Which of the following access control methodologies can be described BEST as allowing a user the least access based on the jobs the user needs to perform?
Answer: B
A datacenter technician is attempting to troubleshoot a server that keeps crashing. The server runs normally for approximately five minutes, but then it crashes. After restoring the server to operation, the same cycle repeats. The technician confirms none of the configurations have changed, and the load on the server is steady from power-on until the crash. Which of the following will MOST likely resolve the issue?
Answer: C
A server administrator is exporting Windows system files before patching and saving them to the following location: \\server1\ITDept\ Which of the following is a storage protocol that the administrator is MOST likely using to save this data?
Answer: C
C. CIFS The provided location (\\server1\ITDept\) is a UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path, which is commonly used with the CIFS (Common Internet File System) protocol. CIFS is a network file-sharing protocol and is the standard way that Windows computers share files with other devices on a network.

A server technician has received reports of database update errors. The technician checks the server logs and determines the database is experiencing synchronization errors. To attempt to correct the errors, the technician should FIRST ensure:
Answer: C
A technician is connecting a Linux server to a share on a NAS. Which of the following is the MOST appropriate native protocol to use for this task?
Answer: D
The answer is D. Network File System (NFS) NFS is one of the protocols that can be used to connect to and share data on a NAS device. Network File System (NFS) is a client/server file-sharing protocol used in Unix/Linux. Version 4 is the most current version of NFS. It operates over TCP port 2049. Secure NFS (SNFS) offers confidentiality using Digital Encryption Standard (DES). Common Internet File System (CIFS) Server Message Block (SMB) is an application layer protocol used to provide shared access to resources. The Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol is a dialect of SMB. It is primarily used in Windows systems. The latest version is 3.1.1, which was released to support Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016. It operates as a client-server application. It uses port 445.

A server in a remote datacenter is no longer responsive. Which of the following is the BEST solution to investigate this failure?
Answer: C
Out-of-band administration provides hardware-level remote access to a host without relying on the OS software running. Common solutions include Dell’s iDRAC and HP’s iLO; the server hardware must support this type of remote administration, and it must be configured with IP settings.

A server is reporting a hard drive S.M.A.R.T. error. When a technician checks on the drive, however, it appears that all drives in the server are functioning normally. Which of the following is the reason for this issue?
Answer: A
Correct answer is A" Predictive Failures Some issues will issue a warning that a failure is in the future. An example of such a device is a hard drive that has support for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART). This technology is built into most drives to determine if the device is still physically healthy or failing due to hardware issues.

An administrator needs to perform bare-metal maintenance on a server in a remote datacenter. Which of the following should the administrator use to access the server's console?
Answer: A
I disagree. If a system is bare metal, there is no way to access the BIOS and Hardware without a crash cart, KVM, console, or remote management (iLO, etc). Since only one of those options (ip KVM or iLO) can be done remotely, that would be the correct answer. RDP would allow you to manage the operating system running on the server, but not the bare metal system itself.

A server administrator has been creating new VMs one by one. The administrator notices the system requirements are very similar, even with different applications. Which of the following would help the administrator accomplish this task in the SHORTEST amount of time and meet the system requirements?
Answer: D
TEMPLATE DEPLOYMENT A clone is an exact image of a system. VM clones are not suited for mass deployment of virtual machines A template is a more generalized image that is intended for multiple uses. Templates act as a baseline image for a VM. While cloned systems can be turned on, templates cannot. They are used for deployment only.

Which of the following steps in the troubleshooting theory should be performed after a solution has been implemented? (Choose two.)
Answer: AC
I also thought the answers were A and C, but from CompTIA: https://www.comptia.org/blog/troubleshooting-methodology 1. Identify the problem 2. Establish a theory of probable cause 3. Test the theory to determine the cause 4. Establish a plan of action to resolve the problem and implement the solution 5. Verify full system functionality, and, if applicable, implement preventive measures 6. Document findings, actions and outcomes Root cause should be identified in step #3, and you can't do step #5 where you implement preventive measures without knowing root cause. However, in the real world, cause isn't necessarily root cause. Cause, in most cases, is be a byproduct of root cause. What you implement to fix the problem isn't always the same root issue that caused the problem. I've been in IT for over 30 years and I've seen many-a-cases where root cause is different than the byproduct issue that the user was dealing with. But we have to think like CompTIA and stick to their theory to the T.
