Mod 13 Maintaining Windows

A technician requires a file system on an internal 1.5 TB Windows 10 boot drive that supports file encryption, disk quotas, and security features such as file and folder permissions. Which of the following will support these requirements?

• NFS

• FAT32

• NTFS

• exFAT

• CDFS

Answer explanation

NTFS is the only file system listed that supports file encryption, disk quotas, and security features like file and folder permissions, making it the correct choice for the technician's requirements.

A user is attempting to format a 4 TB HDD using NTFS but only has the option to format the disk with a size of approximately 2 TB. What is the most likely reason the user is unable to format the disk to its full capacity?

• The disk is using the MBR partitioning scheme.

• The disk is using the GUID partitioning scheme.

• NTFS only supports up to 2.2 TB volume sizes.

• The user chose a primary partition instead of an extended partition.

Answer explanation

The user is likely unable to format the 4 TB HDD to its full capacity because it is using the MBR partitioning scheme, which limits the maximum partition size to 2 TB.

Which Windows command will delete the files and directories at the destination that no longer exist at the source location?

• copy /v

• xcopy /y

• robocopy /purge

• format /q

Answer explanation

The command 'robocopy /purge' is used to synchronize directories by deleting files and directories at the destination that no longer exist at the source, making it the correct choice for this task.

A Windows 10 user wants to display all the files in all the subdirectories on the E: drive with the file extension of doc. What command would perform this function?

• cd..

• dir e:\*.doc /p

• dir *.doc

• dir e:\*.doc /s

Answer explanation

The command 'dir e:\*.doc /s' lists all .doc files in the E: drive and its subdirectories. The '/s' switch is essential for searching through subdirectories, making it the correct choice.

A technician would like to have the ability to add physical hard drives to a Storage Spaces storage pool at future times on an as-needed basis. Which of the following Storage Space features describes this functionality without the need to also reconfigure the available space to users?

• Thin provisioning

• Mirroring

• Parity

• Deduplication

Answer explanation

Thin provisioning allows for the addition of physical hard drives to a Storage Spaces pool without reconfiguring the available space for users, making it ideal for future expansion as needed.

Which of the following is a means of configuring a space with the total estimated storage that will be needed by the users, allowing the actual space to be less than the provisioned space and increasing available space without reconfiguring?

• Three-way mirror

• Thin provisioning

• Resiliency

• Two-way mirror

• Parity

Answer explanation

Thin provisioning allows for allocating more storage space than is physically available, enabling efficient use of resources. This means users can have the estimated storage they need while the actual space used can be less.

Which of the following needs to be completed prior to creating a spanned, striped, or mirrored volume on an unallocated space in Windows?

• Shrink each disk volume to an equal size.

• Format the separate disks using the NTFS file system.

• Assign drive letters to each of the separate disks.

• Convert basic disks to dynamic disks.

Answer explanation

To create a spanned, striped, or mirrored volume, you must first convert basic disks to dynamic disks. This step is essential as dynamic disks allow for these advanced volume types, while basic disks do not.

A user wants to make sure he can quickly restore his computer after a drive failure, to the state it was in when Windows and all its apps were initially installed. Which backup type will be most useful in this scenario?

• Restore points

• File History backup

• System image backup

• System Restore

Answer explanation

A System image backup captures the entire state of the system, including Windows and all installed applications, allowing for a complete restoration after a drive failure. This is the best option for the user's needs.

Choose the following tools that are available in Windows 10 for backing up user data or for complete system images (Select two).

• Restore points

• File History

• Custom refresh image

• System Protection

• Backup and Restore

Answer explanation

File History automatically backs up user files, while Backup and Restore allows for complete system image backups. Both are effective tools in Windows 10 for protecting user data.

A Windows user contacted the help desk with a problem that requires the technician to connect to the remote computer using Remote Assistance to view a very detailed and cryptic error message on the user's desktop. Each attempt the technician makes to connect to the remote computer results in a message stating the connection was refused. Which of the following protocol and port number combinations should be opened on the remote computer's firewall to allow this connection?

• TCP port 3389 (RDP)

• TCP port 135 (DCOM)

• TCP port 3388 (VNC)

• TCP port 3389 (Remote Assistance)

Answer explanation

To allow Remote Assistance connections, TCP port 3389 must be opened on the remote computer's firewall. This port is specifically used for Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Remote Assistance, enabling the technician to connect.
