Isolating the machine can be done by disconnecting the network cable, disabling the wireless adapter, or blocking the network traffic with a firewall.

• Question 755:

  Which of the following user roles within the Windows OS should the technician choose?

  A. Power
  B. Default
  C. Administrator
  D. Superuser
  C. Administrator

  ---

  Explanation

  In the Windows OS, to grant a user permissions equivalent to root-level permissions (which means full control over the system), the user needs to be given:

  Administrator: The Administrator role provides full control over the system, including the ability to install and uninstall software, change system settings, and access all files and directories. Power: The Power User role provides some

  administrative capabilities but not full control. It is a legacy role with fewer permissions than Administrator.

  Default: This refers to a standard user account with limited permissions. Superuser: This term is more commonly associated with Unix/Linux systems and is not a specific role in Windows.
