Question 2

IT is asked to evaluate whether a custom legacy application running on Windows XP should be migrated. What should the IT team communicate to the business stakeholder about the risk of staying on XP?

That running unsupported OS exposes the business to unpatched security vulnerabilities and compliance risks

Answer

Stakeholders must understand that end-of-life OS status creates direct security and compliance exposure to justify migration investment.

Question 3

A Windows XP user's account is locked out repeatedly each morning. IT discovers it is caused by a cached credential on their mobile phone. How should this be explained to the user?

Explain that their old password saved on their phone is causing the lockout and guide them to update it

Answer

Explaining the specific cause in plain language empowers the user to understand and prevent the issue from recurring.

Brief supervisors on the change, provide a one-page guide, and post quick-reference instructions at the workstation

Multi-layer communication through supervisors and on-site instructions ensures all shift workers receive and retain the information.
