This type of wireless encryption is usually seen in larger businesses, and each user must log in with their own credentials. What does this technology's name stand for?
This is an enterprise grade solution built off of WPA2 encryption. This disables shared wireless access using one password and requires each user to use unique credentials for access.
Which Internet connection type is limited to a area near the central office and can rely on existing wiring infrastructure?
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is limited by the distance from the central office for communication and can make use of existing phone lines already in place at your home or business.
ASR was introduced by which operating system?
(Automated System Recovery) A complete operating system restore function in Windows that was introduced in XP.
What is the keyboard shortcut for launching Windows Task Manager?
The key combination invokes a task manager or security related component that facilitates ending a Windows session or killing a frozen application.
Harrold is setting up a new Web server at work, but he doesn't want DHCP to provide it with a new IP address each time he reboots it for maintenance. What kind of Internet address should Harrold assign to the new Web server?
Static addresses are those that are manually assigned and entered on a device. This will effectively disable DHCP. He should also reserve the IP address in the DHCP pool as good practice to prevent it from being leased to another device.
You recently installed a new printer driver, and now the printer is not working properly. Which method does Microsoft suggest for uninstalling an upgraded printer driver?
The correct answer is To roll back the driver for the physical device, use the device manager.
What must our SOHO router do in order for devices on our local IPv4 network to communicate with other devices on the Internet?
NAT (Network Address Translation) allows our private local network IPv4 addresses to be translated into a public IP address capable of connecting over the Internet. This can also be used with IPv6, due to security advantages, although it is less likely.
What router setting can you use to restrict access to the router to only the devices you specified in the configuration?
With MAC filtering enabled, only devices with a MAC address that is listed in the MAC filtering table on the router are allowed access.
Where could you install a Web server that is publically accessible from the Internet but isolated from the rest of your network?
By creating a DMZ (demilitarized zone), you are setting up a a separate network that is accessible from the Internet. A DMZ makes certain services available to external users while denying access to the rest of your network. Services typically segmented by a DMZ could include: email servers, Web servers, and FTP servers.
What program is used to move user data from an old computer to a new one?
USMT captures user accounts, user files, operating system settings, and application settings, and then migrates them to a new Windows installation. You can use USMT for both PC replacement and PC refresh migrations.
What is the maximum RAM that Windows 32-bit operating systems can support?
If you have a 32 bit CPU, you will only be able to install 32 bit operating systems, which effectively lowers maximum amount of RAM to just 4GB.
192.168.15.211 is what kind of IP address?
IPv4 addresses follow the format of four decimal octets. IPv6 format is eight hexadecimal quartets. IP addresses that begin with 192.168 are in the RFC1918 set of private addresses.
What address should you use as the default gateway address when manually configuring TCP/IP settings on a PC in a SOHO network?
The default gateway address is the address that a computer sends traffic to if it has no other route in its routing table. That would apply to most Internet addresses, so the default gateway is the device that sends traffic out to the Internet: the Internet router.
To access the command prompt, what would you type into the search box?
cmd.exe is the default command-line interpreter for the OS/2, eComStation, ArcaOS, Microsoft Windows (Windows NT family and Windows CE family), and ReactOS operating systems. The name refers to its executable filename. It is also commonly referred to as cmd or the Command Prompt, referring to the default window title on Windows.
Which command will find faulty sectors on a disk partition structure and recover data?
Checks the file system and file system metadata of a volume for logical and physical errors. If used without parameters, chkdsk displays only the status of the volume and does not fix any errors. If used with the /f, /r, /x, or /b parameters, it fixes errors on the volume

a. CD/DVD
b. Network File Share
For twisted pair cabling, which connection sets are used?
RJ11 and RJ45 are used in twisted pair cabling, commonly for phone lines and ethernet, respectively.
Which tool would you use to stop a program from starting up?
MSConfig is a system utility to troubleshoot the Microsoft Windows startup process. It can disable or re-enable software, device drivers and Windows services that run at startup, or change boot parameters.
