Question 61

Which of the following is designed for interaction to take place via an OS running on the host rather than the host directly?

A. Type 1 hypervisor

B. Type 2 hypervisor

C. Elasticity

D. Multitenancy

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:
A Type 2 hypervisor runs on top of a host operating system and relies on that OS for interaction with the underlying hardware. In contrast, a Type 1 hypervisor runs directly on the host hardware (bare metal). Elasticity and multitenancy are cloud computing concepts, not hypervisor types.

Question 61

A technician is unable to join a computer to the domain. The technician runs ipconfig and gets the following output: Which of the following is the most likely cause?

A. The subnet mask is incorrect.

B. NetBIOS is enabled.

C. DHCP is enabled.

D. DNS servers are manually set.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:
The computer is using Google DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), which generally cannot resolve the organization’s internal Active Directory records needed to locate a domain controller. It should use the organization’s internal DNS server.

Question 62

A shared printer experiences an outage when users submit numerous print jobs at the same time. Which of the following would an engineer most likely do after verifying network connectivity?

A. Reboot the server.

B. Reinstall the printer drivers.

C. Reset the printer to factory settings.

D. Restart the spooler service.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:
After confirming network connectivity, the most likely cause of a shared printer outage under heavy simultaneous print jobs is a hung or overloaded print spooler. Restarting the spooler service clears stuck print jobs and restores printing with less disruption than rebooting the server. Reinstalling drivers or resetting the printer are not appropriate first responses to this symptom, and rebooting the server is more disruptive than restarting the specific service.

Question 62

A user reports the following error message to the help desk: Drive failure imminent The user presses F1 to continue past the error and work like normal. Which of the following should the help desk technician do to fix this issue?

A. Replace the hard disk.

B. Reformat the partition.

C. Rebuild the array.

D. Enter safe mode.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:
“Drive failure imminent” is typically a SMART warning that the hard disk may fail soon. The technician should back up the user’s data and replace the drive; reformatting or entering safe mode will not fix the failing hardware.

Question 63

Which of the following cloud characteristics allows local folders to contain updates that are made by users on other devices?

A. Network share

B. Synchronization

C. Availability

D. Metered utilization

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:
Synchronization propagates changes made on one device to the corresponding local folders on other connected devices.

Question 64

An office is experiencing frequent wireless outages and slow network speeds. A technician confirms that all wireless devices are experiencing the same symptoms. Which of the following should the technician do to determine whether the issue is external or internal?

A. Restart all devices and ensure they join the workgroup.

B. Check the DNS configuration to make sure it is correct.

C. Connect a machine using Ethernet and test connectivity.

D. Perform a policy update on Active Directory and reset network settings.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:
Connecting a device via Ethernet isolates the problem. If the wired connection works normally while wireless is slow or dropping, the issue is likely internal to the wireless infrastructure (APs, interference, configuration). If the wired connection also has connectivity problems, the issue is more likely upstream or external to the wireless network. The other options do not effectively distinguish between an internal wireless issue and a broader network/external issue.

Question 64

A local bank is designing its new infrastructure blueprint. Which of the following RAID types offers double parity?

A. RAID 0

B. RAID 1

C. RAID 5

D. RAID 6

Show Answer

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:
RAID 6 uses double parity, allowing it to tolerate the failure of up to two drives in the array without data loss.

Question 65

Which of the following DNS records should a technician configure to allow domains that are not owned by the company to send messages on the company's behalf?

A. SPF

B. MX

C. CNAME

D. DMARC

E. DKIM

Show Answer

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a DNS TXT record that specifies which mail servers are authorized to send email on behalf of a domain. It is used to authorize external sending services for the company's domain. MX identifies mail receivers, CNAME is an alias, DMARC defines handling/alignment policies, and DKIM publishes a public key for message signing rather than authorizing senders.

Question 65

Which of the following types of RAM is most likely used in data centers and in high-performance machines?

A. ЕСС

B. Single-channel

C. Unbuffered

D. RDIMM

Show Answer

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:
RDIMMs (Registered DIMMs) are commonly used in servers and high-performance systems because their register reduces the electrical load on the memory controller, allowing greater memory capacity and improved stability. ECC is a separate error-correction feature that can also be used with RDIMMs.

Question 66

Following a power outage, a laptop will not turn on. Which of the following should a technician replace first to resolve the issue?

A. The AC adapter

B. The RAM

C. The inverter

D. The battery

Show Answer

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:
The AC adapter is the first component to check or replace because it supplies power to the laptop and may have been damaged by a power fluctuation. RAM or the inverter would not usually prevent the laptop from receiving power at all.
