A technician needs to deploy an operating system that would optimize server resources. Which of the following server installation methods would BEST meet this requirement?
Answer: C
I believe C is correct. I researched this quite a bit. Then in the book "All-In-One Comptia Server+ Certification" Exam Guide, on page 94 I found what they (CompTia) are looking for. They referred to Server Installation "Methods" and listed "Core" (as well as GUI). Obviously, Core will take less resources. "Bare Metal" is used for better performance and having direct access to the hardware (as you do not share it with other clients). Also (fyi) a Bare Metal Hypervisor is a Bare Metal server but with a Hypervisor installed which also restricts some access to direct hardware (type1 vs type2). Info on that can be found here "https://phoenixnap.com/blog/what-is-bare-metal-server" I do not believe "Bare Metal" is considered a "method" for installing an OS.

A company's IDS has identified outbound traffic from one of the web servers coming over port 389 to an outside address. This server only hosts websites. The company's SOC administrator has asked a technician to harden this server. Which of the following would be the BEST way to complete this request?
Answer: A
For this, sense this only needs web traffic hosted, only port 80 & 443 need to be open, port 389 can be closed... I would just disable it. The better answer would be a more specific firewall rule set, but given the options, I would choose A.

A technician is connecting a server's secondary NIC to a separate network. The technician connects the cable to the switch but then does not see any link lights on the NIC. The technician confirms there is nothing wrong on the network or with the physical connection. Which of the following should the technician perform NEXT?
Answer: C
C looks correct. If you disable your NIC or uninstall it (or if it is corrupted), I believe the light will go out (if you had it on prior). Restarting (A) is part of troubleshooting, B&C would not cause the light to not come on.

Network connectivity to a server was lost when it was pulled from the rack during maintenance. Which of the following should the server administrator use to prevent this situation in the future?
Answer: A
From my experience, rail-kits refers to the two steel bars that you use to install then move the server in and out, but it doesn't have anything to do with the cables. A cable management arm is specifically what you would use if you want to extend the server out of the rack without removing cables. So I choose "Cable management".
