A server administrator made a change in a server’s BIOS in an attempt to fix an issue with the OS not turning on. However, the change did not successfully correct the issue. Which of the following should the server administrator do NEXT?
Answer: C
Which of the following BEST describes a guarantee of the amount of time it will take to restore a downed service?
Answer: A
The guarantee of the amount of time it will take to restore a downed service is typically referred to as the "RTO" or "Recovery Time Objective." RTO is the amount of time within which a system, application, or service must be restored after a disruption in order to avoid unacceptable consequences associated with a break in business continuity. Option A, RTO, is the correct answer. Option B, SLA (Service Level Agreement), is an agreement between a service provider and its customers that defines the level of service, availability, and other aspects of the service that the provider agrees to deliver. Option C, MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), is the average time that elapses between failures of a system, component, or product. Option D, MTTR (Mean Time To Repair), is the average time it takes to repair a system, component, or product after a failure has occurred.

An administrator is investigating several unexpected documents and video files that recently appeared in a network share. The administrator checks the properties of the files and sees the author’s name on the documents is not a company employee. The administrator questions the other users, but no one knows anything about the files. The administrator then checks the log files and discovers the FTP protocol was used to copy the files to the server. Which of the following needs to be done to prevent this from happening again?
Answer: D
D. Disable anonymous access. The fact that the FTP protocol was used to copy the files to the server suggests that the network share has anonymous access enabled. Disabling anonymous access would require users to authenticate before accessing the share, which would prevent unauthorized access and file transfers from external sources. Data loss prevention (A) and intrusion detection (B) are both important security measures, but they may not necessarily prevent unauthorized access to a network share. User Account Control (C) is a feature in Windows that helps prevent unauthorized changes to a computer, but it is not directly related to preventing unauthorized access to a network share. Therefore, the best option in this scenario would be to disable anonymous access.

Which of the following is the MOST appropriate scripting language to use for a logon script for a Linux box?
Answer: B
The question is: Which of the following is the MOST appropriate scripting language to use for a logon script for a Linux box? The answer shows A: VBS The link below goes to a site about Active Directory information. I believe the answer is wrong and should be Shell since VBS is a Microsoft based script. Can this answer be verified?

A junior administrator needs to configure a single RAID 5 volume out of four 200GB drives attached to the server using the maximum possible capacity. Upon completion, the server reports that all drives were used, and the approximate volume size is 400GB. Which of the following BEST describes the result of this configuration?
Answer: D
INCORRECT: A. RAID 0 was configured by mistake. (RAID 0 would yield 4 drives x 200GB = 800GB) INCORRECT: B. RAID 5 was configured properly. (RAID 5 would yield 1 drive for parity overhead and 3 drives x 200GB = 600GB) INCORRECT: C. JBOD was configured by mistake. (JBOD [just a bunch of disks] would yield 4 drives x 200GB = 800GB) CORRECT: D. RAID 10 was configured by mistake. (RAID 10 would yield 2 mirrored sets of 2 drives x 200GB = 400GB)

A backup application is copying only changed files each time it runs. During a restore, however, only a single file is used. Which of the following backup methods does this describe?
Answer: B
A very old PC is running a critical, proprietary application in MS-DOS. Administrators are concerned about the stability of this computer. Installation media has been lost, and the vendor is out of business. Which of the following would be the BEST course of action to preserve business continuity?
Answer: B
While it may be difficult to purchase matching equipment, that is the "best" option presented here. Performing scheduled chkdsk will only let you know if an issue is happening, not help mitigate it. That said, tomf is correct, in a real world application, the company would want to transition to a more modern option to ensure minimal disruption when that legacy hardware inevitably stops working.

An administrator is troubleshooting a RAID issue in a failed server. The server reported a drive failure, and then it crashed and would no longer turn on. There are two arrays on the failed server: a two-drive RAID 0 set for the OS, and an eight-drive RAID 10 set for data. Which of the following failure scenarios MOST likely occurred?
Answer: A
A security manager is concerned that a rogue employee could boot a server from an outside USB drive. Which of the following actions can be taken to reduce this risk? (Choose two.)
Answer: BC
The two actions that can be taken to reduce the risk of a rogue employee booting a server from an outside USB drive are: B. Disable unneeded physical ports: By disabling physical ports such as USB ports, the ability of a rogue employee to boot a server from an outside USB drive can be significantly reduced. C. Set a BIOS password: Setting a BIOS password can prevent unauthorized access to the BIOS and boot options, which can help prevent a rogue employee from booting the server from an outside USB drive. Note that while the other options listed (A, D, E, and F) may be useful security measures, they do not directly address the specific risk of a rogue employee booting a server from an outside USB drive.

A server administrator is setting up a new payroll application. Compliance regulations require that all financial systems logs be stored in a central location. Which of the following should the administrator configure to ensure this requirement is met?
Answer: C
The administrator should configure log shipping to ensure compliance with the regulation. Log shipping is the process of automatically transferring log files from one location to another, typically from a remote server or device to a central log storage location. This ensures that all log files are stored in a central location, which is a requirement in this case. Alerting refers to sending notifications when specific events or conditions occur, but it does not relate to storing logs in a central location. Retention refers to how long log files are kept before they are deleted, which is important for compliance and audit purposes, but it does not directly address the requirement to store logs in a central location. Rotation refers to the practice of moving older log files to an archive location or deleting them, typically to free up space on the server, and does not address the requirement to store logs in a central location.
