Notice the error that you got. That is because the user based on your name was put in the
Networking group and doesn’t have any share permissions.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing the error (#3).
Log back on to the server and change the share permissions so the Networking group has
Reader permissions.

expand the Computer in the left pane, and click drive Z:. The November text file that you
created on the server is displayed in the right panel.

error. You tried to change the contents of the file but you only had Reader permissions.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing your name and the error (#4).
Log off of the PC.
Log on as the student user (experimental\student) with a password of Password! that you put
in the Accounting group.
Map the drive to the Reports folder as R:.
Open the November file and put your name in it. Save the file. The size should be 1 KB.

DFS, shares just refer to the domain name. The administrator can put the folders anywhere in
the domain.
