Multiple NTFS Permissions

• NTFS Permissions are cummulative
• File permissions override folder permissions
• Deny overrides other permissions

Copy & Moving

• Copying always wipes orig permissions
• Only MOVING in the SAME PARTITION retains the permissions

Encryption

• The administrator of the computer is always able to view the encrypted file of anyone who has encrypted a file on the computer
• The administrator profile posesses the recovery key for each encrypted file.

Sharing & Distributed File System (DFS)

• net share command at the command prompt shows all your current shared folders
• you can also see shares in the computer mgmt area when you right-click My Computer
• net view shows shares of other computers on the network
• Put a $ at the end of your share name when you want a shared folder to be secret
• Only 1 DFS root is allowed per server
• system is kind of buggy, has been corrected in Windows Server 2003 so that the gui prevents nesting DFS'
