   Which of the following load-balancing methods would be BEST described as each connection selecting the next path?

   • ALeast connection
   • BSource hashed
   • CMost recently used
   • DRound robin

   Show answer

   Answer: D

   Explanation

   Round robin - Assigns connections in order Most recently used (MRU) - Attempts to use existing machines for the workload but can spin up new VMs if needed Weighted scheduling - Used when the server's hardware capabilities vary, allocating more connections to the more powerful servers The Official CompTIA Server+ Study Guide (Exam SK0-005) page 244.

   Which of the following should be configured in pairs on a server to provide network redundancy?

   • AMRU
   • BSCP
   • CDLP
   • DCPU
   • ENIC

   Show answer

   Answer: E

   Explanation

   The network component that should be configured in pairs on a server to provide network redundancy is the NIC (Network Interface Card). NIC redundancy can be achieved by installing two NICs on a server and configuring them in a team or bond. This allows for the NICs to work in tandem and provide redundancy in case one of the NICs fails or experiences issues. If one NIC fails, the other NIC can continue to handle the network traffic, which helps to ensure that the server remains connected to the network and available. While other components listed may have redundancy options or configurations, they do not provide network redundancy in pairs on a server. MRU (Maximum Receive Unit) is a networking term that refers to the largest size of a packet that can be received on a network interface. SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) is a protocol used for securely transferring files between systems. DLP (Data Loss Prevention) is a strategy or technology used to prevent the loss or theft of sensitive data. CPU (Central Processing Unit) is a hardware component that processes instructions in a computer.

   A server administrator is using remote access to update a server. The administrator notices numerous error messages when using YUM to update the applications on a server. Which of the following should the administrator check FIRST?

   • ANetwork connectivity on the server
   • BLVM status on the server
   • CDisk space in the /var directory
   • DYUM dependencies

   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   Wouldn't the Tech already have network connectivity via remote connection? So if he's already connected to the server remotely then he has network connectivity. Now I would check Dependencies issues with YUM. Just thinking outload.

5. Question 75 · 371 in bank

   An administrator has set up a GPO to disable USB drive access on a company’s servers. The GPO is set up as a computer configuration policy and does not use security groups filtering. The administrator is testing to ensure the policy is working correctly. A server in the accounting OU works as expected, but a server in the sales OU is still allowing access to USB drives. The administrator runs the gpupdate /force command and tries again; however, the server still allows access to the USB drive. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

   • AThe WMI filter is not configured properly.
   • BItem-level targeting is not configured properly.
   • CThe scope is not configured properly.
   • DLoopback processing is not configured properly.

   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   The MOST likely cause of the issue is that C. The scope is not configured properly. The GPO may not be linked to the sales OU or there may be another GPO with higher precedence that is overriding the settings. The administrator should check the Group Policy Management console to ensure that the GPO is linked to the sales OU and that there are no conflicting GPOs with higher precedence.

   Select 2

   Users report they are unable to access an application after a recent third-party patch update. The physical server that is hosting the application keeps crashing on reboot. Although the update was installed directly from the manufacturer’s support website as recommended, it has now been recalled and removed from the website, as the update unintentionally installed unauthorized software after a reboot. Which of the following steps should the administrator perform to restore access to the application while minimizing downtime? (Choose two.)

   • AUninstall recent updates.
   • BReimage the server with a different OS.
   • CRun a port scan to verify open ports.
   • DEnable a GPO to uninstall the update.
   • EScan and remove any malware.
   • FReformat the server and restore the image from the latest backup.

   Show answer

   Answer: AE

   Explanation

   A. Uninstall recent updates. E. Scan and remove any malware. The first step the administrator should take is to uninstall the recent update, as it is causing the server to crash and preventing access to the application. This will help to restore access to the application without any further downtime. In addition, the administrator should also scan and remove any malware that may have been inadvertently installed as a result of the unauthorized software that was installed by the recent update. This will help to ensure that the server is secure and prevent any future issues. Options B, C, D, and F are not necessary or recommended for this situation. Reimaging the server with a different OS or reformatting the server and restoring from backup would result in significant downtime and may not address the root cause of the issue. Running a port scan and enabling a GPO to uninstall the update are not necessary for resolving this issue.

8. Question 78 · 371 in bank

   An administrator is only able to log on to a server with a local account. The server has been successfully joined to the domain and can ping other servers by IP address. Which of the following locally defined settings is MOST likely misconfigured?

   • ADHCP
   • BWINS
   • CDNS
   • DTCP

   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   C. DNS Since the administrator is only able to log on to the server with a local account, it is likely that the server is having difficulty resolving domain names to IP addresses. This suggests that there may be a misconfiguration in the Domain Name System (DNS) settings on the server. DNS is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses, which allows computers to locate resources on the network. If the DNS settings on the server are incorrect, the server may not be able to locate domain resources, including domain controllers, which would prevent the administrator from logging on with a domain account. DHCP (A) is responsible for assigning IP addresses to devices on the network, and WINS (B) is an older technology used to resolve NetBIOS names to IP addresses. Neither of these services are directly related to logging on to a server with a domain account. TCP (D) is a protocol used to establish connections between devices on a network, and is not likely to be the source of the issue in this scenario.
