• Question 517:

  An IT security team is implementing a new Group Policy that will return a computer to the login after three minutes. Which of the following BEST describes the change in policy?

  A. Login times
  B. Screen lock
  C. User permission
  D. Login lockout attempts
  B. Screen lock

  ---

  Explanation

  Screen lock is a feature that returns a computer to the login screen after a period of inactivity, requiring the user to enter their credentials to resume their session. Screen lock can be configured using Group Policy settings, such as Screen saver timeout and Interactive logon: Machine inactivity limit. Screen lock can help prevent unauthorized access to a computer when the user is away from their desk. Login times are not a feature that returns a computer to the login screen, but a measure of how long it takes for a user to log in to a system. User permission is not a feature that returns a computer to the login screen, but a set of rights and privileges that determine what a user can do on a system. Login lockout attempts are not a feature that returns a computer to the login screen, but a security policy that locks out a user account after a number of failed login attempts. https://woshub.com/windows-lock-screen-after-idle-via-gpo/

The other commands are not relevant for this task. c: \minutes is not a command but a path to a folder. dir is used to display a list of files and folders in the current directory. rmdir is used to remove or delete an existing directory or folder.

• Question 520:

  A technician downloaded a software program to a network share. When the technician attempts to copy the program to the Windows tablet for installation, the technician receives an error. Which of the following is the best procedure for the technician to use to complete the assignment?

  A. Copy the program file to a USB drive and install.
  B. Burn the program file to a CD and install.
  C. Format the HDD and then do the installation.
  D. Replace the HDD and then do the installation.
  A. Copy the program file to a USB drive and install.

  ---

  Explanation

  Copying the program file to a USB drive and installing it from there is the simplest and most reliable way to transfer the software from the network share to the Windows tablet. The other options are either unnecessary, risky, or impractical. Burning the program file to a CD requires a CD burner and a CD reader, which may not be available on the tablet. Formatting or replacing the HDD will erase all the data and settings on the tablet, which is not advisable unless there is a backup or a serious problem. Moreover, formatting or replacing the HDD will not solve the issue of copying the program file from the network share.
