Title: Connecting to Resources on a Network
Course: CTS1133 Software Configuration > Section: Module 6 – Connecting to Resources on a Network

Introduction

Windows provides features that support the sharing of resources such as files, folders, printers and network storage devices. Each shared resource requires configuration settings to provide access to them and also support a high degree of security against misuse or abuse by network users. In addition, since many resources are accessible from the Internet, additional security features or settings may be needed in order to protect the network from outside or inside attacks on the infrastructure. In this module you will learn how to provide access to network resources and secure them against internal or external abuse by unauthorized users.

Objectives

At the end of this module you will be able to:

- Support Client Server Applications on the network
- Configure file, folder or resource sharing on the network
- Configure network security
