Question 1
An organization recently experienced power outages. The administrator noticed the server did not have enough time to shut down properly. After the outages, the administrator had additional batteries installed in the UPS. Which of the following best describes the solution the administrator implemented?
Answer : D
The solution the administrator implemented extended runtime. Runtime is the amount of time that a UPS can provide backup power to a server in case of a power outage. By installing additional batteries in the UPS, the administrator increased the capacity and duration of the backup power, allowing the server more time to shut down properly.
Question 2
Which of the following actions should a server administrator take once a new backup scheme has been configured?
Answer : C
The action that the server administrator should take once a new backup scheme has been configured is to run a restore test. A restore test is a process of verifying that the backup data can be successfully recovered and restored to its original location or a different location. A restore test can help ensure that the backup scheme is working properly, that the backup data is valid and consistent, and that there are no errors or issues during the recovery process. A restore test should be performed periodically and after any changes to the backup configuration or environment.
Question 3
A systems administrator noticed a new network card is not being recognized by the operating system. Which of the following is most likely the cause?
Answer : B
When a newly installed network card is not being recognized by the operating system, the most likely cause is that the necessary driver is not installed or loaded. Device drivers act as intermediaries between the hardware and the operating system. Without the correct driver, the OS cannot communicate with or properly use the network card.
Other Options:
A . The network cable is unplugged: This would prevent network connectivity, but the OS would still recognize the network card itself.
C . The IP settings are incorrect: Incorrect IP settings can cause network issues but do not prevent the OS from recognizing the NIC.
D . PXE boot is enabled: PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) allows a system to boot from a network rather than a local disk. While PXE may affect booting, it does not directly cause a NIC to be unrecognized by the OS.
Thus, the most likely cause is that the driver for the network card is not installed or properly loaded.

Question 4
A technician has moved a data drive from a new Windows server to an orderWindows server. The hardware recognizes the drive, but the data is not visible to the OS. Which of the following is the MOST Likely cause of the issue?
Answer : A
GPT (GUID Partition Table) is a partitioning scheme that allows creating partitions on large hard drives (more than 2 TB). It supports up to 128 partitions per drive and uses 64-bit addresses to locate them. However, GPT is not compatible with older versions of Windows, such as Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, which use MBR (Master Boot Record) as the partitioning scheme. If a disk uses GPT, it may not be recognized or accessible by an older Windows server. Verified Reference: [GPT], [MBR]
Question 5
A Linux server requires repetitive tasks for reconfiguration. Which of the following would be the best scripting language to use?
Answer : C
Bash is a scripting language that is commonly used in Linux systems to automate tasks and manipulate text. Bash scripts can run commands, variables, functions, loops, and conditional statements. PowerShell is a scripting language that is mainly used in Windows systems, while batch command files are simple text files that contain a series of commands to be executed by the command-line interpreter. Visual Basic is a programming language that is used to create applications, not scripts.Reference: [CompTIA Server+ Certification Exam Objectives], Domain 4.0: Server Administration, Objective 4.2: Given a scenario, perform proper server maintenance techniques.
Question 6
A technician needs to restore data from a backup. The technician has these files in the backup inventory:
Which of the following backup types is being used if the file 01062020.bak requires another file to restore data?
Answer : B
An incremental backup only backs up files that have changed since the last backup, whether it was a full or an incremental backup. Therefore, an incremental backup file may require another file to restore data, depending on the sequence of backups. A full backup backs up all files and does not require any other file to restore data. A snapshot is a point-in-time copy of data that does not depend on other files. A differential backup backs up files that have changed since the last full backup and does not require any other file to restore data.
Question 7
Which of the following can be BEST described as the amount of time a company can afford to be down during recovery from an outage?
Answer : C
The term that best describes the amount of time a company can afford to be down during recovery from an outage is RTO. RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is a metric that defines the maximum acceptable downtime for an application, system, or process after a disaster or disruption. RTO helps determine the level of urgency and resources required for restoring normal business operations. RTO is usuallymeasured in minutes, hours, or days, depending on the criticality and impact of the service.
