CompTIA 220-1102 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 261:

  A technician is helping a customer connect to a shared drive. The technician notices some unused drives that have already been mapped and wants to disconnect those drives first. Which of the following commands should the technician use?

  A. format
  B. netstat
  C. diskpart
  D. net use
  E. rmdir
  D. net use

  ---

  Explanation

  The net use (Option D) command is used to manage network drives in Windows. It can be used to display and disconnect mapped network drives, making it the correct choice for removing unused network drives. format (Option A) is used to

  format disks, not for managing network drives. netstat (Option B) displays network connections but doesn't manage network drives. diskpart (Option C) is used for disk partitioning, not network drive management. rmdir (Option E) is used to

  remove directories, not network drives.

• Question 262:

  A Linux technician needs a filesystem type that meets the following requirements:

  All changes are tracked.

  The possibility of file corruption is reduced.

  Data recovery is easy.

  Which of the following filesystem types best meets these requirements?

  A. ext3
  B. FAT32
  C. exFAT
  D. NTFS
  A. ext3

  ---

  Explanation

  The ext3 file system is a Linux native file system that meets the requirements of the question.

  It has the following features:

  All changes are tracked. The ext3 file system uses a journaling mechanism that records all changes to the file system metadata in a special log called the journal before applying them to the actual file system. This ensures that the file system

  can be restored to a consistent state in case of a power failure or system crash12. The possibility of file corruption is reduced. The journaling feature of ext3 also reduces the possibility of file corruption, as it avoids the need for a full file

  system check after an unclean shutdown. The file system can be quickly replayed from the journal and any inconsistencies can be fixed12. Data recovery is easy. The ext3 file system supports undeletion of files using tools such as ext3grep

  or extundelete, which can scan the file system for deleted inodes and attempt to recover the data blocks associated with them34.

• Question 263:

  A technician wants to improve password security after several users admitted to using very simple passwords. Which of the following is the best way to resolve this issue?

  A. Requiring four character types
  B. Decreasing the password expiration times
  C. Enabling an automatic lock timer
  D. Adding two characters to the minimum password length
  A. Requiring four character types

  ---

  Explanation

  Improving password security is crucial to protect user accounts from unauthorized access. Requiring passwords to include four character types--uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters--significantly enhances password complexity. This diversity in characters makes passwords much harder to guess or crack using common methods like brute force attacks, thereby improving overall security. Requiring four character types: This approach forces users to create more complex and less predictable passwords, reducing the risk of simple passwords that are easy to exploit. Decreasing the password expiration times (B) can encourage users to change their passwords more frequently but does not directly address the issue of password complexity. Enabling an automatic lock timer (C) can add a layer of security by locking accounts after a period of inactivity, but it does not improve the strength of the passwords themselves. Adding two characters to the minimum password length (D) can help to some extent by making passwords longer, but without requiring a mix of character types, passwords might still remain relatively easy to guess or crack.

• Question 264:

  An administrator is designing and implementing a server backup system that minimizes the capacity of storage used. Which of the following is the best backup approach to use in conjunction with synthetic full backups?

  A. Differential
  B. Open file
  C. Archive
  D. Incremental
  D. Incremental

  ---

  Explanation

  Incremental backups require less storage space.

  Differential backups take more storage space as time from the last full backup increases. A differential backup strategy aims to reduce restore time by trading off on storage space.

• Question 265:

  A developer is creating a shell script to automate basic tasks in Linux. Which of the following file types are supported by default?

  A. .py
  B. .js
  C. .vbs
  D. .sh
  D. .sh

• Question 266:

  A new service desk is having a difficult time managing the volume of requests. Which of the following is the BEST solution for the department?

  A. Implementing a support portal
  B. Creating a ticketing system
  C. Commissioning an automated callback system
  D. Submitting tickets through email
  A. Implementing a support portal

  ---

  Explanation

  A support portal is an online system that allows customers to access customer service tools, submit requests and view status updates, as well as access information such as how-to guides, FAQs, and other self-service resources. This would be the best solution for the service desk, as it would allow them to easily manage the volume of requests by allowing customers to submit their own requests and view the status of their requests. Additionally, the portal would provide customers with self-service resources that can help them resolve their own issues, reducing the amount of tickets that need to be handled by the service desk.

• Question 267:

  A technician is installing RAM in a new workstation and needs to protect against electrostatic discharge. Which of the following will best resolve this concern?

  A. Battery backup
  B. Thermal paste
  C. ESD strap
  D. Consistent power
  C. ESD strap

• Question 270:

  SIMULATION

  A technician has installed two new drives in one of the computers in the computer lab. Disk1 will be utilized for user and application data. Disk 2 has already been properly configured and has production data on in. The technician has been unable to format the appropriate disk from the command prompt.

  The lab requires that Disk1 be a dynamic disk configured with two partitions. The first partition must be 256,000 MB in size and mapped to drive

  F. The second partition must be 512,000 MB in size and mapped to drive

  G. The new partitions must be formatted to ensure that user's files can be secured from other users and that the disk must be configured to account for future redundancy.

  Make sure to maintain a consistent file system.

  INSTRUCTIONS:

  Conduct the necessary steps within the Disk Manager to accomplish these tasks.

  If at any time you would like to bring back the initial state of the simulation, please click the Reset All button.
