• Question 762:

  Following a scheduled power outage, users report they cannot access the local intranet. A technician is able to ping the IP address of the server that is hosting the website. Which of the following serves is MOST likely offline?

  A. Web
  B. DNS
  C. File
  D. DHCP
  B. DNS

  ---

  Explanation

  DNS stands for Domain Name System and is a service that translates domain names (such as www.example.com) into IP addresses (such as 192.168.1.100) that computers can use to communicate over a network. If the DNS server is

  offline, users may not be able to access websites or other network resources by using their domain names, even if they are online and reachable by their IP addresses. The technician should check if the DNS server is running and configured

  correctly, or use an alternative DNS server if possible.

• Question 763:

  A user needs a technician's help connecting a laptop to a projector The projector is old and only has analog input. Which of the following cable types should the technician use to connect the laptop to the proJector?

  A. HDMI
  B. RS-232
  C. VGA
  D. DisplayPort
  C. VGA

  ---

  Explanation

  VGA stands for Video Graphics Array, and it is a type of cable that can be used to transmit analog video signals between devices, such as laptops, monitors, or projectors. VGA cables have 15 pins arranged in three rows, and they are usually color-coded blue. VGA cables can support resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 pixels, but they have low quality and limited color depth compared to modern digital standards such as HDMI or DisplayPort . A projector is a device that projects an image or a video onto a large surface, such as a wall or a screen. A projector can have different types of input ports, such as VGA, HDMI, DVI, or USB. A projector can also have different types of output technologies, such as LCD, DLP, or LED . In this scenario, the user needs a technician's help connecting a laptop to a projector. The projector is old and only has analog input. This means that the projector can only accept analog video signals, and not digital ones. Therefore, the technician should use a VGA cable to connect the laptop to the projector, as it is the most common type of analog video cable. The technician should also make sure that the laptop and the projector have compatible VGA ports, and that the laptop's display settings are adjusted to match the projector's resolution and aspect ratio.

• Question 764:

  A user uploads a file to a storage location that is accessible via a web browser and a client application. The user's coworkers can access the file as well. The service that the file is stored with is provided by a third party for a monthly fee. The third party's service is available to any business or consumer who would like to use the service. Which of the following BEST describes the type of service that is in use?

  A. Hybrid cloud
  B. Infrastructure as a service
  C. Public cloud
  D. Private cloud
  C. Public cloud

  ---

  Explanation

  A public cloud is a cloud computing model that provides services and resources to anyone over the internet. The service that the user uploads a file to is an example of a public cloud service, as it is accessible via a web browser and a client application, allows multiple users to access the file, and is provided by a third party for a monthly fee. A hybrid cloud is a combination of public and private cloud services that share data and resources. Infrastructure as a service is a cloud computing model that provides servers, storage, networking, and software over the internet. Private cloud is a cloud computing model that provides services and resources to a specific organization or group over a private network

• Question 765:

  A desktop support technician is building a new desktop that features the fastest internal storage. Which of the following BEST suits this request1?

  A. SATASSD
  B. SATA HDD
  C. M2PCIeNVMeSSD
  D. PCIe SATA HDD
  C. M2PCIeNVMeSSD

  ---

  Explanation

  M2PCIeNVMeSSD. M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs are the fastest internal storage devices available for desktops. They are faster than SATA SSDs and PCIe SATA HDDs12.

• Question 766:

  A user's laptop has been slow to respond for the past few days. The user has run a virus scan, deleted temporary files, closed unnecessary programs, and rebooted the laptop, but the issue persists. Which of the following steps should the technician take next?

  A. Perform a RAM upgrade.
  B. Replace the laptop's hard drive.
  C. Bench test the laptop.
  D. Run a firmware update.
  C. Bench test the laptop.

  ---

  Explanation

  Bench testing involves running diagnostics and performance tests on the laptop to identify potential hardware or software issues that may be contributing to the slow performance.

• Question 767:

  A startup company is outgrowing its current office space and is requiring employees to work remotely. The company must comply with government-enforced requirements to safeguard all aspects of data, so the IT department plans to maintain complete control over users' operating systems. Which of the following should the IT department implement?

  A. VDI
  B. laaS
  C. VPN
  D. SaaS
  A. VDI

  ---

  Explanation

  The IT department should implement VDI. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a technology that allows users to access a desktop operating system from a remote location. VDI provides complete control over users' operating systems, which is important for safeguarding data. VDI also provides a secure way to access data from remote locations, which is important for compliance with government-enforced requirements1.

• Question 768:

  Each floor at a new corporate facility will have four printers available for all users to print from. All of the printers will be connected with RJ45 and will not be joined to a domain.

  Which of the following needs to be set up to accomplish this task? (Select two).

  A. Printer shares
  B. DHCP server
  C. Print server
  D. Printer subnet
  E. SMB configuration
  F. Printer Wi-Fi settings
  A. Printer shares
  C. Print server

  ---

  Explanation

  To allow multiple users to print to networked printers:

  Printer shares enable users to access printers shared on the network. Print servers manage print jobs and provide centralized control of printing.

  Why Not B (DHCP server): DHCP is unrelated to print management.

  Why Not D (Printer subnet): Subnets group devices but don't manage printing.

  Why Not E (SMB configuration): SMB is for file sharing, not specifically print management.

  Why Not F (Printer Wi-Fi settings): These settings are irrelevant since the printers use Ethernet.

  Core 2 (220-1102), Section 4.6, printer configuration.

• Question 769:

  A technician is installing an SSD in a laptop. Which of the following components should the technician locate to complete the installation?

  A. M.2 slot
  B. IDE cable
  C. Hard drive enclosure
  D. DIMM slot
  A. M.2 slot

  ---

  Explanation

  When installing an SSD in a laptop, the technician should locate the M.2 slot. This slot is specifically designed to accommodate M.2 SSDs, allowing for easy installation and secure connection. Other options listed, such as the IDE cable (commonly used with traditional hard drives), hard drive enclosure (used for external hard drives), and DIMM slot (used for RAM modules), are not relevant for installing an SSD in a laptop.
