CompTIA 6-Step Troubleshooting Process:

1. Identify the problem.

2. Establish a theory of probably cause. (Question the obvious)

3. Test the theory to determine cause.

4. Establish a plan of action to resolve the problem and implement the solution.

5. Verify full system functionality and if applicable implement preventative measures.

6. Document findings, actions, and outcomes.

Writing a knowledge base article in the ticketing software would help document the root cause of the application error and the steps taken to resolve it, which can help other technicians resolve similar issues in the future. This is an example of knowledge management best practices. References: CompTIA A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Tenth Edition, Chapter 6

The primary security concern with virtual machine escape is compromising the hypervisor, which can allow attackers to gain access to other virtual machines or the host system. Virtual machine escape refers to an attack that allows a guest virtual machine to break out of its isolated environment and access other parts of the system.

The first step in troubleshooting a printer issue is to disconnect the printer power to avoid electric shock or further damage to the printer. The technician can then inspect the fuser and determine if it needs to be replaced or repaired. Installing a printer roller kit or replacing the paper with thicker paper stock will not solve the problem of the overheating fuser. Replacing the fuser without disconnecting the power is dangerous and not recommended. References: https://www.comptia.org/certifications/a#examdetails https://www.comptia.org/blog/what-is-a-fuser

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a wireless communication technology that is commonly used for contactless payments, mobile payments, and other mobile transactions. It allows two devices to communicate with each other when they are placed in close proximity.

Contactless payments commonly use NFC (Near Field Communication). NFC is a wireless communication technology that allows two devices to communicate with each other when they are in close proximity. Contactless payments use NFC to enable customers to make payments by simply tapping their contactless card or mobile device on a payment terminal.

IaaS is a cloud computing model where a third-party provider hosts infrastructure components such as servers, storage, and networking on behalf of customers. This allows the startup to immediately expand its data center without the need for additional personnel or space to manage everything internally. Additionally, IaaS allows remote users to easily access the required computational and storage resources from multiple small offices.

Infrastructure as a Service (laaS) can provide the startup with the necessary computational and storage solutions without the need for internal management. laaS allows organizations to rent computing resources from a third-party provider instead of owning and maintaining them in-house.

It is designed to protect an organization's network infrastructure and data from unauthorized access, while allowing legitimate traffic to pass through. Firewalls can be configured to enforce security policies that block certain types of traffic, limit access to specific network resources, and prevent attacks such as malware and phishing.

A firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. It establishes a barrier between a trusted internal network and an untrusted external network, such as the Internet. Firewalls are used to implement network security policies for an environment by controlling access to the network and protecting it from unauthorized access.

A firewall is used to implement network security policies. It monitors incoming and outgoing traffic based on predetermined security rules and can block traffic that does not meet the defined criteria.

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a network topology that allows a switch to be divided into separate logical networks. This allows for the creation of multiple broadcast domains within a single physical network, improving network segmentation and security. With VLANs, you can segment your network so that different departments, applications, or users are isolated from each other, improving network security and performance.

A SIM card is needed for the device to use cellular network services, so without it, the device will be unable to connect to the cloud services when taken off site. MDM (Mobile Device Management) can be used to manage settings and access on a device, but it is not necessary for the device to be able to use cloud services. S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) certificates are used to encrypt and digitally sign emails, and are not related to device connectivity. Bluetooth can be used to connect devices together, but it is not necessary for the device to be able to use cloud services.
