SMB signing help

I need help with these two questions, which Im pretty sure i'm right.
I have both answer being D, because that set up it for Windows 2000 computers. For the answer to be true, it should read :

Workstation/Client
Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always) Security Setting: disabled
Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (if server agrees) Security Setting: enabled

I'm not asking for the right answer, just asking if I am right :grin:
Thanks for the help:pray:


4. The research group requires additional security for their Windows 2003 file server. They want to protect the file server by requiring SMB signing. As mentioned in the case study, all client computers are Windows XP Pro computers. All computers and the file server are joined in a domain.
Required Result: SMB signing should be implemented so that Windows XP computers can have secure communications with a Windows 2003 Server used as a file server.
Optional Desired Results: Only computers configured for SMB signing will be able to communicate with the server. Because files may be stored on the client systems, client computers will also require SMB signing for all communications.
Proposed Solution: The following security option(s) is enabled in the local computer security policy.
· Digitally Sign Server Communications (Always)
· Digitally Sign Server Communications (When Possible)
In the registry of all Windows XP clients, the RequireSecuritySignature and EnableSecuritySignature values are set to 1.
Evaluation of Proposed Solution: Which result(s) does the proposed solution produce?
A. The proposed solution produces the required result and both of the optional results.
B. The proposed solution produces the required result and one of the optional results.
C. The proposed solution produces the required result but neither of the optional results.
D. The proposed solution does not produce the required result.
5. The research group requires additional security for its Windows 2003 file server. The company wants to protect the file server by requiring SMB signing. All client computers are Windows XP Pro computers. All computers and the file server are joined in a domain.
Required Result: SMB signing should be implemented so that Windows XP computers can have secure communications with a Windows 2003 Server used as a file server.
Optional Desired Results: Only computers configured for SMB signing will be able to communicate with the server.
Because files may be stored on the client systems, client computers will also require SMB signing for all communications.
Proposed Solution: The following security option(s) is enabled in the GPO of the OU that contains the server:
· Digitally Sign Server Communications (Always)
· Digitally Sign Server Communications (When Possible)
In the registry of all Windows NT clients, the RequireSecuritySignature and EnableSecuritySignature values are set to 1.

Because of this:
