CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 264

A user is attempting to create a Windows fileshare on a Windows 10 workstation in a small peer-to-peer environment. The user is logged in with a Microsoft account. Which of the following would be the MOST secure way to allow other users to access the share?

Answer options

• A. Create a new local user for peer-to-peer share access.
• B. Provide other users with the Microsoft account information.
• C. Set the share permissions to Everyone/Full Control.
• D. Enable the local guest account access.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Enabling the local guest account access is the most secure way because it allows users to connect without exposing personal Microsoft account information. Creating a new local user also secures access but may not be as convenient. Sharing Microsoft account details and setting share permissions to Everyone/Full Control significantly increases security risks.
