• Question 34:

  Users at a remote site have reported that a regularly used server is inaccessible.

Which of the following troubleshooting steps is this an example of?

  A. Establish a plan to resolve the issue.

  B. Establish a theory of probable cause.

  C. Establish the scope of the issue.

• Question 35:

  An administrator is sizing a new server that will run a 1TB database. One of the processor options is the size of the L2 cache. The administrator picks the processor with the least amount of L2 cache. Which of the following is an outcome of this selection?

  A. The processor will be faster with a lower L2 cache, speeding up database access times.

  B. The database will be slower because of a lower amount of cache hits.

  C. Database access does not rely on cache, so there will be no difference in performance.

  D. The cost of the processor will be higher.

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 36:

  A server technician was recently given a penetration testing report. The report states that VNC is running on server 192.168.1.25. Which of the following can the technician conclude about the statement?

  A. The default TCP port for VNC is 3389, and the penetration test is implying the system cannot be remotely accessed.

  B. The default TCP port for VNC is 3389, and the penetration test is implying the system can be remotely accessed.

  C. The default TCP port for VNC is 5900, and the penetration test is implying the system can be remotely accessed.

  D. The default TCP port for VNC is 5900, and the penetration test is implying the system cannot be remotely accessed.

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 37:

• Question 38:

  An administrator is editing permissions on a workstation's file share. The administrator wishes to ensure that only marketing and accounting can write to the share over the network.

  Which of the following changes should be made to apply the share while preserving the access of local users? (Choose two.)

  A. Under share permissions, change permissions to "Deny Read, Write" for Everyone.

  B. Under share permissions, add "Full Control" for IT Staff.

  C. Under share permissions, remove the Everyone group.

  D. Under permissions, remove "Full Control" for Accounting.

  E. Under permissions, change permissions to "Deny Read, Write" for Everyone.

  Correct Answer: BE

• Question 39:

  Which of the following steps in the troubleshooting theory should be performed after a solution has been implemented? (Choose two.)

  A. Perform a root cause analysis

  B. Develop a plan of action

  C. Document the findings

  D. Escalate the issue

  E. Scope the issue

  F. Notify the users

  Correct Answer: AC

  1 Identify the problem and determine the scope 2 Establish a theory of probable cause (question the obvious) 3 Test the theory to determine the cause 4 Establish a plan of action to resolve the problem (Notify impacted users is here) 5 Implement the solution or escalate 6 Verify full system functionality and, if applicable, implement preventive measures 7 Perform a root cause analysis 8 Document findings, actions, and outcomes throughout the process

• Question 40:

  A server is reporting a hard drive S.M.A.R.T. error. When a technician checks on the drive, however, it appears that all drives in the server are functioning normally. Which of the following is the reason for this issue?

  A. A S.M.A.R.T. error is a predictive failure notice. The drive will fail in the near future and should be replaced at the next earliest time possible

  B. A S.M.A.R.T. error is a write operation error. It has detected that the write sent to the drive was incorrectly formatted and has requested a retransmission of the write from the controller

  C. A S.M.A.R.T. error is simply a bad sector. The drive has marked the sector as bad and will continue to function properly

  D. A S.M.A.R.T. error is an ECC error. Due to error checking and correcting, the drive has corrected the missing bit and completed the write operation correctly.

  Correct Answer: A

  A S.M.A.R.T. error is a predictive failure notice. The drive will fail in the near future and should be replaced at the next earliest time possible. S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a feature that monitors the health and performance of hard drives and alerts the user of any potential problems or failures. S.M.A.R.T. can detect various indicators of drive degradation, such as bad sectors, read/write errors, temperature, or spin-up time. If a S.M.A.R.T. error is reported, it means that the drive has exceeded a predefined threshold of acceptable operation and is likely to fail soon. The drive may still function normally for a while, but it is recommended to back up the data and replace the drive as soon as possible to avoid data loss or system downtime.
