• Question 612:

  Which of the following operating systems were designed for smartphones? (Select two).

  A. Ubuntu
  B. CentOS
  C. macOS
  D. Chrome OS
  E. iOS
  F. Android
  E. iOS
  F. Android

  ---

  Explanation

  The operating systems designed for smartphones include iOS and Android. iOS is developed by Apple Inc. for its iPhone range, while Android, developed by Google, is used across a variety of devices from different manufacturers. Both operating systems are specifically tailored to provide a mobile computing experience, with interfaces, applications, and functionalities designed for touchscreen input and mobile hardware.

• Question 613:

  A technician needs to configure a computer for a user to work from home so the user can still securely access the user's shared files and corporate email. Which of the following tools would best accomplish this task*?

  A. MSRA
  B. FTP
  C. RMM
  D. VPN
  D. VPN

  ---

  Explanation

  A Virtual Private Network (VPN) creates a secure connection over the internet to a network, allowing a user to access shared files and corporate email as if they were directly connected to the network. This makes VPN the best tool for secure remote work access, compared to the other options which do not offer the same level of secure, remote network access.

• Question 614:

  After a user upgraded the Windows operating system to the latest feature release, the user notices that one of the legacy applications that was running correctly before the upgrade does not open some windows and is only partially functional.

  Which of the following actions should the user take to troubleshoot the issue?

  A. Run the application as Administrator.
  B. Raise the User Account Control level.
  C. Turn off Windows Defender Firewall.
  D. Disable compatibility mode for the application.
  A. Run the application as Administrator.

  ---

  Explanation

  When a legacy application is not fully functional after upgrading the Windows operating system, the first step to troubleshoot the issue is to:

  Run the application as Administrator: Legacy applications often require administrative privileges to run correctly. Running the application with these privileges can resolve issues related to permissions and access to certain system resources.

  Raise the User Account Control level: This increases security prompts but does not resolve compatibility issues.

  Turn off Windows Defender Firewall: This can expose the system to security risks and is unlikely to resolve application functionality issues. Disable compatibility mode for the application: Compatibility mode should generally be enabled for

  legacy applications to ensure they run properly on newer OS versions.

• Question 615:

  A technician is configuring a SOHO router and wants to only allow specific computers on the network. Which of the following should the technician do?

  A. Configure MAC filtering.
  B. Disable DHCP.
  C. Configure port forwarding.
  D. Disable guest access.
  A. Configure MAC filtering.

  ---

  Explanation

  For a SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) router setup where the goal is to only allow specific computers on the network, MAC filtering is the appropriate solution:

  Configure MAC filtering: This security measure involves creating a list of allowed device MAC (Media Access Control) addresses in the router's settings. Only devices with MAC addresses on this list will be able to connect to the network,

  effectively restricting access to authorized computers only.

• Question 616:

  A technician needs to formal a USB drive to transfer 20GB of data from a Linux computer to a Windows computer. Which of the following filesystems will the technician MOST likely use?

  A. FAT32
  B. ext4
  C. NTFS
  D. exFAT
  D. exFAT

  ---

  Explanation

  To transfer 20GB of data from a Linux computer to a Windows computer, the technician will most likely use the exFAT filesystem on the USB drive. While FAT32 is a common choice for USB drives, it has a maximum file size limit of 4GB, which would not be suitable for transferring a 20GB file. NTFS is another option, but it is not natively supported by Linux systems, so the technician may need to install additional software or drivers on the Linux computer to access the NTFS-formatted USB drive. The ext4 filesystem is commonly used on Linux systems, but it is not compatible with Windows without the installation of third-party software. ExFAT, on the other hand, is supported natively by both Linux and Windows, has a large file size limit, and is suitable for transferring large files between the two operating systems.

• Question 617:

  A user tries to access commonly used web pages but is redirected to unexpected websites. Clearing the web browser cache does not resolve the issue. Which of the following should a technician investigate NEXT to resolve the issue?

  A. Enable firewall ACLs.
  B. Examine the localhost file entries.
  C. Verify the routing tables.
  D. Update the antivirus definitions.
  B. Examine the localhost file entries.

  ---

  Explanation

  A possible cause of the user being redirected to unexpected websites is that the localhost file entries have been modified by malware or hackers to point to malicious or unwanted websites. The localhost file is a text file that maps hostnames to IP addresses and can override DNS settings. By examining the localhost file entries, a technician can identify and remove any suspicious or unauthorized entries that may cause the redirection issue. Enabling firewall ACLs may not resolve the issue if the firewall rules do not block the malicious or unwanted websites. Verifying the routing tables may not resolve the issue if the routing configuration is correct and does not affect the web traffic. Updating the antivirus definitions may help prevent future infections but may not remove the existing malware or changes to the localhost file.

• Question 618:

  An employee using an Apple MacBook is receiving frequent, random pop-up requests from other Apple devices wanting to share photos and videos and asking whether the user would like to accept the request Which of the following configurations should the technician advise the user to change first"?

  A. Wi-Fi
  B. iCloud
  C. Antivirus
  D. AirDrop
  D. AirDrop

  ---

  Explanation

  AirDrop is a feature on Apple devices that allows users to wirelessly share files, photos, and videos with nearby Apple devices. If the MacBook is receiving unsolicited AirDrop requests, adjusting the AirDrop settings to allow sharing with contacts only or turning it off completely can help prevent these random pop-up requests.

• Question 619:

  A neighbor successfully connected to a user's Wi-Fi network. Which of the following should the user do after changing the network configuration to prevent the neighbor from being able to connect again?

  A. Disable the SSID broadcast.
  B. Disable encryption settings.
  C. Disable DHCP reservations.
  D. Disable logging.
  A. Disable the SSID broadcast.

  ---

  Explanation

  A. Disable the SSID broadcast: The SSID broadcast is a feature that allows a Wi-Fi network to be visible to nearby devices. Disabling the SSID broadcast can make the network harder to find by unauthorized users, but it does not prevent them from accessing it if they know the network name and password.

  Which of the following macOS features provides the user with a high-level view of all open windows?

  A. Mission Control
  B. Finder
  C. Multiple Desktops
