When different operating systems may be collaborating on file sharing (thinks Windows --> Mac) what type of protocol is more standards base, and less operating systems-based, allowing for easier collaboration?

NFS - Network File Sharing

Server for NFS server role Additionally, to connect to NFS shared directories from a Windows Server 2019 system, the Client for NFS feature must be installed as well.

True or False: In addition to sharing files via file explorer, we can share files via Server Manager.

TRUE - It actually enables for more granular previsioning as well.

True or False: When layered permissions are used with Shared or NTFS individually, the combination of these permissions is fairly liberal.

TRUE - Whereas, if we wanted stricter permissioning, we would layer permissions together for both Share and NTFS in conjunction. (Read on a Share, but Full Control on NTFS at the Folder). AKA: When NTFS permissions are more restrictive they would take effect/precedence over the Share permissions.

True or False: Another way to share a folder, is to publish a shared folder to the Active Directory Database.

TRUE - Share the folder via Server Manager, then you can link the folder to the OU within AD and Computers tool.

True or False: NTFS are more granular than share permissions.

TRUE; Even just the basic NTFS permissions are more granular than share permissions.
