Why can't home shares be configured in a new Files 3.5 deployment?

1. The system is configured as a standalone FSVM

2. NFS default access settings allow only Read Only

3. Multi-protocol access is not established

4. Access Based Enumeration is deactivated

The correct answer is: The system is configured as a standalone FSVM

In a new Files 3.5 deployment, home shares cannot be configured if the system is set up as a standalone FSVM (File Storage Virtual Machine). A standalone FSVM does not have the capabilities required to manage home shares effectively, as these shares typically require a more complex setup that involves integration with a domain controller or a dedicated cluster environment. Home shares are meant to be personalized spaces for users, allowing them to store specific data securely. Without the proper configuration involving a clustered or multi-VM setup, the system cannot support the necessary functionalities that home shares depend on. The other options touch on settings and configurations that may impact file sharing but do not directly address the core capability of managing home shares in a standalone setup. For example, while multi-protocol access is important for supporting various file sharing protocols, it is not the defining factor that prevents the configuration of home shares in the context of a standalone FSVM.
