Q

llows Windows 10 to find other computers and devices on a network. This feature is automatically turned on when connected to private networks like the one in your home or workplace.

A

Network discovery.
Network discovery is turned off when you’re connected to public networks that shouldn’t be trusted, and you should not allow your PC to be discoverable on those networks. If your Windows 10 computer or device can’t view other computers on the network, two things are probably at fault: either the incorrect network profile is assigned (public instead or private), or network discovery is disabled

53
Q

Which of the following BEST describes how a DHCP reservation works?

A

by matching a MAC address to an IP address within the DHCP scope. When the client requests an IP address by sending a message on the network to the DHCP server, the DHCP server will assign an IP from its DHCP scope to the client and reserve it based on its MAC address. DHCP reservations allow the DHCP server to pre-set an IP address to a specific client based on its MAC address. This ensures that the client will always get the same IP address from the DHCP server when it connects to the network. DHCP reservations are usually used with servers or printers on your internal network and are rarely used with end-user or client devices.

54
Q

Your organization has recently suffered a data breach due to a server being exploited. As a part of the remediation efforts, the company wants to ensure that the default administrator password on each of the 1250 workstations on the network is changed. What is the easiest way to perform this password change requirement?

A

Deploy a new group policy. A group policy is used to manage Windows systems in a Windows network domain environment utilizing a Group Policy Object (GPO). GPOs can include many settings related to credentials, such as password complexity requirements, password history, password length, and account lockout settings. You can force a reset of the default administrator account password by using a group policy update.
