A project manager implements a new ticketing system that allows
the helpdesk to record knowledge, streamline efficiencies, and
automate solutions. Which of the following is the last of concerns for
application support?
A. Licensing
B. Distribution Method
C. Support
D. Training
Give this one a try later!
Distribution Method
A distribution method is normally not a major concern. Distribution is fairly
standardized for Windows, Mac, and Linux computers
Earlier versions of an OS that support an in-place upgrade to a newer version,
retaining settings, third-party apps, and user data files
Windows Pro for Workstations supports 4-way multiprocessing (four CPUs
installed to separate sockets) and up to 6 TB RAM. Windows Enterprise has the
same hardware limits but is not available via a retail channel.
, A distribution contains any precompiled software packages the vendor or
sponsor considers appropriate. Copies of these packages (including any
updates) will be posted to a software repository. Often the vendor will maintain
different repositories. For example, there may be one for officially supported
package versions, one for beta/untested versions, and one for "at own risk"
unsupported packages
The package manager needs to be configured with the web address of the
software repository (or repositories) that you want to use. It can then be used to
install, uninstall, or update the software. The repositories are configured
automatically by the guided setup process
The integrity of a package is usually rested by making cryptographic hash of the
compiled package, using a function such as MD5, SHA-256, or GNU Privacy
Guard (GPG) signing. The hash v a l u De o&n ' ft uknncotwi o?n are published on the package
vendor's site. The package manager validates the hash or signature before
proceeding with an update or installation.

A server administrator sets up static network configurations for
servers since they do not want the IP address to change. The
administrator sets up the IP address on a 24-bit subnet. What should
the administrator set the subnet mask to?

255.255.255.0
Administrators can also adjust the IP configuration via the settings app. In
this dialog, they need to enter the mask as a prefix length in bits.
255.255.255.0 mask is 24 bits.
Roaming profile
Roaming profile copies the whole profile from a share at logon and copies the
updated profile back at logoff.
, To consider licensing requirements, such as number of users or devices. There
also needs to be a system for monitoring license compliance and ensuring there
are no unauthorized installs.
In addition to any local shares created by a user, Windows automatically creates
hidden administrative shares. This includes the root folder of any local drives
(C$).
It also includes the system folder (ADMIN$). Administrative shares can only be
accessed by members of the local Administrators group.
C:\Windows$ is not automatically created. If the administrator wanted to
connect, they could first connect to C$ and then navigate to the Windows folder.
C:\Users$ is also not automatically created, but could also be accessed by first
accessing the hidden C$ share.

identifies operating systems installed on the computer. BOOTMGR
and the BCD are normally installed to a hidden System Reserved
partition
