Overview
In this lab, you reviewed a scenario requiring you to design a Windows folder structure, and you implemented your design. Next, you used the Microsoft® Active Directory Users and Computers utility to create security groups that suited the requirements in the scenario. Finally, you applied those security groups to the folder structure you designed.

Lab Assessment Questions & Answers
1. When you designed a file system in the first section of this lab, why did you choose the structure that you

selected?
To keep an organizational structure of the classes being offered.

2. As you look back on the file structure that you created, what changes would you want to make if you

were to use it for a real college environment?
I would probably add a couple of folders under each course folder labeled "Completed Students
Assignments", other than that the structure is simple enough to maintain and keep organized.
