test how well you learned this chapter’s material.
