Windows Server Administration Fundamentals — Question 167

You work as a Server Administrator for company Inc. The company has a Windows 2008 based network environment. There are thirty client computers running
Windows 7 and three servers running Windows Server 2008 R2. You need to implement a system in the network that provides data access to heterogeneous network clients using SMB/CIFS. Which of the following will you use?

Answer options

• A. Storage area network
• B. Failover clustering
• C. Datafile striping
• D. Network-attached storage

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Network-attached storage, as it allows multiple client devices to access data over a network using SMB/CIFS protocols. Options A, B, and C do not specifically provide the necessary functionality for heterogeneous client access using SMB/CIFS, making them unsuitable choices for this scenario.
