Overview

In this lab, you used the Windows command-line utility, icacls.exe, to establish file-level

permissions following a set of access control requirements. You tested those permissions

by remotely accessing the Windows server and attempting to modify files in the secured

folders. You used screen captures to document that the access control changes you made

in this lab were properly applied.
