Question 180

A change board is planning a verified response to this server event: An automation pipeline rebuilds production servers but never records the OS image version or package bill of materials for rollback. For the Golden image lifecycle and OS support issue, which response elements belong in the approved plan? Select TWO answers.

  1. Maintain supported, patched golden images with version pinning, vulnerability scanning and reproducible configuration validation.
  2. Compare OS vendor support dates, package inventory, image build ID and scan findings against the approved baseline.
  3. Log growth no longer fills system volumes and data mounts have tested capacity thresholds and recovery procedures.
  4. Set authoritative zone records and split-view policy correctly, then validate resolver paths, TTL and cache expiration.
  5. Treat an old image as secure indefinitely because it was once approved.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

A successful OS install does not establish ongoing supportability or image provenance; images require lifecycle controls. This is the appropriate targeted correction for Golden image lifecycle and OS support.

B:

These observations investigate the exact Golden image lifecycle and OS support failure rather than unrelated components. The expected technical relationship is: A successful OS install does not establish ongoing supportability or image provenance; images require lifecycle controls.

Incorrect Answers

C:

That option would log growth no longer fills system volumes and data mounts have tested capacity thresholds and recovery procedures, but it addresses a different concern. A successful OS install does not establish ongoing supportability or image provenance; images require lifecycle controls.

D:

That option would set authoritative zone records and split-view policy correctly, then validate resolver paths, TTL and cache expiration, but it addresses a different concern. A successful OS install does not establish ongoing supportability or image provenance; images require lifecycle controls.

E:

Incident: An automation pipeline rebuilds production servers but never records the OS image version or package bill of materials for rollback.

Question 181

A server administrator is investigating a server issue involving dns split-horizon and resolver troubleshooting: An internal application hostname resolves publicly to the wrong IP because the private DNS zone was never configured for office clients. The change must address the documented fault without creating unrelated risk. Which corrective action is most appropriate? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Set authoritative zone records and split-view policy correctly, then validate resolver paths, TTL and cache expiration.
  2. Hardcode a temporary hosts-file entry on every workstation and skip resolving authoritative DNS errors.
  3. Configure nonoverlapping DHCP scopes, appropriate relay or helper settings and correct lease, gateway and DNS options.
  4. Assign supported switch VLAN modes and correct interface subnet, mask, gateway and routes; verify permitted inter-VLAN flows.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

DNS answers depend on resolver selection, authoritative records and caching; a ping of one host does not validate all name-resolution paths. For this case, An internal application hostname resolves publicly to the wrong IP because the private DNS zone was never configured for office clients.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This is the unsafe shortcut in the DNS split-horizon and resolver troubleshooting scenario, not a justified remediation or diagnostic. DNS answers depend on resolver selection, authoritative records and caching; a ping of one host does not validate all name-resolution paths.

C:

That option would configure nonoverlapping DHCP scopes, appropriate relay or helper settings and correct lease, gateway and DNS options, but it addresses a different concern.

Question 182

While reviewing the CompTIA Server+ administration incident, a technician learns: An internal application hostname resolves publicly to the wrong IP because the private DNS zone was never configured for office clients. Which principle most directly explains how to address the described issue safely? Select ONE best answer.

  1. File-system layout should reflect workload growth and recovery boundaries rather than only installer defaults.
  2. A standby's existence does not prove recoverability; replication lag, failover automation and consistency determine outcomes.
  3. Time synchronization is required for trustworthy logs, certificate validation windows and time-sensitive authentication.
  4. DNS answers depend on resolver selection, authoritative records and caching; a ping of one host does not validate all name-resolution paths.
