4. Which of the following statements about deleting local groups are correct?
(Choose all that apply.)
a. Each group that you create has a unique identifier that cannot be reused.
b. You can restore access to resources by re-creating the group.
c. When you delete a group, you also remove the permissions and rights associated
with it.
d. Deleting a group deletes the user accounts that are members of the group.
The correct answers are A and C. B is not correct because re-creating a group does not re-create
the membership of that group or any of the rights or permissions associated with that
group. D is not correct because deleting a group does not delete the user accounts that are
members of the group. Deleting a group does remove any rights and permissions that were
extended to the members of the group by virtue of their membership.
5. What is the difference between built-in system groups and built-in local groups
found on computers running Windows XP Professional? Give at least two examples
of each type of group.
Built-in local groups give rights to perform system tasks on a single computer, such as backing
up and restoring files, changing the system time, and administering system resources. Some
examples of built-in local groups are Administrators, Backup Operators, Guests, Power Users,
Replicator, and Users. Built-in system groups do not have specific memberships that you can
modify, but they can represent different users at different times, depending on how a user
gains access to a computer or resource. You do not see system groups when you administer
groups, but they are available for use when you assign rights and permissions to resources.
Some examples of built-in system groups are Everyone, Authenticated Users, Creator Owner,
Network, Interactive, Anonymous Logon, and Dialup.
