Q: Do we need to be familiar with the Windows SharePoint Service roles for the 70-282 exam?

A: Yes, you must know the different default roles for SharePoint.

Q: If you have added groups to a user, and then run the Change User Permissions wizard, will it reset all permissions and remove the previously granted groups?

A: You have the option to replace or append the existing permissions in the wizard.

Q: After modifying a default user template, does the change become effective immediately for users that were previously set up using that template? If not, what has to happen for it to become effective?

A: Modifying a template does not modify the users that were created using that template. However, you can use the Change User Permissions wizard to update users accounts with the current settings from a template.

Q: Which NTFS permission allow users to delete a file or folder?

A: The Modify permission. For more details, please see https://support.microsoft.com/kb/308419/.

Q: If a folder is moved to a new partition (causing NTFS inherited permissions to be set), are inherited permissions turned back on for all child folders and files, too?

A: Yes.

Q: Can I update an existing Windows SBS 2003 server to the R2 release?

A: Yes, there is a version upgrade. Please see https://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/sbs/howtobuy/pricing.mspx.

Q: If you upgrade Windows SBS 2003 to the R2 release, are you required to rename the domain to use .pri instead of .local?

A: No, it is not necessary. In fact, you cannot change the domain name with re-installing Windows SBS.

Q: Is there a way to change the domain’s top-level domain from .local to .pri, when upgrading to Windows SBS 2003 R2?

A: No, you cannot change the domain name with re-installing.

Q: Can you use the top-level domain .pri with Windows SBS 2003 versions prior to R2?

A: Yes. There are no restrictions in using the .pri naming convention.

Q: Can we save a group policy object (GPO) or export the settings from one server and import them on another server? If so how?

A: Yes, please see https://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/technologies/featured/gp/faq.mspx.

Q: If a file is copied from a folder with very restrictive permissions to a folder with full permissions, do both files (the original file and the new copy of the file) obtain the least restrictive permissions?

A: No. When a file is copied from one location to another, whether on the same or different volume, a new file is created in the destination location. The file inherits the permissions, the Access Control List (ACL), from its parent folder. The original file permissions are not modified in any way. Also note that when a file is moved from one location to another on the same volume, the file retains its security descriptor--only the pointer to the resource is modified. However, when a file is moved from one location to another on a different volume, it acts similar to the copy, except the file is deleted from the source location. The moved file would then inherit the permissions from the destination parent folder.

Q: If WSUS was installed independently on a Windows SBS 2003 system (via download & install), should it be removed prior to installing the integrated version from the R2 supplemental CD?

A: No, that is not necessary. Also note that any custom changes or settings will be retained after installing the R2 Technologies CD.

Q: When using WSUS, do the PC users have to have admin authority for the updates to be installed?

A: No.

Q: I am running a Windows SBS 2003 Standard Edition server and want to upgrade to Windows SBS 2003 R2 Premium Edition so I have ISA Server 2004. What do I need to backup to move all the users and settings to the new install?

A: As a best practice, you should back up everything, including the System State. You will also need to install SP1 for Windows SBS 2003. Then you can install the new components from the Premium Technologies and R2 Technologies media that are included with Windows SBS 2003 R2.
