SK0-005 Exam Dumps - CompTIA Server+ Certification Exam

According to the CompTIA troubleshooting methodology, the fourth step is to establish a plan of action to resolve the problem and implement the solution1. The best practice is to test each solution individually to determine the root cause, rolling back the changes in between each test. This way, the technician can isolate the cause and avoid introducing new problems or making the situation worse. Testing each solution in succession and restoring the server from the latest snapshot (D) is not a good option because it may not identify the root cause and may overwrite important data. Implementing the shortest solution first to identify the issue and minimize downtime © is also not a good option because it may not solve the problem or may create new issues. Consulting internet forums to determine which is the most common cause and deploy only that solution (A) is not a good option because it may not apply to the specific situation or may be outdated or inaccurate

A database server is a server that hosts a database management system (DBMS) that stores, organizes, and manipulates data. A database server is suitable for housing customer sales records, as it can provide fast and secure access, query and analysis capabilities, backup and recovery options, and scalability and performance optimization. Some examples of database servers are Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Verified References: [What is a Database Server?]

FinanceApp software is running as a service named “FinanceApp Service”. The service description says “Provides financial data and calculations for the FinanceApp software”. The service status is “Stopped”, which means that the service is not running and the software is not functional. The service startup type is “Manual”, which means that the service needs to be started manually by the user or the administrator. The service log on as is “Local System”, which means that the service runs under a predefined local account that has extensive privileges on the local computer.

To fix the issue with the FinanceApp software, you need to do two things:

First, you need to start the service, so that the software can run. To do this, you can right-click on the service name and select “Start” from the menu. Alternatively, you can select the service name and click on the “Start” button on the toolbar. You should see a message saying that the service has started successfully.

Second, you need to change the service startup type, so that the service can start automatically every time the server boots up. This way, you don’t have to contact the help desk every time the issue occurs. To do this, you can right-click on the service name and select “Properties” from the menu. Alternatively, you can select the service name and click on the “Properties” button on the toolbar. You should see a window with several tabs and options. On the “General” tab, under “Startup type”, you can select “Automatic” from the drop-down list. Then, click on “OK” to save your changes.

By doing these two steps, you should be able to use the FinanceApp software without any problems.

The MarketApp software is running as a service named “MarketApp Service”. The service description says “Provides market data and analysis for the MarketApp software”. The service status is “Running”, which means that the service is running and the software is functional. However, as you reported, the software may crash sometimes, which can cause significant downtime. The service startup type is “Automatic”, which means that the service starts automatically every time the server boots up. The service log on as is “TestAccount”, which is a test account that was probably used for development or testing purposes.

To fix the issue with the MarketApp software, you need to do one thing:

You need to change the service log on as, so that the service runs under a proper account that has sufficient permissions and security settings for production use. To do this, you can right-click on the service name and select “Properties” from the menu. Alternatively, you can select the service name and click on the “Properties” button on the toolbar. You should see a window with several tabs and options. On the “Log On” tab, under “Log on as”, you can select either “Local System account” or “This account”. If you choose “Local System account”, then the service will run under a predefined local account that has extensive privileges on the local computer. If you choose “This account”, then you will need to enter a valid username and password for an account that has appropriate permissions and security settings for running the service. You may need to consult with your IT team or your software vendor to determine which option is best for your situation. Then, click on “OK” to save your changes.

Port 443 is the default port for HTTPS, which is the protocol used for secure web communication. HTTPS uses SSL/TLS certificates to encrypt the data between the web server and the browser. Port 443 is commonly used for web servers that need to provide secure services, such as online banking, e-commerce, or email. By allowing port 443, the administrator can access the web server’s interface and manage its settings1.

Port 3389 is the default port for RDP, which is the protocol used for remote desktop connection. RDP allows a user to remotely access and control another computer over a network. Port 3389 is commonly used for remote administration, technical support, or remote work. By allowing port 3389, the administrator can connect to the web server’s desktop and perform tasks that require graphical user interface2.

Shipping is a process of sending logs from one system to another system for centralized storage and analysis. Shipping can help ensure compliance with regulations that require financial systems logs to be stored in a central location. Shipping can also help improve security, performance, and scalability of log management.

The per-concurrent user licensing model is a type of licensing model that restricts the number of active sessions or connections to a software application at any given time. This means that multiple users can share the same license, as long as they do not access the application simultaneously. This model is often used for applications that are accessed intermittently or for a short duration by different users, such as remote access software, web-based applications, or testing tools12.

A public cloud is a cloud model that provides shared resources and services over the internet to multiple users or organizations. The cloud provider owns and manages the infrastructure and charges users based on their usage or subscription. A public cloud can offer scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency for users who need access to various applications and data without investing in their own hardware or software.

A host firewall is a software that controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic on a server based on predefined rules and filters. It can block or allow certain ports, protocols, or addresses that are used for communication with other servers or devices. If a server is unable to connect to another server after applying a patch, it is possible that the patch changed or added a firewall rule that prevents the connection. The administrator should check the host firewall rule and modify it if necessary to restore connectivity. Verified References: [Host firewall], [Network connection]
