Answer: A

Explanation: The WebDAV Web service extension allows users to edit, delete and move files and directories, and share documents over the Internet. WebDAV utilizes port 80, which is the default port used by HTTP. However, by default, WebDAV is not installed, nor enabled in IIS 6.0. To enable WebDAV in IIS Manager for EliteCertify -SR29, select the Web Service Extensions (WSE. node in the console tree, right-click WebDAV in the detail pane, and then click Allow to enable WebDAV for all websites and virtual directories on EliteCertify -SR29. Incorrect answers: B. TheWorld Wide Web (WWW) service connects HTTP requests from IIS clients to IIS websites. The service is also used to publish Web services. C. If you assign users the Index This Resource Web permission for Directory1, and the Indexing service is enabled, users would be able to search the files in the virtual directory. Before this can be allowed, the WebDAV Web service extension has to be enabled. D. While users need to have the Directory Browsing Web permission assigned for Directory1 to view files in the folder, the issue you have is due to the WebDAV Web service extension not being enabled on EliteCertify -SR29. If the Directory Browsing Web permission is NOT assigned for users and WebDAV Web service extension IS enabled, users will still be able to open Directory1 as a Web folder. The folder will though appear to contain nothing.
