HD
WSXGA
SXGA
WXGA

How can you check to see if you have an invalid partition or file system structure?
Type C: at the command prompt.
Run the chkdsk utility.
Run the S.M.A.R.T. utility.
Use hard drive diagnostics software.
Type C: at the command prompt.
If you type C: at the command prompt, and this produces the error message “Invalid media type”, the disk has no valid file system on it. If it produces the error message “Invalid drive specification”, the drive may have an invalid partition.
A new systems consolidation plan requires that you implement a few workstations that will host several guest operating systems each. In your research you have decided to use a type-1 hypervisor for the host workstations. Which of the below virtualization solutions will work?
Install Windows Hyper-V Server. Install the guest operating systems one-by-one.
Install VMWare Workstation. Install the guest operating systems one-by-one.
Install Oracle VM VirtualBox. Install the guest operating systems one-by-one.
Install VMWare Fusion. Install the guest operating systems one-by-one.
Install Windows Hyper-V Server. Install the guest operating systems one-by-one.
Microsoft Hyper-V is a type-1 hypervisor. Windows Server 2008, 2012, 2016, and Windows 10 all include Hyper-V. There is also a stand-alone Windows Hyper-V Server product. Hyper-V can be enabled or disabled inside a Windows operating system. This alludes to being a type-2 hypervisor as it is within the Windows operating system. Because the scenario calls for a type-1 hypervisor, the best choice is to use the Windows Hyper-V Server, because it installs directly on bare metal.
Which protocol underpins file and printer sharing on Windows networks?
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Common Internet File System (CIFS)
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
Common Internet File System (CIFS)
Common Internet File System (CIFS), also known as Server Message Block (SMB), is the application protocol underpinning file and printer sharing on Windows networks.
What needs to be available to be able to ping DNS names?
An internet connection
A firewall
A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)
A DNS server
A DNS Server
You can ping DNS names (ping comptia.org for example) or FQDNs (ping sales.comptia.org for instance). However, this will not work if a DNS server is not available.
You have been given the project of running cables in the space between the structural ceiling and the suspended ceiling in your office building. Which cable types would you use for this project?
Plenum cables
Crossover cables
Drop cables
Riser cables
Plenum cables
Plenum rated cable has a special insulation that has low smoke and low flame characteristics. Plenum cable is mandated to be installed in any “air handling” space. For example, most large office buildings use the ceiling to return air to the AC unit.
What are the four cloud deployment types?
Public, Private, Community, Hybrid
Public, Private, Measured, On-Demand
Public, Private, Elastic, Community
Public, On-Demand, Private, Hybrid
Public, Private, Community, Hybrid
The four cloud deployment types are public, private, community, and hybrid. Public clouds are available to anyone. Private clouds are available only to an organization. Community clouds are available only to a certain group. Hybrid clouds are a combination of cloud types such as public and private.

Lightning is a proprietary 8 pin port and connector that is used for device connections and battery charging of Apple iOS mobile devices. The connector is reversible, meaning that it can be inserted without concern of which side is up or down as both sides of the connector are identical.
Modern guest virtual machine disk images created with Microsoft Hyper-V have what file extension?
vfd
vmdk
vhdx
vhd
vhdx
A vhdx file extension is associated with newer Hyper-V virtual machine disk images. Originally the file extension was vhd. The change between the two types brought many improvements, the most notable being a capacity increase. A vhd has a limit of 2 TB whereas a vhdx has a limit of 64 TB.
You are in the process of moving a virtualized environment from an old host computer to a new host computer. You are using VMWare Workstation for the virtualization. You have forgotten where you have saved the guest virtual disk image files on the old host computer. What file extensions can you search for so you may copy the disk images to the new host computer?
vfd
vhd
vmdk
vhdx
vmdk
A vmdk file is a virtualization storage format that is associated with VMWare Workstation and ESX server products.
What is true about integrated graphics in laptops?
Integrated graphics are part of the system chipset or CPU.

The small marina business you work for wants to add cable TV into the office building for constant weather updates. You need to connect the new cable modem to existing cable wiring in the building. Which cabling do you use for this project?
Use a RJ-45 cable.
Use a RG-59 patch cable.
Use a RG-6 patch cable.
Use a RJ-11 cable.
Use a RG-6 patch cable.
RG-6 is a coaxial cable that has a thicker core conductor for better signal quality and is often used as drop/patch cable for modern Cable Access TV (CATV) and broadband cable modems.

ATX (Advanced Technology Extended)
mATX (Micro-ATX)
ITX (Information Technology eXtended)
mATX (Micro-ATX)
The mATX (Micro-Advanced Technology Extended) standard specifies a 9.6 (244x244mm) square board, with fewer expansion slots (up to 4 compared to a maximum of 7 for full-sized ATX boards).
Which wireless technology found in some laptops allows a connection to a cellular network?
802.11
Bluetooth
WWAN
WLAN
