   Your organization has a file system on a NAS server that is joined to Active Directory. The finance team needs to access a specific folder via SMB, but only members of the 'FinanceUsers' AD group should be able to read and write. The folder is currently shared with Everyone having full control. What is the most appropriate way to configure the SMB share to meet this requirement?

   • ASet share-level permission to 'FinanceUsers' with Read access and leave NTFS permissions as default.
   • BChange the share-level permission to allow only 'FinanceUsers' with Change access, and set NTFS permissions on the folder to grant Modify to 'FinanceUsers'.
   • CKeep share-level permissions as Everyone/Full Control and set NTFS permissions to deny all other groups except 'FinanceUsers'.
   • DCreate a local group on the NAS server named 'FinanceUsers' and assign it to the share.

   A Windows user reports that they can see an SMB share but cannot create files, even though they are a member of the 'Editors' AD group.

   • AThe NAS server is not joined to Active Directory.
   • BThe share-level permission should be 'Full Control' to allow file creation.
   • CThe user is not a member of the 'Editors' group.

   A Linux application needs to mount an NFS export from a PowerStore NAS server. The application server is in a different subnet (192.168.10.0/24) than the NAS server's storage network (192.168.20.0/24). The NFS export is created with an access rule allowing 192.168.10.0/24. The application server cannot mount the export. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe file system is not associated with the NAS server.
   • BThe NAS server's network interfaces are not reachable from the application server's subnet due to routing or firewall issues.
   • CThe NFS export access rule is incorrect because it should allow the specific IP address, not the subnet.
   • DThe NAS server is not joined to Active Directory.
