A Windows user has been successfully saving documents to the file server all morning. However, the latest attempt resulted in the following message, "Could not find this item. Verify the location of '//FileServer/Docs' and try again."

Which of the following is the most likely cause for this message?

a. The user's PC is out of local hard disk space.

b. The file server could not contact directory services.

c. The share to the file server is disconnected.

d. The user signed out of directory services

c. The share to the file server is disconnected.

Explanation:

Sharing a file to the file server is the same as saving the document to the file server as the most important function of file server is storage. Therefore if one is getting an error message of not being able to find the saved file and to verify the location of '//FileServer/Docs', it means that the saved files are no longer available anywhere on the server and even in the computer of the user.

c. The share to the file server is disconnected.

Explanation:

A file server is responsible for storing and retrieving of files used by all other computers that are connected to it via a network. The file sharing protocol that are commonly use to access file servers on a local area network (LAN) could be Server Message Block or Common Internet File System.

The messages implies that the network access protocol to the file server has been disconnected, hence the reason the file server could not be accessed.
