A technician accessed a network share from a computer joined to workgroup.
The technician logged in as 'user1' and directed the computer to save the username and password.
Several weeks later, the technician wants to log in to this network share using the administrator account.
The computer does not prompt for a username and password, but it automatically logs in to the network share under the 'user1' account.
Which of the following would allow the technician to log in using the 'administrator' username?

A. B. C. D. E.A.
When the technician initially accessed the network share from the computer joined to a workgroup, they logged in using the user1 account and directed the computer to save the username and password. This allowed the computer to automatically log in to the network share using the saved credentials of user1. Now the technician wants to log in to the same network share using the administrator account, but the computer is not prompting for a new username and password and automatically logs in as user1. To allow the technician to log in using the administrator account, the following solutions can be applied:
A. Use the command: net use Z: \fileserver\share This command creates a persistent network connection to a shared resource, such as a network share. However, it does not provide an option to specify the username and password for the connection. Therefore, this option would not be effective in allowing the technician to log in using the administrator account.
B. Go to the Sync Center and disable the offline files feature. The Sync Center is a feature in Windows that allows users to synchronize files between a computer and a network location. Disabling the offline files feature will not help the technician to log in using the administrator account, as it does not affect the saved credentials or the automatic log in to the network share.
C. Delete the user account for the network share in Credential Manager. Windows Credential Manager is a feature that stores user credentials such as usernames and passwords. Deleting the user account for the network share in Credential Manager will remove the saved credentials for the user1 account. This will prompt the computer to request new login credentials the next time the technician tries to access the network share, allowing them to log in using the administrator account.
D. Join the computer and file server to a domain and delegate administrator rights to user1. Joining the computer and file server to a domain would create a centralized system for managing user accounts and access permissions. By delegating administrator rights to user1, the technician can access the network share using the user1 account and also have administrative access to the file server. However, this solution requires a domain infrastructure and is not applicable if the computer and file server are in a workgroup.
E. Use the Advanced Sharing options in the Network and Sharing Center and enable turn on network discovery. The Advanced Sharing options in the Network and Sharing Center can be used to configure sharing settings for network resources, such as network shares. However, turning on network discovery would not allow the technician to log in using the administrator account, as it does not affect the saved credentials or the automatic log in to the network share.
Therefore, the correct option in this scenario would be C. Delete the user account for the network share in Credential Manager, which would prompt the computer to request new login credentials and allow the technician to log in using the administrator account.
