A company wants to find an affordable way to simulate a fail over of a critical application. The company does not currently have a solution for it. The application consists of 15 servers, and the company would like to simulate on production configurations and IP address schemes. Which of the following would be the most cost-effective solution?
A. Build a warm site and perform a fail over of the application.
B. Build a cloud IaaS and perform a fail over of the application.
C. Build a hot site and perform a fail over of the application.
D. Build a cold site and perform a fail over of the application.
E. Perform a tabletop fail over of the application.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Cloud IaaS can temporarily host all 15 servers in an isolated network that mirrors the production configurations and IP address scheme. This enables a practical failover simulation without the ongoing cost of a dedicated recovery site. A tabletop exercise is cheaper, but it would not test those configurations.
Question 72
An organization is donating its outdated server equipment to a local charity. Which of the following describes what the organization should do before donating the equipment?
A. Remove all the data from the server drives using the least destructive method.
B. Repurpose and recycle any usable server components.
C. Remove all the components from the server.
D. Review all company policies.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: Review company policies first to determine the approved procedures for sanitizing data and authorizing equipment donations. Simply removing data by an unspecified method may not meet the organization’s security requirements.
Question 73
A technician needs to configure a server's RAID array for maximum capacity. Which of the following RAID levels BEST meets this requirement?
A. 0
B. 1
C. 5
D. 6
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: RAID 0 uses the full capacity of all drives because it reserves no space for mirroring or parity. It provides no fault tolerance, but maximum capacity is the stated requirement.

Question 74
SIMULATION
Users report that the FinanceApp software is not running, and they need immediate access. Issues with the FinanceApp software occur every week after the IT team completes server system updates. The users, however, do not want to contact the help desk every time the issue occurs.
The users also report the new MarketApp software is not usable when it crashes, which can cause significant downtime. The technician who restarted the MarketApp software noticed it is running under a test account, which is a likely cause of the crashes.
INSTRUCTIONS
Using the Services menu provided, modify the appropriate application services to remedy the stated issues.
If at any time you would like to bring back the initial state of the simulation, please click the Reset All button.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: FinanceApp Service: Set Startup type to Automatic and start the service.
MarketApp Service: Change Log On from TestAccount to an appropriate service account, and set Recovery actions to restart the service after a failure.
Explanation: FinanceApp is set to Manual, so it does not start automatically after server updates. MarketApp is already set to start automatically, but its test account may cause crashes; automatic recovery limits downtime if it fails.
Question 75
An administrator gave Ann modify permissions to a shared folder called DATA, which is located on the company server. Other users need read access to the files in this folder. The current
configuration is as follows:
The administrator has determined Ann cannot write anything to the DATA folder using the network. Which of the following would be the best practice to set up Ann's permissions correctly, exposing only the minimum rights required?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Network access is limited by both share and file permissions. Giving authenticated users full control at the share level removes the read-only limit for Ann; her file permission still limits her to modify. Other users’ file permissions should remain read-only.
Question 76
A server administrator is building a pair of new storage servers. The servers will replicate; therefore, no redundancy is required, but usable capacity must be maximized. Which of the following RAID levels should the server administrator implement?
A. 0
B. 1
C. 5
D. 6
E. 10
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: RAID 0 uses the full capacity of all drives in the array and provides no drive-level redundancy. Since the servers replicate and the requirement is to maximize usable capacity, RAID 0 is the best fit.
Question 77
An administrator is researching the upcoming licensing software requirements for an application that usually requires very little technical support. Which of the
following licensing models would be the LOWEST cost solution?
A. Open-source
B. Per CPU socket
C. Per CPU core
D. Enterprise agreement
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Open-source software generally has no licensing fee. Because the application needs little technical support, it is less likely to incur significant support costs, making it the lowest-cost option listed.
Question 78
A server located in an IDF of a paper mill reboots every other day at random times. Which of the following should the technician perform on the server first?
A. Check the power cables.
B. Clean the fans.
C. Replace the RAM.
D. Reattach the CPU heat sink.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: A paper mill is a dusty environment. Dust buildup can obstruct server fans and cause overheating, which can trigger intermittent reboots. Cleaning the fans is the best first step among the options.
Question 79
A newly hired systems administrator is concerned about fileshare access at the company. The administrator turns on DLP for the fileshare and lets it propagate for a week. Which of the following can the administrator perform now?
A. Manage the fileshare from an RDP session.
B. Audit the permissions of the fileshare.
C. Audit the access to the physical fileshare.
D. Manage the permissions from the fileshare.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: After a week, the administrator can review DLP activity to audit access to the fileshare. DLP does not determine the fileshare’s permission settings; those can be audited separately without waiting for DLP data.
Question 80
A technician needs maximum power redundancy while configuring a new server rack. Which of the following should be specified? (Choose two.)
A. Separate circuits
B. Rack balancing
C. Blanking panels
D. High-voltage PDUs
E. KVM placement
F. Multiple UPSs
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A, F
Explanation: Separate circuits provide independent power paths, while multiple UPSs provide backup if one UPS fails or loses power. Together, these maximize power redundancy.
