Securing Windows Server 2016 — Question 149

You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016. Server1 contains a folder named Folder1. Folder1 is shared as Share1.
You need to enable SMB encryption for Share1.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. From Shared Folders, modify the Security settings of Share1
• B. From File and Storage Services in Server Manager, modify the properties of Share1
• C. From File Explorer, modify the Advanced Sharing settings of Share1
• D. From File Explorer, modify the Security settings of Folder1

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because SMB encryption can be enabled through the properties of the shared folder in the File and Storage Services section of Server Manager. Options A, C, and D do not provide the necessary interface to enable SMB encryption as they focus on different aspects of file sharing and security settings.
