A Linux client cannot mount a Windows share. The administrator runs 'smbclient -L //server' and gets 'NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED'. The share is accessible from other clients. Which troubleshooting step is most appropriate?

Check the SMB protocol version supported by the server and specify it with the 'vers' option.

Check the DNS resolution of the server name.

Check the credentials being used and ensure the user has access to the share.

Check the firewall settings on the Linux client to ensure SMB ports are open.

A Linux server needs to mount a Windows share at boot. The share requires Kerberos authentication. The administrator has configured the fstab entry with 'sec=krb5'. However, the mount fails at boot because the Kerberos ticket is not available. Which solution should be used?

Use the 'username' and 'password' options in the fstab entry.

Use the 'guest' option in the fstab entry.

Use a systemd mount unit with 'Requires=network-online.target' and a service that obtains a Kerberos ticket before mounting.

Use 'sec=ntlm' instead of 'sec=krb5' in the fstab entry.

A Linux server is integrated with Active Directory using Winbind. Users can authenticate, but when they run 'getent passwd', only local users are listed. The administrator has verified that 'wbinfo -u' lists domain users correctly. Which configuration is most likely missing?

The 'winbind offline logon' parameter is set to 'yes' in smb.conf.

The 'winbind enum users' parameter is set to 'yes' in the [global] section of smb.conf.

The 'winbind use default domain' parameter is set to 'yes' in smb.conf.

The 'server role' is set to 'member server' in smb.conf.

A user on a Linux desktop wants to browse Windows shares using the GNOME Files file manager. The shares are on a Windows server in the same network. The user can see the server in the network list but cannot access the shares. Which action is most likely to resolve the issue?

Install the gvfs-smb package and restart the file manager.

Install the cifs-utils package and restart the file manager.

Install the samba-client package and restart the file manager.

Install the nautilus-share package and restart the file manager.
